That was what he was most worried about.
In the afternoon, Meredith still returned to work. After work, she returned home to pick Nia up before heading to the hospital to see Josiah.
Nia insisted on getting her Daddy some desserts. She even picked what she thought was the best flavor, strawberry flavored.
