"Hello?" asks a familiar voice.
"Yes, one-second please," says Sky, twisting the door open.
Sky's eyes open wide, to find her mother standing there with an offering of food. "What are you doing here?" Sky asks coldly.
"I came to apologize," says her mother.
"How do I know that you aren't going to try and disown me further by cutting off my insurance or something?" asks Sky.
"I promise I won't, my promise probably isn't much, but please just let me talk to you. I wanted to see how you were doing," says her mother with a soft smile, completely unfamiliar to Sky.
"Fine," says Sky, allowing her cold mask to crack a little.
"Thank you," says her mother stepping in the house.
Sky locks the door,"Go ahead and sit on the couch," says Sky noticing her mother awkwardly standing by the door.
Her mother takes a seat, and Sky joins her after bringing some small sweets and tea."So what do you want to talk about?" asks Sky.
"I did a lot of thinking, and I realized that I was wrong. I can't accept you as easily as I'd like to," says her mother.
Sky studies her mother's face, "I would like to make this work, but we need to talk some more. I can't forgive you that easily, what you said...hurt."
Her mother's face contorts with guilt,"I'm really sorry about what I did, would you like to come and live with us again? I'll take good care of you," says her mother.
"I would like to stay with Max, I feel safer with him. But, I really want the baby to know its grandma," says Sky.
"Okay, can I ask you something personal?" asks her mother.
Sky's hands tighten around the edges of her shirt, she nods bracing herself for her mother to suddenly burst out laughing saying it was a joke.
"Did you report the rape?" asks her mother completely serious.
Sky's eyes widen," You'll lose your job if I do," says Sky.
"Your father and I, decided to split after I told him that I am coming to peace with the fact that my child could like other girls," says her mother.
"Why?" asks Sky, in disbelief at her mother's statement.
"He said that if I accepted you, he doesn't want anything to do with me and my children. Luckily, Logan will be of age soon, so that your father can't take custody over him, and your father doesn't want you, so I'll take custody. And don't worry about money, I will find it somehow, you deserve to not have to worry about health care," says her mother.
"Mom, thank you," says Sky tears are streaming down her face.
"I heard that you quit school," says her mother.
"I'm sorry, I couldn't deal with the stuff they were putting me through," says Sky, shame evident on her face.
"It's okay, I understand why you would quit," says her mother.
"Thank you for coming, but I need some time to process what had happened by myself," says Sky.
"Goodbye Sky, and your baby bump is beautiful" says her mother. Her mother quietly steps out the door, and the sound of her car driving away echoes thorough out the room.
Sky takes a peak at the food her mother left, it was Sky's favorite dish, ravioli. Sky smiles gratefully at her mother's gesture, everything was starting to fall back into to place.
