Violet and Jordyn will be here in a little bit. It makes me sick that I’m going to have to spend the next few hours with them and I can’t believe that the first time I see Joseph they are going to be there, too. I’m nervous. Scared.

What if he doesn’t show up? What if he does? What if he does and he doesn’t pick me?

Max and I spent another night sleeping in the family waiting area but we were both so tired at the time we could have slept standing up. Once Dr. Gideon discharges Violet we can all go home.

On the couch next to me Max is scrolling through his cell phone while I mentally try to balance my nearly nonexistent checking account. “Mom.” Max turns to me. His eyes are wide and his face is a sickly shade of white.

“What?” I ask and he holds out his phone to me. I take it and look at the screen to find a series of text messages from a group of kids. Only Nikki’s and Clint’s names are familiar.

“Oh, my God,” I whisper and thrust the phone back into Max’s hands.

“What’s happening?” Max asks me, sounding like a small boy.

“I don’t know,” I say, pulling him in for a hug, and for the first time in a very long time my son doesn’t pull away from me.
