What Mom Says

Hello i'm Rider Layne. Weird name I know. I have white hair and bright blue eyes. Im eight years old.
"Come on mom please."
I was sitting at the table eating a snack begging my mom to go watch fireworks at the carnival.
"Hun I know you want to go but we dont have time tonight sweat heart."
My face went droopy.
"Crushing his dreams again Sidney....hey bud what do you want to do.?"
He put his arms around mommy and on her tummy..and his chin on her shoulder.
"I wanted to go to the carnival and watch some fireworks....but mommy said no."
He nodded and came over to me he put his hands on my shoulders while standing behind me.
"Hey bud if you want to go the the fair and watch fireworks...you have to stay with me and listen okay. But i don't think mama can go. So go get changed and we'll work it out."
I nodded and ran off go my bed room.
Going to the carnival is the most thing I love doing. I changed into shorts and a fox brand muscle shirt. I don't have any muscles but mommy said this shirt looks good on me. Its white and has a black fox logo on the back.
And on the front it's plain.
I ran downstairs and mommy was crying.
"Bud grab my phone from my room and call 911 hurry. Just like we practiced."
I ran to go get the phone. I didnt know what was happening. Mama was holding her stomach and crying. She was holding it the same was she usually does. She told me i was gonna be a brother a few months ago.
"Hello 911 whats you emergency.?"
Momma was screaming in the other room.
"My mommy is in pain."
I heard him take a deep breath.
"Okay buddy i have an ambulance coming your way. Your mommys gonna be okay." 
I heard him typing on a key board.
"Whats your name kid."
I took a breath.
"My name is Rider Layne."
He stopped typing.
"How old are you Rider.?" he sounded interested.
"Im eight"
I answered nervously.
"He took a deep breath.
"Well go help you mom im going to hang up now the ambulance is there
Thank you Rider."
..

We ended up in the hospital. I was in the waiting room with dad.
A guy came towards us that wore a long white coat. He talked to my dad and when they were done dad grabbed my hand. We walked into a room with mommy in it. And was in this bed with a gown on.
"Hey hun." she sat up and held  her arms out for a hug. I walked over and gave her one. She looked up at my dad. And then at the doctor..the doctor grabbed my hand and led me out he sat me in a chair beside the door. And went back in leaving the door open a tad.
"Ok so she will not be diliviring for another 2 weeks....also what happened with your stomach and baby was it was the effective sing that you nor your baby will make it threw your pregnancy. Im so sorry for your loss."
My mom looked at him holding her stomach. Is there anyway you can keep him alive.?"
He looked away then back.
"Thats the thing he's already dying. And its killing you with it."
My mom and dad started to cry. I felt bad. Two hours later I was back in the room with dad. He had me on his knee.
The doctor came in. He gave each of them a Piece of paper.
"Oh thank god." my mom covered her mouth and started to cry again.
I read the paper my dad had. It had several different types of medicines on it and the price. Another hour passed.
"Your guys should go. Now since we know the good news you should go release some stress with Rider. He nodded and picked me up.
"Say bye to mommy ..say love you mommy."
I waved.
"Bye mommy I love you."
We walked out to the parking lot.
We got in the car that my dad brought cause we couldnt both be in the ambulance.
We got to the carnival and it was already early sunset. We got tickets and i went on a few rides. I got a bag of cotton candy. And we were just walking around.
"Hey dad?"
He looked down at me but we kept walking.
"Yeah buddy?"
I put my head down.
"Is mommy gonna die daddy?"
He frowned then smiled.
"Mommys gonna be okay."
His phone started ring.
"Hold on buddy stay here okay daddy will be back.
Minutes went by. It felt like hours. The fireworks began. And it was dark. There were still kids running from ride to ride. A guy with black hair. And a white shirt with black sleeves. He was smoking a cigarette. He came towards me
"Hey are you lost"
He was supper tall and skinny.
He crouched down to be my height.
"How old are you anyway...6 ..7..10..?"
I shook my head.
"No im eight and My name is Rider Layne."
"Well Rider Layne where's your parents?"
I shook my shoulders. He picked me up. I pushed away from him

"Your daddy is looking for you he told me to bring you to him."

I didnt know what to do. My mommy told me to yell and fight if i came in contact with a stranger...where's dad...why isn't he here

He picked me up again this time I didn't push away he put his hand on the back of my head and but my head on his shoulder so my nose was in his neck. We got out of the fair gates and we walked down the street. As we got further away from the carnival I realize we're not going to get daddy.  I start to push away from him. 

"let go of me...  Help me please some....!!! "
He put me on the ground and pushed me up against a car and put his hand over my mouth.
"keep quiet or your never gonna see daddy."

He put me in the back seat of the car he had pushed up against.  He got in and we drove off.
