"Hun the baby's crying!"
My lovely son Geoffrey was now already one year old raising him was a Hasel but nothing we or rather me couldn't handle. My Wife was rather behaving oddly sins the birth , she refuses to look, talk, take care of him not even uttering his name only calling him it, the baby, the child. During the nights when he cries I wake up to calm him down during the day my wife ignores him letting Geoffrey cry till I come home "have you gone nuts ! what were you thinking letting him cry like that" my Wife was ignoring me sitting up on the bed, "I had the Neighbours come over asking ME if Geoffrey was alright, telling ME that MY WIFE should take better care of the baby or they might call the Child Protective services! " I slapped her across the cheeks, no reaction so I grasped her shoulders shaking her "This is not NORMAL! YOUR NOT NORMAL" she looked at me her eyes were dark and her lips ripped her cheeks red from my slaps her hair was a mess resembling a birds nest rather than hair, she was only a shell of the women I once knew "Maybe ... maybe it would be good for him to be taken" she started cackling no signs of her Angelic laughter I once herd . Not bearing the sound I threw a Vase which was placed on the night table add her only missing her by on inch, the Vase shattered the wall behind the bed was wet the water dripping down, Geoffrey started crying maybe being scared by the loud noise, storming out of the room I went to calm him down.
Days lather the ticking of the Clock and the noisy Streat filled the office with sounds, "so your Wife only has to take three pills each day after she eat and shell be better if you do think a higher dosage would be necessary don't mind contacting me"
I Shaked the Docters hands to thank him , we stepped out of his office looking in to my wife's eyes I hold her hands tight "you heard the doctor Love these Pills will help you get better" she only uttered "Wy are you doing this to me?".
The next seven years were actually better than I expected my wife did not smile nor laughed or was her old self again but she did take care of Geoffrey I admit she did not bring him to school or picked him up , but she at least acknowledge him and yes she had to take a higher does of her Pills but she was doing alright, yes she was doing alright.
Until on summer day Geoffrey was 8years old we were enjoying the sun on the portch "Hun could you go refill my pills at the pharmacy and take the child with you it would be a nice trip for him." That day I should have stayed add home because after I came home it was early silent it felt like there was no on there but I remembered that she wanted to take a nap, walking up the stairs to the second floor walking to the bedroom there she was hanging from the sealing a rope curled on her neck there was no note no goodbye, I let myself fall on the floor looking up on her cold body.
"Mommy ?"
