Anastasia's wishes

Chapter 28 -Like Father Like Son-

Nathan's POV

Today is a new beginning. Finally, my separation from my wife ends now. I have my driver to drive me to her house. I can't stop smiling, knowing that I'm going to see my family. When I get to her house. I ring the bell several times. But she's not opening the door.

Is she at the hospital already? But it's 7 AM. She usually goes to the hospital at 8 AM. I come here in the morning so we can go together. I told her that I will pick her up so she doesn't need to drive anymore. Is she avoiding me? I ask my driver to take me to the hospital.

When I arrive, I go straight to the daycare.
"Good morning, Martha," I look for Parker.

"Good morning, Sir," she looks confused.

"I'm here to see Parker," I say.

"Oh, you don't know? Parker is in the ER. He-"
I don't listen to her talk any longer. I run to the ER. When I arrive at the ER, I see red.

"I will move that hand, if I were you, Dr. Lee," I yell.

Anastasia's POV

This is a nightmare. I thought this morning is going to be our regular morning. Parker wakes up earlier. He's been fussy. He won't sit still. He kept moving around. Like something is bothering him. I thought bath time will calm him down so I put him in his baby chair while I prepare his bath. And the worst thing ever happened.

He grabbed a glass near him and smashed it. He cut himself on his leg. There were so many bloods. I tried to bandage him but I knew he's going to need stitches. It broke my heart. I don't know if I should call Nathan. Do I need him? Does Parker need him? I also don't know if I can disturb him. I'm still confused about our situation.

And Dr. Lee is not helping. I know he has feelings for me. But I've been hinting that I'm not interested. My only focus is Parker.

I know Dr. Lee is just trying to calm me down because I've been crying. But I don't want him. Parker keeps crying and crying in my arm. I know he's hurting. My poor baby.

I'm so stress when suddenly I hear Nathan's voice, "I will move that hand, if I were you, Dr. Lee."

I turn around with Parker in my arm, "Nate," and I cry harder. His presence is somehow making me cry harder.

"Ssshh, I'm here baby," he hugs me and Parker.

"Hey, buddy. What happened to your leg?" He asks Parker. Parker is babbling and crying to his father like he is telling his father what happened.

"Oh, I know, buddy, I know. Daddy is here now. Come on," he picks Parker up from my arm.

"Daddy?" Dr. Lee ask. Oh no, I forget about him.

"Yes, I'm Parker's father. I'm also Dr. Davis's husband," Nate challenges him. I know that look. He doens't like Dr. Lee. Well, I don't care. Because right now, I'm only thinking about my boy.

"Husband? I thought you were divorced?" Dr. Lee asks me.

"It was all a misunderstanding. I believe I don't have to explain my family matter to you, right? Besides, Parker needs help now," Nate says and then turns around, ignore the poor guy.

"Does he need stitches, my love?" Nate asks me. I know he's saying my love just to make Dr. Lee jealous.

"Yes. But he won't standstill. He keeps crying and kicking," I have try to coaxed him with his animal stuff. I don't want anybody to hold him down.

"Hold him," Nate gives him to me.

"He doesn't want me to hold him." Parker just keep pushing me when I hold him.

"Trust me. Hold him." So I take Parker from his arm and hold him. And then Nathan hugs me from behind while strokes Parker and talks in low voice to Parker. Parker calms immediately.

"My parents told me. When I was a baby, if I can't stop crying, they will do this and I would calm down," he explains.

Like father like son, huh?

I don't realize when Dr. Lee left us. The next thing I know, Parker gets stitches on. He cried when the doctor tried to stitch him, but Nathan kept talking to calm him down.

When the doctor is done with his work, we decide to go home. I ask my assistant to cancel my appointment and give emergency cases to my colleague. Parker and I will go with Nathan in his car. I come to the hospital with in my neighbor's car because I have to hold Parker.
