A Mother's Love.

Beyoncé: 10:00.A.M April 3rd.

I fluttered my eyes opened slowly clearing my vision. I heard soft snores in my right ear and I looked down seeing Zora sleep. Strands of her curly hair falling from her bun. Her eye lashes feathering from her eye lids. Her mouth pursed and she breathed through her nose. I smiled and leaned down kissing her head before I got up.

I went to the bathroom and looked in the mirror satisfied with the sleep I got . I looked good, I had a glow my eyes were clear of bangs and I felt good. Knowing me and my baby girl were getting somewhere I was started to feel free. Free from the drama free from the yelling the fights the hurtful words I felt nice.

I did my hygiene and got dressed quietly trying not to wake up Zora. After I was finished I went downstairs to begans some breakfast. Yes I can cook I ended having to learn when I got her back in my care.

I decided I'd make French toast, bacon and eggs. I went to got check on her to make sure she was okay that she would wake up to me not being in the bed. As I got closer I seen her scrunching her face in her sleep. I tilted my head and looked concerned.

I kissed her head and saw she relaxed her face. My heart melted that my touch has effects on her. I went back downstairs to finish cooking. The food was done and I began to make her plate.

"Mommy!" I heard my baby call for me. I looked up

"In the kitchen." I heard her footsteps respond and she came closer to me. I looked at her but she looked tired and sick.

"My head hurts" I sat her plate down and rushed to her. I saw she was a bit sweaty. I palm s her head and cheeks with the back of my hand.

"Oh baby you have a fever." I coped sadly. "How about you eat then you can go lay down in your bed" she shook her head

"No I'm getting back in your bed"she whined I shook my head immediately. I'll be damned if I get sick I got stuff to do especially for work

"No baby I can't get sick." I shook my head. She huffed and rolled her eyes. I don't have time for the attitude and we're not going back to how we were. It's time for her to realize I'm the mother not one of her friends

"Hey knock it off now!" I said firm. She soften her face and nodded looking down with sadness. My heart melted and I felt bad.

"I'm sorry baby you can lay back in my bed I'll just change the sheets." She looked up at me.

"I just wanted to lay with you again it feels nice to do that since I never got to growing up since we weren't together" I felt my heart flutter with love but my feelings fill with guilt. She's trying to make up for the lost time we had and I pushed her away.

"Oh baby girl I'm so sorry I was being selfish." I cupped her chin and kissed her head.

"No it's fine I'm just being a brat." She stood up walking away. I wanted tot stop her but I knew it would only be pointless. When she's upset or vulnerable she shuts down. I only sighed and turned back around looking at the food. I closed my eyes and shook my head.

" so much for a nice breakfast." I scoffed shaking my head picking up both plates. I was about to wrap them up until my phone interrupted my movements. I grabbed my phone and saw it was mama making me swipe over.

"Hey mama." I called out still moving through your the kitchen.

"Hey baby I was calling to let you know I wanted to have brunch with everybody at my house later on today at 12:30." I nodded

"Ok I'll be there with Zora"

"Yeah— and how are you two doing after that night." I chuckled at the memory.
