The Single Mom & The Popstar

Sitting in the waiting room I was shaking as I bit at my nails. I had no idea what happened or why she passed out and that worries me. I just really hope everything is ok. Everything has to be ok.

"Lauren what happened?" Normani asked as she rushed towards me with Jilly right behind her.

I sighed "honestly I'm not sure. Charlie said that she was making lunch and when I went to go check on her I found her passed out." I explained. Normani sighed "do you know if she's ok?" She asked. I shook my head. "No I haven't heard anything yet." I said. Jilly and Normani both nodded as they took their seats next to me.

"Hamilton family."

All three of us stood up and walked over to the doctor. "Yes that's us. Is everything ok?" Jilly asked. The doctor sighed "after running some test we found out that she has an untreated virus that most likely lead to her passing out. We have her on antibiotics to treat it so she should be able to leave in a few days." He told us. We nodded and thanked him before going to visit Andrea.

"Hey mom. How are you feeling?" Jilly asked.

Andrea smiled at us as she picks up Charlie and holds her. "I'm feeling better. I don't feel dizzy anymore." She said. "How long have you been feeling this way?" I asked. Andrea sighed as she ran her fingers through Charlie's hair. "About a week." She told me. "It started on Sunday."

Mine, Jilly and Normani's jaws just dropped when she said that. "You've been feeling this way for a week and you never told us." Jilly scolded. "Why wouldn't you say anything mama?" Normani asked. Andrea shrugged "because I didn't want you guys to worry! I mean Lauren counts on me to take care of Charlene when she's gone and I didn't want to let her down." She cries.

I sighed "I can take care of Charlie if you're not feeling well, that is never a problem for me. I can work from home and watch her while you rest. That's not a problem." I told her. "You should have said something." Andrea nodded "yeah, you're right."
