My Angel started to play as I thought about what I should do with all this information.

some dreams come true

"Hey baby" my momma said on the FaceTime call.
I had been on "bed rest" under Aruna's orders. She insisted her and Santiago take care of me and make sure I heal properly. Her dad told her a nurse would do but she frowned her face up saying "I'm a doctor, what we need a nurse for?" She's usually so sweet to everyone but it's like she just doesn't like this girl.
"Hey momma"
"How you feeling? Santiago takin good care of you right?"
"He is. Plus I have a doctor" I smiled thinking of Aruna.
"That's good baby! We'll be to see you tomorrow I just wanted to give a lil heads up."
"Momma.."
"What?"
"A heads up is like a week in advance at latest. Momma you talkin about imma come see you tomorrow."
"Well baby it's the best I could do shit. I'm still coming tomorrow I don't care." She shrugged.
"Lord here come ya daddy" she rolled her eyes.
"I'm on the phone"
"With who?"
"My girlfriend from Bible study let me lone na"
"You lie baby that's my Alaina, Alaina sabes que vendremos a verte mañana ¿verdad? Extraño a mi bebe."
(You know we're coming to see you tomorrow right? I miss my baby)
"Sí papá, lo sé. Eso todavía no significa que todos hayan esperado en el ultímo minuto para decírmelo." I shook my head.
(Yes daddy, I know. That still doesn't make it right that y'all waited last minute to tell me.)
"Sé que sé. pero no entiendes bebé. No me importa" he smiled.
( I know, I know. But you don't understand baby. I don't care.)
"You are a handful-" I was cut off by Aruna walking in the room.
"Baby you wanna watch-"
I dropped the phone waving my hands in a stopping motion.
"What?"
I put my finger to my lips.
"Alaina who is that calling you baby?"
"Imma call you back momma"
Aruna's mouth formed an o as she understood what was happening.
"Well-ok I love you-"
"Love you too momma I gotta go. Te amo mucho papá"
