Dear Journal,        April 4th

In the morning Chris and I took Ruby in the hospital like the doctor said. The doctor check Ruby to see how she was doing. I didn’t sleep very well but did my best to be there. Chris and I were waiting in the waiting room before the Doctor came in to see us. I was nervous but wasn’t sure what was going on. If Ruby would make it or if we lose another daughter. That thought really made me worried. I didn’t want to lose another. I at a point where I thought I never be a mother. Special since of what happen the last time. I look up and thought it was odd how the doctor was looking at us. At first I wasn’t sure what to think of it.

Then he told us that everything was fine. It looked like Ruby fought off whatever came in her and that everything will be fine. I was really thankful that nothing was going on with Ruby. They did a few more test and then we headed straight home. At home, Chris took Ruby to her crib and I went to bed to rest a little more. Chris talked to Rick what the doctors had said. They talked for a long time. I got up when the baby cried. I feed her, change her and gave her lots of love. She is a beautiful baby. I love holding her and feel so much love from her. She made me feel good. She made me work hard and I felt great being with her.

I headed outsides and felt the breeze hitting my skin. Besides it being a day since I gave birth to Ruby, I felt really good. I then told Rick and Chris that I was going into town. They were a bit surprise but telling them that I was feeling pretty fine. They didn’t say anything more. Rick was out in the garden taking care of the plants. Chris decided to read the newspaper while he listen to see if Ruby needed anything.  I slowly walked out on the path. The same path I been on many times before. It was nice out. Besides it feeling a little cold since it was evening time before I headed into town. I had a basket with me ready to get some more fruits and vegetables. My mind was thinking about many different things as I was on the path. Not really thinking of what will happen from this.

In town. I met a few of my friends and neighbors who were out. We talked a while and they asked me about the baby. I told them that everyone will be fine and soon they will meet her. They were excited and I was happy for them to meet Ruby soon. I headed into the grocery store to get some fruits and vegetables. I then went to the bookstore before I saw a few more people I knew. We talked for a while and noticing it was getting a little dark out, said “goodbye” to my friends. Then I headed back into the path. If I thought of it now, I would of told Chris or Rick to get me but I didn’t think of it.

I was walking quietly, listening to the wind blow gently on me and looking at some pretty flowers as I walked by. I stop for a moment to smell one when I felt someone was watching me. I started to walk a little fast but then I felt it getting closer and closer. I  then ran faster but it was right behind me. It hot breath down my neck and I froze. I couldn’t move at all.

Then the thing spoke, “Hello beautiful creature. Where are you off so fast for?”

I felt it hand slowly touch my hair and I was breathing really hard. I couldn’t speak. I tired but nothing was coming out. From this the thing or person, whatever it was came closer to me. I tried to run but it was too fast and help me close to it. His breath was on my neck and I felt scared. Am I getting jumped or robbed? Whatever the case I didn’t know what else to do. I was getting really nervous.

It said, “You smell nice. This won’t hurt a bit.”

Before I knew what it met by that, I felt a sharp pain in my neck. I then scream and somehow past out. As my eyes slowly closing, I saw that he was leaving on the ground. I couldn’t tell what it was but I fell into a deep dark sleep.

~~

I hard a really loud noise coming from the woods. I got up and slowly went into the path. I walked a little ways until I saw Scarlet laying there. I was daze with what just happen. I came rushing to her and bent down to see how she was doing. She was still breathing but saw she got a mark on her neck. It look like a snake bite but I couldn’t tell. I picked up the fruits and vegetables. I rush into the house and place them on the table. Chris looked up and notice that I had the basket it but didn’t see Scarlet. He got up and asked me what was going on. Where Scarlet was and everything. I told him that she was on the ground and that she was bitten but I’m not sure what bite her. I told him that I would stay and watch Ruby while he go get Scarlet in.

I headed upstairs and watch Ruby. At least nothing bad happen to you. I snuggle her and she felt really nice. She just look up at me and wondering what was going on. I softly whisper that your mommy will be ok. She be ok. She be ok. O I hope she will be ok. Tears was slowly flowing down my face and I found myself holding my knees after I put Ruby back in the crib. I don’t know what I will leave with the fact that she will be gone. She is and always will be my best friend.

