Almost There

Chapter 30 (The End)

I was at the hospital with Callie. She won't eat and I'm scared I'll lose her. She's all I have left.

"Have they said anything?" Riker asked coming into the waiting room.

"No, they're still doing tests."

"She'll be okay. Ross." Natalia cooed.

"What if she isn't. What if I lose her?"

"You won't Ross I promise." She said kissing my cheek.

Tears flowed down my cheeks.

"Hey, it's okay." Natalia hugged me and tried to calm me down but I couldn't. She's my baby.

"Callie, want to go see mommy?"

"No."

"Come on, she really wants to see you."

"No."

"Callie, I'll take you to get ice cream."

"No."

"I'll buy you a new doll."

"No."

"What do I have to buy to get you to see mommy?"

"Pony!"

"Done, we'll stop by Petsmart on the way home!"

She giggled and we left.

I pulled up to T's house and knocked on the door.

"You again!"

"Shut up!"

"Tabitha isn't here."

"Where is she?"

"I don't know."

"She promised she'd be here."

"Sorry bro."

"I'm not your 'bro'."

"Whatever."

"Look, just have her call me, please."

"Whatever." He closed the door.

"Where is she?"
