Crystal and Devale are back! Working together at Saint Francis Hospital in Memphis, TN.
The two must navigate through their relationship as newlyweds, while they make new friends and as old friends make an appearance.
I stood by Crystal and I's bedroom door and rested my head. Watching her sleep was the most peaceful thing I've experienced in the last almost 24 hours of my life. The hospital was a disaster but a beautiful one. Everyone is still alive and breathing so I guess we did our jobs. But, it never stops, everyday we deal with more and more.
Crystal was holding onto DJ for dear life. They both were snuggled up on my side of the bed. Crystal was wearing my T-shirt and my sweatpants, DJ was holding onto the teddy bear I bought him for his first birthday. I'll be sad the day he grows out of it.
After finally getting tired, I decided to take a shower while they were still sleeping.
Knock. Knock.
I heard knocking before the bathroom door opened.
"Daddy..." Dj said walking in.
I peeked out the shower and saw him tiredly rubbing his eyes.
"I have to potty." He said lifting up the toilet seat.
"Do you need help?" I ask him.
"Nope, I can do it." He said making sure he aimed in the right direction.
I watched as he used the bathroom and flushed the toilet. He pulled up his boxers and pajama pants and went to the sink. He stood on his little stool and starting washing his hands.
"A, B, C, D, E, F, G...." I listened with a smile on my face as he sang his way through washing his hands.
Moments like this really make me happy to be a father. I missed the important moments when Jayla was little and because of Lauren and I'd custodial agreement I'll miss more. But I can be there where it counts.
I finished showering and got out the shower. DJ waited for me. Sitting on the sink, kicking his legs.
"You know you're not supposed to be up there." I said wrapping myself in a towel.
He smiled and shrugged his shoulders. "I'm with you daddy." He said as helped him down.

"Mommy are you up?" He asked jumping on the bed.
Crystal turned around with sleep in her eyes. She looked up at me and smiled.
"Hey baby." She said sitting up. "How was your shift?" She asked me.
"It was good. Everyone was fine when I left. Even baby Bella." I said making her smile.
"That's really great." She said nodding her head. "Are you hungry?" She asked me.
"Hm a little bit but I can cook something." I told her.
DJ got back on the side of my bed as I got dressed for the night.
"What have you been up to little boy?" I ask sitting down on the bed.
