We took Owen to the hospital that night and waited anxiously whilst the
doctors performed tests to see what was wrong with him. After the first lot
of tests they still didn't know what was wrong with him, Owen of course was
continuing to cry and I just wanted to pick him up and hold him tightly in
my arms. Claire sat quietly for most of the night just staring into space,
I hugged her and told her everything would be ok even though I wasn't sure
it would be. I closed my eyes not meaning to fall asleep but I did and in
that time they had got the test results back and knew what was wrong. They
told us he just had a bad case of the flu and that with some small
treatments he should be ok.
Claire and me were both relieved that our little angel was going to be fine, this however did lead into a big argument with my parents. My mum said that we weren't looking after Owen properly and she should stay longer to help us. I was so mad and in the end they decided it would be best if they left that night, so now they're gone and Owen's back home with us, he's fine now but I still worry about him a lot more than before. I have to get up several times a night to go and check on him, to make sure he's still breathing.
Claire: Ian I'm going shopping are you coming?
Yeah sure.
Claire: Well do you want to get Owen dressed then?
Of course.
I pick Owen up out of his cot and give him a big cuddle and kiss, he looks up and me and makes several baby noises. He really does look so cute and sweet. I give him a quick wash then look through the mountains and mountains of clothes that he's got, I can't decide what to put on him. Then the doorbell sounds so I go downstairs to answer it, I'm not dressed and am just in my dressing gown, my hair is a right mess and I need a shave. The postman looks rather shocked as he holds the parcel towards me and asks me to sign a form.
Postman: Sorry did I wake you?
No not at all I was just trying to get this little on ready.
Postman: Ok well here you go. Have a nice day.
You too.
I take the parcel and go back inside closing the door behind me. I put Owen down and look at the parcel, I recognize the writing but can't think who's it is. I open it to find its from Faye, there's a few cute baby outfits inside and a letter addressed to Claire, I don't open that but I decide to put Owen in one of his new outfits. It's a blue pair of dungarees with a small little dog on the front and a posh little blue checked shirt to go with it. He looks so cute in it and I'm pleased Faye sent it.
Claire: Where did that outfit come from? It's so sweet!
A parcel just came from Faye and there's a letter for you.
Claire: Oh right I'll read it later.
I knew Claire wouldn't read it in front of me because of how I reacted when I caught her having that coffee with Lee. I know I really overacted then and told her I don't mind if she sees them all again but I think deep down she's not sure if I really will be ok with it if it happens. I don't really want them back, I know it sounds mean but my life is finally perfect and if getting them back could wreck that then I'm not taking any chances.
We've been down the town for about an hour now and have brought lots of things as usual. I'm having a great time, a lot of fans have run over to see Owen and said how cute he was before asking for our autographs. Didn't real pressured by them at all and was happy to talk to them, some even ran off then came back with some really cute toys for Owen. As we walk on Claire pushing Owen's pram whilst I walk by the side of her with my arm around her I notice Faye and Luna walking towards us, my heart skips a beat and I freeze not really knowing what to do. I'm hoping that they don't notice us even though I do want to say thanks to them I don't know what to say. They look towards us and I think they've seen us but they quickly turn away and hurry off down another street. Even after all I've been thinking about seeing them that really really really hurt me. A small tear falls down my cheek as we walk into Dolce and Gabbana.
