You looked down a the book, Curious. You waited for her to finish reading before doing anything else.
Sally hummed thinking, reading over the whole 2 page spread on healing powers.
"Dear?" She looked up at you throught her lashes. You raised a bow curious at what she had found out. "You can heal people, small things at first. But gradually grow to heal bigger wombs." She placed a hand under her chin, thinking.
You nodded, holding the pot. "Plants and nature seem to respond to you as well it seems" she mumbled to herself. You Willed the feeling back into your fingers the pot began to grow more flowers this time. Like the old flowers seeds spread. You kept the feeling going and watch as the flowers, grew, bloomed and then started to wilt.
"You have it already dear." She stated looking up at the pot. You smiled over to her. "So, you heal people. That's how you managed to heal my hands." She closed the book, standing and putting it back on the shelf.
She turned to you, "now the real test." She walked over to the front door, putting her shoes on. "Come dear, we are going to go out side." You nodded to her and put your shoes on as well.
It was starting to get dark outside. The fire from the city glowing. Sally walked around the side of the house, you followed her seeing a small sad looking tree. "Try and help the tree a little dear." Sally pointed to the tree.
You got down on your knees Infront of it, placing your hands on the ground. Willing the feeling back, it seemed that you only needed to think about it for it to begin. You closed your eyes, wanting to concentrate on the this tree. It could be a big wonderfull tree with a swing under it for Sally.
You heard Sally gasp behind you "holy fuck." Feeling the ground move you opened your eyes, shocked to see the tree covering you in shade, the trunk nice and thick. It looked really strong.
Sally squeeled in happiness, clapping her hands. You took your hands off the ground looking up at your work. There was one chonky branch, big enough for a swing. You smiled at that, Sally can have a swing. Turning to look at Sally she almost had tears in her eyes.
You got up and hugged her "Thank you Sally." She squeezed you tight. "No thank you dear." She pulled away "me and John have been trying to grow this tree for 5 years." You smiled at her and turned to look at the tree.
"What the fuck?" Was all that was heard behind you and Sally. You turned to see John looking at the tree shocked. Sally ran up to him hugging him. "Our tree John! It's all grown up!" She pointed to it. He smiled small down at his wife. "Could put a swing in it" he stated. Sally nodded enthusiastically.
You smiled at the both, still standing infront of it. "You did this?" John asked looking at you. "Yeah" you said shyly. Sally placed her head on John's shoulder, "they can heal but also plants seem effected by them as well." She said muffled against him.
"That will be handy" John said rubbing small circles on Sally's back.
You all stayed out there, marveling at the tree for a while before heading in and eating some treats John had brought back from the cafe. They were left overs.
"Sally told me you have a karaoke night at the cafe? Its tomorrow night, right?" You asked John sitting on the sofa. "Correct" he said simply.
"They would like to sing there for it tomorrow John. Their voice is lovely by the way!" Sally said setting down a tray with a pot of tea and the treats John brought back on little plates.
"Oh? Can I hear?" John asked grabbing his cup and a plate with a scone on it. You nodded walking over to the kitchen island, grabbing the record player. You out in the Elvis record.
It just so happens to be 'cant help falling in love with you' by Elvis. You cleared your throat before beginning:
" Wise men say
"Only fools rush in"
But I can't help
Falling in love with you "
John started at you in disbelief, looking over to his wife. Seeing her nod at him.
" Shall I stay?
Would it be a sin
If I can't help
Falling in love with you~ "
John stood setting his plate and cup down. Then offered sally a hand to dance. She took it and the couple started to sway as you sang.
" Live a river flows
Surly to the sea
Darling so it goes
Something's are ment to be "
You began to sway on your own watching them to dance together.
" Take my hand
Take my whole life too
For I can't help
Falling in love with you "
Watching them, so in love. Made you begin to miss the feeling of someone else adoring you.
" Like a river flows
Surly to the sea
Darling so it goes
Some things are ment to be~ "
You smiled as John spun Sally, making her giggle.
" Take my hand
Take my whole life too
For I can't help
Falling in love with you~~ "
You finished song lightly. John dipped Sally and kissing her cheek. They both laughed, looking in to each others eyes. Sally turned to you, grinning from ear to ear. "Yeah, you can sing tomorrow." John said still looking at his wife with admiration and love in his eyes.
You clapped your hands excitedly exclaming "I can't wait!" Sally and John pulled away and sat back down. Picking up their cups and taking a sip. You turned to the record player pulling the pin off and closing it shut.
Sitting back down you grabbed a plate with a scone on it. Taking a bite you, it tasted like cheese but not. You haven't had a cheese scone in a while.
"I make the pastrys myself" John stated looking at you. "They are delicious John." You said with your mouth full. Sally giggled, "he is good at baking, just not cooking." He glared at her. "You killed the dog, not me." He defended himself. "You always use that as a defence" Sally laughed.
You all sat there for a while after eating the scones, still sipping your drinks. Sally told John more about your powers and that you knew about her now, he looked shocked knowing that you knew in such a short amount of time. She reassured him, telling him that she trusted you and that you managed to heal her hands in seconds after using them. John just nodded.
"Today has been good dear" Sally turned to you. You nodded in agreement. "It really has, thank you" you looked towards John and smiled, "thank you both." He just nodded to you.
You all sat there talking more and found out John has a little power up his sleeve as well. He can almost read minds. He dulled it down by saying that he mostly guessed what people were thinking by watching there face or body language. Sally shooed him denying that it's that simple.
"Dinner anyone?" Sally said standing up and walking over to the kitchen. "oh yes please!" You said getting up wanting to help her. "Sit dear~" she shooed you. "I'm only putting the soup from yesterday into the microwave." She said grabbing the big pot, scooping some into 3 bowls.
During this John sat at the dinning table, in his usual seat. You sat opposite him again, he nodded when you sat. "you know the order by now" John said leaning back. "They are a fast learner darling~" Sally said turning to the microwave and putting the bowls, full of soup, in to re-heat.
During dinner you were silent, John and Sally just making small talk. Occasionally they would bring you in but your answers were short, just wanting to enjoy dinner. You thought back to the record player. Your gonna be using that a lot till you have the money to buy them a new one.
You finished dinner and offered to wash up again, Sally agreed and begun drying them after you. You hummed a song as you were doing them, Sally joining in slightly. She has such a motherly energy, so comforting to be around.
"I think I'm going to head to bed, get a good night's rest before tomorrow" you said putting the sponge down on the edge of the sink. "Alright dear, rest well dear" Sally said walking over to you, hugging you. This made you smiled and you hugged her back.
"Night" John said sitting in his chair with a new newspaper in hand. You smiled towards him.
You pulled away from Sally saying a small goodnight, then walked up stairs to the spare room. You closed the door behind you. Sighing you walked over to your bed and sat down on the edge, laying back. You stared at the ceiling.
After a while of spacing out you decided to go shower. Nice warm shower before bed is always nice.
After the shower you sat in your bed for a while, looking up at the ceiling. Thinking about things, how lucky you are. How unlucky you are. Leaving (S/n). He's in a better place. Your parents will help him grow in to a good man, a respectable one. You smiled at the thought of him, graduating, falling in love, getting married and Growing old.
And you remembered, tomorrow you get to sing in front of people for the first time in years. It excited you, but also made you a little nervous. What if they didn't like you? What if a fight broke out? You just have to wait and find out.
Tomorrow's gonna be fun~
