29 29 Meeting Delayed (1/2)

Gabriel feels her fall asleep in his arms and kisses her head. He sat there and an hour or so later the door opened. Edna and Clarence walked into the room. ”Good morning, Mother and Father.”

”Good morning, Son. It is unusual for you to hold someone so close to you. I would ask you to move but she looks so comfortable in your arms.” Clarence looked at Amelia and smiled sadly.

Edna walked closer and smiled at the picture. ”Do you think the family will accept if we let her live with us in our place? We have all those cherry trees in the courtyard and the air is purer there. It might help her out.”

Amelia had woken up when the door opened and tapped Gabriel where the others could not see.

Gabriel looked down and smiled, ”I can not see why they would not accept. We will give her the best life or at least that is what I want to do. What do you think, Amelia?”

”I would like to accept but we still have to have a meeting so that everyone will be on the same page. That is if you guys are okay with this request of mine? Both sets of parents can come and discuss everything together.” She turned her head and she was blushing.

”Of course there is no issue with that. We can even finalize everything at the meeting. You are such a wonderful girl.” Edna smiled and looked at the two before stepping back.

”Thank you,” Amelia sat up slowly and then slid off the window sill. She stood up and coughed a little bit.

Gabriel got up and guided her back to the bed before helping her sit down. He then went and grabbed all three colors of medicines. ”Mother, could you get a cup of water?”

Edna placed her stuff down before heading to the door. ”Of course, I will be back.”

Aiko woke up as the door closed and looked up at Amelia who was sitting on the bed. She blinked a few times before realizing what happened.

”Good morning, Aiko. Did you rest well?” Amelia took the medicine packages and placed them on the bed. First, she picked up the yellow package and took it.
