One More Time ( Becky x Freen )

Chapter 27

The rest of the weekend went by quicker than they wanted. Even Freen didn't feel like it was enough to be two days. Saturday was dedicated to their short trip to the zoo, and Sunday was such a nice day that they got to spend the day relaxed but busy with affection and closeness to each other.

They did have a really nice weekend though. When the weekend was over, everyone went back to their normal routines on Monday. Freen was back at work, and Becky waited for Finn to come home from school at 2PM and they did their normal activities after that. At 7PM, Araya was finally there to pick up her daughter, but before she got home, she drove Freen and Finn back to her apartment.

"Bye angel baby, I'll see you tomorrow, na?" Becky said to Finn as she gave him a hug and a kiss on the cheek.

"Bye Mommy, I'll miss you."  Finn replied, snuggling into his Mommy's neck.

Sensing that Finn wasn't going to pull away from the hug, she said again. "Now you have to let me go, so I can go home and come back tomorrow, baby."

"I know..." He sighed, slowly letting go of his hands around his Mommy's neck to let go. "I love you, Mommy..."

"I love you too, angel baby..." She gave her son one last kiss.

This kind of scene always repeated itself every time Becky went home. Freen knew how hard it was for her son to let go of his Mommy, even though he knew they were going to see each other the next day. It was getting harder day by day, but that was all they could do for now.

They weren't going to take Becky away from her mother completely, even though it wasn't easy to see her go home to another house instead of with them. It wasn't easy waiting every hour of a day to see her again, it wasn't easy waiting five days for Becky to stay with just them, but only for two days and it wasn't easy counting seconds, minutes, hours, days until they could be a complete family again.

Freen knew how her son craved Becky's affection when they weren't together, but now everything worked out for all of them, for Finn and her, for Becky and for Araya. It was too complicated to make things easier for any of them now.

"Bye, angel..." Becky said as she waved at Freen and then disappeared a minute later, leaving only Finn and Freen to enter her apartment.

She was back to angel now, no more 'babe', Freen thought.

After the event of Becky calling her 'babe' last night and her doing the same thing she had done with Freen back then, Freen thought that Becky must be remembering something.

But she didn't. She didn't remember it, but as the doctor said, Becky wasn't going to get her memory back, but her body could replay the same event without her mind noticing. Freen wanted to tell her that she used to call her 'babe' back then, she wanted to hug Becky with all her strength because of the memory, she wanted to kiss Becky because of how much she had missed that memory, she almost burst into tears, but before she could get upset, Finn interrupted them.

Finn wanted to build a fort after the movie ended, so Freen decided to forget about it and build the fort together. Freen fell asleep on the couch later that night while Finn and Becky slept in their little fort.

After taking a shower, Becky immediately turned on the light on her desk and opened the books she had just bought a while ago upon returning home.

She bought a science book like what Finn had and some extra books about astronomy, animals, and math. She was excited to learn about everything. She wanted to be able to answer every question her son asked her. She was tired of being confused every time her son talked about something she didn't know, she was tired of not being able to say something like Freen when their son talked about something he learned from school.
