"Daddy! Daddy! Help" screamed the toddler from his bed; he was tangled up in his bed sheets, sweating with fear. "Help! Daddy"

His screams turned to frightened cries, "Daddy, please."


I was asleep in bed when I heard my baby boy screaming, it was faint and I couldn't hear what he was saying. I rubbed the sleep from my eyes and put my glasses on before hurrying to my son's bedroom. When I heard him screaming for help, I imagined the worst and ran toward my son's bedroom.


"Daddy, pleeassse" I heard him whine, I ran towards the bed through the obscurity of darkness and I took him in my arms

"Hush, little baby, I'm here" I said, cuddling him. "It was just a nightmare, I'm here."

"Where is mama?" he asked me, his eyes full of tears "I want mama."

"Hey, buddy, I'm here to protect you from the nightmare, Mommy is asleep, she's resting, right."

"Daddy, I'm gonna be sick" Joshua said, looking at me.

"Oh Baby, I'm gonna take care of you"

"I'm gonna zomit on you, Daddy" he said looking paler and paler.

"Oh no, you won't" I said carrying my 3 year old son to the bathroom.

"I want mama." My little boy whined again.

"Hey buddy, I'm super daddy am I not? I can take care of you as good a mommy."

After the nausea hit him he started to cry, I took him in my arms and caressed his hair, and felt his forehead burning. My little boy wrapped his arms around my neck and rested his head on my shoulder. I went to the sink and wet a wash cloth before putting it to his forehead, hoping to cool him and stop his tears.

"You still wanna zomit?" I asked him, using the same word he used.

"Nope, I don't think so, Daddy… I want mama"

"Baby, I'm not waking her up, but…" he looked up at me, his face inches from mine, and I could see his eyes were getting watery again.

"You're gonna sleep with mommy and daddy but, you won't wake up mommy, she needs to rest, but first I'm gonna give you some medicine."

"Can I take my bear with me?" he asked me and I nodded at him, I couldn't resist to his angelic face, just like his mother. I put him on the ground and he walked to his bedroom on his tiptoe.

I rummaged through the medicine cabinet and found some suitable meds; I joined my son at the doorframe of my bedroom. He entered the room and settled on the bed next to his mom, hugging his bear against his chest.

I poured the liquid medicine onto the little spoon and put it in his mouth, he swallowed the medicine. I got into bed and cuddled next to my son, putting my hand on his forehead checking on his fever. I looked down at him and saw that he was already sleeping. I looked up at my wife who was no longer sleeping and she looked up at me.

"Hey" she whispered.

"Sorry, to have waked you up, Joshua is sick; he wanted you to take care of him."

"Oh, it looks like you did well with him."

"Yup. You needed to rest, you still do!"

"I'm sleeping all day," she whispered back to me pouting.

"I know, but the doctor said bed rest so…"

"So bed rest, I guess," she said to me smiling, that same smile that make me go weak on my knees.

"Yup!"

She made me so happy giving me Joshua and now, she's carrying our second child, a daughter… she gave me heaven; she is my heaven.

THE END
