Deep Connection

Chapter 2

"I want you to be mine again baby...." I heard the Fetty Wap song Again from my alarm.

I looked at my alarm clock it said 6 o' clock. Good I got up on time. I yawned and stretched my arms. I went downstairs and ran a mile on the treadmill. I then did some situps, pushups and pullups. Once I was finished, I went upstairs and went into Liam's room to wake him up.

"Liam, sweetheart, wake up. You need to get up and get dress. You have your first day of preschool today and I have work." I whispered.

Liam yawned and got up. I took him into the bathroom and gave him a bath. Once that was done I got him dress and ready to go. I then gave him his breakfast, he goes to watch tv. While he was doing that I went to get dress. I got my outfit for the day out, which weren't much just scrubs. I then took a shower, brushed my teeth and put on my makeup. Once that was done I put on my scrubs. I looked in the mirror. I saw a 26 year old, black female and I smiled at her. Soon she will be a successful doctor. I checked the clock it was 7:25. That gave me 5 minutes to eat something.

I had some cereal and made myself a smoothie. When I looked at the clock it was 7:30. I told Liam we had to go. I took his bowl put it into the sink. And got my purse and anything else I needed for work.

I then locked the door and got to the car. I got Liam into the back seat and buckled him up. I then put my stuff in the front seat. I put the key in the ignition and started the car. I turned on the radio and the song Here came on by Alissa Cara. I then pulled out of the driveway. And drove to the school. It is only 10 minutes away and I am making good timing.

I pulled into the school parking lot. I took Liam out and got his small Avengers backpack we walked inside and saw other kids talking to there parents. I then went into the classroom and saw the teacher.

"Hello my name is Kyra Johnson and this is my son Liam Johnson." I said nicely.

"Hi my name is Mrs. Berkley, but the kids call me Mrs. B. Hello Liam, how are you?" she said happily.

"Hi and good." He said quitely.

We laughed at his comment.

"I am going to say a quick goodbye to him and be on my way." I said.

I took Liam outside the classroom in the hallway. And squatted to his level.

"Okay, Liam, mama's got to go, but I will be back to pick you up after work from preschool okay. You be a good boy and have fun. I love you!" I said while hugging him.

"Okay and love you too mama." He said hugging me back.

I then released him and he waved and walked into the classroom. I stood there for a good minute before I left the building.

I got into my car. And sat thinking for a minute. Liam is growing up so fast. It's like he was just born yesterday. Except yesterday, his cheating ass father wasn't there or when I went into labor at all. He promised me when I told him I was pregnant, that he would be with me and Liam 'till the very end. Guess that was a lie. It was my fault for believing Andre anyway. I should've left him, before he left me. Well, that doesn't matter now. The past is the past.

I started the car and headed to work. On my way to work I listened to Drake's Back to Back and Energy. Hopefully work works out well today. Once I got to the Ronald Reagan Medical Center, I went and found parking. I then sat in the car for a minute. 8:30 perfect timing. Here we go it's time to get this over with. I grabbed my purse and made sure I had my phone, wallet, and I.D. 

I walked into the building and went to the front desk. 

"Hello I am Kyra Johnson. I am here to see the chief of the hospital." I said while smiling to her.
