Tam fell asleep after he ate and took his medication. Chris went out and sat with Kim.
"You know," Kim said, "I converted from my faith when I had my brush with death because of what I saw."
Chris rubbed her shoulders. Suddenly she turned to him.
"Chris," she asked, "Are you the Best of the Best?"
"To me," Chris said, "You are. Kim you're my salvation. You're the one good thing that I found in a world full of heartache and craziness."
Kim smiled. She was shocked by what Chris said but it was so sweet. She had always been the weaker of people and Chris saw her as his strength.
"I love you," she told Chris.
"You are my world," Chris said, "You have no idea how grateful I am to you for your love and for everything you've done for me."
"I've always been the weakest link," Kim said.
"I don't see you as the weakest link... or the weakest anything for that matter. You're a lot stronger emotionally then you give yourself credit for. Look at how you brought Tam into the world and nearly gave your life for him."
"He's my world," Kim said, "I would do anything for him."
"I feel the same way," Chris said, "I've only known him for 3 weeks but I've loved him ever since I knew about him."
Kim rested her head on Chris's shoulder smiling.
Tam woke up a few hours later. He was feeling better. Chris checked his temperature. It was down to 98.5. He carried him into the kitchen and gave him some slime to play with. Tam's eyes lit up. He LOVED slime.
"Daddy can Hao come over," Tam asked.
"Let me call her mom and check," Chris said.
