Chapter 30


    Michael''s P.O.V.


    Drew insisted on staying the night and helping Mya and I so I let him sleep in the guest room. He''s


    been so helpful. When Mya passed out I lost it. The way her eyes fluttered back made me think all


    types of negative things. It honestly looked like she died. I was so scared. Drew helped me put cream


    on all her cuts and he helped me bathe her. I''m so d to have a friend like him. Sadly, he left this


    morning.


    Mya isn''t doing too good. It seems like she''sing down with a bad cold. She''s been sneezing and


    coughing like crazy. Her coughs are very thick and heavy and she sometimes wheezes after them. I


    had to give her her asthma pump twice already and it''s only 10 a.m. I scheduled her in for the doctor


    today so they can just check her out to make sure it''s just a cold and nothing else.


    Her body shivered every couple of minutes but her skin was hot. I didn''t know what to do so I just put


    another cold rag on her head.


    I was currently changing her diaper but it was a little hard to do because she was crying so much.


    Sweat broke out on her forehead and she squirmed against the changing table.


    "Daddy I''m cold..." I sighed wiping her forehead, "But baby you''re sweating and all you have on is a


    diaper. She shrugged then let out a heavy cough. I cringed, that had to hurt her chest. I pulled her


    down off the table and stood her on her feet. "What do you feel like wearing today princess?"


    She thought for a moment and then smiled. "Daddy I wanna wear this one!" She gushed pulling out a


    blue and white hippopotamus fluffy onesie. I squinted, "are you sure sweetheart?" She nodded, "yes


    papa I sure."


    I kissed her forehead andid her on the bed. "Daddy where we going?"


    "Baby I need to take you to the doctor."


    She shook her head, "why we go to doctor daddy? I not sick."


    I smiled lovingly at her, "Baby you''ve been coughing all morning so we''re just gonna go to make sure


    everything is ok." She twitched slightly but then nodded not saying anything else.


    * * *


    "NO!!" Mya screamed as I walked inside the doctor''s office. I crouched down to her eye level.


    "What''s the matter princess....talk to daddy."


    She rubbed her eyes as tears built up in them. "Daddy I don''t wanna go anymore. I scared." I stood


    picking her up and holding her close to me. "Baby there''s nothing to be afraid of ok? I''ll be with you


    until the doctor calls you in. She''s really nice... I promise." She shook her head and scratched the left


    side on her neck. "No daddy I don''t wanna go!! NO NO!!"


    I peck her lips. I knew she was sick but I didn''t really care. Love beats everything else.


    "Baby do you really think daddy would put you in danger?"


    She shook her headying it on my shoulder.


    "Ok so let''s just get this over with and then on the way home, I''ll stop and get you some ice cream."


    She looked up at me as excitement filled her eyes. "Ice cream?!"


    I nodded, "yes but only if you''re good." She pecked my lips and smiled, "Ok papa I be good girl. I


    promise I be best girl." I chucked, "ok baby."


    Mya let out a harsh cough as we approached the front desk. The woman pouted at her then looked at


    me. "What seems to be the matter with the princess?" Mya blushed at the word ''princess'' and his her


    face in my neck. I sighed, "I''m not sure what exactly is wrong but we have an appointment under


    Hoffstetter."


    She typed something in theputer and then smiled, "ahh Mr. Michael Hoffstetter right on time. Have


    a seat and the doctor will be with you shortly." I nodded thanking her.


    As soon as I reached the seat the doctor came out. "Mya Hoffstetter!" Mya jumped at the sound of her


    name. "It''s ok sweetheart everything is fine." I cooed rubbing her back. I approached the doctor.


    "Michael!!" She smiled brightly bringing me into a small hug careful not to hurt Mya. "Hi Susan how are


    you?"


    "I''m fine. Who''s this little cutie?"


    "This is Mya. Mya honey say hi to Ms. Susan." Mya slowly lifted her head and waved returning to her


    spot on my shoulder.


