My Little AJ

                                                                         My Little AJ

The next day, was probably the worst day of my life. It would've been the last day if Austin hadn't aided me (at least until the ambulance got there)! It started when I awoke (obviously), Blossom was crying and it woke AJ up. "Ma, Dad, Bloss'm's  cryin', could y'all git her please?" She pleaded, standing in our bedroom doorway. Austin sat up and replied lazily.

"Uh, yeah, okay AJ, just don't worry about it, Jade and I will get her,". I turned over, and sat up. As she trotted out of the room, I looked up at Austin and said.

"Alright, c'mon, Blossom sounds like she's gonna throw a fit,". Austin playfully rolled his eyes and said mockingly.

"Takes after her mom,". I glared at him and he just laughed.

"Alright, Blossom," I said. Blossom continued to wail. After I took care of her, she finally calmed down. As I went downstairs, AJ was drinking some apple juice (I wish I gave her more milk), and Austin was watching "The Watcher in the Woods" and drinking Monster. As Blossom sipped her bottle, I could only think about what happened last night, I still had a scratch on the corner of my mouth, and AJ noticed.

"Ma, whut happen'd to you're mouth?" She asked. I explained what had happened, and her mouth was left agape. "Why would they do thayt?" She asked once more. I said it was because he was a criminal. Even though she didn't know what a criminal was, she got some context clues from what I told her.

This evening, was the worst, in my life. I was putting Blossom in her crib when Austin and I heard something coming from the backyard. I thought that Blossom was going to cry again, but she didn't. Emily and Alex C. had come over and asked what had happened. "Austin and I heard something, we're gonna investigate, wanna come?" I asked. Emily and Alex C. nodded and we walked to the backyard. AJ was watching from Blossom's window, just so she could make sure Blossom would go to sleep. I wish she hadn't seen what had happened.

Just as I flashed a flashlight to where the noise was coming from, I saw a gun, and then, I felt a sharp pain in my shoulder. As I fell on the ground, I realized that the guy had shot me! Austin was beyond enraged, he was upset, and just couldn't take it anymore. I was hurt, and we had a family now. He wasn't going to back down without a fight. He punched the guy in the gut and said.

"GET A TASTE OF YOUR OWN DAMN MEDICINE!". After he said that, he come over to me and tried to keep me from bleeding. Seeing me in this condition, Emily was furious and beat the guy half to death. Alex C. had called the police and an ambulance. After 5 minutes, they got to the house, and I found my shoulder all bandaged up, and the guy was going to have life in prison, in a very secure cell. Emily had blood, on her hands, but little did she give. After she washed off the blood, her and Alex C. stayed with AJ and Blossom until Austin and I came home.

When we did come home, Alex C. and Emily asked what the doctor said. We explained that I'm going to have permanent shoulder problems, but that was the only defect. The guy finally did it, he traumatized AJ with the sight of me getting shot. As soon as Austin told her that we were home, she galloped up to me, and hugged my leg. My heart hasn't done this since she was a baby, and the meme gets old, but my heart exploded twice!

That night, I was laying in bed, nestled up to Austin, and he held me as close as possible. "I'm so sorry I let that happen to you, baby," He said. I looked up at him in confusion.

"This is not your fault at all!" I said. He said he knew, but he also said that he should've been more alert. I shook my head and nestled up closer.

"Baby girl you know I love you, I wish I had been more alert, and now we have AJ and Blossom, I-" I had cut him off and French kissed him. He kissed me back, he knew in his heart that I had said "Its okay,". The words he had said, I didn't want to just talk to him, I wanted to kiss him. He gladly went along with my method.
