I Don't Mind Sharing

When Mona and Aden stepped into the breakfast room later that morning all the family members rose to their feet. A thing that has never happened before and so caught both of them off guard in its strangeness.

The downcast looks on their faces were also out of place. In the mornings when she and Aden came down to break their fast, the family table would usually be loud and busy. Even with only five of them, Gracie alone would add half of the energy especially now that she has her dragon.

Mona became immediately agitated by the strange atmosphere. Based on past experiences in her other family if this happened it was always her fault, it was always something she did. Gracie couldn't be contained anymore and slipped from her mother's lab and ran to Aden arms wide tears running down her face. Aden scooped her up and held her in arms, she wrapped her tiny arms around his neck. She placed her face in the crook between his shoulder and neck crying loudly.
