"When is dad coming over again?" Alex asked me as I rushed to dress him up.
"Not again, Alex," I said as I rushed away to pack his lunch.
He looked pissed and concerned at the same time and he tucked his shirt in.
"When is Jessie coming back too?" he asked with an arched eyebrow and I stopped what I was doing to face him.
I rested my hands on my hips as I spoke. "Jessie will be back after two weeks and that will be a few days from now. I have said this more than I can remember," I said to him before going back to what I was doing.
He walked to the sofa and sat with his arms crossed on his chest.
I knew he needed more soothing and explanation than I was giving and I immediately knew I needed to go to him.
"Hey, baby," I called as I pulled him to myself. Even though I was in a hurry this morning, I still needed to calm my son.
