Chapter Two

I wake up only to find me in a large white room. Guess they decided it was time to put me in the Looney bin (as my father calls it).

But then I see a speaker and now the walls are blue and I see a doctor. And I look over to see my mother in a waiting chair of some sort. She sees me from the corner of her eye and jumps up in great relief and joy commences all over her.

I look at the empty waiting chair beside where my mother was sitting. Before I ask where I am. And what's going on? I must ask one question which over rules all of those questions....

"Where is father?" I ask after we have hugged and now she is holding my hand.

Her eyes fill with tears and my stomach flips and my heart starts to race. My mother opens her mouth to speak... But must clear her throat...

"He's alright he's at the cafeteria right now i am just so happy we are all alright" She says strong and compassionately.

What more is there to say then "we are all alright".

I go to speak but my mother already knows what i was going to say.

"Well you see we are in... We are home, where we belong" my mother says in a hushed tone. Probably not wanting the nurse or doctor to know I'm awake she knows they'll take me away from her.

"What do you mean home, our home is the doctor's office"? I ask confused.

"Umm..." She clears her throat "no well we were going to tell you..." She tries to continue but I interrupt

"Mom what were you going to tell me?"

"well we aren't meant to live

on earth"

"So we are aliens..." Aha, .I was right...

"No honey you see we are from a different world," wow is all I can think and I can't talk because of how shocked I am "well here let me explain it this way," she continues, interrupting my thoughts "Lucy" a doctor walks in and says he will be right back " Lucy she's from this world, everything you were seeing was this world" I feel so... how do I explain it well I feel very out of the loop.

"Don't worry honey I was very shocked when I found out, but I was a lot older when I found out.... This wasn't the way we wanted you to find out..." She says with regret in her voice.

"Its fine, really mom" she wipes a tear that streak down her face like a lonesome leaf blowing down to the cold, hard ground. "Stuff isn't always as we plan, is it?" She nods as more tears streak down her beautiful olive skinned face. "Like when you had me I wasn't as dad had planned was I?" My mom's face goes pale and regret arrives to me as my stomach flips and I burst into a full streamed breakdown of tears.

"Honey your father loves you very much learning all this has been very hard on him alright". My mother says as her voice fades away at the sound of footsteps.

My father jogs into the room with two plates of food; he probably assumed I was still asleep. But when he sees I am awake he leans down to my face and kisses my forehead.

But something happened I felt as if my heart was a ring of sensation, and then I sensed my mother was going to stand and leave.

Before she moved a muscle I yell

"No mother please, you mustn't go i need you".

She looks awfully confused so i was about to blurt out to my father to keep the window closed i just know he is going to open it. As I was opening my mouth to speak my father turned around and walked to the window where he reached out to open it, as it screeched open my mother said to me

"Honey I really need to go to the washroom for a second" my mother says as i adjust my pillow.

"I suppose I shall be fine with father for a few minutes well you go and wash up" I say trying to sound hard done by.

My mother nods and walks into the crowded hospital or what I think is a hospital.

My father walks over and takes a seat at my bed rest i sit up as he looks out the window then as i am now comfortable he starts to speak

"you know honey" and takes a deep breath and releases it with a sigh "if I could go back to when you were born and take back every rude and ungrateful word I said to you I would, but now is to late so we must start over with each other".

My father is correct I reach up and give him a hug

"Daddy I always knew you had it in you" he looks very puzzled and confused

"You knew i had what in me?" he asks with a concerned voice mixed with anticipation.

"Love, kindness, daddiness" I say with a little giggle at the end. My father is also having a good chuckle.

"I love you dad" the moment the words slip out of my mouth I know what is to be said

"Kiddo I love you too" wow. That's the first time I have heard those words directed at me from him.

Well...this is awkward, should I ever forget this day?! No, that would be impossible i feel so grateful.... But grateful, grateful for what?

Maybe for some excitement in my... usually dull life.
