I woke up sprawled across the couch to a screaming baby. I hastily hoisted myself off the sofa and trotted over to Maes crib. I lifted her tiny body out of the crib and started rocking her. "Shhh baby its okay. Im here" soon her screaming turned into sobs and soon enough she was silent. I eased her back into her crib, and then went to check on elliot. I softly pushed open his door to find him wrapped up in his blankets, breathing deep steady breaths.
As i walked back into the main room, i thought to myself how crazy all of this was. Me,and 18 year old, taking care of a 1 1/2 and 5 year old. Its not like i had a choice. My dad had left me, my brother, and my mother alone. Not to mention that my mum was pregnant. While she was giving birth to Mae, the doctors told her that she had to choose between her own life, or the baby's life. And being the kind person she was that always put others before herself, she chose the baby.
As i sauntered through the room i glanced at the clock, it read 6:47 am. We had to be at the kitchen by 8:00 and it was about a 20 minute walk. So i still had about an hour. I knew i wouldnt be able to sleep after thinking of my mum. Her face kept drifting into my mind and thoughts of her tugged at my heart. I settled on doing some laundrey, to waste time. But nothing, not even seperating warm from cold wash, could tear my mind away from my mum.
