Feeling pressure on my bladder I roll out of bed and head to the bathroom to pee. I let out a loud sigh as my bladder empties. Looking at the clock in my bathroom I see that it is time for me to start my day. I wash my hands and head out into my bedroom to wake Nahla up.
"Nahla baby time to get up" I say while gently shaking her.
After awhile she opens her eyes and stretch. "Morning mommy" she says while rubbing her eyes.
"Morning baby" I respond while rubbing her back.
"Is daddy back yet?" Nahla questions while looking up at me with those beautiful brown eyes.
"No baby not yet" I reply in a calm voice. Tears immediately fill up in her eyes and I pull her into a hug. "We talked about this, just keep praying and daddy will be back before you know it, okay?" She nods her head.
"Now go pick out your outfit for today" Nahla hops off my lap and heads to her room.
Once she is gone I look down at my ring finger and sigh. I miss my baby so much. It has been four months since the accident and Shawn's condition has rarely changed. The swelling in his brain has went down significantly but he still won't wake up.
It was so hard for me to tell Nahla about him. Ever since that night she has been real clingy towards me.
"Mommy I got my outfit" Nahla says while walking in holding her clothes.
"Okay let's get you in the bath" I ran the water for Nahla and made sure she had everything while I went to pick out my outfit.
I settled on some high waisted trousers and a nice dress shirt.
"What the hell" I frustratingly yell because my pants won't fit and I just bought these like two weeks ago. "Fuck it" I say as I throw the pants to the side and settle on a pencil skirt.
"I'm done" I hear Nahla scream. I head to bathroom to dry her off and put her clothes on.
"Don't I look pretty?" Nahla questions while posing for me. I laugh at how cocky a four year old is.
"Yes you do"
"You gotta take a picture for daddy so he can see when he wakes up"
"Alright baby" I go into my phone and go to my camera.
"No mommy I want the flowers" Nahla says while looking at my phone. Knowing that she is referring to snapchat I go to the app. "Okay your ready?" She nods her head and I take the picture.
