Chapter 2

One year later…

~~~

We'd be so less fragile

If we're made from metal

And our hearts from iron

And our minds from steel

And if we built an army

Full of tender bodies

Could we love each other

Would we stop to feel

And you want three wishes:

One to fly the heavens

One to swim like fishes

And then one you're saving for a rainy day

If your lover ever takes her love away

You say you want to know her like a lover

And undo her damage, she'll be new again

Soon you'll find that if you try to save her

Itrenews her anger

You will never win

And you want three wishes:

You want never bitter

And all delicious

And then one you're saving for a rainy day

If your lover ever takes her love away

You want three wishes:

One to fly the heavens

One to swim like fishes

You want never bitter

And all delicious

And a clean conscience

And all its blisses

You want one true lover with a thousand kisses

You want soft and gentle and never vicious

And then one you're saving for a rainy day

If your lover ever takes her love away

Ash smiled his sweet smile and clapped his tiny hands in glee as I played the last chord of his lullaby. His eyes sparkled and he wrapped his fist around my finger, knocking it against the neck of my guitar.

“No more, buddy, time for bed.” I chuckled.

I tucked my hands under his arms and lifted him up to rest on my chest. Kissing his soft hair, I waited till his eyes were hidden behind his lids and his breathing slowed.

Slowly and carefully, I slid him onto the bed and got up, trying not to make a sound on the worn floor boards of our room.

“He’s one already… wow!” Mom hugged me, her loving arms circling me in a familiar way.

“You’re thinking of her again… aren’t you? Oh, honey, I’m sorry. I’m proud of you though, I can tell you love him with all your heart… you’re just like you father.”

“You shouldn’t be proud, or sorry. I only just managed to scrape through and graduate! I can’t go to college, not with him always on my mind.” I pulled away from her as the anger surged. “It’s my entire fault… I should’ve never let that bloody woman near me! Never should’ve gone to her for help!” My hands fisted and I felt my nails dig into my skin.

“If I remember correctly, she cornered you just after your father died… she’s a demon! It’s not your fault… you hear me, Jesse?! I won’t listen to you demeaning yourself on your son’s first birthday. He’s your son, not hers in the least! He’s too much like you, beautiful, caring, willed and brave. And he has all the love you or I can give him!”

I looked at her surprised. She never really expresses anything, but now her eyes were flooded with anger and pure… affection.

“Why?” I sobbed. “Why do I love him so much? I…” my chest and throat tightened as I sank to the floor.

“I know, baby… I know. But you didn’t see yourself in there with him… it was so beautiful. I didn’t know what to do when you were born, but you? You do it as naturally as breathing, even for an eighteen year old!” She sat next to me and rested her head on the wall.

“Why are you such a hippy?” I laughed.

“I am not! I may not have raised you right, but I going to try my best to help you and Ash, since I always wanted a grandson.” She grinned. “I’m always here for both of you, you know that, right?”

“Yeah… I love you, Mum.” I hugged her tight.

The familiar screaming started.

“Your turn.” Mum quickly stood and rushed into the kitchen before I could say anything.

Standing, I pushed open the door and snuck inside. Taking of my shirt, I crawled onto the bed and tucked the sobbing kid into my arms.

“Shhh, I’m here, shhh. I’m here, Ash…”
