The past, the present, and our future

chapter 3

At 6:00 o'clock in the morning Leo walks into his kid's bedroom and wake them up for school. "Oliver Oakley time to get up Oliver you have school today Oakley we're going to the hospital get dressed" he says as he walks out. Oliver and Oakley rushed to get ready and walk into the living room. "Good morning mom" Oliver said. There stood their mom Mariana Diaz Williams a beautiful Mexican woman with long shiny black hair. She was dressed in her dark blue business suit getting ready for work. "Good morning my loves how did you sleep?" she responded. "I slept great mom" Oliver said. "I slept good as well mom" Oakley replied. "Well, that's wonderful" Mariana said. "Breakfast is on the table I need to get to work I will see you when you get back from the doctors and school, I love you guys' bye" she said as she walked out the front door shutting it behind her. "I'm going to go get dressed" Leo said. "OK" the twins said In Sync as they ate their breakfast.

When they got done eating their father came out of his room in black pants and a blue button up shirt "Are you ready to go Oakley?" he asked. "Yeah, might as well be" Oakley responded. "Have fun at school Oliver" Leo said to his son as him and Oakley left to go to the hospital. As we drove to the hospital that was two hours away in our blue ford, I was terrified. Could my cancer be back? Was everything I went through years ago for nothing. could it be just a false alarm I could just have a cold. I am so scared, so I pulled out my coin. This 50-cent coin is something my brother gave to me when we were 8, I play with it when I'm nervous or scared. It's a comfort thing and it works. I decide to listen to music and try to relax on the way.

I must have fallen asleep because when I woke, we were at the hospital, "you ready honey?" Leo asked his daughter. "Yeah dad" Oakley replied. We walked in to get signed in "hello Oakley Williams for a 9:00" Leo said to the receptionist. "Oh yes, we have you sign in just take a set over there" she said pointing at a group of seats in the waiting room. "Ok thank you" Leo replied.  We only had to wait for a little while before I was called back. "Hello mis. Williams how are you today" the nurse asked me. "I'm ok I have been feeling sick the last few days and my parents are worried" I told her. "Ok well we will get some test done and we will find out what's going on" she said.

A few hours later all the test results came in. I was right it is only a cold. As we were leveling the hospital, I turn to my dad "see dad nothing to worried about." "I know baby but better safe than sorry" he said. "Can we go get food?" I asked him. "Sure, baby" he said back. "Have you thought any more about your Quinceanera" he asked. "Yeah, me and Oliver have talked about it we are planning on working together to plan it in the next few weeks." I replied. The two-hour drive back home was boring, but we did stop and get subway so I'm happy. We got back home around 5 and mom and Oliver come running out. "Is it back? Are you going to be, ok? what's happening?" My mom asked. "It's just a cold everything is going to be ok" my dad said. "Well, I'm going to go and lay down I'm tired" I told everyone. "Goodnight Honey, I love you" mom said. "Night," I responded as I walked into the house and down the hall to mine and Oliver's bedroom.