    "What''s wrong with her today?"


    I shrugged, "I really don''t know honestly. This morning she was throwing up and was coughing. It


    wasn''t a regr cough either, she was coughing heavy thick coughs and they sounded really painful."


    Susan nodded slowly, "and what happened to her face?" I froze for a second but then quickly


    recovered. "Oh she fell outside running around with the dog."


    Mya let out a heavy cough causing Susan to frown. "Ok let me being her in and look at her. I''ll have her


    out in no time." My eyebrows knitted together in confusion. "What do you mean? I can''t go in with her?"


    She shook her head, "It''s a new policy here at all the ddlg medical offices." I groaned, what the f!ck is


    up with all these new policies. "Ohe on Susan can''t you just bend the rules for me?" She smiled


    sadly "I wish I could but my boss is here today." I rolled my eyes, "fine."


    "Princess" I said softly cing Mya on her feet. "Daddy can''t go in with you ok, so I want you to be a


    big girl and go with Mrs. Susan." She shook her head and clung to me tightly. "No daddye too." I


    pecked her lips and pulled away just in time to avoid her thick cough. "See baby your sick. So go


    ahead and remember what I said about the ice cream." Her eyes shined at the word ice cream causing


    me to chuckle. I love her so much...


    * * *


    I''ve been pacing back and forth for what seemed like forever. My anxiety level was through the roof. I


    was just so worried that Mya was really sick and it was something more than just themon cold.


    The door finally opened and out came a smiling Mya. "Daddy daddy look what I got!! THREE


    STICKERS!! Ms. Susan gave it to me because she said I was super good and guess what daddy, she


    said I was her favorite ever!!" I chuckled matching her excitement "really baby?!?" She nodded. I


    crouched down and kissed her cheek, "That''s my girl!! I knew you could do it!!"


    "Michael" Susan called motioning me toe over.


    "Princess" I said standing to my full height. "I have to talk to Ms. Susan about something, so why dont


    you go y with the toys over there and wait for daddy toe back." She surprised me by nodding


    obediently and running over to the big stack of different toys in the corner.


    Susan smiled at her then turned to me. "She''s so beautiful Michael, and so well behaved. I mean she''s


    really something." I smiled nodding, "thank you." She read over her clip board and sighed, "Ok so I did


    pin point a few things." I spoke up quickly, "is she ok?" She nodded, "yea yea everything is fine but she


    does have a cold. I don''t want to really give her anything for the coughing and sneezing because she


    does have a little stomach virusing on."


    "Wait but where did she get the stomach virus from?"


    Susan shook her head, "I didn''t run any tests on her for it, but it could just be something she ate or


    drank. It might have upset her stomach but it''s nothing to worry about. It should go away in about three


    Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!


    days or so. Make sure she doesn''t have any milk, if she wants the form milk only give it to her once


    a day. Once you see that the vomiting stops then she can have it whenever she likes."


    I nodded making sure to remember everything. "Thanks Susan." She shook her head, "hold on Michael


    I''m not done yet." I tilted my head, "What''s wrong?" She scanned her clip board and sighed. "Well um


    Mya seems to have ADD and impulsivity." My eyes widened, "w-what do you mean?" She sighed, "well


    she has difficulty sitting still and she has a slight twitching problem. I saw the scratches on the left side


    of her neck and she said ''ants''. She repeated that over and over. She kept saying that ''ants were


    running all over her body'' meaning that when she tries to sit still it''s gets to be too much for her and it


    feels like she''s losing control. She also has a hard time focusing, so I gave her a small prescription just


    to keep her calm because I am aware of the screaming and the tantrums. You can pick it up on your


    way home. It''s a liquid so you can either give it to her in a regr table spoon or you can put it into her


    drink." I nodded taking in everything that she said.


    I sighed, "thank you Susan....for everything." She pulled me into a hug and smiled, "anytime Michael."


    I sighed running a hand through my hair. "Come on princess, daddy has to pick up something from the


    pharmacy."
