Healing a broken heart

Dreams

Chapter 79

NORPOV

Seriously how much more shit do I have to go through? First, the babies being born early, Mingus being kidnapped now whatever it's happening now, Sean wouldn't tell just that I needed to get back to Atlanta like now. I had to leave Mingus with Helena while the cops questioned him and Chandler. I raced back to the airport and back to Atlanta. I park the car and run into the hospital. I called Sean to find out what was happening.

"Sean what's going on I'm in the lobby where do I go?"

"Well, it's a bit all over the place well Ella's sedated in her room and James is being looked at in NICU."

"Why is Ella sedated?"

"Just get up to her room. We'll explain later." I go to Ella's room. Sean, Theresa, and mom are there.

"So tell me what happened?"

"Well Ella was blaming herself for Mingus being taken because she sent you two away, well then she started freaking out when James started having problems, she started crying and shit and blaming herself because they were born early. Then they took him off her and she was crying they gave her some kind of sedative don't know what but damn it was fast working."

"So what happened to James? Is he okay? So she's still out of it?"

"He was having trouble breathing but he's okay now. Yeah, she is. Babe, how's Mingus?"

"Tough little son of a bitch. It was fucking Cecelia she took him."

"Are you fucking kidding me? I hope that bitch rots in hell for hurting my grandchild."

"Yeah, I think she will I hope so."

"So what do I do?"

"Check on Ella then go down and see James."

"Okay, mom."

I walk into her room and see her asleep in bed. She looks so peaceful. I seriously don't know what to do anymore I'm being pulled in every direction how am I supposed to look after a constantly sick wife, two premmie babies, a teenage son, and an under one-year-old and a job that's demanding something's got to give. I look at Ella she's so beautiful when she's asleep.

"Hey, babe. What's this sleeping on-the-job business huh? Babe, I need you to wake up. I need you." I kiss her forehead she moves away from me.

"Norman?"

"Yeah, it's me, babe."

"Why aren't you in Orlando looking after Mingus."

"He okay babe. We found him and Chandler, he's safe. It's over."

"So what happened?"

"You don't want to know."

"Yeah, I do it's my fault it happened. If I hadn't sent you and Ming away you wouldn't have gone to Orlando and he and Chandler wouldn't have been taken. So it's on me."

"Did you make Cecelia kidnap our son?"

"She did it?"

"Yeah she had it all planned didn't plan on Helena having Mingus chipped now did she? I hope they throw the book at her, I'm very proud of our son, he kept his head and said something you said helped him, when you said not to cry so you don't give them the satisfaction."

"I'm such a hopeless mom who teaches their kids not to cry, I can't do anything right. I helped make this happen if you hadn't broken up with her and gotten with me then Ming would be all okay and not kidnapped because she lost her shit."
