Forty Four

Meridian, Mississippi… April 10, 2025

Calico moved to get more water for Angus when, finally, she saw Prudence and Joel walking toward her.

“They said she’ll be alright. Some modifications are needed, but…”

Joel scrubbed his eyes a moment before continuing, Prudence patting his back as Amos and Mario came speed walking over, along with Romeo, holding Angus’s hand. “Basically, Clementina needs to lose some weight; we knew that, and we were working on it, but not enough. We’ll need to be more vigilant,” he continued.

“I’ve also put in a call to Brice,” he continued as they all walked back over to the sitting area, Angus whining for more water. “Considering what we’re up against now I asked him to get the best computer guy he knows on some of this… not only for her health, but about her past. Her family history.”

An image of Justice Morrison skittered across her mind and with it, a brief pang of what if. But he was as happily married as she, to different people; she was happy for him; for he and Midge, both.

Her gaze traveled to Romeo and caressed his face as Joel continued.

“So, I’m going to stay with her here tonight, and I want the rest of you to go back home. If anything changes, I’ll call Mario, and he’ll contact the rest of you, alright? I want everyone to get a good night’s sleep, because between Clementina’ health and...”

Joel’s eyes rested on Angus, who frowned at him. “More water,” he pleaded. “And I’m hungry again.”

“We’ll get you food and water soon, Kiddo,” Joel said, bending down to his level in front of him where he sat on the couch. “And then, I’m sending you all home, okay? I’m going to stay here with Miss Clementina, and we’ll see you tomorrow, how does that sound?”

“But… I miss her,” Angus said, pouting. Calico could see the bags under his eyes and knew he had to be exhausted.

“Just one day, and you’ll see her again. I promise,” the man told him seriously.

Calico’s heart went out to both Joel and her son. Joel, who knew about Angus’s health, and Angus, because he was just too young to understand what was happening to him.

How do you tell a child that the reason they get tired easy, want to eat and drink a lot, and have nausea with tummy aches is because they have something that won’t ever go away? That they, for some reason, have health issues that, together, keeps them from gaining weight or having as much energy as other little boys their age?

Romeo took her hand and shook his head at her.

What, she told him with her eyes. I’m not saying a word. It’s bad enough that he’ll find out next week at the appointment.

He squeezed her hand and moved toward their son, clapping Joel on the shoulder in the process. “We’ll be sure to have a special treat for her when she gets home, won’t we, Angus,” he said lightly. Joel stood back up, and Romeo moved to take the boy by the hand.
