For Better or For Worse

Chapter 46---I Won't Give Up

'It's finally good to see you, my baby. I haven't known you for long, but ever since I found out about you, I started to love you even now. I wish I've known sooner before so that we had time together. I would've caress mommy's belly, knowing that you'd feel my hand. I would've talked to mommy's belly, because I know you could hear me. The words I would say are I love you, don't hurt mommy when you come out.

 

'When I found out about you and what happened to you, I never stopped blaming myself of the mistakes I've done. If it weren't for daddy, mommy shouldn't have ran and had an accident to lose you. It was my fault we lost you, angel. Please forgive mommy and daddy for everything. We're so sorry.

 

'But now you're up there. I hope your watching over us. Funny. It's the other way around. We should be the ones watching over you, but you're the one doing it now. You've grown fast, little guy. I love your mommy so much. She cries a lot because she misses you. I tell her I love her, but she keeps on crying and staying away from me, and I know you're also crying when you see us like this.

 

'I want mommy to stop crying, but I don't know how. Whenever I see her holding your picture, she smiles her happy smile. We all know that we can never bring you back, but I want her to smile. I love your mommy so much to the point that I'd give her anything she wants, but I guess...she wants you.

 

'Before, she used to smile a lot, but now, whenever we're together she cries a lot. Help me out here, buddy. I love mommy so much. I don't wanna lose her. Help me make her change her mind. I can't continue living a life where she isn't in it. I hope we get to see you soon, but not too soon. I have a mission to accomplish, remember? Mission Make Mommy Love Daddy Again. I love you...'

Monique's P.O.V.

 

"Hello, Broadway.com, and welcome to Wandering Daaé Diaries." I said to the video camera in my hands. It's a Broadway.com thing...vlogs. In this case, I was given four episodes of vlogs for Broadway.com, maybe because of that Tony Nomination.

 

"Today, I'll be celebrating Mother's Day with my mother at our house, but as you could see right now..." I roamed the camera around. "I am at my hotel room, getting ready to just check my attendance at work before I visit my mom. I am so blessed and thankful that I am celebrating Mother's Day here at home. She doesn't know anything about today's surprise. I haven't even greeted her! I feel like a bad daughter right now! In fact, I am going to call her..." I pulled out my phone and dialled her number, putting it on speaker phone.

 

"Yes, sweetie?"

 

"Hi, mom! Happy Mother's Day!" I greeted her.

 

"...I thought you'd never greet me!"

 

I playfully laughed, rolling my eyes. "Mom, you know I wouldn't do that! Oh! And, mom, I have Broadway.com with me here! Say hi!"

 

"Hi, Broadway.com! Sweetie, will this be on?"

 

"Yes, mom. You're going to be seen in this episode."

 

"Wow! Henry, I'm going to be a star!" I heard her yell, but was pretty clear, making me laugh so hard for so long.
