Lea P.O.V.

I just wake up.. and Nicole is not on the bed.. I just get my phone and check the time.. it's already 11am..

I usually wake up early because of work..but I didn't have work now it's Saturday .

I went to the living room and saw Nicole watching t.v

Me: Good Morning baby.. why you wake up early?

Nic: good morning Mom.. I will go to daddy now.. we will go to the mall..  mom why you slept last night on my room? 

Me: Nicole.. we need to talk..I will tell you something..

Nic: ok mom.. where do you want to talk?

Me: on your room?

Nic: ok..

When we are on the room..

I just don't know where to start.. but Nicole is a smart kid I know she will understand it..

Me: Nicole your Tito Ger called me last night and tell me a bad news..

Nic: what is that mom?

(I was about to cry but I need to be brave this is my daughter)

Me: your lolo fel.. You know her right?
(she nod) he is in the hospital in  philippines, he is now in comatose... We need to go to the philippines as soon as possible..

Nic: oh.. no.. I didn't meet my lolo fel yet and he is now comatose.. it's ok for me mom.. but how about my study? My friends? Your work? How about dad? Is it ok with dad?

Yeah many questions that is also my question to my self.. .

Me: I am planning that we will live in the philippines for good..

Nic: I will miss NY.. specially my friends,our house,mama lynn and Daddy.. but if that's what you want mom.. it's a new life for us..

(am i talking to a 10yr old girl? So mature)

And suddenly I heard a buzz of a car outside our house..

Nic: I think it's dad...

Me: nic tell your dad I need to talk to him.. but you must stay in the car of your dad and  just wait your dad there ok?...

Nic: Yes mommy!
