Theo P.O.V.
-Day of the Doctor Visit. -
Sage comes into my office holding a teddy bear, walking right to my table, grabbing Sage, holding her on my lap. She's been a lot quiet for the last couple of days, and when I ask her something, she answers it but nothing after that.
I wondered if it had anything to do with Zinnia. I said something to freak out, Sage, but I didn't hear anything while having my fun time. Kissing her head, she holds onto my shirt laying her head on my chest.
Every time I look inside Sage's mind, she thinks of nothing or just thinking of different colours. Well, I kind of hope she will start talking more after this Doctor visit.
I am holding Sage up, carrying her to the kitchen. The Doctor should be here soon. I want to make sure she eats a little. Putting her in her high chair, she straps on everything.
"Do you want Berries and yogurt, baby girl?"
"Yes, daddy"
I'm walking inside, putting everything together, as I hear Sage humming to herself. Sage always sings to herself, or even she is watching tv, she will sing along.
I asked her if she could sing for me once, but she got all shy and started stuttering every word. I had to calm her down before she started having a complete breakdown, but she calmed down in the end.
I might need to talk to the Doctor about that as well. I don't want to be picked on when she goes to daycare or only talks with Zinnia, which reminds me. I need to call my boss and set up that play date with them. I wonder if Sage will take a liking to his little.
That would be interesting in every way, but he will need to keep his hands away or else. Maybe I should scare him before he tries anything on Sage?
The doorbell rings, making me snap out of thought. Putting the bowl down in front of Sage, I walk to the door seeing Doctor Anne Heart. She works mainly with little ones, loving the cuteness and how caring they can be.
"Hello Anne Heart"
"Hello, Theo Wilson. I'm here to see your little, not you."
"You are lucky that I let you call my last name like that, Anne, or I would have killed you right where you stand."
"Please, you can't kill an old friend who doesn't work for that family."
"True, come inside before Owen wants to take you to his bedroom."
She laughs and walks inside with her bag. Closing the door, I show her to the dining room. Stepping inside, Sage has raspberry, blueberries and strawberries all over her mouth, hair and clothes.
Sage didn't even touch yogurt. She just picked around it and went right for the berries. Oh, all days, she wants to be messy with her food.
"I'm sorry about this Anne, Just let me get her cleaned up before you take a look."
"It's alright, but could I come with you right away? I want to start with a Physical exam first."
"Of course, please follow me. And you come with here."
I pull her out of the high chair, carrying her to the bedroom as Anne walks behind me. "So Theo, how does it feel to be a caregiver now?"
Anne grew up with Owen and me. We all went to different ways after we turned 20 but made sure to keep in touch with Anne. She was always nosy with everything we did, or she would come right out to meet us to see what was going on for herself.
"It's different, but I love my job of taking care of Sage. She will be starting daycare half days soon."
"That's good, remember Theo, that I'm always here if you guys need help with anything. Even with your family acting up and Owens."
Opening Sage's bedroom door, I lay her down on the changing table, pulling off her clothes as I listen to Anne.
"Listen, I know you like to keep to yourselves, but I'm also here to help anytime. What happened in the past is in the past."
"Anne, I don't give a s**t about the past you. If I did, why would I ask for you and not another doctor? Owen and I are on our own for a reason Anne, be happy you got a family that loves you."
That is the truth. Anne can't for once just shut up and let us take a step without breathing down our necks. One good thing is if we move away, Anne can't get the time to leave or find us right away.
I am throwing Sage's clothes inside the basket, pulling out a bunny Onesie. It is a hoodie with long bunny ears. "Are you going to look at her now? I don't want Sage to get sick."
Anne starts exams Sage's body, pushing different places and telling Sage to breathe. Sage was doing an excellent job of doing what Anne asked, other than hitting Anne's hand when she pushed a little too hard on Sage.
"You are doing such a great job, Sage. We are halfway there, my dear Sage."
Anne turns to look at me. "Does she eat a lot?"
"No, sometimes she can't finish what's on her plate."
