Lena's: POV
I woke up to Francesca screaming
Lena got up from the recliner chair where I was sleeping at. Baby can you please open up your eyes for mommy Lena says to Francesca who had tears streaming down her face, it's okay mommy has you now. Can you tell me what the dream was about, Lena waits till Francesca calms down some
Mommy he told me he was coming back for me, it felt so real mommy he had the most scariest eyes . Francesca said, princess he's locked up and he'll have to go through me and momma
Lena tries to reassure her daughter the man was in jail, do you want me to call the nurse so she can give you something to help you sleep huh Lena asks. Mommy can you lay down with me, and sing me that song you use to sing to me when I was a baby. Francesca States, ok sweetie Lena gets up on the bed. Francesca lies her head on my chest, as I began singing you are my sunshine. I know she will have many more nightmares, Dr. Hathaway warned us about. I never wanted this for neither one of my children, to be hurt, Stef and I were talking earlier about having Brandon come out for a visit. I'm not sure if that's such a good idea, considering Francesca State at the moment. It's not that I don't want him to come
Francesca really needs us. I think back to the conversation with Dr. Jennings, some of the things she mentioned. Hit to close to home
I don't want him feeling like where pushing him to the side, it might be a little overwhelming for Francesca
Facetime will probably be better for now. Francesca needed our undivided attention, some may think l'm a horrible mother for not having Brandon come. I love him so much
But l understand he made a mistake about withholding information from us. He waited five weeks to tell Stef and I about the man who kidnapped his baby sister, l can't look at him knowing he kept important information from us. I'm trying to figure why he didn't come forward when it first happened. This isn't about playing favorites, l love Francesca and Brandon the same
I look at Francesca who is asleep
I know if I move from the bed she's gonna wake up. That nurse reign is something else, my mind is so scattered. About everything that happened with Francesca and mother dying. I have yet to grieve like a normal person. Even though my mom and I had a complicated relationship
I still loved her, we may have saw eye to eye on certain things. My therapist said it will take time for me to heal
I think I kept myself busy so I wouldn't have to deal with her passing.
