The Other Side Part 2

56.

Melanie's P.O.V
We laid in bed with Jr as he was feeling better and we were getting ready to go home but the nurse still had to show us how to use his pump. I rubbed his head pushing his curls back as he drank his juice box.

"How much longer it's already getting late." Bruno said as he walked back and forth.

"Calm down Bruno they have more sick people then doctors. They will be here as soon as they can. Now sit down, Jr is watching his cartoons." He sat next to Jr eating his leftover chocolate pudding.

A knock came at the door as a nurse came in holding a small box.

"Hi how are we doing today?"

"Good." I said smiling to her.

"How about you Peter?"

"I'm doing good thank you!" Bruno said smiling looking at the tv.

"Not you Peter our son Peter." I said laughing.

"Oh."

"How about we just stick with Jr." the nurse said laughing while taking out the pump. Jr saw and quickly got up crawling closer to me.

"No it's okay baby."

"So this will just turn his liquid medicine into a mist that comes out through the mask. Sometimes it can be difficult because it is kinda loud but they will slowly get use to it." She plugged it in and showed us how to get it ready. "Okay mom and dad I will let you guys put it on him just make sure he inhales as much as he can."

She hands me the mask and Jr starts getting a tight grip on my shirt letting out little cries.

"It's okay baby no."

"Maybe sing him something?" The nurse suggested. "I'm sure coming from a musical background it could help." She shrugged her shoulders to us.

Bruno looked to me as we both tried thinking of something to sing.

"Here let me hold him." Bruno cradles him in his arms "you want to sing the monkey song buddy?" Jr slowly nods his head, Bruno smiled clearing his throat and begins singing. "Today I don't feel like doing anything" Bruno whistles while shaking his head like in the music video making him start to smile. " I just want to lay in my bed.

Don't feel like picking up my phone so leave a message at the tone,

Cuz' today I swear I'm not doing anything, no." Bruno kept singing as he mumbled the words with him and shakes his head too. The nurse slowly passed him the mask and put it to him. He looked scared but Bruno still sang. "It's okay buddy keep singing." The nurse turned it on making a loud noise so Bruno sung louder.

"Today I don't feel like doing anything.

I just wanna lay in my bed,

Don't feel like picking up my phone so leave a message at the tone cuz' today I swear I'm not doing anything.

Wahooo, wahooo, wahoooOooo"

Jr soon got use to it and started to sing louder with Bruno as well making me smile. I looked to the nurse as she laughed and dance along with them. Soon the medicine was all gone and Bruno stood him up on the bed.

"Yay you did it buddy!" He gave him a high five and he started jumping up and down. "Let's sing your favorite part ready?"

"Yea!"

"No I ain't going to comb my hair cuz' I ain't going anywhere,

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, nooooo.

I'll just strut in my birthday suit and let everything hang lose!

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeaaaahhh." When Bruno song that part Jr started moving his hips trying to do it like him in the video making me and the nurse laugh.

"When did you teach him that?"

"He's a natural he got it from is old man!"

"Alright that cutie just made my whole day better, you guys can now go ahead and head home just stop by the front desk to sign off on some paper work and you guys will be good."

"Thank you so much!"

"Alright see you later little guy!" The nurse put her hand out to give him a high five and Jr smile hitting her hand.

After a few minutes we were all packed and finally went home. We went to my parents to pick up the kids and told them everything and how to use his pump when the take care of the kids in the future.

Bruno and my parents were in the living room talking while playing with the kids as I slowly got away going out to their backyard. I sat on the chair swing looking at the sky seeing a few stars and the moon was a crescent.

"Hey?" Bruno's voice came from behind me as the sliding door opened.

"Hey."

"You okay?" He said as he sat next to me. I didn't say anything but lean on him as his arms instantly wrapped around me. "What's wrong?"

"I'm really scared about Jr's future."

"He will be fine Mel we will find the best doctors to help him as much as they can."

"You know what I mean Peter." He took in a deep breath knowing what I was really talking about.

"Melanie,...we just have to help him as much as we can right now until he slowly begins getting his powers." He kissed my head as we continued looking at the moon, I didn't say anything else because I didn't want Bruno to start blaming his self for Jr having to go through this knowing he was just born like this since he changed me and we chose to have a family. I love them all and so happy to be blessed with them but I just wish things didn't have to be this way.
