Old Friend’s Visit-2

　　“Yeah, run away again, and I will put you in my pocket.”

　　“I keep that in mind.” I chuckle that makes him chuckle too.

　　“Good to see you back, Abby.” I nod, I see another head that I don’t recognize.

　　“Baby, meet James Riley. Riley, come here and meet my wife.” Riley offers his hand, but I hug him instead.

　　“Nice meeting you, Riley, or shall I call you James.”

　　“Just Riley, ma’am.”

　　I smile. “Ma’am my ass, call me Abby.”

　　“Babe, your dad will be here soon. Mom and Dad are on their way with aunt Brenda and Uncle Peter. Would you like to rest before they arrive? The doctor won’t release you today.” He sits back on my side, and my stomach growls.

　　“Oops. I guess I need real food.” Everyone laughs.

　　My dad arrives later with a bouquet of red tulips.

　　“Dad, I miss you,” I yell before he can come closer.

　　“I missed you too, pumpkin.” He hugs me and kisses my forehead. “How are you feeling, pumpkin? I’m sorry this has to happen to you.”
