Chapter 19

Emily

It's been a week since Tan-Tan came home from the hospital and almost a month since me and Naomi some what break up. A lot has happened since that day, I don't even know what came in to me why I suggest it but all I know Its for the better.

Things happened so fast, first Tan-Tan's accident then his acting differently around me and I remember how Katie looked at me the same way when she said she's giving up from her treatments and how wounded I felt at that moment. I guess I was over fed up with everything that is happening that's why I kind a broke up with Naomi.

But I didn't mean to hurt her like this and I never expected that it will hurt me much more just thinking that I'm not going to be with her anymore. However I did what I did and I don't want to consider that I made a mistake which literally translates that I made I huge one.

Since Tan-Tan came back from the hospital she was nothing but patient and amazing around me and him. She didn't cross my way just like what I asked her and I appreciate her efforts to give me space. She'll always talk to Tan-Tan after she got home from her work and give time to play with him that makes my nephew so happy. I don't know what connection she and him has but it is really beautiful that I don't want to stand in their way which is why I agreed to Naomi when she asked if she can still visit Ethan after our little separation. That's a little favorable for me because I don't want him to be left alone with Alex because she was the reason in the first place why Tan-Tan is in his condition right now. If she didn't let my boy wonder the streets and not keeping an eye on him this will not happened. I don't know why I still hire her perhaps the agency is not still replying to my request asking for another sitter.

Anyway Naomi tend to create some tension when where in the same room which is rarely because she always visit when I'm not around for "the space" but when times like this she really makes it awkward like one time when I was in the lounge reading a book and Tan-Tan and her where playing with her iPad she slips my nickname which startles me and makes her fully beet red faced. I really don't mind her calling me that again besides I miss her, I miss her scent, her hugs, her kisses. I miss everything about her which made me reackon that this space thing is the stupidest idea I ever come up with.

Today Saturday Tan-Tan has a check up with Rae regarding his cask, I know what Rae will say to him but I want to surprise him, I now this news will bring happiness to him and I'm so excited for my boy.

"ETHAN WEASLEY FITCH" I yelled

"Yes Ma'am?" He answered dangling his little head in his bedroom doorway.

"You need to get ready now, We have an appointment with Rae remember?" eyeing him

"But I don't want to go to the hospital." He whinned

"Yes you are little chick, Come on now."

"Yes Aunt Em." Surrendering

After a whilst he is now ready to go with a little help wearing his right converse we are now ready to go. I helped him to get inside my prius tossing the cruthes in the backseat. Trying to start the ignition was a challenge.

"Crap!" I yelled.

"What happened?" he asked.

"I don't know, we're going to be late if this thing doesn't start." I tried once again but it doesn't get through.

"Oh no!" he said pawing his forehead in a cute way.

"I know."

"Aunt Em…" he said with whimsical tune

"Yep" trying again to start the ignition.

"We can asked—"He started but I cut him

"Oh no no no little chick we are not calling Naom for help." I say now fully frustrated.

"Please?" he said but I didn't answer

"Aunt Em please?" reaching forward then placing his left hand in my chest and putting his right in to his. Me and Katie's gesture.

"Oh okay!" I'm always touched when he does the gesture reminding me very fondly on how I and Katie always pull that off when we were kids.

This is the first time I will text Naomi again since I said sorry. And now I'm so chickened out to do this I don't want her to be disturbed on her very busy schedule.

Are you busy? E

After a few heartbeats the phone rings.

"Emily. What's wrong? What happened? Is everything alright? Where is Ethan?" Naomi rapidly asked.

"Oh." I stupidly answer over whelmed with her concern.

"Emily answer me, is everything alright?"

"Not everything."

"What what happened?" panick is rising to her tone.

"Are you busy?" I said shyly

"Jesus Christ Emily answer me!"

"Shit. No nothing bad happened" I heard a huge exhaile. "It's just—are you busy? Because if you are I might just ask somebody."

"If reading the Half blood prince is the epitome of busyness then I am. But cut the crap out Emily what is it?"

"Well as you know, we have a meeting with Rae in less than 30 minutes today and as we about to leave the flat my car won't start and jammed plus I can't call a taxi with this state." I started my rambling

"Okay I'm on my way." She said in a heartbeat which made me smile.

"Is she going to help us?" Tan-Tan asked disturbing me to my gushiness I smiled and nod.

"YES!" he shouts pumping his little fist in the air.

10 minutes later a white Porsche Carrera is now infront of my flat, remembering the time when I drove the fancy car.

"Hi?" Naomi asked when she walked towards us waiting outside.

"NAYOOOMI! I've miss you." Ethan jumped hug her.

"I miss you too mate." She said hugging him back then looking to my direction "I miss you."

I was stunned I don't know how to react, told you how she makes things awkward but deep inside I know how much her.

"Everyone hop in" she says opening the passenger door for me once again being gentleman-ish

"Naom—"

"I know Emily you don't have to thank me, I love what I do and I want this okay." Naomi cut me off.

"Okay. Let's do this." Tan-Tan at the back cut us both.

Sitting in Rae's office is kind a weird because I was so used on my own and I never really roam around to inspect other physician's office to compare. Naomi,Tan-Tan and me is sitting in her room waiting to give my boy the great news.
