"Oh how I missed my beautiful baby! Don't worry, Mummy's back and won't be leaving you. Not in a million years."

Mum was stroking my bangs ever so gently and drawing circles softly on my forehead with her slender fingers.

I smiled and rolled around under the duvet, not wanting to wake up from this dream.

"Ew, her eye is half open! Who even sleeps like that?"

"Shhhh! You're going to wake her up!"

I opened my eyes slowly as the Sunday morning sunshine hit my face.

These voices were so familiar and as I lifted my head up from my comfy pillow to see who they were, a large, grinning face jumped forward and invaded my eyes.

"Yah such a big face!" I screamed, pushing it away.

"Surprise!" I rubbed my eyes and saw a familiar blonde haired boy waving his hands from side to side.

I turned to the side and opened my eyes fully, grinning as I realised I wasn't dreaming.

"Mummy! Oh my gosh, it's not a dream!" I squealed as I instantly jumped into her arms. She hugged me back very tightly and kissed me all over my face.

"I'm so sorry I couldn't come earlier!" Her voice was quivering and I held her head to my chest, we were embracing like we hadn't seen each other for years, even though it had only been a month.

Just then, Jackson wrapped his arms dramatically around the both of us.

"Awwwww! All we need is Dad to make us a happy family! I'm going to cry!" Jackson slapped our arms lightly as he pretended to wail.

As much as I was pissed off that he came, I couldn't help but laugh.

"Ya Jackson, do my Dad and Uncles even know you're in my room? Do you know what they would do to you?" I turned my head to him, still holding Mum.

"Let them come! I am invincible, no one will defeat me!" Jackson was still playing around, even though I was being dead serious.

"Of course they know he's here as well!" Mum laughed to me, she thought I was joking too.

"How and when did you guys even get here?"

"We landed in Korea hours ago and the first thing I did was rush here!" Mum pulled me back in for a hug, "Minnie, aren't you eating properly? You've become so skinny, I can only feel bones!"

I chuckled, "Since when was I eating properly in London? They've all been stuffing me with food every chance they get!"

Mum tried to laugh, but I instantly knew she was faking it as she changed the subject.

"Well whatever the case, I am here to stay! Ruiji and I have decided to get married in Seoul and instead of being thirteen hours away; I'll only be a couple of hours from you!" She explained with joy.

I turned to Jackson who was now exploring my room as we exchanged awkward smiles.

"Oh, that's nice," I tried to be supportive as I was plaiting my hair back, still sitting in my bed.

"We have so much shopping to do! You're going to be my bridesmaid and Jackson will be the best man! Oh this will be exciting! We're hoping for a summer wedding, all of Ruiji's family can easily come from China that way," Mum jumped up in excitement as I sighed.

"School's fine, thanks for asking," I said with frustration.

Did she just come to my Dad's house to talk about her new marriage?
