... that Leprechauns are real, the fantasy and magic will disappear. No, ye be free to go." "Thank ye again, Millie." He raised his glass and yelled, "To St. Patrick!". I couldn't refuse, so I joined him once again. As the night went on, we toasted everything Irish, refilling our glasses several times. When the bottle was empty, I yelped, "No more toasts!" Then, I lowered my head onto the bar and passed out. ********** Chapter 9 - An Act Of Kindness ********** "Yo, Millie!" yelled Michael. "You didn't have to stay up all night workin' down here. I'm here to help ye clean up." Without raising my head, I looked over with bleary eyes and a splitting headache and said, "I wasn't workin', I was drinkin'! I caught me a Leprechaun last night." "Sure ye did, Millie. Lots of people find Leprechauns at the bottom of a bottle this time of year. It's eight o'clock. We need to finish cleaning up and get those dishes done. When ye feel like startin' join me in the kitchin'" I heard the squeak of the two swinging bar doors that led into the kitchen. Then a moment later, they squeaked again. Michael yelped, "The kitchen is spotless. Never looked better. Thanks, Millie, fer gettin' it all done." I raised my head and looked over at Michael. "It twern't me, it was the Leprechaun!" "Sure it ...
... was," Michael replied skeptically. I looked down at where my head had been resting, and there, I saw a gold coin. "Catch," I yelled as I flipped it to Michael. "Where'd ye get this, Millie? The markings look very old." "That be Leprechaun gold!" I replied. Michael's cell phone rang and he answered it. "Yes, it is. May 19th, 1968. It did? That's wonderful news, doctor. You too." Michael had a smile on his face as he turned to look at me, "My doctor just called with the latest test results. All traces of my cancer are gone!" I smiled back and cried tears of happiness. I feared this might be my last Saint Patty's day with Michael. Now, I can hope for many more. When I was a wee girl, me mum would tell us that if ye be kind to a Leprechaun, they will reward ye. Michael needed a miracle worker, not a doctor. I believe in my heart that a miracle just happened, and all it took was an act of kindness! ---------- One year later, Michael and Millie had a baby girl. She was born with flaming red hair, and they named her Orla. ********** Author's Notes ********** Show me an act of kindness by leaving a comment! This is a rewrite of one of my first stories, but I have improved since then, and made a number of significant changes to the story. I hope you enjoyed it! Love, Jorunn.
