Vanessa's Baby

Hidden

Mom, dad and I were out for dinner all talking and giggling at each other when dad went to the bathroom, mom said "I need to show you something" she whispered like she was a drug dealer

"ok what" she pulled out a picture of him and mom holding me when I was born,

"are you trying to make me cry?" I said with tears in my eyes

"no but..." She started crying, dad came back to us both holding each other crying

"umm did I miss something" mom quickly shoved the picture back into her purse

"no we just watched a really sad video"  dad wasn't convinced but didn't say anything. When we got home mom wanted me to do yoga with her

"yoga?! What did dad put in your drink?" I said laughing

"c'mon just do it!" After much persuasion I agreed

"alright just lemme change" I ran upstairs and changed into my sports bra and yoga pants, apparently mom was planning for me to wear this because she was wearing the same thing (surprisingly I didn't give her stretch marks)

"ready?" She said stretching

  "yep" a few minutes into it i noticed something on her ribcage, it was small, it looked like writing "hold on. Timeout, what is that" I said pointing to the spot

"oh that's just my tattoo" I leaned in closer, it said my name with my birthday under it

"when did you get this?" I whispered  " about a day after you were born

"i looked up at her with tears in my eyes then tackled her with a hug

"I love you"

"i loved you first"

I fell asleep with her arms wrapped around me while we both lied in the floor.
