Ava POV

I wake up to an empty bed. I smile and remember last night. I look for my clothes. I put on his sweatshit and his sweats. I walk downstairs and see him cooking breakfast.

"How do you want your eggs? ," He asks smiling. He has on sweats and the bow tie I love so much.

"Scrambled,"

"No problem gorgeous, " I walk over to him and wrap my arms around. I rub his chest. "You sleep good?,"

"like a baby," I sit on the counter. "How did you sleep?,"

"I slept well,"

"Good, "

"Who taught you all them tricks?," I laugh.

"Me, myself, and I," He laughs and pours our ornage juice.

"Wheres my kiss?,"He asks.

"I dont know," He grabs my face and kisses me. A big sloppy wet one. "Ew," we laugh and start eating.

"What are you doing tomorrow? ," he asks me.

"Go to church and th-,"

"On a monday?,"

"Baby tomorrow is Saturday,"

"Nah last night was Saturday," I look at my phone and I missed have of service.

"I missed church,"I stand up. "I need to go," I run upstairs and put on my clothes from last night and  .  grab my shoes and purse.

"Do y-,"

"I'll call you later baby," I kiss him and leave the house.

I rushed him and changed and took a shower. Once I arrive to church all eyes on me, I sit next to my brother and dad.

"You are late,"

"I know I know," Dorrien shakes his head.

"Where were you?," Dorrien asks.

"I over slept," I sigh and wait for the service to be over.

"Where you been?," Dad asks as he stands up.

"I overslept,"

"Mhmm," He holds onto me as I walk him out. I feel my phone vibrate in my purse.

"Im sorry I have to take this," Dorrien holds onto dad.

"Dr.Chauncey we have a very important patient here for you,"

"Okay, I will be on my way," I walk back over to Dad. "I have to go,"

"Where you going now?," Dorrien asks.

"To the hospital, I have a sick patient," I start walking to my car.

**

"Hello, Im Dr.Chauncey, " I walk into the room.

"Hi Dr.Chauncey,  Im Tena,"

"Nice too meet you,"

"Im Penelope," The little girl says.

"Hi Penelope, what seems to be the problem,"

"My daughter here was recently diagnosed with cancer. She went through chemo and what not," Hearing things like this makes me want to cry. "She recently had an asthma attack, " I nod. "We came back here and they told me that she has a bad lung and she needs to walk around with her oxygen tank. But over and over she couldnt breathe even with the tank,"

"Okay she is probably coming down with a cold. And for her health we should keep her down in our children hospital. So we can monitor her breathing habits and if her cold or cough gets any worse,"

"Okay thank you so much,"

"Come with me and I will show her around and have her fill out some paper work,"

"Okay come on Penelope," She grabs her hand as I lead them downstairs.

"Mommy look!," Penelope points to the wii and the giant TV.

"I see,"

"Nurse Jackie here will show her around and I will take you to fill out paper work," I lead her to my office and I hand her the packet. I explain the pages and what not to her.

"Mom I want to go home," Penelope walks in.

"We will in a little while okay baby,"

"I want to go home now,"

"O-,"

"Can we go to our home now? ,"

"Did something happen Penelope,"

"No I just want to go to our home,"Tena buds in.

"She is just nervous,"

"No I want to go to our home,"

"Okay," She finishes all the signatures.

"I will call you later further more,"

"Okay thank you nice meeting you, " I smile as they walk out. After my shift, I volunteer for the 2am shift. I just want to make sure Penelope comes back.

"Baby come on," I drag him with me into the mall.

"You better not be in here for a long time," I smirk as we walk around. "What are you looking for?,"

"I need some more pants," I walk into the store.

"How was your day?," August asks me.

"It was okay. I am working with a cancer patient,"

"For real?,"

"Yeah, but I just want to shelter her,"

"What you mean?," I hold the pair of pants up to me.

"She kept saying mom can we go home. Our home,"

"Maybe she stays at her fathers house and we wants to go with her mom,"

"Nah I dont think so, something up,"

"So what are now? An investigator?,"

"August listen to me. Something doesnt seem right,"

"Whatever you say babe," He kisses my cheek.

"How was your day?,"

"Tiring,"

"What happened? ,"

"Im trying to finish this album and now get this tour started,"

"Tour?,"

"Yeah,"

"You really going to leave me," I pout.

"Yeah Im sorry but I got to get this money, "

"Do what you got to do. Dont let me stop you,"

"Reverse psychology? ," I laugh.

"No Im serious, reminds me I have to go to work at 2,"

"And you are shopping when you could be sleeping,"

"Im fine," I walk to the fitting room. "Hold this," I hand him my purse.