~~

Rick came rushing into the house and held the basket in his hands. I got up from my newspaper and asked him what happen. He told me what was going on. My heart was giving out and I didn’t know what to do. I just ran outside after Rick told me that he would watch Ruby. Thank goodness nothing happen to Ruby but I still worried about Scarlet. I ran as fast as I could. There she was still laying there. I picked her up and then carefully bought her back in the house. I place her on the bed and wrap her up with blankets. I then called the doctor and asked him to come over as soon as he could. I was really worried about her but I didn’t know what to do.  I sat on the chair and waited to see when the doctor would show off. It seems like hours, days, weeks, months and years before the doctor finally showed up. I went to the door and answered it. He came in and went upstairs. I showed him where Scarlet was at.

Rick came out of Ruby’s room and stared at me. He asked me if she would be ok but I didn’t know. I just told him that I wasn’t sure. We both stood there and waited to see what the doctor would say. He checked on her and looked to see what was going on. He saw that there were some bite marks on her neck but she was still alive. I was bless for that but I didn’t know when she would wake up. He told us that there wasn’t much for him to do but that she needed to sleep it off. Once she get over the attack she should be fine but he would have to do some test. He agreed that he won’t take her to the hospital but that he would come everyday to see if she would be ok. I nodded and then he left. He was going to the lab to do some test to see what was going on. I was worried. I didn’t know what to do. Since I never saw Scarlet look like this. I was worried but there was nothing I could do. I just went into the guest room and started to cry myself to sleep. There weren’t really much I could do.

 April 5th

I woke up not really feeling the greatest. The thoughts and feelings of last night really haunted me. I couldn’t really sleep. All I did was watch over Ruby and made sure she was fine. I kept wondering what was going on with Scarlet. Chris was at her side most of the night but slept in the guest room because he couldn’t take much of seeing her like that. She was still sleep. I worried she wouldn’t get anything to drink or eat but somehow I didn’t worry about that but the fact that she wasn’t up yet. I hope whatever going on she get better soon.

I decided to go out in the garden. It was a place I always like going too. Specially on times like this. I did my best not to think about her but it was hard. I didn’t like what was going on but there wasn’t much I could do. We saw the doctor once that day but he didn’t give us much of information of what was going on. All I felt was sadness in Chris’s eyes and I felt really bad. I pulled the weeds really hard to the point that I made my hands bleed.

I went insides the house and clean my hands. Chris and I talked for a while. We didn’t know at the time that Scarlet was slowly waking up but at the time we didn’t want to bother her. We headed upstairs and went into the room a little while later. When we saw her, we were surprise and over joyed that she was wake. She gave us a small smile but then she felt a little sick and had to rush to the bathroom. We took care of her and made sure she didn’t do too much. She then went back to sleep because she didn’t feel well. I check on Ruby and then went to bed.

~~

I was feeling really depressed. I mean really depressed. I didn’t want to eat or drink anything but I had too if I wanted to stay alive for my wife, my love, Scarlet. Even her name seem to make me feel sad. I felt weak and felt so tired. I didn’t go to work. I told them that some stuff was going on with my wife and they understood. I didn’t care if I worked or not. I mainly slept in the guest room because I couldn’t deal with what was going on with my wife. Ruby would cry and I would take care of her. I think she felt something was up but I couldn’t tell. She was still a baby and not knowing what was going on. She kept me going even if I didn’t want too.

I got something to drink. I still wouldn’t eat anything. Rick didn’t force me to do anything. He was just as upset as I was. We were all to school together. Laughing and enjoy each other company. He was there for me and help me to understand that she really liked me. While he did the same for her. I was glad to have my best friend but it was hard on both of us. I watch some TV or read the newspaper. I didn’t feel like doing anything else. I watch Rick a little working in the garden. He hurt his hand while gardening but took care of his wounds. We talked for a while. We didn’t know that Scarlet would be up.

Then we went up to see how she was doing. She been sleeping a lot lately. Not drinking or eating. I didn’t know if it was good thing or not. We saw the doctor once but he didn’t say much. He couldn’t tell what was going on. Still taking some test and telling us he would be back tomorrow. It felt like a waste to me. He not even doing his job, I thought to myself but we went into the room. When we saw that she was wake. I was surprise and didn’t know what to do. I just sat down next to her and held her close. Rick came by and gave her a hug and he was off. I was there with her. She didn’t feel good. She kept going to the bathroom. We took it slow when it came to food and water. She then went back to sleep. I was worried she won’t wake up but I knew she would be fine.

I laid down next to her and kept her close to me. I kiss your forehead before I went to sleep. Whispering softly in her ear, I love you Scarlet. She softly whisper back saying, I love you too Chris.
