As I watched him play I couldn't help but fall in love with my baby. He isn't actually mine but I've raised him and I've provided for him. He calls me mom and he's my world.

"Nicky baby, don't go too far. I need to keep an eye on you. Curfew is coming soon." I told my handsome little man.

He is originally my sister's child, but she wasn't supposed to have a child. It was against the rules for women her age. She was only 18. So they killed her. They had then appointed me to take care of him. And he can't know about his mother. As far as he knows I am his mother. And that's just the way it has to be. Curfew is at 8:00 p.m. It is 7:30 now. I have to get going soon or else I'll break the rules. Even though I've already broken so many rules.

"Nicky sweetheart, let's go baby!" He comes running with his little feet and cute little smile. Oh how I'm in love with my baby.

"Okay mommy I'm ready"

"Alright handsome man, let's go." I say as I take his hand.

As we walk down the hill, I see everybody going into there homes and settling in for the night. If only I knew what it was like to be normal. But I haven't been that way since about 3 years ago. Wow I've changed.

As we enter our house I see how tired Nick looks. He's played so hard and I just can't help but want to cuddle him right now. He reminds so much of my sister and he's so adorable. Well it's time for bed now.

The next morning,
