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
