LESSONS FOR THE FUTURE

"Rise and shine sleepy head" she cooed opening the windows.

He stirred in his sleep, he was loving being curled up in cotton sheets, he didn't really want to wake up..

"Come on, we have a full day ahead of us," she insisted.

"Is Jerry coming to teach me today?," What day was it?, he couldn't keep track last night, he was too busy building his toy plane, one Lucius helped him build, he tried to finish the rest all by himself, it was so cool he smiled to himself.

"Nooo!" Martha said slowly confused "Don't you remember? that it's the start of the summer holidays?"

"Oh yeah!," Bruce said, suddenly feeling awake, pumping his fist in the air "YESSS!"

He looked at his Mum, observing her for a minute, she was all dressed in a white t shirt, a light grey sweat pants and runners, with her hair tied up in a messy bun. Hmmm! he got curious "Why are you dressed like that?"

"It's such a nice day outside, I thought I'd go for a brisk walk," she inspected his suspicious look, she hadn't exercised in ages. 'Could be an opening for mother/son time' "Would you care to join me darling?." Her little man was growing up fast, she wished she could keep him small a bit longer, but life like always has different plans.

He's crystal blue eyes lit up, as did his smile, "Sure, can I ride my bike?."

She returned the smile " Of course you can, just put these on," she tossed him, his own sweat pants and t-shirt "you can shower later, we'll have lunch before I drop you at Dad's lab, I also have some things to work on."

"Like what?," he asked, his father and he would always spend time in the afternoon in his father's lab, there were so much things he's learnt and lately his been fascinated with the work that Lucius did too, he was Dad's senior engineer. But with his Mum's work all he knew was that she was in charge of looking after the Children's Orphanages, she took him with her sometimes on the rare occasions. The eyes of the children in the Orphanages always haunted him, when he was back home on those occasions he'd have nightmares at night.. 'Was that why Mum didn't take me any more? Hmmmm!'

She shuffled the mop of waves on his head "Nothing to worry your little head about my darling boy." He was sensitive, so sensitive just like his father... but the things going on at the Orphanages are way too dark for his young mind, 'my isn't innocence bliss?'

The brisk walk over the grounds of the manor was good, she forgot how exercising could loosen her mind. 'Have to include it more often in my schedules, it may help me get pregnant by being healthier, that is if I'm not already god knows we've been trying... Besides could be another thing for me to do with Bruce'. She watched him on his bike, she stubbornly insisted he wore his helmet, which he as usual try to stubbornly tell her that he was too smart to fall off a bike.. 'Where does that stubbornness come from? Not me! It's definitely from Thomas, yes definitely'.
