Coming and Going
I don't own House, it belongs to David Shore (Just including the legal issues)
I am a new writer so comments and suggestions would be much appreciated. : )
-House's Moms POV
"Wwoow" he said with a wide grin.
"What?" I answered smiling fondly at him.
"It's so huge" he shouted overly excited.
He was astonished by it, so young then, always full of wonder and innocence.
"It's the ocean" I said calmly
"o-c-ean" he sang.
"Yes, the ocean isn't it beautiful Gregory" I said absorbed in the view.
He ran his hand throw the cool water and poured some into his mouth.
"Belch, this tastes terrible" he mumbled, his face all scrunched up like a raisin.
"That's because its salt water honey, you' re not support to drink it" I giggled
"Why is there salt in it" he complained rubbing his tongue with his sleeve.
"hmm... i don't really know"
Then quietly we continued to watch the sun go down, the sky was an array of colors.
"Its nice here " I said relaxed
He turned-on his back taking everything in the letting his eye lids fall shut.
"Mom I like this place, can we stay here forever?" he whispered sleepily
Suddenly his eyes opened he stared at me intensely looking for an answer in my eyes which to this day leaves me speechless.
So I kissed his chubby cheek and held his hand.
"Come now its almost past your bed time"
He rubbing his eyes tiredly and nodded so I scooped him up into my arms.
Almost instantly he fell asleep,leaning his head on my shoulder, snoring softly.
That was a night I would never forget.
I remember the day we had to leave; Greg was devastated.
"You can do it Greg grow up, be a big boy" His father tried.
"But, don't wanna grow up" he cried tears rolling down his face.
"I don't wanna go I want to stay here forever" he said looking to me for guidance.
"We can't Greg, now go pack" John said sternly
"No!" he screamed running out the door
"Greg get back her" John yelled impatient,
"Let him go John he needs time"
"He has to learn to grow up, you can't always get what you want" he signed
"I know John, but its hard for him he loves it here"
Shortly after I went to the place i knew he'd be. the beach.
"Greg!" I called worried.
I searched the beach frantically, hoping i would find him.
Then in the distance I saw him, hands over his knees staring out into the distance.
Without a word I joined him.
"Mom why do we have to go?" he said quietly
"Because your dad has been sent to Egypt"I answered calmly
"But why do we have to go? Why can't dad just go?" he said with frustration.
"Because you're his son and I'm his wife and he needs his family, he doesn't want to go ether"
"He doesn't? then why's he going?"he asked curiously
"He has to, it's his duty and we have to be strong for your father."
"I guess" he signed
"And I'm sure Egypt will be an adventure, we will see pyramids, ancient artifacts and you can search for mummies"
Greg's eyes brightened "mummies, really?"
"Yes, mummies and treasures just waiting to be discovered" I explained trying to spark is curiosity
Greg pondered on this. "But what about my friends"
"You can write them and I'm sure you'll make some new friends in Egypt"I assured him
Greg continued to think watching the ocean.
Then turned to me calmly "OK, I'll go, but only to find the mummies"
I smiled with a new found confidence that things would get better.
-This is chapter One
-The next one will be about Egypt : )
