Chapter 2
"When will Daddy be back?" Skye asked about two
weeks after Kevin left.
"He has only been gone two weeks. He will be back next week. They made this a short tour."
"Man, that's too long." Skye said in between yawns.
"You've been so tired lately. Are you feeling ok?"
"Yeah, just tired." Skye said as she walked to the coach. She never missed Pokémon. Before Jaime knew it, Skye was asleep. Then the phone rang.
"It must be Kevin" Jaime thought. She slowly walked over to answer the phone.
"Hi Kevin!"
"How do you always do that?" he answered.
"I don't know. So how is the tour."
"It's short, thank god for that. Otherwise, things are great. How are things at home?"
"Ok. Skye is always asking about when you're coming home."
"Speaking of Skye.
"I swear Kevin Scott Richardson you only call to talk to her. You never want to talk to me."
"I'm sorry honey. She was just so upset when I left."
"It's ok. She's asleep anyway.'
"Again? Everytime I call."
"I know. Listen I got to go."
"You yell at me for not talking to you, but you always got to go. Geesh. Well, anyway I'll call you tomorrow."
"I love you."
"I love you too. Tell Skye I love her."
"I will. Bye."
"Bye." They both hung up wishing they were with each other. Jaime walked over and picked Skye up. She carried her to her room. Jaime checked her temperature and she was running a fever.
Later that night Skye went into Kevin and Jaime's room to sleep. She didn't eat dinner and she slept all night. Jaime spent most of her night watching Skye sleep.
"What's wrong with you baby? Why are you so tired? I wish Kevin was here." She thought over and over all night. Jaime soon fell asleep. For the next week Skye seemed to be getting better. Yet inside she could feel something wasn't right.
