The Girl He Craves

Sophie’s pov

“Oh my baby bug,” I rushed over to Ashton who was playing with building blocks on the mat.

As Mrs. Georgia had mentioned, Miss. Greene was right beside Ashton, helping him build what I suppose was a castle….

When he heard my voice his beautiful blue eyes shot up and he beamed. His eyes were glossy and his nose was red. His cheeks were also flushed.

My heart throbbed. He was sick.

“Moma,” He said and struggled to get to his feet.

“Mommy is here baby,” I whispered as I scooted down and picked him up in my arms.

I hug his smaller body to mine, kissing his cheek and whispering soothing words to reassure him that he was going to be fine.

I noted how his body temperature was a bit off.

Aiden comes to stand beside us and rubs Ashton’s back while looking down at him in clear concern. “Do you know what could have made him sick?” He asked one of the women

whose eyes were on the three of us.

They shook their heads while one answered. “He seemed okay earlier but suddenly started sneezing and his nose got runny.

Might be a small bug or a cold.”

Ashton’s head dropped on my shoulder and I lift the back of my hand to his forehead. He’s burning up.

“He has a fever Aiden,” I said rapidly, scared that this was serious.

Aiden’s eyes watch his son with deep worry and said. “We’ll take him to the doctor baby, don’t worry okay?” He said, lifting his eyes to mine in reassurance.

I nodded, my brain too fumbled to realize what he called me at the moment.

Miss. Greene brought over Aiden’s little bag and Aiden and I walked out of the building with Ashton in my arms in a few.

When we got inside the Suv, I had Ashton tucked in my arms, holding him close as I run my fingers through his hair gently.
