“Huh? Yeah I’m okay.” Philip mumbled.
“Why don’t you get some sleep? I’ll drive everyone to school. Angie will you keep an eye on AJ? He’s sleeping but I don’t know when he’ll wake up.”
Philip nodded and staggered to his room. Angie gave her a surprised look. She had never taken care of a younger sibling that was sick, usually Philip would do that. “I-I-I take care of h-him?”
“Yes. Is that alright?” She asked.
“Y-yes? I-I think I c-can do it.”
“Are you okay?” She asked.
She nodded and then shook her head.
“What’s wrong?” She moved to her.
“What if I mess up?”
“Baby you’re not going to mess up. I know you’re very capable,” she kissed her head. “I won’t be gone long and he’s asleep.”
“Promise? Promise you won’t leave me alone for a long time?”
“I promise. It will be twenty minutes or less. You can get Pip or call me if something happens.”
She breathed heavily and nodded. “Okay mom… I’ll do that..”
She smoothed her hair back. “Thank you, my brilliant girl.”
She nodded. “Yes momma.”
“Love you,” she smiled gently at her before straightening again.
She nodded with a smile and went to look after AJ.