Anne nods her head, picking up Sage and sitting her up on the changing table. I don't know what doctors look for, but it's cool to watch and see how in the zone they are.
"Alright, she might need to have more snacks during the day to help with her eating disorder. And from the looks of it, she might need help with her back."
Anne steps away from the changing table. I step next to the table and lay Sage down, putting on her bunny onesie. Sage eyes look to mine, with Confusion in her eyes.
"What's wrong with her back?"
"I'm not 100% sure right now, and I don't want to tell you something that might not even be there. Come in for an X-ray next week. Then I can see what we are dealing with."
Fuck, this is the last thing I need. I can't watch Sage feel all that pain. If she needs surgery, then she can't move around that much, making her upset f**k. Just when I thought we had three steps ahead.
"Don't worry, Theo, I want to make sure she back is alright. Nothing to worry too much."
"Easy to say. Please do the rest of the things I asked"
1 hour later.
"Alright, the tracking is out, and the blood tests will have come back in five days."
We had to get Sage to pass out to do everything and get what we needed. Now is just the waiting game to see if she is good to drink. I want to drink from her badly. I hope she doesn't cut her self or I might wish to bit from her.
The bedroom door swings open and runs in Zinnia, running right for Sage's crib. Zinnia pulls on the bars, calling her name. Owen walks in with a smile.
"She's been asking for Sage all morning. Sorry about that, Theo"
"It's alright."
Owen picks Zinnia up, but Zinnia wants to get inside the crib with Sage. Anne laughs and steps forward to both of them, smiling at Zinnia.
"Look at you, little one. My name is Anne, and I'm here to look after you both."
Zinnia looks at Anne, giving her the dirtiest look I have ever seen. Her eyes are full of hate. What happened, Zinnia?
"Zinnia, it's alright. You don't need to be mean," Owen says.
2 hours later.
Zinnia was fighting the whole time and wouldn't go to sleep after getting her pills. She even tried to bite Owen when he held her down.
For thanks gods, Sage is shy and would instead not look at anyone in the eyes. I feel bad for Owen, but then again, he chose Zinnia.
Owen lays her down next to Sage, covering them both with blankets. We all walk out of the room inside the kitchen. I pour a glass of blood for the three of us.
"I see Zinnia is a fighter, and Sage is the shy friend. But yet both daddy's are the same in many ways." Anne says.
"At least my little loves others littles and does not want to take down everyone," Owen bites back.
"Hey! My little is doing a lot better."
Anne has had a little for ten years now, and when Anne first got her, she would do anything to fight other littles. She didn't take too well when she heard her mommy works with them all the time, but I guess they have been working on that part.
"Anyways, what do you guys say with a little fun now the kids are asleep?"
"No thanks, I don't want whatever you picked up from working with those wolfs. And besides"
Owen steps from behind me, pouring the blood down my white shirt and wrapping his arm around my shoulder, looking at Anne.
"Theo can give me everything I want in the bedroom and knows how dirty I like to become," Owen smiles.
"What are you guys sleeping with each other now?"
Why does Owen have to pull this on me? Then I have to change my shirt before waking up Sage.
"You see, Anne, I love Theo. He is forever going to be mine and not yours. Whatever you try or going to try, don't."
And this is where I want to kill Owen and Anne for treating me like some toy. They act like I'm not in the room with them.
"Shut up, Owen. You are just mad that I made the first move on him. You want to show him off like he's your god."
Owen laughs, bringing his head close to my neck. "Haha, Anne. He is my god, and he proved it last night, showing where my place is"
Now I know where Zinnia gets everything from. Owen shows her how to act up. My poor baby Sage, I feel bad that she is around a person like this.
"Two of you stop before the kids wake up, or else," I say. I am trying to push Owen's head away.
"Only if you show me my place, Master, and get that hoe out of here."
"I mean it, Owen, or I'm going to make sure you can't sit for at least three days."
"OH! PLEASE MASTER" Owen screams, hugging me from behind.
Someone is going to die from the loss of blood. Remember Theo. Sage will get scared from seeing too much blood. She is my baby girl.
