Beeb...beep...beep
Amy was sleeping on a hospital bed, as the doctor. She had a mask on as the doctor checked her. Me and Austin were standing beside her, hoping there would be no big problem, tears slipped from my eyes after Austin went out of the room to talk to the doctor about Amy's condition. The doctor said that Amy can only recover after surgery but till the surgery is not done, we have to be careful cause any small thing can do something example eating, drinking or running, most importantly she should not get tired or exhausted, she has to rest
At night
Me Austin and Amy were sitting on the bed crossed legged
Ally: quickly, quickly drink your medicine.
Amy: no mama, I don't wanna, its bitter
Ally: you're a good girl Amy, you can
Amy: no mama, please
Ally: c'mon
Amy: no-
Austin: okay if Amy drinks then daddy promise he will take you to beach tomorrow.
Amy: also, ice-cream?
Austin: also, ice-cream. And I forgot to tell, I got more of story books for you
He took out the story books from his bedside table, showing it to Amy
Austin: now c'mon quickly drink your medicine
As Amy quickly drank a spoon of medicine
Austin: now. You like stories
Amy: I love stories. Daddy, please tell me the story
He was opening the first page of the story book
Amy; daddy?
Austin: yes
Amy: today promise me when I sleep, you won't go
Ally: Amy
Austin: I promise, I'll stay with you, why don't I sleep with you in your room, okay?
Amy nodded
As they went to Amy's room
The next day
Me and Amy were coloring
Ally: and what color should this be?
Amy: this...orange
Ally: yes
Austin came from his work and sat down next to Amy as I sat on the other couch
Austin: what's making?
Amy: a house
Austin: really. who's
Amy: Amy's, mama's and daddy's
Austin: ...really (wearing his glasses) show me what color is the house.
He was seeing the colorings
Austin: wow. Can I color with you?
Amy: yes daddy
They started coloring as I went to the kitchen
Vanessa: madam, sir likes to eat Chinese?
Ally: Idk (cutting vegetables)
Vanessa: dk? You don't know?
Ally: yes, Idk
Vanessa: but madam, a wife should know what their husband likes and not
Ally: (I stopped) it's not necessary that a wife should know what their husband likes or dislikes and please...
Austin came
Austin: your phone was ringing (handing me my phone)
After my call I saw Amy running as I stopped her
Ally: how many times have I told you, you can't run
Amy: I wanted to show dad my drawing
Ally: okay I'll call dad. You sit,
Austin: what's wrong, Amy's fine?
Ally: she's fine, she just wanted to show you, her drawing.
I was going until
Austin: next time I would prefer, you don't discuss personal matters
What is he thinking
Austin: this is my house and I don't like this
Ally: I know this is your house, you don't need to remind. For me also this is only your house. I'll be careful next time
Austin: I know that you know this is my house. This is just a wicked compromise. That's it
Ally: your right. This is just a wicked compromise. that's it
We stared at each other intensely and went our ways
At night
Austin and Amy were watching a cartoon movie on a laptop in bed. After that it was bedtime and Austin was going to tell a story
Amy: mama, you also come and listen to the story
Ally: ...okay I'm standing here listening
Amy: no mama, please lay next to me, please, please, please. Please
I didn't wanted to do this but I had to
Austin (Pov)
After a long story Amy slept. Ally slept beside her, which I noticed my hand was on her which I removed it quickly and that made ally woke up. She slowly got up and left the room leaving me and Amy to sleep.
The next day
I had a call with mom, I had to lie to her.
I looked at ally with a glare, she was taking Amy's clothes out of her wardrobe
Austin: it was my mom's call
There was an intense silence as she looked at me. I went to her, blocking her way
''I am forced to lie to my mother'' my voice was cold and low
''all because of you. What will I say to her. That my ran away wife came back 4 years later from somewhere. Or should I say this that I also have an innocent daughter, who is sick (I put my hand on the wall to block her) tell me.''
''this is not my problem'' her voice was in anger ''my problem is only, Amy's health. Right when she recovers, we won't live here a foot''
We gave stabbing glares to each other as she left.
The next day
Austin: why don't we tell mom that I called you to go to the zoo. Okay?
Amy: no daddy, we should not lie, it not a good thing
Austin: and who teaches you these good things, your teacher?
Amy: mama
Ally came putting Amy's clothes in her wardrobe. Me and Amy looked at each other than at ally
Amy: mama can we go to zoo?
Ally: no. You can go
Austin: okay, what's wrong, why are you upset with Amy
Ally: ...because Amy is a bad girl, she doesn't listen to mom, always argue
I looked at Amy who was sad
Austin: no, Amy is a good girl, she promised, she'll listen to everyone, right?
She nodded
Austin: say sorry to mama
Amy: sorry
Ally: ...okay. if Amy will listen to mam, then only I will be friend with you
Austin: then you can be friend with Amy. Because Amy promised, right?
She nodded
Austin: good girl
The next day
We went to a place to dinner
Hi Austin
I looked back to see who the voice belonged to
''didn't you needed to go to a workshop?''
''yeah, I couldn't go'' I muttered
''yeah, and I see the reason in front of me. You came back ally. How are you. When did this family reunion happen. It's a shocking thing that I didn't know the big thing. And this must be your daughter''
Ally: yes
''and also, yours''
Gesturing me
Austin: Brooke, I think I'll talk to you later
Brooke: so lucky Austin. Four- five years you didn't get a wife back but also a child
'' watch what you're saying Brooke!''
I made myself calm because of my reaction
''Brooke, I think you should go from here'' I muttered
Austin: if I got angry something bad might come out of my mouth and I don't want that
Brooke: don't worry Austin. I'll go. Bye kid
Amy: bye
