Numero 1 One day I was walking through the forest, It was raining cats and dogs and it was very unpleasant and cold. But i had to walk through the forest to arrive to the city where my brother would have a kidney transplant. I wanted to know how long his operation take, so i called my parents to ask them, but unfortunately I didn't have coverage, It bother me a lot but I saw to the forest and when I saw all the trees I remembered that my brother and I used to sow small trees. I was so thristy that I went to the Seven Eleven to buy a bottle of water, but when i slide my credit card in the machine, the credit card was declined, I had to play with cash. I just had to walk 30 minutes to arrive to the hospital and I remembered that I've never gotten along with my father, he has bad temper and if I didn't arrive on time I was sure that he would be angry. When I arrived to the hospital a woman spilled her coffee on my shirt but I told her " It doesn't matter" because I needed to be with my brother, I didn't know where was my brother so I asked a nurse where was he and she was very attentive, when I saw my family I wasn't comfortable because my shirt was very dirty, when I was going to greet my family a doctor told us that my brother was a bleeding, everybody were too sad and I was more because I worked over time and I arrived late. We had to wait to know what had happend with my brother... I invent this history, is a exercise that I'll start to do to practice my English, if are there any mistakes please correct me Also can you tell me: What do these words mean? "Spawn and Make up" Thank you

I believe the expression is "kiss and make up." Its literal sense is a couple kissing and apologizing after a fight. It can be used in a non-romantic setting to imply two people (or groups of people) repairing a relationship after a disagreement. A fictitious example: "America and Norway agree to kiss and make up after President Trump's latest blunder." It's use can imply sarcasm, or even humor, depending on how divisive the disagreement was: "Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton agree to kiss and make up." Properly crafted, it can suggest a subjunctive mood in English, but don't use it in this sense unless you have a lot of experience with the language.
