I hold my arm steady and allow the nurse to find a vein, she goes in for a second time and taps my arm trying to find one.

I close my fingers making a fist and tense my arm a bit and a vein becomes visible. I release my arm and she puts the needle into my arm and starts drawing blood.

I look over to my right and see them swapping the inside of Jaheem's mouth. He stirs and Tish holds down his hands holding him a bit tighter.

He cries and tries to move away from the lady swapping his mouth.

His cries and screams become louder as he fights against Tish who is visibly frustrated. She tries to calm him down but fails and his behaviour seems to also annoy the nurse as she rolls her eyes when she has to throw away yet another swab and goes in to use another one.

The nurse working on me finishes and I slide the chair across the room over to where they are. I take Jaheem from Tish and he calms down. He leans into me more and places his thumb into his mouth. I remove his thumb and hold his little hands.

He looks up at me and I smile calling over the nurse. I instruct him to open his mouth and he does.

He squints his eyes as the nurse swabs his mouth clearly not liking the feeling of the swab in his mouth.

The nurse is able to swab his mouth properly and without interruptions and smiles when she is done.

His thumb goes back into his mouth and I lift him standing. I take Tish's hand into mine and we walk out of the office after being told the results would be available by Thursday or Friday.

I place Jaheem in his car seat and strap him down. Tish has been very quiet since we entered the doctor's office and I am sure it's just her being uneasy and not sure what to do as she hasn't stopped fidgeting.

I get in the car and start it her phone rings and she holds her head straight. I pull out of the car park and in the direction of a little restaurant where we can get something to eat.

Her phone rings, again and again, but she ignores it. Her eyes set on the road. She looks as if she's far away from here.

I touch her softly and she turns to me. Her eyes glossy with tears, she blinks and they slide down her pretty face.

I reach over and wipe them away.

"Everything aguh good," I say to her wiping away the tears. She nods her head and her phone rings once again. This time she answers and puts it on speakerphone.

"When mi can come fi mi son?"Grabba's voice fills the car,

"Cause yuh a gwaan like seh man fi beg yuh fi see them pickney. Aguh mek yuh know this Tish mi nuh care who yuh waah whore out yuhself wit as long as mi youth good and mi can see him" he voices and I get angry.

"Suh weh yuh waah mi meet yuh fi my youth mi deh pon Old Hope Road suh if yuh and yuh man deh near deh suh just tell mi suh mi can come fi mi pickney." Pity him nuh know seh Jaheem more than likely anuh fi him.
