Terminal One

Pushing Through

4th month....
Atlanta, Georgia

Fatima gasped awakening in a cold sweat...

"No..." she murmurs to herself. Looking around frantically noticing Zaddy Bear, Angel Bear and Yonna Bear on the bed but no kids.

"Not again." As she looked around for her phone,

"What the hell?!" She cursed herself not seeing it.

She rummaged through the covers and pillows frantically hearing...

"You good Mamas?!" "No, I'm looking for my phone." She automatically answered to Zaddy Bear.

Seeing as Zac has programmed multiple phrases to help her through the day, it's come to a point where she automatically responds to it without actively noticing that he isn't there.

"Angel..." she murmurs, "ANGEL!!!" She called, getting up from the bed, going into the hallway.

"Yes Mommy!!!" Angel replied.

Fatima looks around. "I know I just heard him..." she murmurs, "ANGEL!" "Yes." "Where are you?!" She asked inquisitively looking around between the hallway and her room.

Angel comes from underneath her bed with his sippy cup, snacks, and her phone...

"Angel, why do you have Mommy's phone?" She asked with a desperate plea.

"Daddy?!?!" "What?" Angel holds up her phone. "DADDY, Mommy." He says again, as Fatima took her phone.

"Good Morning Mamas." "Good Morning", Fatima huffed with relief as she flopped on the bed.

"Give me three." She heard from both Zaddy Bear and Zac at the same time.

They laughed, "I can't with this bear Zac..." she uttered, "Honestly Mamas, I couldn't either. I actually thought it was creepy at first but after getting the kids one, I figured you'd be happy with one too..." he reiterated.

"I am but he's starting to lose your scent and the nightmares have started back.

"Well tell..." "DADDY!!!" "Yes Angel." Fatima picks him up. Pressing the FaceTime button.

Zac accepts, "Yes Angel." He asked with a smile.

Although he called to talk to Fatima, to his surprise Angel answered her phone and they spoke for a good minute. Yet here they are again,

"Ok Angel." Zac said to his son's gibberish speech. "Daddy will make sure you get Hulk hands." He told him considering that was the only thing he could make out.

"THANT YOU!!!" "You're welcome My Guy." He uttered, taking a sigh.

Angel wiggles out of Fatima's arms running off to reign havoc, as usual...

"Now back to you Gorgeous, what's been going on?" He asked sincerely.

Fatima takes a breath, "the nightmares of Anthony and I are back.." she confessed. "Plus I've been having nightmares about rats..."

"RATS!?!?!" "Yes!" She replied back.

Zac stops for a moment, "well the thing with Anthony isn't new to us..." Zac reiterated, "Like you said, my scent is starting to leave Zaddy Bear and now that I've moved from one training to another my schedule is much more demanding so we haven't been able to talk or have "Spicy" time like we used to..."

Tears stream from Fatima's eyes, "I miss you...." She confessed. "And I miss you too but I promise I'm physically ok..." he assured her. "I'm going to come home to you safely and as of right now..." "Zac please don't throw that in the atmosphere.." Fatima begged him.
