In all this time since I had Hayley, there had only been 2 people who had seen her struggle with her disability. Over the years, it had gotten better for her and manageable but things still got challenging now and again depending on various factors. Besides Adam and Nancy, no one else had even been aware that she was challenged in any way.

She didn’t show it and she was capable of understanding but there had been rare occasions where. she didn’t have the patience for it and today was one of those days.

Hayley whined and squealed at her helplessness but I knew exactly why she was fussy today. With all the excitement of the day and her being buzzed with Dante being around, she didn’t want him to see her like this neither did she want this to come in the way of her ending off their meeting for today on a good note.

“It’s alright, Hayley. Remember, mama is here and I

ere and I can carry you inside. It’s okay. I whispered calmly to her while Dante just stood watching Hayley in distress not knowing how to help her.

My motherly protective instinct kicked in and I didn’t want my baby to be looked at like a wounded puppy.

“No! I want to do it myself.” She insisted, hitting her balled fists against the leather seats.

I know you do but allow mama to help you this one time. I tried to reason with her darting my eyes to Dante who seemed to be lost in his own thought.

I didn’t understand why he stood here. It only placed more pressure on Hayley to perform when she couldn’t. Even if she wanted to give in and let me carry her, she wouldn’t because Dante was right there.

“No! no. No!” She cried, her b*dy jerking in frustration as she tried to kick her legs over again but all it could manage was a small movement at her ankles.

“You want to it by yourself? Come.” Dante spoke causing both Hayley and I to look up at him. “I won’t carry you but I will hold your hand.” He said gently then waited for Hayley to think it over.

“You don’t understand. Her legs are not going to-“I tried to explain to him but he cut me off.

“Let Hayley decide then the rest can be figured out.” He tried to remain calm in front of Hayley but I saw the heat in his eyes at me undermining him.

We both looked back at Hayley, saw how overwhelmed she was, but her resolve had crumbled.

She didn’t say a word but just notided to Dante slowly. Dante squared his shoulders before asking

Dante helped her out of the car by supporting her under her arms before he placed her feet to the ground but not quiet. instead of the ground, he placed her feet on to his shoes then lowered her enough until her foot was flush to the top of his shoes. He didn’t care that there was no dust and d*rty in his fine Italian shoes as he moved his right leg then left giving Hayley the illusion and feel like she was walking making her not entirely helpless.
