Chapter 25

Chad leaned his chair back when he had cleaned his plate. “That was amazing, Ma. Thanks for cooking.” He turned to me next to him but on the couch. “You need to eat more than a few bites.”

I rolled my eyes. “I’m not hungry.”

“Those casts’ll be on a long time if you don’t eat right,” Dominic scolded me. “You need protein and dairy at least. How about some milk?”

I frowned. “Not really into milk.”

“Orange juice?” Dominic cocked an eyebrow.

After I let out a loud exhale, I agreed, “Yes I like that.”

“OK. Good.” Dominic smiled. “Chad, get her the one with extra vitamins. Oh and get her supplements too.”

Chad glanced at me. His eyes held concern. “I’ll do that.”

“Cameron and Gavin are on their way over,” my mother said as she took Chad’s empty plate. “Good thing I made so much.” She cooked when she was emotional. It helped her deal.

I leaned back and turned to Jon next to me. “Where’s Sean and Emma?”

“They’re home,” he explained. “I’m going out to Pittsburg next weekend.” He patted my knee. “I’ll be right back.” When he passed me, his phone rang. “Brandon? Everything OK?” He walked to the kitchen then sat with me again. “That works. Anthony’ll be there. If you wanna record next week too, we can work that out.”

When he hung up, I asked, “Was that Brandon Knight?”

“Yeah.” Jon put his phone in his pocket. “The tour’s delayed. So they’re bored. Might as well record some more of their next album.”

There was a quick knock at the door. Then my brothers walked in. “How’s my baby sister?” Cameron asked as he rushed to me. His grin was infectious. He leaned over the couch and hugged me gently. “Glad you’re OK.” His forehead pressed to mine for a few seconds.

“Stop smothering her.” Gavin shook his head. He waited for Cameron to move before he hugged me as well.

Jon nodded at my brothers and got to his feet again. “We should move that dresser before we forget about it.”

“Wish I could help,” Dominic said as he got to his feet. “But it’s my niece’s birthday. We’re taking her out for ice cream as soon as Anthony and Tony get home.”

Noelle smiled widely. “Thank you for dinner, Mrs. Atkinson.” They walked around to give hugs and handshakes. When she reached me, she palmed my cheek and whispered, “Let me know if you need anything you don’t feel comfortable letting the guys do.”

“Thanks.” I was surprised, since we had rarely spoken before then. “I will.” The offer was more than I could ask for.

Dominic kissed my cheek when she moved away. “Let me know if Chad gets overbearing. He’s scared. I can come by a few times a week if need be.”

“OK. Thanks.” I was lucky to have such amazing friends. “Tell Angela happy birthday.”

“Sure.” Dominic waved then pulled Noelle to get their coats.

Paulie grazed my cheek with his knuckles. “I’m gonna help John move your dresser.”

Minutes later, Jon called out, “Mrs. McLoughlin, which dresser is it?” Valerie hopped up from the loveseat and headed down the hall to the bedrooms.
