I got out of the room and walked around finding Blaze with Charlie sleeping on the crook of his shoulder. I got close looking at Charlie's sleeping face and Blaze's neck.
I caressed Charlie's curls while passing my thumb on his eyebrow gently, like my grandpa did to me.
"He is really tired" I commented
"He woke up a bit sleepy asked for his mom, I told she was okay and he went back to sleep" Blaze told me
"Must have been a though day for him" I imagined... How could a 5-year-old boy be when he saw that his mother wasn't ok, and he dad all worried must have been terrible.
"Yeah... He keeps on fidgeting in his sleep and mumbling things... "Blaze said a hint of worry crossing his face
"Aren't you dramatizing?" I questioned knowing where he was trying to get with that conversation. My senses were telling me he was afraid that Charlie might have signs of Night Terrors.
Thinking about Blaze's history, I am not surprised he would think about it.
"I am not! He was sobbing in his sleep just a minute ago"
"It's normal Blaze. He had a bad day...we can't be that negative. He needs to clear his mind for his problems at home. He is just a child " I commented
"Problems at home?"
"My cousin thought it was a good idea to not tell anyone about the pregnancy since they were having enough trouble with builds at home"
"What happened?" Blaze asked curiously
"Dennis was fired. Now Julia is working in double shifts that's why she almost lost the baby due to extreme effort. They had recent renovations and now another baby is making their tight budget...tighter-"
"If the problem is money I can give them-" he tried to say
"Yeah don't think that idea crossed my mind... Because it did, Julia has a hard time accepting help not only money help but all kind of help... She is quite like her mother in that perspective" I realized
"What does Dennis work in?" He questioned curiously making me realize why that questioned popped up
"You are not thinking what I think you are...right?" I questioned making him shrug his shoulders
"What do you think that I am thinking?"
"You are not getting him a job... It would be helping and she hates help... If she finds out that her husband was accepted to a job because of us and not his own merit she would kill us, she would be like very very angry and kills us" I explained
"Who said that will find out?" he said with a raised eyebrow making me smile
"Look at you... Showing off your true colors"
"Yes... Look how mischievous I am" he joked " and look how you're worse you are when you agree with me"
"I didn't say that I agreed"
"No. But you thought about it"
"No, I didn't"
"Yes, you did"
"No I didn't"
"Yes-"
"Hello kids" Uncle Joel interrupted our little dispute
"Hello uncle"
"Hello Mr.Vargas" Blaze greeted
"Joel son, please" He said while tapping Blaze's back " oh look at this sleepy head" he caressed Charlie's hair and looked to our front
