Chapter: Chapter FiveCassie's povI felt tiny hands on my face making me jerk up from bed. To my surprise, it was Josh“Mummy,” his blue eyes peered into mine; he looked at me like I was a God or something. The admiration in the eyes of my very own son is something that keeps me strong every day.“You're awake already, what about Karin?”“Mum Karin took my milk” he suddenly started whining“Then take hers” I squinted“No….eww”The way his face went when he said those words seriously cracked me up. I climbed down my bed, assisted him down then we both went to the living room.“Mummy good morning!” Karin jumped off her chair to hug me.“Sweetie pie, you look so bright this morning.
