Don't Give Up On Me Yet.
bundles of joy and the clan of misfit boys.
My healthy baby boy.
He was an angel.
I swear he was.
Wierd part was he looked almost nothing like me.
Redish/blonde hair.
fair skin.
freckles.
His eyes were the only thing
that looked like mine.
his bright sky blue eyes were
the exact same color.
Had I not carried him around for 9 months.
everyone would say I had stolen him.
but nope he was mine.
" Miss McDonell? have you picked out a name yet? "
The nurse stared down at me.
I shook my head breaking out of my lil space cadet session and bit my bottom lip.
" Hm....I'm not sure honestly "
Cause I had no idea of what to name him.
9 months ago I started.
I swear I had gone thru every name in the english/irish/german and scottish dictionary.
and then like a friggen rock it hit me on the head
" Thaniel. Thaniel Marcus McDonell "
I smiled to myself.
The name fit him perfectly.
He even giggled when I said it.
The nurse nodded and I wrote it on the paper she had given me.
" hey baby Thaniel. welcome to the world " I wispered.
welcome to the world.
in all its blurry wonder.
there was a knock on the hospital room door.
I looked up at the 4 guys that flooded into my hospital room.
I knew the one all the way in the back.
or at least I think I did.
He looked familiar.
" I just wanted to come in and say goodbye " He spoke.
God damn it where do I know him!
" um, alright " I mumbled.
thats all I could come up with.
He laughed
" I'm Patrick. The guy that was your ' calmer downer ' while you were in labor "
AH HA!
I rubbed my head nervously laughing.
" sorry. I knew you looked familiar. I just couldnt figure out who you were "
He shrugged
" It's no problem...so wheres the little bundle of joy? " He asked
scanning the room til his eyes landed on the 6th body in the room a few feet from my bed.
I looked over
" Hes sleeping but you can go over if you want "
I laughed as the boys flooded over to Thaniel.
" he is SO cute " The guy with the fluffy brown hair damn near yelled.
" joe. shhhhh " Patrick hissed hitting his head
" Yeah joe. shhh " the guy with glasses mocked.
" hey hey boys. all of you shush. if you wake him up your putting him back to bed " I scolded.
god I was a mother all right.
" Sorry sorry. " Patrick mummbled
I couldn't help but smile.
" So whats his name? " the one I now knew as Joe asked.
" Thaniel. Thaniel Marcus "
Giggles poured from the one with the tattooed arms and girl jeans
" excuse me? what are you giggling at? " I snapped.
" Thaniel? what kind of name is that? " He replied. not even giving a hint of an emotion.
his mouth dropped as I jumped out a bed and hit him in the head with my plastic plate that had had my lunch on it.
" how dare you insult someones kids name like that. show a little respect wontcha? " I snapped.
his face was still in awe.
Patrick held back laughter at his friends face
and led me back to my bed.
" I'm sorry for him. He's mentally ill I swear " He smiled.
I melted.
something about this boy
made all my walls fall
and with every smile
this masked wonderer
makes me melt
viva la me!
