Picking Up The Pieces *Book 2*

Ch. 10

Melody's P.O.V:

I stared at the t.v blinking rapidly not believing what I had just witnessed.

I don't know how long I was sitting there because Elena got onto my lap and hugged me.

I mentally awed.

"I don't know what Uncle Ni said mummy, but he huwt (hurt) you. I don't want to see you like this." she frowned.

"Okay baby," I whisper kissing the top of her head.

I sigh and pick up Elena, you want to go and get some ice cream?" I ask

She nodded furiously. I smiled, final I have something to get my mind off of those people.

I take her small hand into mine and walk out the door and into my car.

"Umm, can I have a small vanilla in a cup and she will have...." I pause

"El, what do you want?"

"Can I pwetty (pretty) please have strawberry, with a strawberry on top?" she asked innocently

"She will have a kid-sized....-"

"No mum, I want a small." she stomped her foot.

I chuckled and shook my head smiling.

"Sorry, she will have a small strawberry ice cream with a strawberry on top."

The cashier smiled and said,"She is so cute."

I nod,"Yeah she reminds me of her dad." That feisty little girl. I paid her and waited as she got our ice cream.

"Here you go." she genuinely smiled and handed our ice cream.

"What do you say Elena?"

"Thank you." Elena sang

"Have a nice day!" the lady waves to us as we walked out of the little shop.

"Thank you, you too." I smiled and waved back.

I take Elena and sit at a table outside under an umbrella.

I take her spoon and scoop a little ice cream and try to feed her but Elena wouldn't let me.

"Mummy, I'm a big girl now."

I sigh,"I know, but you grew up so fast. I remember when I first found out I was going to have you. I still remember that day like the back of my hand."

I take a spoonful of the vanilla ice cream and pop it into my mouth.

I soon enough finish it and wait for Elena.

She picks up the spoon and opens her mouth but she just misses her mouth and the ice cream is all over her face.

I laugh and take the napkin to clean up her face.

"Mummy I no hungry." she babbles and picks up her ice cream.

"See this is why I wanted you to get a kid-size."

"I wanted to get what mummy got." she giggled which made me giggle.

"I love you." I tell her

"I love you too, mummy."

Once we walk into my flat I rest on the couch. I'm exhausted, all the singing in the car sure made me tired.

Elena cuddles into my side and we both fall asleep.
