Condition Or Connection

chapter 2

A few Days Later--"Are you done with Ur Shift Ms.Michelle??" Asked my colleague."Yes i was about to leave, do you want me to wait??" i asked her. "No My husband is picking me up today....i was wondering if we should grab a cup of coffee together sometime??" she asked me. "s-sure why not" i replied , hesitantly....gosh- why do i always hesitate when someone asks me to hangout with them. I smiled at her while she smiled back. We greeted each other goodbye...As soon as i was about to leave i heard a voice--A child's voice , calling my name i turned around to see Avery and Mrs.Smith..

"ANNIEE" she screamed while she came towards me. I took Avery in my arms and went over to Mrs.Smith to ask what has happened..."My husband had a- had a-heart attack" Mrs.Smith started crying miserably. I hugged her and decided to stay there with her to keep her company. I told her to eat something but she did not listen to me...i got a bottle of water and calmed her down and asked her to stay strong--the best doctors were already appointed to treat Mr.Smith. After a while Avery fell asleep in my arms. I carried in my arms waiting for Mrs.Smith who went to make a phone call... "Give my child back to me" said a tall guy--brown hair , black eyes , well dressed but with a horrendous behaviour--"Excuse me?? How can u just say she's your child? you got any proof with you?" i asked while keeping avery in my arms tighter than usual--i don't trust people , what if he is lying?? "Who even are you? And why do u have my daughter with you?? Give her to me" The guy said while trying to get Avery from my arms. i took a step back and told him to back off. Who is this creep? is he really her dad...if so , why is he so disrespectful towards everyone. "William thank god you're finally here !!!" Said Mrs. Smith from afar. I looked at her--Is he really the father?? Oh dear god.

"Mrs.Smith? Your husband is alright don't worry he will be fine. He stills needs to be in the hospital for a little while and get treated properly" said a nurse.."Mom please go home and rest for a while , u can come here tomorrow" The guy said to Mrs.Smith. "But the house is very far away and it's very late" Mrs.Smith replied.."I live 3 blocks away if u want u can spend the night with Avery at my apartment" i said to Mrs.Smith , "oh no dear , i wouldn't wanna bother you" she replied. "i would be glad to have u stay with me Mrs. Smith please-" "thank you so much dear" she replied. I told her i'll give her a lift and took her and Avery to my apartment.
