Chapter Three
At the Hospital:
In the room where the young boy was, he was having a nightmare, deep inside his poor tormented mind he was dreaming.
Joey was standing the middle of the living room crying, he was calling out to his mommy, but why didn't she answer him? Where was she? Then all of a sudden his father appeared, he started yelling at Joey, saying, "It's your fault that they died, if you were a better boy, your mommy would be here holding you baby sister."
Joey said, "I'm a good boy, mommy always said that I was why are you talking like that?" Then his father doubled up his fist and punched Joey in the stomach, causing him to fall to his knees gasping for breath. Then his father picked him up by his hair and as he was trying to get his father's had off, he was struck in the face, and he went sailing into the wall.
Joey was knocked out and that's when his father walked off and got a six-pack of beer and sat down on the couch and got roaring drunk. When Joey came to, there was dried blood on his face, his father was passed out from drinking and Joey carefully goy up off the floor and went to his room, he crawled into bed and cried himself to sleep.
When the Nurse came in to check his vitals, she noticed how agitated he was, she picked up the phone and paged the doctor, when Dr. Talbert came in, he too noticed how agitated his patient was and he said, "He's probably having a nightmare, hell I would too if I had been abused as badly as he was.
Then the doctor told her to give the young man a mild sedative, and hopefully it would help him sleep."
At the Manor:
When he left, the room Jeff took out his phone and called the Manor, when Helga answered it, Jeff said, "Tell Roland that the young boy is having nightmares, I've prescribed a mild sedative to help him sleep."
When Helga hung up the phone, Roland was coming out of the bathroom; he had just taken a shower, when he saw the concern on her face, he asked, "What's wrong?"
Helga then said, "Dr. Talbert just called, the young boy has been having nightmares, he's given him a mild sedative to help him sleep, Ro, you've got to get over there early in the morning and help that young boy find his way home."
Roland sat down next to her on the bed, he put his arms around this beautiful woman, and he said, "I will, but right now, my concern is you."
She moved closer to him and as she put her head on his bare chest, she felt his arms enclose around her and tears ran down her face onto his chest and she said, "Some how this bastard has to be found, and made to pay for what he did."
Roland then said, "I was going to tell you in the morning, but I guess now is a good time. Your brothers will be here tomorrow and let's just say that the man will be found and he will learn that abusing a child is a crime, and that he has been found guilty and he will pay for what he did."
Helga raised her head and she smiled up at him and said, "I'm glad that you called Darrell, Steven and Michael, they'll make everything alright again, you know that you've got to let the other children know that their Uncles are coming to stay for awhile."
Roland chuckled and then he said, "I'll do it first thing in the morning, if I know our kids, they'll want to throw a party." She laughed and said, "Well if they do, then that's exactly what we'll do."
He got up and toweled off, got changed, climbed in bed next to her, took her into his arms, and as she settled down beside him, they heard a light knock. Roland got up and when he opened the door, there stood Mokuba, he had tears in his eyes, he said, "I got scared, something's in my room."
Roland picked him up, carried him over, placed him in Helga's arms, and said, "I'll go make sure that no one is in your room." Mokie wiped the tears from his face and said, "Thanks daddy."
As Roland walked down the hall, Seto opened his bedroom door and Roland said, "Mokie's hearing something in his room." Seto nodded his head and said, "Come on, I'll help chase the boogie monsters away."
Roland put his arm around Seto and as they opened Mokie's bedroom door, what they heard made them got smile, outside his bedroom window, a branch was moving back and forth against the glass.
Roland opened the window and then Seto got out onto the edge of the sill, and as Roland held him, Seto broke off the branch. Then Seto said, "All clear, but you know that Mokie's sleep in-between you and mom tonight don't you?"
As they left the bedroom, Roland chuckled and said, "I know." They as Seto opened his bedroom door, he said, "Goodnight dad, see you and mom in the morning."
When Roland left the room, Helga put her arms around Mokie and softly started to hum the song that she always sang to each of the children when they were scared and ended up in their bedroom. She sang this song:
Jesus loves the little children
All the children of the world
Black and yellow, red and white
They're all precious in His sight
Jesus loves the little children of the world
Whether you're rich or whether you're poor
It matters not to Him
He remembers where you're going
Not where you've been
Jesus loves the little children
All the children of the world
Black and yellow, red and white
They're all precious in His sight
Jesus loves the little children of the world
If your heart is troubled
Don't worry, don't you fret
He knows that you have heard His call
And he won't forget
Jesus loves the little children
All the children of the world
Black and yellow, red and white
They're all precious in His sight
Jesus loves the little children of the world
All around the world tonight
His children rest assured
That He will watch and He will keep us
Safe and secure
Jesus loves the little children
All the children of the world
Black and yellow, red and white
They're all precious in His sight
Jesus loves the little children of the world
Soon Mokie was fast asleep in his mommy's arms, and when Roland got back and walked in, he smiled at the sight there before him, his loving wife holding one of their children in her arms, as they fell asleep. He walked over gave her a kiss and then went to the other side of the bed, crawled in and went to sleep.
Early the next morning, Mokie woke up and at first, he didn't know where he was, but then he heard his daddy's snoring and he knew that he was sleeping between them, and then he remembered the noise in his bedroom.
Mokie then smiled and moved over and gave his daddy a kiss and as Roland opened his eyes, he smiled at his youngest son and Mokie asked, "You no mad at me?" Roland moved his arm and Mokie crawled next to him and Roland said, "I could never be mad at any of my children, now how about if we go get breakfast ready, we'll let mommy sleep in for awhile."
So they quietly got up as not to wake Helga, and went downstairs to the kitchen and as Roland had Mokie sit on the counter, he said, "Now when I say, you put the coffee into this and I'll push the button and we'll see the coffee come out and drip into the urn."
Mokie loved spending time with his daddy and then as he watched the coffee drip, he said, "When you bring home my other brother?" Roland smiled and said, "When he's better, now how about a bowl of cereal for breakfast." Mokie clapped his hands and Roland put him down and he went over to the table sat down and ate the cereal his daddy gave him."
Helga woke up the smell of coffee, and finding that both Mokie and Roland were both gone, she smiled, stretched and said to herself, "Bless that loving man, he's letting me get a little more sleep."
Helga thought about the young boy in the hospital, she got out of bed, got down on her knees, and she prayed, "Dear God, it's me Helga. I really need your help, the young boy in that hospital needs your strength and love to be able to deal with what horrors he's living with. Please send down love and surround him and let him know that's he's a good boy, that he didn't do anything wrong. Amen."
At the Hospital:
Today in the hospital room that Joey was in, while he was sleeping, three Angels appeared. They all smiled down on the sleeping young boy, and then they all held hands and began praying and inside his mind, for the first time, he felt at peace.
There was a smile on his face as he slept, and the Angels knew that God had reached down and touched him and that now he could get some rest without having those horrifying dreams.
