“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….

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.

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.
