Sania started to cry and her head started aching again.

Tina got to the stables and started to look for her parents.

America:  Granny, Dado where are you?

Amy started to call for them and look inside the stables

Here, I am here girl.

America:  Where Granny?  Where here?

Granny:  Here with shiraz, just a minute baby girl.  I will be with you in a sec.

America:  Ok Granny, is Dado with you too?

Granny:  What baby?  Oh here you are.

Granny Kennard emerged with a bucket of feed in her hand.  Granny:  What did you say baby?

America:  Where is Dado?

Granny:  Not sure where he is baby girl.  Look at you, you look lovely, where is your mom?

America:  She coming behind me.  There she is.

Tina approached.

Tina:  Here Mom.  I am here.  How are you and how is dad?

Tina flew into her mothers arms and hugged her really tight and they were joined by America too.  Mr Kennard heard the commotion and came to check for himself.  He saw the family hug and walked over to them and joined in with the family hug.

Tina:  Oh Mom, Dad I missed you so much.  I am sorry that you had to work in the stables today. 

Mr Kennard:  That’s ok darling, we are not completely invalid yet and your mom is still a spring chicken.

They all laughed and hugged together again.

Granny:  Come on enough of that, let’s go home and have something to eat.  The work can wait.

Mr Kennard:  Good idea darling come on, I am parched and need a beer badly.

They left the staples and walked together back to the house, America between her Dado and mom and jumping up and down and leaning on her Dado to give her a lift in the air every few minutes and he was happily obliging.

They got to the house all starved and thirsty.

Granny:  Come on guys let’s sit and eat, the food is ready I just need to heat it up for few minutes.  Oh where is Sania, Tina?

Tina:  She wasn’t feeling too good mom, and she wanted to have a rest before dinner.

Granny:  Oh ok well we can send Amy to call her when the food is hot and ready.
