Chp. 4
Justin buys Christian new clothes. He doesn't let the little boy out of his sight.
Days pass by, and he doesn't hear anything about Christian's uncle, nor from his mother.
Christian asks,” Why’d Mommy Leave?"
"I don't know, but Daddy's here."
"Will Mommy back?"
Justin doesn’t know how to answer the question. He has mixed feelings about his wife she took away his greatest joy, and then abandoned her child: allowing someone she hardly knows care for him. He's beyond confused.
Justin says tearfully, "I wish I knew!"
Christian hugs his father,” Don’t cry, Daddy!"
Two weeks later Justin receives a terrible phone call, regarding the Christian's mother. Justin falls to his knees, asking God, "How do you explain this to a child? He doesn't deserve this!"
Justin sits down with his son. "Daddy has to tell you something bad, about Mommy." Justin's hands shake, as he tries not to cry. "Mommy's can't see you the same way anymore."
"Why Daddy?"
"Mommy's in heaven. Jake hurt her too much, so God took her."
Christian doesn't fully understand his father. "I want to go there!"
"Heaven's a special place, but you're not ready to go there. Daddy needs you. We can talk to Mommy every night when we pray, if you want too."
Christian stares at Justin blanky, and hugs his father tightly. They both comfort each other, through their sorrow.
Justin gives Christian a photograph of their family before all this happened. It stays on Christian's night stand. Justin hears Christian praying to God, as he looks at their family picture.
"I miss Mommy. I hope you take care of her. Daddy's good to me. Daddy needs me. I love him. Thank you for Daddy!"
Justin smiles slightly, and wipes a tear from his eye. "Thank you, so much for giving me back my little boy. Please don't let him suffer over losing his mother. It's difficult for a child to have to deal with."
Justin enters Christian's room, kissing him on the cheek. Christian Kisses him back, giving him a hug.
Chp. 5
Three months pass by; Justin sits with his son in the doctor's office. Justin's there for an annual check up. The boy giggles at Justin being in a gown.
Justin lies down on the table, so the doctor can check him over. Justin's doctor is a female, and absolutely gorgeous.
She gently presses on his stomach. "Does this hurt?"
"It's tender," admits Justin. "I bumped it the other day."
She touches on the other side. She can tell it's painful to him. "I'm a bit concerned about your pains. Let's have you walk in a strait line for me." He's off balance a little. The more he concentrated the worse it got. "I want you to have some blood work done."
"Okay, then may I go?"
"Yep, after you have blood drawn. Just lie back down, and we'll take it." Justin does as she asks. "All done."
Justin gets dressed and brings Christian home.
