Morgan ended up having to do another tour for hockey which means that we didn't talk. Even though we didn't talk it was like we had a unofficial thing going on.
After moving into my apartment, Morgan had one of his friends buy me a little Havanese dog. He had fluffy brown coat with the cutest brown eyes in the world.
Meet Baylor.
Baylor was I guess my company while Morgan was on his tour. Baylor was 2 months when I got him so he occupied most of my time.
Unfortunately, the university did not pay for any of my food so I had to find a job to pay for my food expenses.
I ended up getting an online license for infant care-taking ad got a job taking care of 8 month year old Tommy.
Tommy's mom worked overnight so I had him from 5pm-8am. It was honestly one of the best jobs because of two things.
One, I loved kids and two, he slept pretty much most of the time so I usually watched TV on my computer lying on my bed next to Tommy's crib.
I didn't talk to Morgan until he came back from his tour. He was awake when I was sleeping and I was awake while he was sleeping. He endured a 3 month tour around Canada doing interviews and press and all of those things. The team was only allowed to use their phones to call immediate family or tweet something that they were suppose to be advertising.
When Morgan came home from his tour, I was scheduled to leave to America.
I wasn't really feeling like going to America especially when we came this close to being together.
It felt like the universe was just giving us all these chances and right when we got so close, it would just rip it away from us. It was like taunting us with the fact that we could never be together. It was giving us hope when really we had none.
I gave Tommy's mother the heads up about me going to America a month before I was scheduled to leave so that she could find another babysitter for him.
After searching, she said that she would do anything to make me stay and watch Tommy.
I ended up telling her that the university was paying for the apartment and all I had to do was ay for my food expenses.
"Paris, how much is your bill?" Ms. Anderson asked.
"Ms. Anderson, I wouldn't expect you to do this."
"You and Tommy have spent so much time together and I could not dare find another care taker for him. I know this is a lot to ask but I would do anything for you to stay and watch my little boy. You see, I think that you could be such a positive role model for Tommy as he grows up in your care and I would really like for you to stay."
"In all honesty, I was not looking forward to leaving Ms. Anderson. I already have no family and it is hard enough for me to drive down their but to be in a completely different country scares me. I adore Tommy with all my heart and I would love to stay and watch him grow up and turn into a perfect little gentleman."
"Oh thank you sweetie. It makes me very happy to know that I picked a fine young lady that adores Tommy just as much as I do."
"Well, it makes me feel privileged to take care of him."
In the next month, Tommy turned one and eventually started chasing after Baylor. Tommy and Baylor had such a good connection with each other. Tommy would run after Baylor and tag him which resulted in Baylor running after Tommy. Whenever Baylor caught Tommy I could hear him let out little giggles of pure happiness.
Tommy's bedtime was at 7:30. After getting him fed and bathed, I would read him a story on my bed and then lay him in the crib next to my bed. Baylor would come strolli9ng into my room and lay on the floor right next to Tommy's bed. I would often see little Tommy's hand reach out for Baylor's ear, and then fall right to sleep.
After Tommy would fall asleep, I would either go out to the living room to eat my dinner, or I would fall asleep in my bed next to Tommy.
This night in particular, I went outside to clean up the living room and then made my way to the kitchen. I was watching TV and a about 10 o'clock I heard a faint knock on my door.
Ms. Anderson was on call tonight so I thought that maybe she was not needed and was sent home and she was coming to pick Tommy up.
As I opened the door a familiar face came into motion.
"What are you doing here?"
