Family Troubles

~OSCAR'S POV~

"Jane, what the hell am I supposed to do? She's in a fucking mental hospital." It's been 2 days since I'd heard about Alexis and her incident. "Oscar, honey, calm down. It will be ok." Jane gently rubbed my shoulder, while feeding the baby. "Calm down? How the fuck do I just calm down? My little sister is in a god damn hospital!" I couldn't help but raise my voice. Not only in anger, but in panic. Alexis has never acted like this before. She's so strong and resilient. How could something like this happen? Was she sick? Jane looked over at me, the slightest bit of pain clouded her blue eyes.

"Look, I know you're scared, but that's no reason to start yelling at me. I'm scared too! She's one of my best friends." Jane began to rock the baby slowly in her arms. Our sudden outburst had scared Jade. I walked over to Jane and kissed the top of her head. I gently removed the little girl from her arms. "I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to yell at you. I'm just terrified. Why did this shit have to happen?" I buried my face into the crook of Jane's neck, to hide my sobbing. "Hey, sweetheart, it's ok. It'll all be ok. Alexis is tough, she can make it through this. I know she can." God, what would I do without her. She gently ran her fingers through my hair. She knew that's what calms me down the most.

After just a few minutes of crying into my wife's arms, we laid Jade down in her crib. I changed into a white t-shirt and some basketball shorts. I laid down in bed, waiting for Jane to lay down next to me. Jane cuddled up next to me and planted soft kisses on my neck. "I love you, baby." I heard her adorable giggle. She then looked up at me, her face red from blushing. "I love you too, Oscar." I inched my face closer to hers, until she filled the space left between us. God damn, every time we kiss, I feel like I'm a teenager again. I deepened the kiss and lightly bit her bottom lip. Instead of opening her mouth, she pulled away. "Nice try, mister! Maybe another time though." She said, with a wink. Damn it.

(Sorry this was such a short chapter! Writers block is getting the best of me and I had lost my power a few days ago. Fortunately, it is back! I will start writing chapter 3 and it will be up soon! ~ Lyds💙)
