Tangled Ties

Chapter 27: A day with my family

Dedicated to my regular readers. 

"Good morning my Princess" Papa woke me up kissing on my forehead.

"Good morning papa..." I hugged him.

"Did you sleep well?" He asked, caressing my head.

I nodded and stretched my body. Papa smiled and walked towards the cradle and checked if Ellie was awake.

It's just a dream. It'll disappear as soon as I wake up.

"Luna, honey get up." Mama entered the room.

This dream feels so real.

"Go Lulu freshen up." Papa said, lifting Ellie in his arms.

I nodded and went to the bathroom. I sat on the toilet and thought why my dream was still not over.

I remember that man said I couldn't go to the afterlife and then Abigail denied to go. Then she became more powerful. Then she told me to sleep. Then what?

Then suddenly Abigail appeared in front of me.

"Hey! You should have knocked!" I shouted and Abigail covered my mouth with her palm "Sshh"

"Lulu, are you okay?" Papa asked from outside.

"Yes papa, I just saw a spider." Abigail replied in my voice.

"Why would a spider knock?" Papa started laughing.

"Anyway, we are waiting for you for breakfast." Papa added.

"Okay papa" Abigail again replied in my voice.

"Just because it's a dream doesn't mean you can come inside bathroom using your powers." I managed to say.

"Stupid! It's not a dream. It is a reality." Abigail explained.

"Did you make me alive with your new powers?" I asked curiously.

"Are you crazy?" Abigail said in a poker face.

"Then how is this reality?" I asked.

"Whatever it's happening is happening for real for both you and your family. But later your family members will think it was just a dream." Abigail explained.

"How is this possible?" I asked.

"My new powers." Abigail blinked.

"Now, live this day with your family as you want. Do whatever you want." Abigail said caressing my head.

"Okay!" I nodded and she disappeared.

I did my morning rituals and went to my room. I was living a day as Luna with mama, papa and Ellie. I opened my drawer and picked my favorite white dress. I wore that and went to the kitchen.

"My baby is looking so beautiful today." Mama said as I sat beside her.

"Because I'm my mama's daughter." I blinked at her.

"I am jealous now." Papa added pouring cornflakes on the bowl.

"I love you papa; I love you mama." I said out of blue. I was getting emotional. I was having breakfast with them after a year and it was for the last time.

"Are you okay Lulu?" Mama asked, noticing the tears in my eyes.

"I am so grateful to have you guys in my life." I said making them choke. Maybe they weren't expecting that.

"And we are grateful to have you." Papa kissed on my forehead.

"What do you want to do today?" Papa asked, taking a sip of tea.
