Innocence

25. "He needs me!"

(Gracie Adams)

"Ma'am, you can't go in there." the nurse grabbed my arm before I could walk into the room they took Justin in.

Pattie was already in so she didn't notice this.

"Let me go! He needs me!" I struggled to escape her grip.

"Ma'am, please, he's going to be ok." the nurse reassured and I shook my head.

"You don't underst-"

"Yes, I do. You want to see your boyfriend but unless his mother-"

"Pattie!" I called.

She walked out and her eyebrows rose.

"Why are you out here? Don't you wanna see Justin?" she questioned.

"I would but this bit-woman is holding me back." I glared at the nurse.

"Oh honey, she can come in."

The nurse let me in and I ran to Justin's side.

The doctor came in and shot me a smile.

"I'll let you guys be." he mumbled and I sent him a thankful smile.

"Baby?" I whispered once I heard the door close.

I rubbed my knuckles against his right cheek and he flinched away, thinking I was going to hit him.

I took a step back at the heartbreaking sight in front of me.

"I'm not going to hurt you." I reassured but he just shook his head.

I took a step forward and wiped the tears away from his eyes gently.

"It's going to be ok, boo. No one is going to hurt you anymore, I promise. Gracie's here baby boy, Gracie's here." I whispered the last sentence and grabbed his hand.

He opened his mouth but quickly shut it.

"What, honey?" I questioned.

Sounds escaped his throat as he struggled to find words.

"Gracie!" he suddenly wailed, wrapping his arms around me.

"Oh my poor baby boy." I cried, kissing the top of his head multiple times.

Pattie walked in and smiled at the sight.

"Uhm, I'm gonna leave you two alone." I tried wiggling out of Justin's strong grip but he just shook his head against my stomach.

"It's alright, Gracie. He's not letting go anyway." she chuckled and walked to the other side of Justin's bed.

"Hi baby." she ran her fingers through his hair.

He slowly pulled his head away from my belly and stared at her.

"M-mommy?" he questioned.

"Yes, honey, it's me." she reassured.

He suddenly wrapped his arms around her and started sobbing.

I frowned as I stared at him. He was broken and that hurt me. My poor baby.

"M-mommy, it hurts!" he wailed, choking on his own sobs.

"I know baby, I know." she sighed, continuing to run her fingers through his hair.
