Two days later Casper was officially discharged from the hospital, his mom,anny and friends were there to support him.
"Alright, last check up before you leave," nurse Titi said as she adjusted her glasses, her hair tied in a messy bun.
She did some check up on Casper before allowing him to leave.
"Ok, everything checks out, you're now officially free to go," she said with an angelic smile which showed a set of clean, nicely arranged teeth.
"Thanks nurse Titi for taking care of me," Casper said.
"No need to thank me, I was just doing my job," she responded.
Mrs Margaret and the rest walked in. Immediately, anny saw Casper she jumped at him.
Casper staggered back as he caught her mid air.
"Big brother Casper, I missed you so much,"anny said with a pout.
"I missed you too, anny," Casper said while laughing as he rubbed her hair.
"Anny, get down, your brother hasn't fully recovered," Mrs Margaret reprimanded anny.
"Mom, it's ok, I can carry her, it's not a big deal," Casper said.
"So, champ are you ready to go home?" Henry asked as he put his arms around Casper's shoulders.
"Yeah, I'm," he responded with a light chuckle.
" I can't hear you man, louder. Are you ready to go home," Henry asked again.
Sir yes, sir I'm ready to go home," Casper said while giving a military salute.
"Now, roll out boys," Henry said.
The whole room burst out laughing at Casper's and Henry's antics.
As Casper and the rest stepped out of the hospital, he felt a sense of relief. Finally he was going home.
He had already gotten tired of the hospital, the smell of antiseptic and other chemicals, he longed to be in his torn bed again.
Although the hospital staffs were nice to him, especially nurse Titi, he still missed his comfortable home, and now that he was going back he felt very excited.
"Yo , Casper, you have been smiling from ear to ear, what's up," Joe asked with a curious expression.
"Nothing much, I'm just happy to be going home, and don't get me wrong the hospital food was great, but nothing beats moms culinary skills," Casper said with a small smile.
"Aww, that's nice to hear," Mrs.Margaret said.
"Speaking about food, I'm starving," Cassie said while rubbing her stomach.
"You're just a glutton," Henry said.
"You're going to eat yourself to death one day," Joe said while eyeing Cassie.
"Hey, are you guys calling me fat?" Cassie asked as she glanced between the two.
"Yes we are," they both said with a laugh.
"Don't you know it's rude calling a woman fat?" Cassie said with a fake annoyance.
"Then stop eating too much," Casper said.
Cassie gasped in shock, as she looked at Casper.
"Not you Casper, I can't believe this two has corrupted you," she said.
"But, Cassie isn't fat," anny said while still been held by Casper.
"Thanks, anny, this guys doesn't know anything," she said as she pinched anny little cheeks.
"I'm a queen and they should be happy that I'm lowering my level to talk to them," Cassie said jokingly.
"Indeed you're a queen, queen of foods," Casper said as the crew erupted with laugh.
"Fuck ....,"
"Language dear," Cassie was about to curse when Mrs Margaret spoke.
"Sorry ma'am," Cassie apologized.
"It's okay, just watch what you say around anny," Mrs Margaret said with a smile.
"Yes, ma'am," Cassie responded with a nod.
"Since you guys are talking about food, why don't we stop over at my house, so I can make something for you guys?" Mrs Margaret asked.
"Sure, Mrs Margaret, if you insist, I mean I can't say no to you," Cassie said with a wide grin.
"Glutton," they all said, as they rolled their eyes.
....
"Home sweet home," Casper said as he took deep breaths.
He scanned his home, although it was run down it was still his home. This place held a lot of memories, both good and bad, happy and sad.
"So, what should I make," Mrs Margaret asked the others.
"Anything will be ok," Cassie said.
"Alright, I think I will make Mac and cheese," she said as she made her way towards the kitchen to begin cooking.
"Cassie and Anny come help me out in the kitchen," Mrs Margaret called out, as she washed her hands, and wore an apron and hair bonnet.
"Ok ,mom," Anny said as she bolted to the kitchen.
"Yes, Mrs Margaret," Cassie said as she made her way towards the kitchen.
"First of all wash your hands, then put on the hair bonnet and apron," Mrs Margaret said as she pointed at the spare hair bonnet and apron.
Mrs Margaret began cooking, with Cassie and Anny assisting her in the kitchen.
"Boys, diner is ready," Mrs Margaret said as she dished the food unto a plate.
Nice aroma spread around the house, as they caught a whiff of the aroma their stomach grumbled, as it urged them to hurry up and taste the delicious Mac and cheese.
"Hm, this food smells heavenly," Henry said as he continued sniffing the air.
"Who's the glutton now?" Cassie voice could be heard from the kitchen asking.
The boys made there way to the kitchen to get their food, their mouth was already watering and anticipating the food,their hands twitching as it got ready to take the food, their legs moved fast and soon broke out into a sprint as they made their way to the kitchen.
Getting to the kitchen, they saw Mrs Margaret dishing out the food, with Cassie and Anny by her side having an impatient look on their face.
It was quite clear that they were also dying to have a taste of the food.
After dishing out the food, she served it to the kids who quickly started eating it.
Taking the first spoon, they all closed their eyes as they savoured the taste.
"Mrs Margaret, you're the best," Henry said while the rest nodded in agreement.
"There's no one on earth that is as good as you're at cooking," Joe added.
"Mom's the best," Casper said with a mouth full of Mac and cheese.
"Thanks for the compliment," Mrs Margaret said.
"No fair, I also followed mom to cook, why are you guys not praising me too?" Anny grumbled with a pouted mouth.
"Yeah, I also helped out in the kitchen, why are you guys not praising me too?" Cassie chimed in.
"Yeah, yeah , you guys are also great," Joe said.
"Anny is the best," Casper said as he rubbed her hair.
The little girl let out a giggle, she was clearly enjoying both the praises and the head rub.
