Her Second Chance

Off to mall (Part 1)

I was sleeping peacefully until I felt little hands shaking me. At first I thought it was Henry, then I thought about it. 'Henry's hands aren't this small anymore' Then all my thoughts from yesterday filled my mind. The little hands were from the little boy I found yesterday, Roland.

"Ms.Gina wake up!!!!!", he yelled as he continued to shake me. I suddenly opened my eyes and pinned Roland arms to his sides as I tickled him in my bed. He began to laugh hysterically and squirming trying to get away.

"I'm wide awake, Mr.sir", I said while laughing as I continued to tickle Roland. As I tickle him I began to miss doing this with Henry when he was younger.

"Sto... Ms... Gi...na" Roland exclaimed while he continued to laugh. I stopped seeing his whole face was turning red.

"Alright, now would you care to tell me what you woke me up for." I said with my duck face.

"I feel bad for not answering the questions you asked me yesterday. I'm not sure what my papa's real name is. But we live in a in a beach house, its grey and white. I know that he is in a huge company." he responded as he laid he head on my shoulder.

"Its's alright, and that information will help when I began to look for him.So do you know how you ended up in my back yard." I asked as we laid there.

"Me and my daddy were walking around in the forest with some of his friends. I saw a bird nest and wanted to see what was inside it. And when I looked around again they were gone." He told me.

"Roland, if you don't mind me asking how old are you?" I asked because he seemed like he was 3 yrs old when I first saw him. But now that I'm getting to know his I don't think he's 3.

"I'm 4 yrs old. My birthday is March 22nd. And my Papa's birthday is November 15th, If that will help you find him." He said with a smile.

"Yes that will be very helpful. We need to get up and get moving Roland. Do you wanna help me make breakfast?" I asked him. His eyes brightened and he nodded. I picked him up and held him on my hip. For a 4 yr old he wasn't that heavy, which made it easy for me to carry him downstairs. I only used my magic when I was either being lazy or in emergencies. When we got to the kitchen I put Roland on the ground.

I got the waffle maker out and plugged it in and sprayed the iron with butter. While it heated up I had Roland help me  feed Coco and mix the waffle batter. The waffle maker was ready so I helped Roland pour it. Once we finished the waffles I made turkey bacon and later today I wanted to take Roland and Henry shopping because I didn't know how long Roland would be with me and wanted him to have some changing clothes.

Henry came down stairs after everything was finished with Emma right behind him. I forgot she slept here last night after the movie. We ate and talked about what we wanted to do today. I told the boys that I wanted to take them shopping before I had to go to work the next day. Both Henry and Roland were trilled about going to the mall. Normally Henry would dread going shopping but a new arcade opened in and wanted to go there. So I made a deal with them, once we finished shopping we would go to the arcade.

So once we finished breakfast Henry went upstairs to get changed, while Emma hugged Roland and told him she would be helping me find his father and not to worry because finding people is what she does. Once she left, Roland and I went upstairs so he could take a bath. Once he undressed himself, I took his clothes to the laundry room to be washed so he could wear them again. On my way back to give Roland his bath Henry called out, "Mom, do you think Roland can fit this shirt."

I walked into Henry's room and he showed me the small shirt. As I looked at it, it seemed like it could fit Roland.

"Yea I think he'll be able to wear it, thanks." I told him as I gave him a hug and returned back to guest bathroom where Roland waited. I turned the water on and put the stopper in the tub so the water wouldn't seep out.

"Ms.Gina can I have bubbles, and do you have any toys?", He asked

" Actually I have both" I told him as he smiled. In the closet beside the bathroom I retrieved the Mickey Mouse bubble bath and Henry's old Mickey Mouse bath toys along with the hooded mickey mouse towel. When I returned Roland had a huge smile on his face once he saw the toys in my hands. Once the water was at a decent level I put the bubbles in and Roland climbed in happily as I dropped the toys in. As he played I bathed him making sure he was thoroughly cleaned not completely sure when he was last clean. Once I finished washing and rising his hair I unplugged the tub and turned the shower on warm to rise him off. Once I turned the water off and grabbed the towel, I wrapped him up in it and carried him to my room which was down the hall. 

Once he was dried off and back in his same clothes but just clean, he ran to Henry's room while I showered and got dressed. I decide on a royal blue dress and some white and royal blue wedges. As soon as I was ready I went to Henry's room to tell them I was ready to go. 

Coco met us at at the door wagging her tail wildly telling me she wanted a belly rub. Henry rubbed her as I opened the back door with Roland's hand in mine. Once he was finished I handed Henry the car key so he could open the car and roll the windows down. I locked the door and walked Roland to the car. Then I remembered that he would need a car seat. Luckily I still had Henry's old one still in the garage. I put it in the back seat and strapped him in and started the car, pushed the garage button in my visor and backed out of my drive way. Hopefully we will have a great time at the mall.
