Eventually Yours

~Brie~

I spotted Aubree seated in the waiting area... her eyes fixed on her phone's screen.

I shook my head and doubled my steps. I inquired about some information from a nurse who was passing by.

Aubree cleared her throat and I looked away from the nurse.

“Yes Brie, I am very fine. Thanks for asking and you don't have to thank me for getting your little hellion here in time.”

“Look Aubree, don't call my son that. We're not in a good place right now but don't drag my son into this.”

“Oh shut up. You know mean no harm by that,” she told me.

She looked in a direction and stood up. I followed her gaze and it was Beck.

“Hi,” he said to me.

“Is he okay?” I asked, avoiding his gaze.

“The doctor said everything is normal now. We got here in time.”

I let out a huge sigh of relief.

“Thank God” I whispered, rubbing my temple.

“Whose child is this?” we heard a nurse ask.

“Mommy!” Roman stood up from the wheelchair and ran up to me.

“Hey, hey, hey slow down champ.”

But before Beck could finish he was already hugging me tightly. I buried my chin in his hair.

“I'm so sorry for not being there baby. Are you okay?”

“Yes. Can I have some candy now?”

I chuckled and planted a kiss on his forehead.

“How subtle” Beck chuckled

Roman grinned.

“Excuse me... is there someone here to fill the boy's forms?”

I looked up.

“Yes, I'm his mother.”

“It's okay Bee. I'll do it. Just stay here with him.”

I nodded and he walked away.

“I'm sorry I scared you again Mommy.”

I shook my head.

“I promise I'm not going to leave you alone again okay?”

I smiled at him.

“I'm never going to be so careless again” I added and he hugged me.

“Oh finally, mother!” Aubree shouts.

“Oh thank goodness you're alright!” Mom cried.

“Grams!” Roman ran up to her.

I sighed as my father made a beeline toward me.

“Darling...”

I hugged him.

“Daddy.”

“We're sorry dear.”

“No Dad... I'm sorry. I should have just hurried back from the mall. Then at least my son wouldn't be alone and I wouldn't have to be in Aubree's debt.”

He smiled at me and kissed my temple.

“Breanna sweetheart.”

“Mom no it's fine” I stopped her shaking my head as I pulled away from my father's hug.
