Mandy

I woke up later that night seeing Timmy hadn't left my side I guess I must have dozed off some time later in the night or day after we ate our breakfast in bed. He was warm and comfortable to lay with. I had to pee really badly so I got up and went to the bathroom to do my business. I then heard my name was called. "Mandy?" "I'm in the bathroom Timmy I'll be out in a moment." I said back letting him know that I was ok. 

I came out after washing my hands going back to my room seeing Timmy was up it looked like he was leaving. "Where are you going?" I asked hoping that he wouldn't be leaving. "Nowhere. I'm here don't worry. Just let me go to the bathroom too." He said laughing. Timmy left for the bathroom and came out a few moments later and crawled into bed with me again and we snuggled before dozing off again.  

By morning time, Timmy and I were both up and getting dressed heading down to breakfast of course Timmy brought our dishes from the night before and we met every down stairs in the dining room for breakfast. This was my first time eating at the table with everyone else. 

"Good morning you two. I made us all a good breakfast of oatmeal and it's flavored so no worries there and some fruit. We will be having a picnic today and I'll make us all a big lunch so no stuffing yourselves before then." Said mom while waving her finger in the no no motion. We all laughed. I was given a big bowl of oatmeal but I saw that she had added peanut butter to it and I am allergic to peanuts so eating this I could die. 

"What's wrong Mandy honey?" Mom asked. "I'm sorry mother, but I'm allergic to peanuts and if I eat peanut butter in this oatmeal I can die. Dad do you still have my backpack?" I asked. I had recalled that I had a back pack from when Adam brought me here. "Yes I do why honey?" "Because I have an epie pen in it and I used it in case I come into contact with peanuts or anything that is made from peanuts or the factory or peanuts." 

Everyone had wide eyes so Sarah came over taking the bowl of oatmeal from me. "I'm so sorry dear." She said taking that bowl away from me quickly. She then mad me a bowl of regular oatmeal of butter and sugar and gave me some watermelon asking me if I could have that. I told her yes and we ate that. 

We all at in silence and Timmy I saw went up the stairs and came back down maybe twenty minutes later. "I was flossing and brushing my teeth to make sure I didn't have any peanut butter in my mouth. No worries honey I'm sure I have my mouth all cleaned out."

I smiled at Timmy and he kissed the top of my head and left. "What all do they do out there?" I asked. "Oh the boys? They just work outside they do farm work and look after our animals. We don't have many of them but we have a milking cow named Betsy, we have some chickens we collect eggs from and such. But if you wanna help me make our lunch dear that would be great. We'll only be in the kitchen for a few hours." Said Sarah. 

"Ok mom. I love to help. I never got to do mother daughter stuff with my birth mom. She and my father died an I was left alone." Sarah looked at me with a sad look while her daughter my sister Melody was cleaning up the table and doing dishes while the three of us all laughed and talked. 

"I'm so glad I have a big sister now. It's nice to have another girl in the house." She said laughing. "I know right?" I said laughing back. Sarah and I made a roast the meat seemed funny to me but I didn't care. I had been starved to death so I don't complain here. Sarah and I had put some type of honey glaze over the roast which was delicious smelling. After that we fix the sides with it like green beans and carrots and mashed potatoes with some gravy and for dessert a pie an apple pie. 

When the food was all done Sarah walked me and Melody outside I held the blanket while Sarah carried the basket of sides while Melody carried the roast. The boys were playing while Adam was working on collecting apples from the tree that we would all be sitting under having our lunch for the day. "Come on boys. It's been four hours since any of us all ate some let's all eat." Sarah shouted. We all sat together on the blanket and joined hands thanking for the food we were all about to receive. 

Timmy sat next to me and we all got out our throw away plates and started loading up our plates of food. I got so much meat my mouth was watering from the smell. We all laughed and talked while eating. I had seconds since I was starving. Adam grabbed a ball and got Ron over to him so they could play catch or something. I loved sports and hoped that I could play too. I went over to them and asked if I could join in too. 

"Yeah dad let her play. I wanna see if a girl could beat us." Said Ron teasing me. I knew I would. I'm not so cute as I look. "Ok. Go along Mandy let's see how good you are at catching and throwing." Adam joked and he threw the ball as far as he could I actually caught it and slid down the grass on my side which burnt but I loved it it didn't hurt badly. I then threw it which of course neither of them could catch the ball. "Wow, she's tougher than she looks." Said Ron. 

"Yeah I know right? Weird. Let's see how strong she is go tackle her." Said Adam who was messing with Ron. Of course I heard this and knew his plan. When Ron came up to me I picked him up throwing him down but not injuring him at all. "Dad, she beat me." He said laughing. 

"Alright that's enough guys. Come on let's clean up and try to have some family time inside the house." Said Sarah. "Awww, mom." Ron and I whined. "No whining, come on do as I say." "You heard your mother go on help her and then we'll see about playing another time." Said Adam. 

We all helped mom and dad clean up before returning back inside the house to have a nice warm fire going and some hot cocoa to be made. It was a nice day outside it was chilly out today but was nice for a picnic. It wasn't bad. I sat in front of the fire on the floor with a blanket wrapped around me and a hot cup of cocoa in my hand and we all just laughed and talked while relaxing by the fire.
