Lunchtime came and I, Alex, and Alfie headed home. We got off the car when we reached the mansion and walked towards the entrance.
I was walking when I realized that it was only me and Alex walking. The little guy isn't with us. I turned around to see that he was looking at the house without moving his legs further. I looked at Alex and we both went toward him. We both squatted down to be at his level.
" What happened, Alfie?" I asked him.
" Mommy, I think I should go back to the hospital. I am being a burden to both of you." he said and I touched his head.
" What are you saying? You aren't a burden. I was the one who wanted to take you in with me until your mother is found. And, you have just called me 'Mommy'. How can a child be a burden to his parents?" I said to him and pulled him closer.
