Carina POV

I see Maya standing by Layla lost in her thoughts. I tap her shoulder and she jumps. She looks at me and when I see her face I stand up and wrap my arms around her and I know what she is thinking because she had that same look on her face when she told me she felt like a horrible mother.

"Bella, stop it! You are an amazing mama, you are the best mama this bambina could have. Stop doubting it, " I whisper in her ear.

I look over at Layla and she is trying to figure out who I am. I just smile at her and continue to comfort Maya.

Layla POV

I see a strange woman hugging my mommy and I don't like it because that's my mommy and she is hugging her different than how Aunty Andy hugs mommy.

I turn over and start to quietly cry.

The strange lady comes over to me and I feel her hand on my shoulder.

"Bambina, what's wrong? " She asks. I shrug off her hand and ignore her as I continue to cry.

I was right mommy hates me because I didn't tell her and she said she would never hate me but she does and I need mommy right now.

"My love, what's wrong?" I hear mommy ask but I ignore her question.

She comes over to the side I am facing and sits in front of me with a worried look that is asking what's wrong.

"You don't love me anymore," I say

"and why would you say that? " She says and I see a tear stream down her face.

"Because you hug other people instead of hugging me and I need you," I say as I continue to cry.

I see her stand up and walk.  I thought she was walking off but then I felt her wrap her arms around my back.

"Baby, I love you with all my heart and I always will. The woman you saw, Carina, she was hugging me to comfort me because I was scared I was gonna lose you and I felt like I didn't protect you," She says and I hear her voice cracking.

I slowly turn over and wrap my arms around her neck and hold her close.

"Mommy I love you so much and I am sorry I didn't tell you what was happening," I say.

We spend the rest of the night watching movies and cuddling but I can't help but think about the lady from earlier.
