I glanced over at his little body, as he lay on his back, with all these
different tubes coming out of his nose and arm. My poor baby, is all I
kept saying in my head, over and over again. Its all because of his
bronchitis. And it pains me to see him suffer like this, especially with
him being only five.

Chris, the father of my child, has been sitting here beside me, hoping
and praying that we could just take him home, and that everything would
be perfect once more. But things were way less than perfect for Chris an
I, we  aren't even together anymore. We split up when our son, Darrius,
turned two. And now that D is five, we barely see eachother, unless its
his weekend to have him, and that's about it.

This was Chris's weekend and it unfortunately ended with us at the
hospital, but I'm glad the cause was something natural, because if it
wasn't, and my child was hurt, I would have beat Chris's high yellow ass
and he would be sitting in the bed next to Darrius. Except he'd be
labeled a paraplegic.

"Mommy?" I heard the little weak voice call for me and I went to his
bedside, "Yes baby, Mommy's right here, what you need?"

A faint smile spread across his chubby cheeks.
"I just wanted to see your face, I didn't know where you went."  See why
I adore my child? He's soo considerate.

"Aww sweetie, I'm not gonna leave you....oh daddys here too." ha almost
forgot about that nigga.

Chris was already standing so he just came over to the other side of the
bed.

"Hey there, lil man, you feel better?"

"Mmhmm." Was his response

Good I was hoping he'd say that, his breathing sounded a little better
anyway. My thoughts were interrupted by a knock, and the door swinging
open slightly. In peeked the sexy face of a stranger, a doctor, but not
the one we had before, I guess the shifts had changed...

"Hello everyone, my name is Dr. Justin. And I am in charge of the
pediatrics unit of this hospital." He said taking a few steps into the
room and closing the door behind him. Hmm...he's cute. "Darrius is it?"

"Yes, and I'm his mother, my name is Jaye" I replied shaking his hand,
"And this is Chris, D's dad." Chris did the same.

"Well it looks like he's doing much better, the tests show that he's
doing fine, he just has a lot of build up, and congestion, in his
bronchial system. But with the right medications, a little rest, and the
proper care, he should be up and running in no time."

Mmm....I love his voice, it has this sexy southern twang to it, yet it
sounds like he's been livin out here in Cali for a while.

"When can I go home?" Darrius asked.

"As soon as your ready." Replied the young doctor with a smile.

"I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready!!!!
My son squeeked. Mimicking one of his favorite cartoons, Spongebob©

"Well he's back I see!!!" Chris stated. We all shared a laugh.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Not to long after that, once Darrius had got his regular clothes back on
and all his stuff was packed and ready to go, I was going over a list of
all the things I need to make sure I do on a daily basis to help D get
better.
When Dr. Justin asked if he could speak to me, I told him yeah and
excused myself from the room and followed him out into the hallway.

This is the first time I actually got a good look at him, and he is
pretty nice looking, especially for a white dude. Don't get me wrong, I
love men of all shades, but this boy was fine, and he looked to be about
my age too. Hmm...From his curly light brownish/blonde-ish hair, to his
sky blue eyes, and sexy lips, this dude had it goin on....and he seemed
to be smooth with it too...just how I like em...

I just kept smiling and nodding to everything he had to say until...

"And you can run all this by your husband too, you know, just so he
knows the deal"

I see what he's doin, he slid that comment in there on purpose. He
thinks he's slick, I got him though.

" Wait a minute, I'm not married... oooh your talking about Chris, hmm
no, he's my ex, been that way for three years now." I stammered all that
out in one breath. Ok so I kinda overdid it, but I'm cute so it
shouldn't matter.

"Oh so your saying that a fine young thing such as yourself doesn't have
a man?" he was super cheesing when he said that.

".....no." Gosh I was stuck!!!! Here I was thinkin about all the things
I could do to this guy sexually, and he flirts with me and what do I do,
I freeze. Ha go figure. But just as fast as I lost all my sence, I
regained it again, "but how bout I give you my cell phone number, and
you can call me personally, if you think I may  forget anything you just
said" I smiled seductively and made sure to bite my lip a little, all
the while keeping eye contact.

"Oh um....of course....here you go ma." He replied as though I caught
him off guard. As  he handed me his Blackberry so I could put my number
in it. "Call me anytime, like tonite even, I have a strange feeling that
I will forget something..." He smirked as I said that

"Oh really?" he licked his lips, and I swear I had an orgasm.

"Mmhmm." was all I could manage.

"Aight then, it was a pleasure meeting you, I guess I'll be calling you
up later tonite."

"Ok, that would be great, and by the way," I leaned in to whisper in his
ear, "the pleasure was all mine..." Haha got him!!!!

He winked at me and explained that he had to go catch up with another
patient. But before he left he stuck his head back in the room and bid
adieu to my son and his father.

D just smiled and gave him the thumbs up.

Oh yeah, two thumbs way, way up.....
