Ricky pov

Once again I was exhausted because I had another long night with John. However today it didn't matter how I felt because there's no way in hell I can afford to take a day off go to school and work. After I explained what happened with Amy to Jack and Grace , Jack's dad agreed to let me leave John at the nursery during school and work hours for half as a normal price because I was a friend of his son's. I woke up and looked at the time. I quickly got John ready for the church nursery . I packed his diaper bag with everything that the nursery ladies would need to look after him for today. John was very fussy this morning . I stopped to calm him down. "You're alright little man" I said to John as I gently swayed him side to side , trying to calm him down. After a little while trying to soothe John I grabbed my school bag and John's diaper bag. Then we headed out for the day . John wouldn't stop crying we were driving to the nursery. "You're alright buddy" I said to John. "Daddy's here" I said to him as I looked up at him can a rear view mirror . When I finally pulled into the church nursery the parking lot I got out of the car and lifted John up out of his car seat and into my arms. I quickly grabbed John's diaper bag out of the car and started walking toward the entrance. "Hello Ricky" one of the Nursery lady that greeted me when I walked in. "Hi John do you want to come play with me?" she asked him as she took him from my arms. As soon as John was away from the comfort of my touch he started to get extremely fussy . I dropped his diaper bag on the floor . Here let me take him for a moment if you don't mind I said to the nursery lady. "Come here buddy" I said to him as I lifted him up out of her arms. He continued fussing. "I know, I know a little man but don't worry you're going to have fun" I said to him. He laid his head down on my shoulder . "Shh you're alright little man" I said to him. "It's okay, it's okay . Daddy will be back soon I promise" I said to him. "But I have to go to school and work first." I said to him. "But don't worry daddy will be back as soon as he can" I said to him. "Alright now it's time for you to go and have some fun." I said to him as I handed him back to the lady that would be taken care of him for the rest of the day. "Daddy loves you" I said to him. "Don't worry Mr Underwood we will take very good care of John."the nursery lady reassured me. "Alright well I have to get to school or I am going to be late" I said to her. "You have my school's number ?" I asked her . "Yes Mr Underwood we have the phone number of your high school" she told me. "Do you have my cell phone number ?" I asked her. "Yes Mr Underwood we have your cell phone number" she said to me. "Alright I'm just making sure" I said . "Don't worry about a thing Mr Underwood, John will be fine"she did the best she could to reassure me once again. "Sorry I'm just worried" I said. "I know you are but don't alright" she said to me. "Alright I will give you guys a call on my lunch break to see how he's doing" I told her. "Alright sounds good we look forward to hearing from you" she said to me before I turned and headed out the door . Once I got out of the building I broke down and cried . I broke my heart to see John is so upset when I dropped him off.

It was almost impossible to concentrate on my classes this morning because I was so worried about John. Thank God it's almost lunch. Soon I will be able to sit down and call the nursery to find out how my son has been. 10 minutes later the bell rang and I run to the cafeteria to grab my lunch. As soon as I sit down to eat I pull out my cell phone to call the church Nursery . The first thing I noticed is that Bella from the park yesterday send me a text. Despite what happened I want to answer her as soon as I can but my first priority is to call the nursery to see how John has been doing . "Hello my name is Ricky underwood" I say once I hear the receptionist greet me. "I'm calling about my son John underwood" I said. "Yes Mr underwood just give me one moment please" she said. "I'm going to put you on the phone with the lady that has been taking care of him all day" she said to me. "Alright no problem" I said a little anxiously. Oh my god I hope my baby boy it's alright I thought to myself as I waited on hold . A moment later the lady that I met with this morning came on the line. "Hello Mr underwood" she said to me in a friendly manner . "Hello how's John doing?" I said getting right to the point. "From the moment you left him with us this morning he hasn't been able to calm down at all"she explained to me. "Actually Ricky I was just trying to get him go down for a nap when you called check in with us"she said. "Oh god I'm so sorry I apologize" I said."No its alright you have nothing to be sorry about Ricky" she said to me. "Its not your fault kids will be kids . I totally get it"she said. "Alright Thanks for being understanding";I told her . "Please call me major problems ?" I asked her. "Alright Mr Underwood I will have a good rest of your day" she said to me. "I guess I'll try to . I'll be back after work to pick him up" I told her before hanging up the phone. When I am finished talking to the nursery lady about John I I replied to the text that Bella sent to me.
