Tears slid down my cheeks, and I choked back a cry. My
own voice cracked as I continued to sing the rest of the
lullaby.
He pulled me tighter into his body, and I wrapped my
arms around his shoulders, holding him to me. I
remembered how it was, coming out of my panic attacks,
the adrenaline rushing away as I came back to the present.
Everything would hurt, and I’d always feel so lost.
This was Maddox right now.
So, I held him.
Because he needed to be held, even if he didn’t say the
words.
He needed me.
Maddox trembled in my arms, his whole body shaking
with his silent cries and tremors. As the lullaby came to an
end, I pressed my lips against his cheek. “You’re going to
be okay, Maddox. I got you.”
Thump – thump – thump.
There was a hollow ache in the pit of my stomach.
I embraced him.
He didn’t let go.
His breathing smoothed out, and his pounding heart
slowed.
“I got you,” I soothed, running my fingers through his
soft hair.
His arms clenched around me, and he nuzzled his nose
into my neck. Hold me tighter, he said without any words.
I got you.
