*5 years later*

"Amelia!" I yelled up the stairs to my 5 year old daughter. I had to take her to Preschool before I go to work.

"Come on honey! Mommy has to go to work!"

"I'm coming mommy!" She yelled back down to me. I saw her approach the stairs and hang onto the railing. She was short for her age, but thats because her dickhead of a father had to punch my stomach when I was pregnant with her at 7 weeks. From that day I packed everything and moved 5 hours away from my previous place I lived in with my mother. She eventually moved about 1 hour away from us so Amelia can still see her Grandmother a lot.

Anyway. Amelia finally got down the stairs on her short legs and came up to me. She has on some leggings with a skirt on, and a floral printed, pink shirt. Her dirty blonde hair was brushed. Thanks to me. She cant brush her hair very well by herself yet. So I have to help her.

"Alright Sweetie. Got your backpack?"

"Yes mommy." She said and turned around to show me her backpack on her back. It was unzipped though.

"Hold on, let me zip it for you." I said and leaned down to zip it. A few crayons fell out so I out them back in with her note books that were on the kitchen table. Last night she was drawing me some pictures. I hung them up on my "Wall of fame" as Amelia likes to call it. Its a wall in the kitchen that has all of her drawings on it. Not all of them, just her favorite ones.

"Alright Amelia. Lets go to the car so you can go to preschool." I said and smiled at her when she turned around to face me.

"Ok mommy. I like your clothes" she said and poked my shoulder. She giggled. Oh that giggle, and her cute smile. It makes anyone just beam at her with a bright smile.

I was wearing red scrubs and they had Winnie the Pooh characters on them.

"Thank you sweetie. I like your clothes too." I said and poked her shoulder back. She just giggled at me more. I smiled widely at her. "Alright, lets go to the car" I said and stood up. I grabbed my purse, my phone, and my car keys. I turned around and saw that Amelia had already opened the door and was racing to the car. I smiled and shook my head at her, in a loving way of course. I locked up the house and walked to the car. Amelia got in her booster and strapped herself in it. I got in the front and put my seatbelt on. I started the car and backed out of the driveway.

------------------------

I went on and dropped off Amelia at school and then drove to work. I parked the car, threw the keys in my purse and went in the building. I saw one of my co-workers, Sandy. She was about 30 years old. I was 24. I was still sort of in training but I have the job and this is my last year in schooling to be a nurse. I work in the emergency room.

"Hey Sandy. Anything happen?" I ask her. She turns around and looks at me. A cup of coffee in her hand and some papers.

"Yeah. One boy came in. He brought his son in. He is really sick. They came in about ten minutes ago. They are in there." She said and pointed to one of the rooms for sick emergencies. There were rooms for sick people, and for injured people.

"Ok, I'll go check on them." I said and grabbed the papers from her hand that was stretched out to hand me them. I looked at them.

Michael Green was his name. He was 15 years old. I saw that he was very sick when they came in and some of his allergies and medical records.

I walked up to the closed door and knocked on it. I opened the door and stepped in and closed it behind me. I looked up and saw a young boy, which I assumed was Michael, sleeping on his fathers shoulder. I smiled at them the broke the silence.

"So this is Michael? What seems to be wrong with him?" I asked the man.

"Yes, and he has been up all night puking, and he started to puke up blood one time so I brought him here." Just as soon as the man got done explaining, Michael shot up and leaned over the trash can, puking up what ever was in his stomach.

When he was done he looked up at me. He had some blood on his mouth.

'Shit' I though. I grabbed some tissues and handed them to the poor boy. He mumbled a thank you and wiped his mouth.

"Michael, what have you eaten in the last few day?" I asked.

-----------------------

Finally my shift ended at the hospital. Michael had food poisoning. And it turned out the man that brought him in was his older brother. Caleb. He was 28. He did look a little young to be his father, but I'm not one to judge. I gave Michael medicine and sent them home, and to come straight back to the hospital if anything went wrong again. Caleb was single and we started talking. He gave me his number and we were texting all day when no one needed attention.

Now I was picking up Amelia from school. It was 1pm. I was a little later but the teacher didn't mind since she was a friend of mine. She was actually my best frond form High school. Mandy. She moved here when she found out why I moved. She was just the best ever. She was also Amelia's aunt so they see each other a lot outside of school also.

"So Amelia. What did you do at school today?" I asked her.

"Me and my friend drew a lot! We drew our families!" She exclaimed.

I pulled up to the house and got out. I helped Amelia out, unlocked the house and stepped inside, right after Amelia went buzzing in.

She put her school bag on the kitchen table to show me what she made today. She pulled out a picture. It was in purple and black crayon. It was of three people. Labeled. 'Mommy', 'Amelia', and 'Daddy'.
My heart broke when she asked the next question.

"Mommy, where is my daddy?" She asked. I sighed and though of a way to say he wasn't with us.

"Daddy is, honey, he is away on a big business trip. He wont be back for a long time." I said, stretching out the 'g' in 'long'.

"Ok." she said and looked at the picture. She looked back up at me. she smiled at beamed, "Whats for dinner mommy?"

"Well munchkin, I don't know. What does your tummy want? I asked and poked her tummy.

She giggled at me. "Mac 'n Cheese!" she yelled.

She climbed off the kitchen chair and ran into the kitchen. She climbed in a stool and sat in her knees. I walked over and grabbed a pot and started to boil the water for the macaroni.
