"Was he good?" Noelle asked her friend as she poured orange juice in cups.
"Dude he's like almost an adult." Her friend laughed. Her son ambled into kitchen. He grabbed his juice and began to gulped it down.
"This mine?" He rubbed his eyes and bit into his breakfast sandwich and walked towards the door.
"Mhm. Okay love you byeee!" She yelled as the door slammed close. "Anyway, did you sleep well?""Dude! So good. No children waking in the middle of the night. No midnight dog walks. I should 'babysit' more often!" Noelle laughed as her friend regaled her on her videogame progress without her kids and husband bugging her.
"Oh always sleeping in the middle of the day. What's wrong with you?' Noelle blinked her eyes open. Her aunt looked into her eyes. Ugh I most have fallen asleep.
"Hi auntie... How are you?" She rubbed her eyes and stood up. She walked to the bathroom. Her aunt followed as she brushed her teeth.
"Could be worse. I could be hung over. Instead of doing something useful with my life." Noelle bit back the urge to roll her eyes. She worked from home as a SQL programmer for a respectable company.
"Maybe. I'm happy with what I do." She smiled at her aunty who sat on the table.
"You know... You're a good girl. Very blessed."
"I know aunty." She said as she poured them each a cup of coffee.
"I know. Just know I love you, anak." Ring ring. Noelle turned to pick her phone up.
"I love you too. Hello?"
"Noelle you gotta come quick. Your aunty Bella is in the hospital." Her mom said hurriedly. "They think her body is shutting down."
"What?" Noelle turned to her aunt. "This isn't funny. She's right he-" She was gone. "I'm on my way." What the hell is going on??
