"Have a nice day," Mrs. Kvetch said as she walked out the front door.
I sat back in my chair at the counter. The store wasn't very bust today as it was raining heavily today. Amy was at play group until noon. I was going to pick her up after and we would head over to the hospital to get her cough checked out by Carson. She still had that bad cough from a week ago,
Since it was 11:50am I decided to close the shop. I looked the front and back doors and then climbed into my car.
When I got to the school I went right inside to the classroom. Since it was raining outside we picked the kids up inside.
Mrs. Dot was helping Amy put on her jacket when I came up to her.
"Hi Amy, Hi Mrs. Dot," I smiled when I approached them.
"Hi Mommy," Amy coughed.
"Hello Mrs. Logan," Mrs. Dot smiled at me.
"How's your cough?" I asked Amy.
"I don't like it," Amy coughed again.
"I know sweetie, were going to go see Grandpa at the hospital so he can make you all better," I picked her up.
"Ok," she laid her head lazily on my shoulder.
"Thank you," I said to the teacher.
"Your welcome, see you next week Amy," she smiled back at me and then waved to Amy.
I buckled Amy into her car seat and took off to the hospital. I said hello to the ER nurse and she told me just to head down to his office, he was in there.
"Hi Carson," I said walking into his office.
"Hello Lucy, hi Amy," he smiled as Amy ran over to him, "What can I help you two with?"
"Amy has a bad cough," I said sitting down in the chair in front of his desk.
"Well, let's look, shall we?" he said. He lifted Amy up onto his desk.
"Can you cough for me?" Carson asked her.
She nodded her head and coughed. I winced; I hated the sound of her being sick.
"That doesn't sound too good," Carson checked her breathing with his stethoscope.
"Well Amy, it seems that you have bronchitis."
I relaxed. I had bronchitis a lot when I was younger and it wasn't harmful if treated.
"What's that?" Amy asked.
"It's why you're coughing. There are little branches in your lungs called bronchioles and they are blocked," he showed her a picture of lungs.
"Ohhh," she said as if she got what he was talking about, "Do I have to get a needle?"
"Nope, you just get to drink some delicious tasting banana medicine," Carson wrote out the prescription.
"Thanks Carson," I smiled and helped my daughter climb off the desk.
"No problem Lucy, take this to the pharmacy on your way out," he handed me the paper.
"Will do," I smiled. I was about to walk out when Carson put his hand on my shoulder,"
"Seven weeks," he smiled.
"Seven weeks," I grinned and gave him a hug.
"Take care Lucy," Carson kissed my head.
We got Amy's prescription filled and made our way home.
"Mm," she said when she put the syringe of banana medicine in her mouth.
"Is it good?" I asked.
"Yep," she smiled and handed me back the syringe.
"Do you want to watch a movie?" I smiled and she hugged my legs. I ran my fingers through and played with her dark brown hair.
"Ok, can we watch Wall-e?" she smiled bigger then she already once. Recently Wall-e had become both of our favorite movies.
"Sure, we can," I giggled and she ran from the room.
I made some popcorn and went to help her put the DVD in the machine.
Amy went upstairs to go get a blanket for us to use and I went to put the popcorn in a bowl.
" you have your special blanket," I smiled and pulled her next to me on the end of the couch, flipping out the footrest. I guess she went upstairs to get it off her bed. She slept with the blanket every night.
Last Christmas Amy had been telling Wyatt about a blue fuzzy blanket she saw when she and Jiya went Christmas shopping. Wyatt called Emma and asked if she would go get the blanket and pick up a necklace from Tiffany's for me. Emma had gotten me a necklace custom made from there with an 'W', 'A', and 'L'. I wore it every day around my neck. I absolutely love it.
"Ready Mommy?" Amy looked up at me.
"Yep," I smiled and grabbed the remote to press the play button.
Amy and I shared the blanket as she leaned her head on my chest.
I didn't watch the movie much; I just stared down at her and held her against me. Although I did watch the movie when Wall-e used Christmas lights to bring Eve around with him, and when Wall-e had Eve's arm and he shot the security switch, letting the entire group of imperfect robots free.
Once the movie was finished, Amy and I ordered pizza for dinner like we did every second Friday night. I but Amy to bed shortly after eight. She needed as much sleep as she could get to fight away any bacteria in her body.
I went up to my room and read for an hour or so before I pulled out my laptop. I checked my email and was surprised to find one from Wyatt.
Hi love,
I got my flight information earlier today. I'll be arriving at the Washington airport on August 15th at 2pm.
Tell Amy I love her and I can't wait to see her.
As for you, you and I will be having some alone time for about… oh… a week? I'm sure your mom or my parents would love to look after her for a few days after I get back.
I love you Babydoll.
Seven weeks : )
See you soon. I love you,
Wyatt.
I smiled as I read the email. I knew that it would be hard for both Amy and Wyatt to separate for at least one or two weeks after he got back. I smiled again and responded to the email.
Wyatt,
You have no idea how happy I am that you are coming home. Everyone is praying for you and I can't wait to see you again. It's been a very long two years.
Amy is sleeping right now but I will tell her. I went and saw Carson today and found out that she has Bronchitis. Before you freak out and over react like I know you do when she gets sick, she is absolutely fine.
As much as I want to have you again in every single possible way, I don't think that Amy will be letting you out of her sight for at least one or two weeks.
I prefer to look at it was 6 weeks and 6 days, makes the time seem less.
I miss you. I love you. You are always in my heart, thoughts, and prayers.
Be safe,
Lucy.
Ps. She sleeps with that blanket you got her for Christmas last year every night. It's her duvet now. She brought it downstairs when we were watching Wall-e after school.
Pss. I'm wearing your necklace you got me. And one of your white wife beaters and your black boxer briefs. I thought you'd like to know ;)
I giggled as I sent the email and set my laptop on the night stand. I was asleep within minutes. The nights seemed passing slower since we knew of Watt's return.
