He hugged her back. "Thank you. I just hope I don't need to take care of you. She does have a chance, doesn't she?"

*Aimee shrugged.*
"She might. Before Uncle Marius sent the ambulance she was going to die, but she pulled through."

*Aimee snuggled closer to him.*
"I hope so." *She looked up at him.* "What'll happen to me if my maman dies? The kids at school say that orphans have to live in orphanages."

*She grinned.*
"All the girls in my class say their older brothers are mean, but I've got the best big brother in the whole world." *She said, smiling. She was happy for the first time today.*
