I couldn’t figure out what was going on with me. I have tried to be in relationships before and I always got hurt so I promised myself I was not going to let that happen again. Yet here I am holding this beautiful blonde woman in my arms as she worried about her child who I have never even met or even knew about.

"Do you want anything…..something to drink or eat?" I was starting to feel the emotion of today take over me and I had to get a grip on myself.

She leaned up off my chest and looked at me and I knew I was lost again as her soft blue eyes landed on mine and she just shook her tired head and took my left hand in hers and rubbed her fingers across it.

"No…I’m ok…but I need to go in their and check on him." She started to stand and I saw the blonde woman from the lobby coming towards us.

"Ohhh good you found her…." Spencer looked at us confused.

"She heard me in the lobby looking for you and told me what room your son was in." I smiled at her and I couldn’t help but smile at the blush I saw creep up her cheeks.

"Spencer I hope you said thank you to this wonderful woman it isn’t often a boss finds it necessary to come to the hospital to visit an employees child.

She spoke to Spencer like a child and I really didn’t like that even though I knew this was her mother and I couldn’t put my finger on her she had this way about her like she was better than everyone else.

"I did mom….I need to check on Ty, Ash do you want to come see him?" Spencer looked at me with hopeful eyes and in that moment I realized how badly I didn’t think this whole coming to the hospital thing through. It was either stay out here in the hall with the stuck up mother or follow Spencer to meet her little boy who will probably hate me.

"Uhhh…..I…." I couldn’t talk and worse than that I didn’t know what to say even if I could. "I….yeah…ok."

Spencer had what I could only read as an amused expression on her face and I just put my hand on her back and moved her forward. When we got to the door though I stopped dead in my tracks. I have never considered myself a weak person or would I have ever considered myself a "chicken" in fact all through school I was the girl who would jump off the highest rock into the water or the one who skipped the most monkey bars in elementary but when I saw that little boy no more than 4 years old with cuts all over his face and his broken little body I was terrified. I froze.
