"August stop!" I said covering my mouth , laughing. He kept singing horrible, and off key.

"August you can sing, stop embarrassing yo'self." I said nudging him, he chuckled as he shrugged.

"I gotchu ta smile tho." He said, I looked down as I smiled.

"Yeah.." I trailed off as I played with my straw. I looked back up at him to see him looking around at people as he drunk his drink.

"Aug what's wrong?" I asked, he shrugged.

"Ion I just feel..uneasy." He said looking back at me.

"Oh well..you ready to go?" I asked, he looked at the time.

"Yeah." He said , we got up and threw our stuff away. August waited by the door as I went to go get Drew.

"Drew!" I yelled out by the play area.

He didn't respond. It was really noisy and the kids was super loud so I could understand why. Plus it's hard for me to yell right now so I went closer to the pen.

"Drew!" I called out, he still didn't answer. A few kids came out, I looked at them to see if anyone was Drew but it wasn't.

"Whea' he at?" August asked as he walked up, I shrugged.

"I think he can't hear me." I said.

"Drew!" He said louder.

"Let's look around." I said as we both went separate ways.

I went inside the ball pit.

"Drew! Dreeew!" I said then I felt a kid and I pulled him up.

"Aren't you a bit big to be in the ball pit?" The lil boy asked with a attitude.

"Aren't you a bit small to have a big mouth?" I spat back pushing him back down.

I moved the balls around as I kept looking.

"Drew!!" I said as I looked around.

I looked back behind me and saw August playing with the balls, I threw one at his head.

"You suppose to be looking for Drew!" I said

"I wanna hav fun too. " he mumbled getting out. I shook my head as I got out behind him, looking around.

"Looked everywhere August , I'm worried now." I said running my fingers through my hair.

"Mommy!" I heard a kid scream.

"August August that sounds like Drew!" I said hitting his chest before pacing around, trying to look for him.

I hear the scream again but it sound like it was outside.

"C'mon August!" I yelled , he came out with me as we looked around. I didn't see nothing but a full , quiet parking lot of cars .

"August!! W-where is he?" I asked starting to panic. He rubbed my arm.

"Calm down!" He said as he went back in.

"August they close in 5 minutes, lets just wait til everyone leaves." I insisted, he nodded.

"Aight."

We walked up to the man as he was locking up the building.

"Wait you didn't see another kid in there?" I asked, he shook his head.

"No we double checked ." He said as he walked off after locking it. I turned to August as I covered my face. I started crying as I was panicking.

" August where's my baby??" I asked. He grabbed my hand.

"C'mon." He said as he got me into the passenger seat. I put my hands up to my face as I kept crying.

He got in, cranking up as he put it in gear, pulling out the parking lot.

"Mercedes calm down please." He said as he drove. I couldn't and it was becoming hard to breathe.

"I..can't ...August..my baby.. ..he's all I got !" I wheezed as I tried to catch my breathe. My side was starting to hurt where I got my surgery.

"A-August..I can't b-breathe." I wheezed before it went black.

I put Mercedes hair in a ponytail after I put her on her oxygen machine. After a while she woke back up.

"August, where is he? Tell me it was a dream?" She asked as soon as she woked up, I shook my head.

"We gon find him baybeh." I said , she gripped her hair as she close her eyes, letting tears fall.

"Ugh, I can't lose him August. I already lost babies in miscarriages I can't lose the only one I was blessed to have, please." She pleaded, I wrapped my arms around her as she cried against my chest.

I rubbed her hair as I shook my head.

"I know baybeh, I know how you feel." I said low .

It was quiet besides her soft cries and oxygen machine running as I held her .

My phone vibrated in my pants, I got it out .
