Chapter Seven

Roland, Mokuba and Seto returned to the Manor leaving Joey, Serenity and Hank to talk. Joey called Seto later and told him “Rene and I are going to spend the night here with dad and we’re just going to talk and get to know each other better.”

Seto had tears in his eyes as he said “Pup you stay as long as you need to, and give Hank and Serenity our love and Joey I love you.” Joey had tears running down his face as he said “Dragon, I love you too Seto and I’ll be home tomorrow and I promise to show you exactly how much I really love you.”

Seto chuckled and he said, “Two can play like that and I guarantee I’ll return the love you give to me to you.”

That evening Joey and Serenity helped their dad fix dinner and as they sat around the table, Serenity bowed her head and she said grace “Thank you God for this delicious food were are about to receive and thank you for bringing my family back to me. Amen.”

Hank and Joey both said “Amen” and they had to wipe away the tears and then they all began to eat. They did the dishes together and then they went into the living room and just talked all night long. When Serenity fell asleep Hank smiled and gently picked her up and carried her and laid her on his bed and covered her up and then he went back to the living room and he said “I guess it’s the sleeper sofa for us tonight son.”

As they began to take off the cushions, Hank said, “The last time this thing was used it tried to eat your Uncle Carl and Aunt Beverly.” Joey nearly fell on the floor as he remembered that time and as they finally got the thing opened and Hank went to get the pillows and blankets, Joey sat down and he thanked God for letting them all have a second chance to become a family again. Hank and Joey lay on the sofa and went to sleep.

In the morning Joey and Hank woke up to the smell of coffee brewing and as they sat up and wiped the sleep from their eyes there stood Serenity in the doorway of the kitchen smiling and she held two steaming cups of coffee. “She asked “Anyone for coffee?”

They got up and walked to the kitchen and each of then took a cup and kissed Serenity on the cheek and said “Thanks.” When they sat down at the table Serenity then asked them “What do you two want for breakfast?”

Hank looked at Joey and then they both laughed and said, “Surprise us.” She laughed and went to the refrigerator and opened it and took out things and fixed then both a huge omelet with toast and she had her favorite breakfast a bowl of Corn Flakes.

After they all did, the dishes Serenity asked, “Can we go get my things from the Manor and bring them back here so I can get my room ready?” Hank looked at Joey, they both smiled, and the Hank asked her “Honey have you thought about what color you want you room to be and what exactly you would like in there?”

Serenity then said, “You mean I can repaint my room and put what I want in there?” Hank went over and sat next to her and he said, “Rene, it’ll be your room and you can decorate it any way you want within reason.”

Serenity then said, “Mom wouldn’t allow me to do anything to my room, she decorated it the way she wanted it.”

Hank smiled at her and he said, “Well this is going to be your room.”

She threw her arms around Hank and said, “I want my room to be a pretty green and I have always wanted a canopy bed and one of those chairs that is hung from the ceiling and have a huge book case and a desk where I can do my homework at with maybe a computer.”

Joey picked up the phone and he called Seto and told him about what Serenity wanted to do with her bedroom.

Seto chuckled and said, “Come back to the Manor and I’ll get on the internet and show her different places where she can get the things for her room and then your dad and Roland can go and pick the things up and we can all go back to the house and help her.”

Joey told his dad and sis what Seto had said and so they climbed into the Hanks van and they drove over to the Manor and Roland let them in and he was smiling and he whispered “Moving day?” Hank laughed and then he said “Moving day and redecorating day all in one.”

Joey and Serenity went to Seto’s den and Seto smiled and he said “Serenity, here is a couple of different web sights that have bedroom furniture and things on them.” She almost knocked Joey down to run over and as she looked at the sights she finally found the bed, dresser, bookcase and desk that she wanted and when she looked up and saw Joey’s expression she then smiled and said “I guess I got carried away.”

Joey and Seto burst out laughing and then she blushed and she said, “Come see what I chose.” Joey really liked everything that she chose and then he added up the cost and he took out his wallet, handed Seto his credit card, and said, “Please will you order all of it and see if we can pick it up today.”

Serenity started crying, she hugged her brother, and after Seto had ordered everything she wanted, he said, “We can pick up everything after five this evening.” She let out a squeal and ran from the room to tell her dad about what she was getting.

Seto then handed Joey back his credit card and he said “I hope that you won’t mind but I ordered the things and put a rush order on everything.” Joey went over and pushed Seto’s chair away from the desk and sat on Seto’s lap and he leaned over and kissed Seto on the lips and then he raised his head he whispered “Thank you and tonight you’re going to get my real thanks when were alone.”

Seto and Joey were very excited and when the door opened neither of them could really move and then they heard Hank chuckled as he said “Just take a few deep breathes and make your bodies relax because your sister is coming back here to thank you both again.”
