I ran downstairs and found a nurse.
"I need to see the nursery recordings," I demanded.
"Okay, Miss." She answered.
I followed her into the security room with Ezra not far behind me. I sat down on the chair.
"Explain now!" Ezra demanded.
"I will; I just need to see something," I responded.
I typed in '1/29/20'. I used the mouse to fast forward to that night. I watched it from ten to six this morning.
"Oh, thank god!" I sighed with a sense of relief.
"Explain!" Ezra demanded.
"When I was in a coma last year, someone in my dream told me someone who feels neglected would release another version of the illness. My mind went to the worst."
"So you thought Jayce did it?"
"Yeah."
An immediate sense of guilt came over me.
"Well, did she?" Ezra asked.
"Of course not, She's two! I'm just confused about who did it!"
"Same here."
"So, what are our next steps?"
"First, we need to get Jayce a stuffed animal and a cookie."
"Oh my god! I blamed my daughter for something awful."
"Babe! It was a mistake!" He kissed my forehead.
"I know, but still!" I facepalmed.
"Second, we need to make a plan on how to nip this in the butt!" He stopped. "Hey, I love you!"
"I love you too; we will figure this out."
He left. I put my head in my hands.
"Hi, sweetie!"
My mom came into the room.
"How did you do it?" I asked.
"Did what?"
"How did you deal with problems with Peter? How did you give Danny and I up?"
"I knew you weren't safe here. I ran to safety."
"The fact the sickness is back is scaring me."
"Oh," She continued. "I'm in the same boat."
"I-I need to sleep on this," I explained to her.
"Okay, sweetie, we will figure this out."
She left the room. I headed to my room and flopped onto my bed.
"You okay, babe?" Ezra asked from our bathroom.
"Ugh!" I responded.
He walked into the bedroom.
"Okay, that's it!"
He lifted me over his shoulder. I started laughing while he twirled me around the room like a helicopter. He then suplexed me onto our bed. He got onto the side table and jumped onto me. He kissed me and then started to tickle me.
"Rude," I said in between laughs.
I managed to knock him off me. I then pinned him onto the bed and kissed him.
"Let's go check on the kids," I said, getting off of him.
He got up and kissed me. We walked into the nursery to see the four sleeping babies. Ezra held my stomach and kissed my cheek. We went through the rest of the day like normal. That night was a different story.
