Chapter 66 - Through Children's Eyes

                                    

                                          
A/N: Surprise! Bit of a short filler, but here's an insight into what the other kids are thinking about Kirstie's situation. 
                          
Kevin's POV 
                          
Nana and Grandpa were at home with us again. Mum and Dad were at the hospital with Kirstie. I can't wait for Kirstie to come home. I'm the oldest; can't it be me instead of her? I just want to cuddle her and make her feel better, but she has to be in a wheelchair for a while so she can get better. I asked Mum if I could help Kirstie as she gets better and she said I could! 
                          
When we're not in school or at the hospital with Kirstie, basically anytime we're at home without Mum or Dad around, I've seen Mitch be a lot quieter. He probably just misses Kirstie like the rest of us do. He acted the same way the last time she was in hospital for a long time. I try to play with him and pay attention to him, just in case he thinks he's being forgotten. I will not leave one of my siblings behind! I'm the oldest, it's my responsibility.
                          
Avi's POV
                          
I hate that I can't fix her. I want her to be running and giggling again. She's only three. Every other three year old is playing and squealing. Well Mitch isn't, but I think he misses her a lot. Even though he shares a room with Scott now, Kirstie is his twin. Their twin bond can never be broken. Even if they disagree sometimes. 
                          
I'm sure I heard Mum say that Kirstie can come home soon, but she'll need help with everything. She's so small that I could give her a piggyback anywhere and everywhere. She always laughs when she's being carried piggyback. I know I've heard a doctor say that laughter is the best medicine. I'm not entirely sure what that means, but I think it means the more I can get Kirstie laughing, the faster she'll get better. I must do everything I can to get her laughing. Maybe I'll tickle her lots and lots. That always gets her laughing. 
                          
Scott's POV
                          
I remember the last time Kitty was this sick. She was at the hospital before my birthday. She was brave then too. Mummy said the worst bit is over, but Kitty still needs to get better. We have to be gentle with her and help her. I can do that. We promised to look after our baby sister when she was born. I'll be the best big brother ever. I can treat her like a princess! She loves Disney, so I'll make her a Disney princess. Then maybe she'll get faster. She'll be so happy. 
                          
Mitch's POV
                          
I miss Kirstie being at school with me. Our class made cards for her. They all say 'feel better' or 'get well soon', I don't want her to get well soon. I want her to be better now. Kevvy has been playing with me a lot. Mummy and Daddy are never here anymore. They are always with Kirstie. If I want attention, do I have to be poorly? Is that how it works? I don't like being poorly, but I want their attention again. Kevvy, Nana and Grandpa will do for now I guess. 
                          
Matt's POV
                          
Where's my big sister? I want my big sister. Why isshe not home? I want to play with her. Mummy said Kitty is poorly. I want herhome. I miss her. She always plays with me. Daddy is with Kitty as well. Mummyand Daddy spend a lot of time with Kitty. Are they going to bring her home? I wantthem to. Kitty has been poorly for forever. I want everyone together again.Daddy said Kitty needs to get better first. I hope that's soon.
