"Umm... Marcus, Is it okay if I take him to the therapist next week?" I asked, hesitantly.
He didn't respond for a while and then slowly nodded his head with a small pout on his lips.
"Thank you" I beamed in joy and kissed him on the cheek.
I opened the door and walked into a room filled with toys. On the walls hanged drawings of children's and on the white curtains hanged blue paper butterflies decorated with glitter. The floor was covered in a colourful rubber flooring giving off a cheerful sight.
"Mr and Mrs. Anderson I've been waiting for you"
Ms. Berkeley, the therapist was sitting on the floor surrounded by small children. She stood up and walked towards us.
She looked over my shoulder and saw Lucas in Marcus's arms. "Here's the cute baby Lucas. Are you excited to see me?"
Lucas turned away and hid his face in Marcus's neck.
"Aww he's shy. Don't worry they all were" She said gesturing to the small children on the floor.
"Ms. Berkeley as I told you earlier Lucas is a bit scared-"
"Oh don't worry. You can leave him here. He will love to hangout with the kids."
I blinked and blinked. What did she say? Leave Lucas? I glanced at Marcus and he was looking at me in confusion.
"Umm...what do you mean by leaving him?"
Ms. Berkeley fixed her glasses and looked at us in shock. "Mrs. Anderson you can't stay here. You have to go now and then can come back to pick him up in few hours"
"But-you didn't tell me about leaving him. I thought we could stay too"
"If you stay here Lucas will only interact with you. That's not going to work. You can come back to take him before your brother's event"
"But he will be sad-"
"Mrs. Anderson don't you want your son to get better? Give it chance. Most of the kids here were just like him. But now look at them. They are laughing, playing, talking. Don't you want Lucas to be like them?"
I looked at Marcus but he was looking away. I knew he was angry with me. This wasn't part of the plan.
My gaze fell on to the children and saw how cheerful and happy they looked. If only my baby can be like them.
"Mrs. Anderson-"
"F-fine" I said, my voice shaky. "But we'll be coming back in three hours"
Ms. Berkeley let out a sigh and nodded. "You made a wise decision. Keep Lucas over there please" She pointed at the circle of children.
I took Lucas from Marcus's arms and walked over to the circle. I crouched down and sat Lucas on the floor.
"Lucas you can make many friends here. Look! They also like animals" I said pointing at some children who were playing with animal toys. "Be a good boy. Mommy will come to pick you up in few hours"
I took my arms away from him to stand up but he suddenly held onto my sleeve.
"Mommy" He looked at me with sad eyes.
"Mmh baby?"
"Don't...go" His lips trembled, eyes filling with tears. My heart sank, burning in agony. At the moment all I wanted was to wrap my arms around him and take him into my embrace, telling him everything would be alright.
But I couldn't. I wanted him to better. I wanted his future to be better.
"Baby mommy will come back quickly. We'll take you to the zoo after visiting uncle Jake"
I turned my head and glanced at Marcus who stood by the door, an unreadable emotion crossed over his eyes.
I kissed Lucas on the head and stood up, blinking back my tears.
"Mom...my" Lucas's voice broke.
I closed my eyes and turned around, unable to bear the pain. Marcus looked at me, his eyes blood shot red. Without a word he opened the door and strode out. I followed him after and got into the car.
Today was Blair's birthday and Jake wanted to surprise her. Blair's father who suffered from cancer died last year so Jake wanted to open a new cancer ward in the hospital on behalf of him. It will be held in 3 hours and before that I would come and take Lucas back.
After I got into the car we drove for a while in utter silence. Marcus didn't speak but his body language spoke it all.
Suddenly he pulled the car off the road and parked it on the side.
"Dammit" I flinched as he slammed his fist on the steering wheel.
"How can you leave him there? You know that he has never, not even a minute stayed without us. Don't you know that he's sad? Do you even feel his pain at all?"
I stared at him, grief engulfing me. I saw a flash of regret pass across his eyes and he quickly leaned back, shocked at his own words.
I pursed my lips and looked away, not wanting to fight with him because I knew he was sensitive when it came to Lucas.
And my heart was already broken for leaving my son. I didn't have any strength left in me to speak another word.
He didn't respond for a while and then slowly nodded his head with a small pout on his lips.
"Thank you" I beamed in joy and kissed him on the cheek.
