❝Mother-daughter bonding time❞

.•*•.

"My only daughter, my child. Please think of this better. Don't tell me that you're going to marry a man you don't love nor know for that matter" My mother says to me. She took me to my room to talk with me about this. I shake my head. "I do know him. His name is Ace" I tell her but she gives me a soft look. I don't look at her. In fact, I look anywhere but her. I've always been truthful to my mother about everything and if she gives me the look that will make me tell her the truth, I won't be able to hold back.

Always when she did give me that look when I was younger, I had to tell her. Something about that look made me tell her everything and I don't even know what it was about it. She takes my hand, but I refuse to look at her. "I know that you know his name and who he is. But, you don't love him. What if he doesn't treat you right? You need someone to treat you like the queen that you are, Davina" She tells me.

She's always told me that when I grew up, I would marry my Prince Charming and live happily ever after. That is, if she approves of him and he treats me right because I'm sick and I'm fragile and I'm not like everyone else. "Have I ever told you how I met your father?" She asks me and I nod. "I think you have said that about a million times because you like to gloat about it" I say. My mother laughs and takes my other hand in hers and simply holds them together but doesn't say anything.

My mom and dad have been in love longer than I know and then they had Leo and me. I look at the wall. Should we paint it? It has been this way for some time. But, painting it would mean time and energy and besides I think that I will be moving out here. I'm going to get married and then I will have to move out of here to live with my husband. Why can't he just move here? Yes, he's going to move here. This is my home and if he wants me to be his wife then he will move here.

My mother's laugher pulls me back towards her and I look into her eyes, thank the world that the look is not there. "There you are" She says. "Your father and I met when I threw soda at him when I was waiting at a diner for my friend. He sat in the table beside mine. Beside him his friend had called me a hottie so I threw my soda which I had ordered myself at his friend but it had hit him instead. The worst part was that I could not even have a sip of that soda. It went to waste" She says.

"All that your father did was apologize on behalf of his friend and he payed for a new soda to be brought to me. He did not even care that he was drenched in it. But, I denied it and told him that if he wanted to hang around boys such as his friend, then I would not want to be around him because he's just as disgusting. So, I left the diner and went home. I did not think that I would ever see him again" My mom says.

"Until I went to work the next day and he the son of my boss" She says. I know the story. I think everyone knows the story. After that, she had ignored him and he did everything that he could to talk to her. Sooner or later she forgave him and they started to date and then she asked him to marry her one day when she took him out on a date. They have so many years to say and I've always wanted to have something like that. "Mom?" I ask her once she has finished her story, which I did not listen to, at least not the last part anyway.

Besides, I've heard the story so many times before. I look at her and she nods. "Do you ever regret having me?" I ask her. "One of us wasn't planned and I think it was me" I say. When they got married, they had Leo and I two years later. They did not have any other children so it's just Leo and I. She sighs and smiles and shakes her head. "No. My love. I will never regret having you. You're the light of my life" She says.

"We planned to have a baby and the surprise to having two was even more and the love grew. I carried the two of you and I felt love for you both. But, between the two of us, I've always felt more connected to you. Because, you got my best genes" She says and winks at me. I laugh. I hug her. At least I know that my mother does not regret having me. "I thought she got my best genes" My father says and both of us look to see him standing by the threshold and Leo behind him.

He walks inside. "I got both of your best genes" I tell them and smile at them. I know for a fact that I must have got a faulty gene somewhere because I've been told that this might have been genetic what I have. This sickness that makes me so different. As I have been this way from the moment that I was born. "At least we know that our darling is our best creation. Sorry, Leo, you come close second" My mother says and I look at Leo roll his eyes but there is a smile on his face. He walks over to us and all four of us hug. Our little family.
