It was the light in a dark area. "I love you Marissa and my little baby Eric. What's today's date?" "Christmas Day 2007 baby." "Can I call the girls?" He asked concern in his eyes. "Yeah. If you want I can get them and the presents and we can celebrate here." I said inhaling the smell of egg nog. "Can you?" He said his blue eyes wide. "Okay." I said. "Can you leave Eric here with me?" He asked. "Alright." After the girls and I returned he was in tears. "I'm so sorry I ruinned Christmas." "Daddy you can't ruin Christmas. If anything you brought us together daddy. But, you have to get better." Hailie said wiping away her daddy's tears. "Can I have a hug?" And then she gave him one. "Now let's open PRESENTS!" She said in a singing voice. I was a cross the room with Eric showing him the clouds and looking down the street at passing cars. I really couldn't focus with the children in the background or my own child I sat him down. In his present and walked to Marshall. "I need to get out really quick." I said holding his hand. "Okay." "Are you sure baby?" "Yeah. You have to come back though." He said in a scarred way. "I love you." "I love you too." He said kissing me lightly. I walked to my car. I went home and grabbed Eric more clothes and diapers. Then, I stepped into the backyard and breathed in the cold air. I was holding so much in that when I closed my eyes I started crying harder and harder. When I stopped twenty minutes had passed and I wanted to decorate. I got out some letters and put up Welcome home Marshall. I decided to go back to the Hosptial to see him and Eric. When I got back the kids were sleeping on the couches next to him to I laid next to him waking him. "Can I tell you what I know?" "Anything." This whole month of December leading up to this, I don't remember shitt. All I remember is I was not able to get out of bed. I got up to use the bathroom. I was standing there, trying to take a piss, and I fell. I hit the floor hard. I got back up, tried again - and boom, I fell again. And that time I couldn't get up." "That is what I thought." I said scooting up to him more. The first thing I remember is trying to move, and I couldn't. It's like I was paralysed... And I couldn't speak. The doctors told me I'd done the equivalent of four bags of heroin. Baby I was up since you started talking to me about the withdrawal symptoms but, I could actually speak today." "They told me had I not got you here in two hours you'd be chillin' with Proofy." He shifted. "Marshall, I'll help you with detox and losing the extra pounds anything." I said kissing him. "Thank you." He said sleeping on my shoulder.
MERRY CHRISTMAS WITCHES!
