Alex's POV

"Here Babygirl, this is a nice hat." John says smiling lightly

It's been about 5 months since Phillip found out about my sickness. So him and John do everything in their power to make sure I'm okay and comfortable. This is an adjustment I'm not going to lie to myself and say it isn't. I started loosing my hair couple months ago and me and John both decided that maybe we should shave it off. So I shaved it. Now I'm regretting my impulsive decision cause now I'm bald. So here we are in the mall walking around looking for hats for me to wear. I really just prefer my hoodies, yeah a grown man in hoodies. I'm an actual child at heart. I wouldn't mind beanies. Also with my whole speaking situation I don't know if I'm developing a stutter or it's because I've been overly tired. I'm just tryna live my everyday life like how I used too, like nothing ever happened. I can't even work anymore. My doctors have stated that it is hereditary since my mother died from cancer. So there's that.

"Hey dad. Look at this hat it has an A on it. You could pretend that the A is for Alexander??"

"I- I don't know Pip." I chuckle a little bit

"Okay! Me and George will keep looking."

"Grandpa.." Andy says shyly

"Sí Cariño?"

"Are you okays?" He said whimpering a bit

"Sí Andrès estaré bien pronto."

I picked him up and hugged him. I love my grandson. He's precious and he reminds me so much of Phillip when he was little. I love him so much, I love my family. I couldn't have asked for a better one.

"Can we go to the toy store grandpa pweaseee."

"I don't know honey. I don't think you need more toys. Let's ask dada okay?"

I walk over to where John, Phillip and George were at. They were looking at hats and hoodies in hot topic. I walk to where George was specifically.

"I want to take Andy to the Disney store."

"Nah, pops he doesn't need more toys. He just had a birthday." George declared

"But dadaaaaa."

"I said no bubba now come on. I seen some shirts over here you might like."

"No!"

Then Phillip whipped his head around and walked over to George and I and gave Andrès "the look" he still didn't budge.

"You heard your dad Andy, now let's go.." Phillip said.

"No daddy I don't wanna."

"Excuse me young man?"

We're all huddled up in a circle and John is unaware of what's going on. Phillip gave him one last chance to get his act together before he called over John and John and Phillip are the only one that discipline him because me and George are too sweet. Soon john walked over.
