Freaking Out

--

Seattle, Washington

"Topi, it's almost time to go!" I yelled out to my son, who was walking a crying girl about his age over to her mother. After he dropped her off with the frantic woman, he came running over to me. He stumbled once, and I cringed, but he made it over pretty much unharmed.

"Mommy? Gwandma make dinner?" He asked. His speech was coming along very well, for all that he was only two and a half. I chuckled and nodded, causing him to clap happily. "Gwandma make god food!" He said jumping up and down. I threw back my head and laughed.

"Good food. Grandma makes good food." I told him. He nodded solemnly and tried saying good instead of god. "You ready to go home Topi?" He nodded eagerly, grabbing my hand and starting to pull me. "Hold on a minute. I have to put you in your cart so I can carry these groceries." My son pouted.

"Gwocewies go in cawt. You cawy me!" He demanded, pulling me over to the cart. I set the groceries into the cart and picked him up, just as he told me to. I was wrapped around his pinky. I knew it, and he knew it to. "To home and food! Away!" Topi yelled, putting his arms straight forward. I started to walk, holding him tighter so he wouldn't slip out of my arms.

"You've been watching to much Superman." I told him when he kept his arms like that. We argued for a while about just how much was too much Superman. When I stopped and looked around, I realised that we had wandered pretty far in the wrong direction. I could feel my heartbeat accelerating a little, but I willed myself to be calm. I walked a little, until I came to an intersection, so that I could find out what street we were on. I didnt recognize the name, and my breathing got a little rougher, but once more I willed myself to be calm, inwardly saying that everything would be all right. Of course, Topi was less believing.

"Mommy, are we lost?" He asked, looking around.

"No, baby. I'm just not completely sure where we are. I'll have to find someone and ask how to get home." He looked around again.

"But there's no one to ask." He pointed out. At this point, my heartbeat was out of control. My breathing was ragged and thin. This was exactly what had happened the night of the incident. I looked towards the sun, just in time to see it dip beneath the horizon, drowning my son and I in darkness. Many of the streetlights were burned out, and so the lighting was sporadic. I collapsed to my knees, tears in my eyes, my mind going back to that night. I screamed, releasing Topi to clutch my head, trying to tear away the pain. I screamed again, completely lost. I was vaguely aware of my cell phone being slipped out of my pocket, but that feeling was lost in the more controlling pain, hate, fear. I screamed again, inside my head and outside. And then, everything went black completely and I was aware of falling to the pavement, but after that, there was nothing except my mind. Finally, even that was taken from me.

I woke up to see my mother's worried face above me, tear's running from her blue eyes. One splashed on my face. "Mom, stop crying. You're gonna soak me." I joked feebly. She smiled at my weak joke, taking my hand and squeezing it. "What happened?"

"You collapsed down town. Topi got your cell and called 911." She exclaimed, brushing my unruly fire red hair away from my face. "The doctors said that there was nothing wrong with you. You collapsed only from panic." She wasn't telling me everything, but I didn't really pay attention to it.

"It was exactly what had happened that night. Everything, except this time I had Topi. Where is he?" I asked, looking around the hospital room.

"He's in the waiting room fast asleep. Your father and brother are here too." She told me, watching me with careful eyes as I swung my feet off the bed and stepped down. "The doctor said you could leave as soon as you woke up." I nodded and made my way towards the door, noticing that I was still in my clothes. My mom opened the door and led me down the hallway towards the waiting room. I really didn't need her to lead me, seeing as I knew this place well enough, even though I'd only been here for two years. My brother was in the emergence room a lot for stitches. We made it to the waiting room and I looked around anxiously for my son. When I didn't see him, I started to panic. I know it was senseless, but it was inexcapable.

"Who's child is this?"

I spun around to see a woman holding my son. With a sigh of relief, I walked towards her, saying, "He's mine." She smiled and I was momentarily dazzled. "Thank you so much for finding him." I took him out of her arms and he looked up at me sleepily.

"Hi mommy," He said, wrapping his little arms around my neck, then going back to sleep in my arms.

"It was no problem. I found him wandering in the hallway. It's a wonder no one else had noticed him yet. I'm Esme by the way." She held out her hand and I juggled Topi around so that I could shake it.

"I"m McCay. This little devil is my son Topi." She laughed, and I found that her laugh was as beautiful as the rest of her. "I really am sorry. My dad was supposed to be watching him I think." I glanced back at my dad, who was now being yelled at by my mom for falling asleep.

"It was absolutely no problem," Esme assured.

"Esme! Carlisle is looking for you!" A black haired pixie like girl said, bouncing into the room. Esme nodded, saying goodbye to me, then followed the girl out of the room. I smiled down at my brilliant son, my mind already off of the two odd woman.

"McCay," My mom said, pulling my dad and Jemmy over. "Your father and I have been talking, and we think it's best if we..." She trailed off, looking as if she was unsure how to phrase her words.

"What your mother is trying to say is," Dad took over, "We've decided it may be best if we move out of the city, somewhere quieter." I thought about this for a moment, then nodded.

"I'm tired of the city. Somewhere smaller sounds like heaven. And it would be better to raise Topi out of the city." I said. My parents grinned, knowing that Topi was never far from my thoughts. "Do you have any place in mind?"

"Well...We were thinking Forks. That way we could be closer to your cousin, Jacob." I grinned at the mention of Jacob, and also at the little squeal of joy that my brother made. "In fact, now that we know we have the approval of the two of you, it's a sure thing." Now I wanted to squeal with joy. I hadn't seen my cousin in forever. In fact, I was so excited, that I didn't even notice the storm brewing as we walked towards the car. I'm finally getting my son out of the city. Hallelujah!
