Blu's Mute

Chapter 29: You Mean 'We'

Dominic's POV-

“My father got in an accident.” Blu whimpered out to me. I sighed as I pulled into a parking spot in front of the hospital. Blu climbed out of the car, me right behind him, and we hurried inside. “I’m looking for Carter Massie.” he said to the lady at the front. A doctor strode up to us, his dark brown hair was combed back neatly, and his light brown eyes were soft with sorrow.

“Are you Blu?” he asked, Blu nodded and I slipped my hand to hold his. “I’m sorry to inform you Blu, we tried everything we could... but your father passed, as did your step mother.” I watched as Blu’s eyes filled with tears, covering his mouth again as a sob escaped his lips. I pulled him into a hug and moved us over to a couch in the waiting area where he sobbed into my shoulder for a few minuets. Once he was done he wiped tears from his face with a tissue and inhaled deeply.

“What do you mean my step mother?” he asked the doctor shakily,

“Angela Green, she’s been married to your father for three and a half years.” the doctor explained.

“I didn’t know he got remarried.” he mumbled, running a hand through his hair with a shaky sigh.

“Uhm, Doctor... May I have a word with you, Mr.Massie’s lawyer is here, he wants to discuss the will.” a nurse said softly, the doctor nodded and hurried off with her as I continued to comfort Blu.

“What if he doesn’t want to, I don’t even know how old he his, we don’t know if it’s even legal!” the doctors voice rang through the room as footsteps echoed closer.

“He’s eighteen, it is legal, and I know for damn well he and I will get it situated.” a new voice said as they stood in front of me and Blu, who was sitting with his head in my shoulder as I sat in his lap continuing to comfort him. The mans tall frame turned to the doctor, “Now will you give me time with my client and son.” I looked over to recognize my father was the man staring down the doctor, who soon gave in and stormed off. “Blu, are you alright.” my father said softly, patting his back as he sat beside us. Blu tightened his grip around me,

“I’ll be fine...” he breathed a sigh and lifted his head from my shoulder, I took a tissue and wiped the tears from his red face. “What do I have to send to whoever’s on the will?” Blu turned to look at my father who gave a weak smile.

“I know you will, you’re a tough boy, and Dominic is good support for you.” he was speaking to Blu like he were his own son. He sighed and scratched his forehead, “Actually nothing, he left everything to you. His house, car, bank account, all to you, same for his wife, she left everything as well.” Blu’s brows furrowed as his mouth hung open,

“What about the... funeral?” he whispered the last word,

“You leave that to me, right now, there’s something else thats to be taken care of.” my father pulled a pile of papers from his suit case. “Do you want to keep the house and furniture? If you do, we can go to the house sometime and you can see what you do want to keep.” Blu nodded,

“I’m not just going to give up his stuff, or sell it, if i’m not keeping it it’ll go to someone in his wifes family or Aunt Kayla or you.” my dad nodded and wrote on an extra piece of paper,

“She doesn’t have any family, Angela was an only child, and her parents passed away five years ago.” Blu shrugged,

“Then to Aunt Kayla or you guys, someone that is, or is like family to my dad should get some stuff.” my father smiled softly,

“That’s the easy part.” he sighed and ran a hand through his hair, scratching the back of his head he bit his lip. “Now the hard part.” he sat up straighter and looked Blu in the eyes, “You have a sister, and you were put down as the god-father.” Blu grew stiff in my arms and began to shake again.

“How old is she?” he asked in a low whimper, he looked broken, with tears in his eyes.

“She’s two and a half, she was in the car during he wreck.. and she survived.” Blu nodded and looked at me desperately, I pulled his head to my shoulder and hugged him tight,

“Dad, I think he needs time.” I whispered, my father nodded,

“The hospital wants to keep her for a while, make sure she’s ok, when you know what you want to do, talk to me ok?” he said softly to Blu who nodded into my shoulder.

“What am I going to do?” Blu whispered, he’d been quiet since we got to his house after the hospital, it’d been two hours of silence between us. He needs to be able to have time to soak it all in, he’s in shock, i’d been telling myself the whole time. I stepped in front of Blu, he was staring at a picture of him and his father that was on his dresser. “I can’t put her up for adoption, how am I going to take care of her?” his bottom lip quivered as his eyes grew wet again. I cupped his face and pulled him to look at me,

“You mean ‘we’.” I said sternly with a soft voice, Blu’s brows contected in confusion. I kissed his lips softly, wrapping my arms around his chest, making him stop the slight trembling. “You said ‘I’ like you were alone in this, you meant ‘we’ because you aren’t, and i’m here to help you with whatever you choose.” as our eyes locked I wiped a tear from falling down his cheek.

“What if I said I wanted to keep her, and raise her.” he asked me doubtfully,

“I’d say you get a job and i’ll put my apron on to be Mr. Mom.” he smiled softly,

“What if I thought it’d be better for her to put her up for adoption?’ he slip his hands around my waist.

“It depends... Do you think it’d be better because you don’t think your ready to raise a child, or because you think you couldn’t give her a good enough life?” Blu rested his forehead on mine.

“Both.” he whispered solemnly, 

“For my advice, if you think you’re ready to raise her, you’ll be able to give her the things she needs to have a good life; I know i’m ready and willing, but it depends on you.”
