Dennis grabbed several more crayons and continued colouring, though it was awkward, with nothing holding onto his paper. Nevertheless, he laughed happily.
|
Amelia squealed and colored with him some more.
"Love...you don't have to do it all today...you can take a break and finish it later or tomorrow." said Amelia gently. |
Kuratu glanced at the clock. 'It's only been twenty minutes,' he said. 'I'll be done soon, anyway.'
|
Amelia checked the clock and he was right. Seeing that make her giggle.
"Oh, sorry..." she said and returned to her coloring with Dennis. He seemed to be enjoying himself, and she was happy to know that. |
Kuratu went back to his work. A few minutes later, he was done, and printed out seven copies of the two-page resume, stapling the copies together.
|
Amelia continued to color with Dennis and soon stopped and watched him color instead.
"What are you coloring Dennis?" asked Amelia softly. |
Dennis responded with a short string of babble. Kuratu chuckled as he finished with the last of the resumes and came over.
|
Amelia chuckled and nodded.
"I see, that's nice." she said and smiled. She then noticed that Kuratu came over and smiled at him. |
Kuratu smiled back at her and took a seat. 'I'll go with you to hand out resumes tomorrow, how's that?'
|
She looked at him surprised and nodded. Amelia didn't know what day it would be tomorrow, but was happy to be with Kuratu for a while tomorrow. Amelia finished coloring and watched Dennis color and smiled.
|
Dennis soon got bored of the colouring and crawled up to where the the end of the blanket was. He sat down and pulled the blanket over his head, giggling madly.
Kuratu grinned. 'Oh, I wonder what that lump is? What is it? Hm?' He felt Dennis' face through the covers, making the boy laugh harder until he finally pulled the blanket off his head, grinning at Kuratu. 'Oh! It's Dennis,' Kuratu said, chuckling. Dennis laughed, then pulled the blanket over his head again, and Kuratu repeated the process. |
Amelia chuckled at what she saw and smiled. She was very happy to see this and wondered if this is what she looked like too, before the accident of course.
"Dennis...you are so adorable!" she said quietly. |
Dennis giggled and crawled over to Amelia after a few moments. He crawled into her lap and sat there, smiling at her.
|
Amelia was shocked at what was happening.
"Huh? Oh! Hello Dennis." she said and stroke his hair gently. She was surprised he had even approached her and smiled at him then at Kuratu. |
Kuratu smiled at her. 'I told you he likes you.'
|
Amelia smiled and giggled.
"I like him too! And I love you Kuratu." she said and blushed. |
Kuratu smiled. He leaned over and kissed Amelia softly. 'I love you, too.'
|
Amelia returned the kiss and smiled. "I thank you for loving me too." she said and giggled.
|
Kuratu laughed gently. He sat next to Amelia and slipped an arm around her.
|
Amelia loved his laugh and felt his arm slip around her and she placed her head on his shoulder gently. She continued to stroke little Dennis' hair and then it came to her. They probably looked like a mini family right now.
|
It was almost as though Dennis sensed her thoughts. He looked up at Amelia right then and said, 'Mommy.' Kuratu looked at Amelia.
|
Amelia listened to him and gasped. "Kuratu...he just called me mommy!" she said and was surprised to be called mommy.
|
Kuratu nodded slowly. 'Yes, and we need to figure out what to do about it.'
|
Amelia nodded. "You're right, you're absolutely right...but what can we do?" she asked him confused.
|
'Well, we can either let him call you that, or say no, and teach him how to say "Amelia",' Kuratu said.
