A Second Chance novel Chapter 6

"I love you too, Goodnight Mommy." She rolled to her side, her eyes immediately closed, and off to dreamland she went.

Paige closed the door slightly and went for her shower next. Daycare tomorrow for Aurora, she had to remember to take her and get her snacks ready in the morning. She started the water and got in washed up, dried, and dressed.

She peeked in on Aurora one last time before going to her room. She grabbed the recent photo she had of her and Spencer hugging it close to her chest and cried herself to sleep.

"Sir I take you as far I can, we stop here, go that way, it base." The soft voice said in broken English as they parked the Jeep and pointed straight ahead.

Spencer looked at the young boy who brought him this far, "Thank you." He pushed open the door, was he strong enough to make it to the base? He stumbled out of Jeep, he had to try. His feet barely came up off the ground as he made his journey to the base. He had to get to his Paige.

He made it to the compound but began to collapse outside the gate.

"Medic, we need a medic!" The male voice shouted getting closer to Spencer as he lost consciousness again.

Paige groaned as she woke up. She placed her bare feet on the wooden floor and went to get Aurora. She grabbed her white unicorn shirt and jeans then sat on the bed, "Aurora, time to wake up."

She popped up in the bed, "Daycare today!" She said excitedly.

"How did you get so smart?" Paige teased as Aurora flew into her arms. Paige stripped her of her dirty clothes and put the new ones on. "What do you want for breakfast?"

"Blueberry waffles!" Aurora rushed out to the blue kitchen and jumped up into her booster chair.

Paige laughed as she began to get waffles out along with the syrup. Once it was done she cut it up and placed it in front of Aurora, "Eat up sweetie."

"What about you Mommy?" those piercing blue eyes gazed at Paige.

"I'm just not hungry right now, you eat, I'll go get ready for work." She ruffled Aurora's hair a little and headed to her bedroom. She pulled out the stupid red shirt and black pair of slacks and changed.

She felt a little light-headed as she dressed. She needed to eat, she couldn't remember the last time she had food in her mouth besides last night and even then it wasn't too much.

She shook the feeling away and grabbed her purse, keys, and their jackets. She saw Aurora was done, she grabbed the plate and fork to put in the sink. "What do you want for a snack?"

"Goldfish!"

"Okay, what drink?"

"Apple."

Paige chuckled, her baby was so easy to make happy, it thrilled her. She got everything packed for Aurora and they headed out to the car. She narrowed her gaze as she saw Kurt on the other side of the street. She huffed as she pulled the door shut and locked the deadbolt from the outside.

Paige rushed to the car, putting Aurora in the seat and went to the daycare. Paige got out, took Aurora inside, "Hello Ms. Berry, this little monster is so excited I hope you can keep up, I have her goldfish and apple juice in her non-spill cup."
