Chapter 17
"Is his stuff all packed?" Mick asked as he loaded up the car.
"I made sure," Anna said. She turned around as Grandpa wheeled Yugi out. "Ready?" she asked Yugi.
"I don't know," Yugi, answered, "have no idea how this event will go."
"Just don't drop him like you did his puzzle," Grandpa said as Mick came to get Yugi into the car.
"Oh now I can't watch," Anna said as she turned around and covered her eyes.
"You can't watch?" Yugi said, "I have to watch, 'cause he's doing it to me."
"Why do you think I'm not watching?" Anna asked.
"Oh shut up," Mick muttered. "I dropped his puzzle once, and he got it back together."
"It took him a while," Anna said. Mick rolled his eyes and heaved Yugi out of the wheel chair and quickly got him into the car. "There, I didn't drop him."
"Thank God," Anna said as she turned back around. Mick closed the wheelchair and smashed it into the trunk with everything else. "We'll bring him back alive," Anna said as she bent to kiss Grandpa on the cheek. "We'll call you when we get home."
Grandpa nodded as he watched her and his son get into the car. He waved to Yugi, who waved back at him.
Five minutes later they were no longer in sight, and Grandpa hoped that Yugi would have a good time.

After an hour on the rode, Anna asked Mick to pull over. She had glanced back at Yugi every so often during the ride, and noticed that he looked like he needed someone next to him.
She surprised him when she got into the back seat next to him, sitting in the middle seat instead of the one near the door. "I thought you might like some company," she whispered as Mick drove on.
Yugi smiled and nodded with gratitude. He looked out the window for a while, but without realizing it, after about twenty minutes, he fell asleep leaning against him mother.
"I was waiting for this," she whispered. Mick looked through the rearview mirror and smiled at what he saw. Yugi had fallen asleep and his head was against Anna's chest area just underneath her shoulder.
"Does he snore?" Mick asked whispering.
"No," Anna replied, "Unlike you."
"I don't snore," Mick retorted in a loud whisper. Anna giggled and wrapped her arm gently around her son's shoulders.
It took them another two hours to get to their place, and Yugi slept the whole way. He only woke up when Mick shut the car door after he got out.
"Wake up sleepy head," Anna said.
Yugi woke up even more at those words, and noticed how he was sitting and sat up as fast as his body would let him. "Sorry," he mumbled.
Anna laughed, "For what? I was actually hoping you would do that." Yugi looked at her with a confused face. She laughed again, "Never mind, I'd better help your father get the stuff in so he can get you out." She unbuckled her seatbelt and got out of the car. She shut the door and came around to the other side to open him.
As Mick got the wheel chair out of the trunk, Anna said, "Let me start taking some stuff inside, that way you can get Yugi out." Mick nodded and opened the chair.
Mick had parked in such a way so the side where Yugi was sitting in the car was not facing the house. Anna trotted up the steps with her suitcase in hand and unlocked the door. To her surprise when she opened the door, their housekeeper Renee was just getting ready to leave.
"Back all ready?" the sixty-year-old woman asked.
"Yes," Anna said, "And with an extra body."
"What do you mean?" Renee asked.
"We got Yugi to come with us," Anna answered happily.
"You mean your son?" Renee asked. She had seen pictures of the young man from their last trip and was excited to meet him.
"Yes my son," Anna replied, "But he was in an accident."
"Oh my goodness!"
"He's all right, but he's in a wheelchair still, he has a broken shoulder, dislocated knee, and a broken ankle, but I think the ankle is nearly healed."
"Oh the poor boy."
"He seems to be taking it well, he's just very quiet; not that he wasn't quiet in the first place."
"Well lets see him," Renee said as she followed Anna out the front door.
"Did you get him in yet?" Anna asked Mick.
"Yes," Mick answered as he shut the door.
"Well bring him around, Renee wants to see him before she leaves."
Mick glanced at Yugi, who was mouthing, "Who's Renee?"
"Housekeeper," Mick answered in a whispered. "She seen pictures from when we came and saw you, so she already knows what you look like."
"Great," Yugi mumbled as his father wheeled him around the car and into view. When he saw the old woman, she waved at him, and he waved back, just being polite, but he felt like just going back to sleep.
"Something wrong?" Mick asked.
"I want to go back to sleep," Yugi grumbled.
Mick chuckled, "You're going to have to wait until we get you inside and unpacked first."
"I do?" Yugi asked sarcastically, Mick laughed.
"Now aren't you glad I had this ramp out in?" Anna asked as he husband wheeled Yugi up the ramp that was to the side of the stairs.
"Yeah, yeah," Mick grumbled. They got inside and Yugi looked around form his position. "What do you think?"
"You said you had money problems when you first had me," Yugi said, "What did you do, win the lottery?"
Anna laughed, "No, we just went back to school and got better jobs."
"Looks almost like Seto Kaiba's mansion," Yugi said as he looked around.
"I think ours is a little smaller," Anna said, "But I don't think his has an enclosed, heated back porch that's close to a small forest."
"Huh?" Yugi asked.
"I'll show you." She steered his wheelchair to the back of the house. The porch was enclosed, made of mostly glass, but their were a few heating lamps along with an air conditioner/heater. "Sometimes deer and other animals come down from the mountains and run around the yard. It's also a nice place to sit and watch the snow fall."
"Wow," Yugi whispered. "That sounds really neat."
"It's best to watch it at night," Anna added. "That's when most of the animals come out, but not as many in winter sorry to say."
Yugi gave his one shouldered shrug, "The fact that any come around at all amazes me."
Anna smiled, "Good. Well, I guess I'd better take you to your room, you it's on the bottom floor, can't really get you upstairs." Yugi smiled as she turned the wheelchair around and headed towards a hallway.
"Oh Anna," Renee said. "Do you need me to do anything before I leave?"
"No," Anna answered, "But thanks for asking. Thank you for watching the house while we were away."
"Any time," Renee said. "Call me if you need anything."
"I will. Why don't you stay until we're done unloading the car; then Mick can drive you home."
"That would be nice," Renee, said, "I will, thank you."
"It's nothing." Anna turned back to Yugi, "Sorry about that, let me show you your room." She wheeled him down the hall and opened a door. "It's similar to yours at home, but slightly mirrored."
She was right, kind of. The bed was on the opposite side of the room, but the desk was still next to it There was a window that began behind the desk and extended to just behind the bed, which cause a lot of light to come through, making a light almost unnecessary until dark.
"Well," Anna said, "What do you think?"
"You don't need a whole lot of light," Yugi said.
Anna laughed, "No, not in this room."
"Coming through," Mick said as he appeared with Yugi's bag. He set it down and turned around. "Well," he said to Yugi, "What do you want to do?"
Yugi didn't answer right away, but Anna noticed he was having trouble keeping his eyes open, and answered for him, "I think he needs a nap." Yugi nodded.
"I can see," Mick said. They got him into bed and left him to sleep.
