“I kept all of them.”  My response caused her to raise her eyebrows in disbelief.  I pointed to my desk where my favorites were and then under it I had an entire scrap book full of them.  

“Oh wow!”  She exclaimed standing up to analyze the drawings.  We got halfway there when a shout from outside my door stopped us.  

“Breakfast.   Everyone come and get it!”  Arthur shouted from the stairs.  

I rolled my eyes and headed for the door.  “Come on.”  I called after me.  I wanted to call her banana but I didn’t.  She did take care of me after all.

Ashley P.O.V.

I followed Spencer downstairs a little hesitant.  I didn’t know how her family would react.  I didn’t really know anything other than when I woke up last night and after.  But I followed her anyways.  This was the second day in a row I woke up with a bounce in my step.  And I was arrested last night!

We entered the kitchen unnoticed.  Everyone was here.  Aunty Lisa, Aiden, and Kyla included.  The younger of the two were not really seated with the adults.  The two and Glen were seated in the living room while the adults were at the dining table.  Matt was there too.  He was sitting a little off to the side with a big tray of food next to him.  On his lap he had an iPad.  Man I think that kid is like surgically joined to those devices.   

“Want a drink?”  Spencer asked after she got her food.  I nodded and watched her watch to a second fridge further into the kitchen.  I decided to continue getting my plate.  

Who ever had cooked made a lot of food.  There were scrambled eggs and fruit and sausage and ooh, bacon.  I continued to pile my plate.  If I continued to eat like this I can say goodbye to my abs.

I was busy getting Shoyu for my eggs when a felt the presence of someone behind me.  

“Ashley can I speak to you.”  A voice that belonged to Arthur Carlin said.  I turned hesitantly to face the tall gruff man.
