Sanity (Part two of Adopted)

Phone Call

Crystal and I exchanged glances.

"Your not her mother..."

"Yes I am"

Crystal rolled her eyes and looked back at her.

"Prove it "

"That's Elizabeth, I have a son named Sonny. I had a husband. Not anymore..." She trailed off.

"So I can call you....mother?"

She nodded.

"So that means Sonny has a mother!"

She nodded again, "but that also means that you killed my husband."

I heart sank.

Crystal got up. "Come on Ellie, we don't have any time for this weirdo..."

I got up and glanced at her one last time. She does look a lot like Sonny..... a lot like him.

I walked down the sidewalk as Crystal looked down and yelped a little.

She is almost eight months ...

"Are you okay? "

Crystal nodded and walked me to my apartment.

"Are you sure your okay?"

Crystal nodded again. "Bye Ellie, see you Sunday"

I nodded and waved and walked in the apartment. Sonny was sleeping on his chair leaning on the desk where he was working on paying for the apartment. Or trying to get a smaller one.

I closed his bedroom door and went in my bedroom.

Its midnight...I should probably get to bed but I couldn't. I felt like something was going to happen.

I was right.

The phone rang.
