"Who is Carly?" I asked him

"I met Carly at a bar in Tampa... We were coming off a four game winning streak and I had just extended my personal point streak to fifty games.." Patrick said

Lauren started to fuss again and I bounced her and she cried harder.

"Why's she so upset today?"

"Because she doesn't like the thought of having a half brother.." I fired back at him

He put his hands up and walked out of the room.

I noticed Lauren pulling on her ear.

I grabbed my phone and keys and decided to take her to the doctor.

After about a two hour wait, we were finally brought back to a room. She was warm,  wanted to be held, and was crying more than usual.

I told the doctor what was going on and she looked in her ears and sure enough, she had a double ear infection. My poor baby girl.

We went to get the antibiotics and I took her home. It was now around six and she was asleep in her carseat. I carried her inside and Patrick asked, "Where'd you go?"

"To the doctor.... She has a double ear infection.."

Lauren started to wake up and I gave her a quick bath and got her in her pajamas and I fed her the homemade baby food we made and gave her the medicine and she screamed because obviously it doesn't taste good.

"I'll take her so you can eat.." Patrick offered 

I was holding Lauren in my arms on the couch..

Patrick tried to grab her and she latched onto me and started screaming.

He was holding her and I said, "Patrick, she doesn't feel good.. I got her.."

He placed her back in my arms and she calmed down.

"Poor baby.. I'm sorry your ears hurt.." I said kissing her forehead

"Mama.." She cried

"I love you Lauren.." I said

She fell asleep in my arms and I tried to put her in her crib, but she screamed.. She also threw up everywhere.

"PATRICK!" I yelled

"Oh, gross.." He said walking in

"Yeah, just leave.." I said

I first took Lauren's pajamas off and gave her another bath as she was covered in puke. I put her in a towel and I took my clothes off and wrapped myself in a towel as I was full of puke. I laid her in her crib and I cleaned the puke out of the carpet.. After that, I took a very fast shower and went back to find my baby still upset. I picked her up and held her.

"It's okay.. Mommy is here.."

I went to the guest room and I laid in bed with my sick daughter. 

Patrick was calling me..

P: Hey

Me: Hi

P: Is Lauren okay?

Me: She's fine..

P: Good let me know if you need anything..

Me: We're fine...

P: Don't get sick.. We have a big roadie this weekend..

Me: There is no way I'm going.. I have to stay here. Lauren won't be better in a day

P: Can't Allison watch her?
