The dishes clang in the sink as I make a mental list of everything in my head.

1) Every two weeks- an appointment with the doctor for Kennedy's chemotherapy

2) Every day- clean the house and freshen the air for Kennedy

3) Every twelve hours- Kennedy's pills

4) Every five hours- Feed Kennedy fresh fruits

5) Every two hours- make sure there isn't any dust anywhere that she might breathe in

6) Every—

"Are you gonna stay the whole night in the kitchen?"

The plate almost slips from my hand.

I turn my head around to look at Ken who's standing in the doorway of the kitchen, wearing cute little pyjamas. Her bright red hair that falls like a whirl of Autumn leaves tumbles down in curls down till her hips. She looks so tiny. I just want to—

I make a face at her, "You're not wearing your socks."

She looks down at her bare feet before shrugging at me, "I didn't want to."

"Your feet will get cold."

"Then I can put them on you in the middle of the night."

"I'll push you off the bed."

"I'll pull you down with me."

I snort. "Good luck with those noodle arms."

She throws a fork at me.

I had milliseconds to duck before the fork pokes into my eye.

"What the fuck?" I frown.

She gives a smug smile, "I've been practicing on my aim."

"Come here, you little shit." I wipe my hands on the dishtowel and move to hug her.

Squeeze gently. Not tight. She needs to breathe properly.

I wrap my hands around her, making sure not to squeeze tight.

We pull away and I catch an expression on Kennedy's face that I rarely see. Sadness. But that's gone in a blink as she looks up at me and smiles softly.

Did I imagine it?

"How do guys always get so freaking tall?" She asks, trying to stand on her tippy toes to match my height.

She still barely comes above my shoulders. I resist the urge to snort again.

"A lot of estrogen stimulates long bone growth," I explain. "The bones of people with testes continue to grow for several years until their estrogen peaks. So yeah, that's why guys are so fucking tall."
