The bright sunlight penetrating the inside of the room woke me up out of my peaceful slumber. I groaned as I sat up weakly and looked around. I frowned as I noticed that Syn wasn't in bed, in his place was a small note and I sighed.
Quickly picking it up, I opened it and read it:
I had to go to Hell for something. I'll be home late. I called Cleo to keep you company and she's downstairs. My card is on the dresser. If you won't buy anything for yourself, buy it for the baby. Have fun, Princess.
With a smile at the caring gesture, I hesitantly got myself out of bed and walked to the bathroom. I took a quick shower and got dressed and walked downstairs. When I reached the bottom of the stairs, Cleo looked up at me from the couch and grinned.
"Hey," I said as I rushed over to her. I practically threw myself onto her as I hugged her and she laughed. "I missed you."
"You saw me yesterday," she said in an amused voice.
"Still," I said as I removed myself from her arms and sat on the couch.
"You kept the baby," she said with a smile.
"I did."
"I'm glad," she said sweetly.
"You wanted me to keep it?"
"I did. But I didn't want to make you sad or anything. It was your decision."
I nodded and sighed as memories of what I almost did yesterday passed my mind.
"Hey," she said as she noticed my frown. "We're going to have fun today, okay?"
"Okay," I said softly.
She clapped her hands and stood up quickly. "I made breakfast."
"You said we were going to have fun, not die," I teased.
She waved her hands in dismissal and smiled at me. "Come on, I've been taking classes."
With a smile, I followed her to the kitchen and sat down on one of the stools. The counter was filled with waffles, eggs and bacon, and various types of fruit. As I looked at it and took in the delicious smell, I felt a small kick from inside my stomach.
Yeah, I'm hungry too sweetie.
"Dig in," Cleo said as she gestured towards the food.
I looked at her nervously as she passed me a fork. She clasped her hands under her chin as she watched me intently. With a sigh, I took a few eggs onto the fork and put them into my mouth.
