Jamarion Montique POV
Wednesday, March 22nd
1:23 am
Maleek stirs in my arms and my eyes move from his sleeping mother to his huge bright eyes staring up at me.
A small smile plays on his face and I crack one of my own in return. The nurse enters the room and my eyes switch to her.
"He looks so much better" She coos down at Maleek causing him to smile.
She removes the nebulizer from his face and instructs me to allow him to sit up in my lap.
I hold him upright allowing her to do a full check of him. My eyes turn in the direction of his mother once again.
As I watch her steadily breathing as she curls herself up in the seat. She looks so frail and tired.
It frightening how on Saturday night she had such a jovial aroma but a few hours ago when we met again her attitude even then and now is the complete opposite.
It's still shocking and unbelievable that she was living under a bus stop with a baby.
Her house was burnt down about a month ago, so that means she has been living like that for about a month, no wonder why this baby is so sick.
I run a hand over my face in pity. The nurse walks over to where she's sitting up while sleeping and wakes her informing her about Maleek's condition.
He's good once he takes the medication the doctor prescribed he will be good.
"Please take good care of this little one," The nurse says as she pulls on Maleek's cheeks earning a loud belly laugh from him.
Azriel drags her tired self in front of me and stretches for Maleek.
"I will carry him for you" She simply nods her head and steps aside for me to stand.
"You want to see the doctor?" I ask her noticing how she's unable to keep her eyes open and how skinny her body looks.
She shakes her head and I hiss my teeth.
The way she looks, she goodly walk go out a the door and drop dung dead.
I walk her over to the chair that she was just sitting in, before handing her Maleek. I leave them in the room before making my way back out to the front desk where the nurse is.
"I would like the doctor to take a look at the mother please," I tell her as I dig into my pocket, before handing her another $5000 bill.
She nods her head before grabbing her things. I step aside allowing her to walk in front of me.
We walk into the room and Azriel is fast asleep with an active Maleek. Doing all he can to gain his tired mother's attention.
