Second Chances

chapter thirty eight naughty boy

               

Tyler opened his eyes, stretched, removed the mask and after taking a deep breath reached for his phone and saw that he had ten missed calls from Kayla, he also noticed that it was one in the morning. Sitting up he swing his legs over the side of his bed and pause when he saw his family sitting in various parts of his room, including Janice and Faith.

"It's okay son you can relax. I've already call the hospital and told them what happened and that you won't be coming in tonight."His father said coming towards him. "So how are you feeling?"

"Like I haven't eaten since yesterday." He said with a weak smile, he pats his father's shoulder as he heads to the bathroom. His mother breathes a sigh of relief and whispers a prayer of thanks to God that he was okay. Faith began fussing as Ty came out of the bathroom, so he came over and took her from Janice and immediately the child's fussing cease.

"I know, I missed you too muffin." He whispers smiling at the baby. "I'll go get you something to eat." Fabian said and leaves the room. His father did a brief examination before he and his mother left the room but not before his mother hugged him tightly and kissed him, then whispers I love you son.

"I love you too mom." He said with a warm smile. As soon as his parents were out of sight, he turns to Caleb and punched him hard on his shoulder. "Owch , what the hell was that for?" Caleb ask rubbing his shoulder. "What the hell were you thinking?" Ty demands. "I'm sorry; I didn't mean to, I promise it won't happen again." "It had better not."Ty said between clench teeth as Fabian came back with his snack.

"I'm glad you're okay little bro, now I'm going to get some shut eye." Fabian said, coming Caleb?" "Um....Yeah ...Um....I'm sorry Ty, for a moment there I forgot about....you know...."

"I know and you're forgiven, now leave before I really hurt you." Ty said playing with Faith. "Good night brother." Anna said kissing his forehead and she walks sleepily from his room; Janice got up and came towards him with the intention of taking Faith and leaving as well. "I think I'll....." "Oh no; you're not going anywhere." Ty said cutting her off and pulling her down beside him.

Just then his phone rang" and he answer it.

"Hi Kayla." On hearing Kayla's name Janice attempts to get up but his grip on her wrist held her in place. "Baby where have you been; I've been trying to get you since this evening." She wines in a sad tone. "Sorry, I was dealing with another one of my episodes." He said as Faith began fussing again.

"Is that a baby? Where did you get a baby Ty?" She asks. "She's the newest member of my family." He said kissing Faith's cheeks as he put her on his shoulder and rocks her gently.

"Are you okay?" She asks. "I'm fine, are you alright?" "Yeah we are okay; I was just worried about you." "I'm alright now, I'll call you tomorrow." "Okay baby I love you." "Love you too, bye." He ends the call and turn to Janice. "Is there anything you want to ask me about what happened?" He asks.

"Oh my gosh, I've so many questions, I don't even know where to start." "Well let me begin by saying that I'm sorry for not giving you a heads up about this before. I was so busy learning about you that I forgot to mention my problems." He said rocking Faith to sleep.

"That's okay, but now I want to hear everything." She said eagerly. "That could take awhile." He laughs. "Well I don't have anywhere to be so, begin."

It took a while for him to fill her in on all the details of his illness and they fell asleep on his bed with Faith tuck safely in between them. Her cries woke them up at five and they fed and change her and after she fell asleep again they both crawl back into bed.
