Diandra notices how he passed his hand over his head knowing something was bothering him, Before opening the door Diandra ask, Sergeant is something was on your mind?"
"Madam, I don't want to be inquisitive but is the child his son?"
"Yes, he is."
"Thank you, then I will like a contact number please, so I will let you know of any news I receive."
Diandra leaving her phone number then on her way out collected the prescription from Melissa.
Visiting a few stores getting a few pieces of clothes for herself and Champ. Knowing she didn't walk with any clothes.
Seeing a vegetable stall, Diandra stop and get a few vegetables and provisions for soup, knowing he wasn't expecting us until the weekend.
Reaching home she rest the few bags with the vegetable in the kitchen. Taking the few bags and walk up the stairs. Unlocking the door seeing them still asleep.
Diandra rest the bags near Alex dresser and freshen up then return to the kitchen, busying herself fixing the soup.
Returning in the room seeing the time, knowing she have to wake Champ up before he become problematic to sleep tonight.
Gently stroking Alex head only to realize that he had a high temperature.
Getting a basin and take a small hand towel she soak it applying the towel on his forehead.
When his forehead cools down a little, Diandra took out the prescription from her bag and rest it on the bedhead cabinet.
Waking Champ by tickling under his feet, Diandra then take him with her to the kitchen and feed him and eat a little herself.
Seeing how he keep looking around, "Champ, come on let us go and check on your Papa."
"Mummy pretty."
"Yes love, your Papa house is very pretty, Champ like it?"
When he nods, "Champ, your Papa have a very pretty room for his son, and plenty toys for Champ to play with, do want to go and play?"
Hearing him laugh, Diandra hold his hand and slowly walk up the stairs.
Feeling so tired from the travelling from Longfield and now this hustling. Seeing Alex got shot and getting the report was so troubling.
'In all the years I have known Alex, this is the first time I have ever seen him sick, or in such pain.
Though matter what he was going through, he was always in control, except that night before I leave him.
Diandra whispers a word of prayer, "Lord, things has change so much from then to now, our life has change, and now we are together and are having a baby.
Lord this threat in his life will affect the both of us, Lord when You visit my home You said I will have Your protection, so I am asking You to protect my life, my children and Alex.
You didn't kept us all this time when we were separated, and now that we have found happiness together, You will not allow us heartache and pain.
No,, my Lord I will not allow this fear to consume me and weaken me. You said when I am weak then I am strong, Lord in this time I put on Your strength for the sake of my family in Jesus name."
Entering his room once more, then the adjourning room to his seeing the neat bed. Going to the washroom seeing the small toilet bowl and a small tub for him.
Diandra get the bag with his clothes and give him a bath, then as he play she lies down on his bed.
Listening to his laughter, Diandra thought, 'Alex did well having all these toys for him that he bought, and the nice big mat for him to play on.
Keeping an eye on him knowing this place is strange to him, although he never leaves her side. Diandra didn't want to take any chance and fall asleep.
Alex heard their voices in the room, lying quietly enjoying the both of them laughing. Their sweet voice sound like music to his ear.
My family is home with me, it will be just a few more days and they will not leave me again, but right now I must ensure their safety.
Alex gets of the bed seeing the few gift bag fold and resting on top his dresser. Wondering where did it came from? But the throbbing pain on his head was unbearable.
While going to use the washroom, Alex felt this bitterness in his mouth, but then the inside of the injury felt as though needles were piercing it constantly. 'Oh Lord, this is worst than I expected.'
Alex brush his teeth and scrape his tongue, feeling much better, now he will need to get his prescription, and the last of the pain killers finish.
I should call Melissa to buy some food stuff and she will collect the prescription one time.
Peeping inside the room seeing her in a house dress but her eyes were close and my son had on a vest and boxers.
Noticing how pale her face was and she look so tired. When Champ saw him, he rides towards him in the bike to meet him. "Papa, pretty."
"Yes, my son it is very pretty, now come on and let us leave your mummy to sleep." Holding his hand as he ride, and we leave silently.
Holding the bike with his right hand and using his left hand holding Joash hand. Alex descend the stairs slowly.
Feeling his stomach scrape Alex thought, 'If I am hungry then maybe the child is hungry as well.' Wondering what the kitchen have to prepare.
Recalling the day, he boiled eggs, but it doesn't have any now, so what am I going to fix quickly to eat, seeing that my hand is paining so much?'
Entering the kitchen seeing a pot on the stove. Opening it seeing the soup and it smells great.
Taking a soup bowl out of the overhead cupboard, Alex rinse it and full a bowl of soup then sit at the table.
Realizing then that Diandra isn't well right now, but all these dishes inside the cupboard and kitchenette will have to rinse out before Maria and Sam comes by weekend.
And now that Diandra is here, she will want to prepare her meals, because of the child.
