His Lost Trouble

Chapter 4

"So, who do we have here?" A man with blonde hair and green eyes asked as North walked into his office with a woman and little girl behind him and then Luke right behind them.

"Doc this is Amy and her daughter Iris. I need you to look at Iris, her father," North shook his head and Sean could tell he was close to losing control of his emotions, "possibly made her sick. Sweet Pea here has a hurt throat and head."

"Fever?" Sean asked instantly switching over to professional mode.

"Her father tried giving her a peanut butter sandwich and she's allergic to all nuts," Amy said trying to remain calm. "She didn't eat any but—"

"You are worried about cross contamination?" Sean asked and Amy nodded. "Let's see what we have going on here. Can you open your mouth for me please Sweet Pea?" Iris hid her face into Amy's chest and whimpered.

"Iris Sweetie, let the doctor look at you so he can get you feeling better," Amy cooed as she ran her fingers through her daughter's hair. "Once you feel better, we can go get some food and ice cream."

"Oh that sounds like fun," Sean smiled as he kept looking at Amy and the little girl. "What kind of ice cream do you want?"

"Tooty dough," Iris said muffled into her stuff animals.

"I love chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream," Luke smiled, "that's my favorite kind."

"And what about your friends?" Sean asked as he pointed to her stuff animals. "Who do you have?"

"Teeter and Eeyore," Iris said slowly turning them to face Sean.

"Oh I love Tigger and Eeyore," Sean smiled, "Now can you show me your mouth please? I would really like to make it stop hurting."

"Mommy?" Iris asked and Amy smiled down at her.

"Mommy can get checked out too," Sean smiled. "Would you like me to make sure Mommy is okay?" Iris nodded and Sean chuckled, "Okay, Mommy can you open your mouth and stick your tongue out please?" Amy chuckled and stuck her tongue out.

"You didn't tell me Amy had her tongue pierced," She heard Lucian say to North who just chuckled.

"She has a few tattoos as well," North smirked and Amy rolled her eyes.

"Do you know if she ate anything that her father gave her?" Sean asked seriously. "Anything that could have caused cross contamination to happen?"

"Mommy tummy hur," Iris said holding her stuff animals to her stomach.

"Iris Baby, did you eat anything your father gave you?" Amy asked trying to remain calm but North could tell her anxiety was getting worse.

"No," She shook her head, "He mad I no eat peabut bubber. He say I no eat he mate I no eat. I cry he trow stuffies away. Say I no baby no get stuffies."

"I'm so sorry Baby Girl," Amy said holding her closer to her chest. "I'm so sorry."

"Mommy I member I small byes bread," Iris said crying. "I orry Mommy."

"Oh my sweet miracle, there is no reason to be sorry at all," Amy said blinking back tears. "You did nothing wrong. Mommy is just sorry I made you go with your father."

"I dough bact with him?" Iris asked scared.

"No," Amy shook her head, "You won't ever have to go back with him, I promise, okay?"

"I get new daddy nice me?" Iris asked. "Lots daddies pay wif me and nice me wet me tall Daddy no Faber wub me no be mean me no more? (Lots daddies play with me and be nice to me and let me call Daddy not Father love me not be mean to me anymore)" Its based off how my youngest two children talked with speech impediments when they were toddlers.

Amy froze for a second then smiled softly. She pushed her daughter's hair out of her face, "Maybe one day my sweet miracle who knows. Right now let's just focus on getting you better, okay? Can you let the doctor finish looking at you?"

"Otay Mommy," Iris said turning back to face Sean.

"I have some very yucky medicine that I want you to swallow, okay?" Sean asked as he looked at Iris. "It tastes horrible, but I promise you that it will make your tummy, throat, and head stop hurting. I wish I could make it taste yummy but then it wouldn't work. Can you please take this nasty medicine for me?"

"Otay," Iris said as a few tears came down her face. "I get ice twream afer?"

"I promise," North nodded. "I'll even eat some nasty ice cream with you."

"Is yummy no yuty," Iris shook her head.

"Well I don't like ice cream," North said as he knelt down in front of her, "but if you take the medicine Doc gives you then I'll eat some with you for being such a big brave girl."

"Pomis?" Iris asked and North nodded.

"I promise Sweet Pea," He smiled at her.

Iris turned to Amy and smiled, "I white him Mommy."

"I'm glad Baby Girl," Amy smiled softly as she kissed the back of her daughter's head.

"Oy Doc, when do you—" The door opened as Amy raised her hand to run her fingers through her daughter's hair, "Where the fuck did you get that bracelet?"
