Mama's Boy

Dead Doves & broken hearts

Emily pov

It was a nice morning, much nicer than prison mornings were. I have a child on either side and a Leah laying on top of me all of them whimpering and whining when I move even a little. I don't mind it though.

I close my eyes and when I open them again Russo isn't by my side.. I wiggle out of bed and go to look for him but I can't find him. When I come back Leah is missing too and I assume this is some game. I pick Riley up and cradle him before he runs off too.

He opens his eyes slowly but before I can kiss his cheek or say good morning he looks as if he were in pain but no sound. I go to rub his tummy but my hand goes through him and in a matter of seconds he is nothing at all.

Nothing.
Nothing.
Nothing.
...............
My breaths fill the airs pained silence.
My babies.

"RUSSO, LEAH, RILEY" I scream on repeat hoping they would all jump out and we can laugh. Just one more time. Just one chuckle. Please god just one.. One...

But then I start to feel it. The burning in my body as if someone has thrown me into the hottest flames. Everything around me is dulled out and my eyes feel weird.. Cold..

A hissing comes and my house fades to a frostbitten window.. Eventually the cold is the only thing I see. No house. No kids. I am soon freed and I grab a woman's collar. "Mrs Day men it's a.."

"WHERE ARE MY FUCKING KIDS" I yell back.

"They never existed Emily. They aren't real"

"yes they did, lies lies lies..How could they have not existed.. I held them I did I held them. I did I did my babies i held them" I whimper out breaking into sobs. "My babies bring them back to me don't hide them from me" I feel myself being dragged away and all I can do is cry and beg for my babies back.. They can't be dead they can't they are real.

She has been rocking herself back and forth for hours now. Just sat telling herself the kids exist... I almost start to feel bad but we need her and we need her now.. No more waiting
