So after I said goodnight to all my kids this Saturday was finely over I really don't like Saturdays they are always so long and full with problems.

My husband and I always go to sleep early on Sundays. It was 10:30 pm I turn of the light and close my eyes. Then my phone ring. It was my sister Ally. I pretended to not hear it then it ring again

Are you not going to take it what if it was important. My husband said half asleep

Fine I took the phone and walk out of the room I know my sisters call lasted at least one hour

Hey Nora it's my Ally
I could hear a lot of noise in the back ground. I walk down the stairs into the living room

Nora are you there?

Yes Ally I am listening

Okay great. Can I ask you a huge favor?

What now?

Do you remember Oliver?

Ally are you drunk? of course I remember Oliver sometimes I don't think you remember him I have spent more time with him than you

Nora of course I remember my own son

Do you Ally how old is he ?

Hmmm 17 years

No that exactly my point Ally

Okay okay but age is just a number Nora don't overreact. How old is he ?

14 years Ally 14 remember that

Yeah yeah I knew that. But would you do me a favor Nora please?

What is it Ally

Okay listen you remember Oliver he is kind of at the hospital aging

What do you mean kind of?

Okay he is at a hospital right now, so could you maybe go pick him up at take him home with you I will pick him up next week

Where are you Ally?

I am about to play and really important game soon and all this week I have games, interviews and practice. So I can't pick him up this week. Please Nora can you take care of him this one time

Ally it isn't just this one time do you remember when he was 3 and had fall out the window you ask me to pick him up at the hospital because of a game. And when he was 5 and walk into a wall and you had me pick him up because of a game. Or when he was 8 and he got burns because he tried to make him self some food you couldn't come and take care of him because of a game. And how about all the time he broke his legs or arms at an age of 7,9 and 12

Fine fine I get it but please just one more time he need you. Don't you love him?

Of course I love him I love him like a son Ally and you know that. So where is he?

He is at the hospital in France this time. Thank you Nora I have to go now the game starts wish me good luck

Good luck Ally

I hang up the phone

Is Oliver coming? I hear Mason screaming behind me. Shhhh all my other kids said

I look behind me and saw all my kids sitting on the stairs.

Why aren't you guys in bed?

We hear Ally called Is she going to visit us soon? Mathias said

Maybe next week. Now I am flying to France to pick up Oliver

Is he okay? Molly said

I don't think so honey but he will be And remember all of you to be careful with him when he gets here he probably need to rest a lot.

They all nodded. Of course mommy we love him

Now all of you back in bed before I get mad

They run up stairs and into their rooms

I find my laptop to buy fly tickets I leave in 6 hours. I got upstairs ready to pack some stuff.

Where are you going? I had woke him up
