Chapter 7: Problems

Emily pov

Arriving at the hospital, I bid the receptionist good morning before I continued my way to the elevator to go up to my mother's room. Walking in I saw that she was watching television and was laughing at something that the person said.

"Mom I can see that your enjoying yourself," I said while chuckling.

Taking her eye off the television, she looked at me and smiled. "I don't want to talk about me, I want to talk about you. What happened between you and Mr. handsome last night?" She probed as she sat up in bed.

"It was great we talked and we shared things from our past while we walked to the park that was a block away," I spoke as I took a sat in the chair that was beside her bed.

"Did you tell him about what happened in high school?"

"No mom, I can never ever speak of what happened!" I almost shouted.

"I'm sorry sweetheart I didn't mean to upset you, it's just that I wanted you to tell him before you guys went any further. Who knows what this 'thing' you guys got going on can blossom into."

"No mom am the one who is sorry, I shouldn't have replied in that tone of voice and I don't think this 'thing' that Adam and I have going on will blossom any further, he is just a friend.

Frowning, she looked at me like I was crazy before she replaced the smile with a frown. Beckoning me over, she spoke, "let's watch Passions together."

"Mom didn't that show cancelled like a couple years ago, how did you find it?"

"Well I was scrolling through and saw that they were bringing back old soap operas." Stretching over to where she was, I placed my head on her lap and we watched the soap opera together.

I must say I was happy to be watching it again, it had been years since I last saw it and watching it again allowed me to reminisce about the good old time when I used to watch it in the living room with my mom, like now but instead of being in the living room I was in her hospital room.

When we would watch it, my dad would be in the room, grumbling about we watching soap opera am not paying him any attention we would laugh at him and when it's over we would sit in the kitchen and talked while mom made dinner.

Waking up to the sound of the room door opening, I opened my eyes wide to see that Adam was coming through the door with a bouquet of flowers, looking over to my mom I saw that she was sleeping.

I didn't even know when we had dozed off all I knew that this moment we were watching the television and laughing, and the next we were snoring.

"Hey," he whispered softly, "I didn't know you were asleep I had come by to drop off these," he spoke while lifting up the bouquet of flowers.

"I thought you will be at work?" I questioned.

"I had left early so I could give your mom these."

Thanking him I said, "you didn't have to but it was sweet of you to though."

"Aww," I heard a familiar voice came out, "fine specimen is back and he has brought me flowers." Chuckling at my mom words he went over to her and kissed her on the cheek before resting the flowers on the table that was beside her bed.

"Hello Mrs. Martinez I see that your looking very beautiful and well," blushing she nodded her head. Looking at them I almost burst out in laughter.

My mom was behaving like a school girl who had just heard the three magic words from her crush while Adam was trying to contain his laughter.

"Excuse me Mrs. Martinez I came to give you your final check-up before I release you from the hospital." Everyone head turned to the door and we saw the doctor who had informed up about my mom standing in his doctor's shirt and black slacks with black shoes on his feet. He looked around my mother's age with jet black hair with streaks of grey.
