The call came the next day it was Conrad his voice was quiet and husk

"Belly"

"What's up"
"I'm scared"
"Why"
"Ruby was throwing up blood and she hasn't yet today but I'm scared belly I need you I can't do this alone"

"Traffic is really bad I can't get to you Connie but just keep her hydrated"
"Is it cancer" he asked almost to tears
"No it's not I promise you it isn't that"
"I need you belly"
"Conrad listen to me okay take her to the doctors explain and they will give you advice"

"Okay, I'm sorry bells"
"Conrad beck fisher don't you dare apologise to be you have nothing to apologise for"
"I know but still"

"Stop, where's ruby"
"In my bed"
"Go to her"
"Okay"

"Ruby mummy wants to talk"

"Hey mamma"
"Hey baby daddy told me what happened you okay"
"Yes"
"What happened"
"I was being sick and then me and an saw blood and I can't remember much after that"
"Do you still feel sick"
"Ye"
Next second she was being sick again as Conrad stood the phone up on the side of the bed as he rubbed rubys back in circles as she cried
"Mummy"
"It's okay baby daddy's with you"
"I'm scared"
"I know baby"
I could tell Conrad wanted to cry but he didn't because that's Conrad he wanted to be strong

"Ruby try and go sleep okay daddy is with you he will take care of you try get some sleep" I said as she layed on Conrad chest
"I love you mummy"
"I love you too baby" I ended the call before Conrad could talk and I just broke I cried for what felt like ages
