(This scene takes place on a Sunday noon at the Roberts Home in the kitchen where Peter is making some mouth watering snacks for Emma! )

Peter was trying very hard to make things right between us. He made snacks for me and he tried spending enough time with me but it wasn't like before. He was gone for five years things changed, I changed a lot.

I was soo used to being alone that spending time with my siblings became difficult.I was changing into some warmer clothes because it was cold today. Even now I don't want to join my siblings for snacks, that's when I saw the sticky note on my mirror from other day with "HIATUS" scribbled on it. It reminded me to let go of every worry and fear and accept everything that brings smile and happiness my way

After changing I walked out of my room to the kitchen where Peter and Brian were enjoying their time together. "So what would my two monkeys prefer eating today? Your chef for today is waiting for your order" Peter asked throwing his hands in the air.

"I would prefer chocolate cupcakes and milkshake" Brian replied delighted. " and you Emms?" Peter asked turning towards me. "Our Usual! donuts with chocolate toppings, Pete's and Emms special recipe" smiling at him I replied.

Brian gave us a confused look, his head turning to both of us for answers " Heyy! This is not fair it should be Pete's, Emms and Bri's special recipe. Tell me about it I want to know"

"Me and Peter started making these donuts for each other when we were kids. This leads to yet another story and you don't like stories" I was looking at Brian with a sly smile. "It's fine by me, you can tell me about it I'm curious"

"So Emma was 7, playing in her sports hour. There was some construction taking place in one corner of the ground so it was a prohibited area and she landed up sneaking there and she fell on a iron rod. The rod pierced through her knee and was stuck in her flesh. She removed the rod from her knee by herself and she was bleeding a lot .She hadn't told anyone at school that she was injured and she tied a hand towel around her wound because she thought that the doctor in her school would give her an injection and she was extremely scared of injections" Peter was telling Brian about the incident.

"I wasn't scared of injections okay?? I just didn't want anyone to be worried about me." I interrupted their conversation. " Stop bluffing Emms even now your scared of injections......tell me more about it Pete" Brian burst out into laughter.

"So she came back home and wasn't willing to go to the doctor. So I made some donuts for her with chocolate toppings and bribed her to go the doctor. She promised me that she wouldn't make a mess in the hospital if I came along with her and brought some more donuts for her. But it all went in vain, when we were with the doctor and the doctor was about to inject her she kicked the doctor and was being chased by a group of nurses in the entire hospital. She was caught like a prisoner fleeing from the prison. To stop her from crying I had to give her some more donuts too. That's the reason I make donuts for her to stop her from crying" Peter was telling Brian controlling his laughter.

At last both of them broke into tears laughing and pulling my leg. " Today even I'm gonna eat donuts, you better be prepared to share this recipe with me or I would disown you as my sister." Brian replied.

The three of us made the donuts together, our special recipe. The evening was filled with the sweet aroma of the donuts and the warmth of our laughter filling the place. It felt good to have a break from being alone.
