Good News For Once

Alison and I were silent while we made dinner. I couldn't think of anything to say there was nothing to say until my mom got home. I kept checking the clock hoping she would get back soon.

"Why don't we just phone her to come home?" Ali asked.

"I don't want her to panic or worry and you know she will if we tell her she needs to come home."

It had felt like a whole day had passed when really it had barely been an hour. I heard the clicking of the door opening. I looked at Ali and froze I couldn't move a muscle. What was I supposed to say to her? Hi mom remember how we were told dad was dead and we had a funeral for him well guess what he isn't dead I seen him an hour ago and he's going to come back when we phone him and tell him we broke it to you gently.

"Emily? Alison?" My mom shouted.

"Mommy." Emilia's little voice barely carried through to the kitchen.

"We're in the kitchen." Alison shouted back them.

I looked at her my eyes wide and she gave me a reassuring look but it didn't reassure me in any way at all. My mom appeared in the kitchen door way with a massive smile on her face holding Emilia's hand. 

"Look what we got today for Emilia's first day at kindergarten." She held up a pink princess backpack. "What's wrong?" 

I don't know what my face was telling her but my mouth wasn't saying anything. I couldn't form a sentence in my head never mind have it come out of my mouth and make sense. I could feel the tears welling up in my eyes and I ran past my mom and Emilia straight upstairs. I could hear my mom asking Alison what was wrong and Alison asking my mom to come into the living room and sitting down. 

"Go up to mom and show her your new bag." I heard Alison speaking to Emilia and Emilia's soft footsteps growing closer to me as she found me sitting on my old bed.

"Look mommy." She held up her new backpack and I couldn't help but smile.

"Come up here and show me." I patted on the bed and Emilia climbed up into my lap.

Emilias began to tell me about her day out and I kept trying to listen to what Alison was saying to my mom but I couldn't hear anything until all of a sudden I heard my mom scream. Emilia looked up at me startled.

"It's okay grandma just got some good news." I explained

I lifted Emilia off my lap and carried her downstairs. My mom's face was covered in tears.

"Not good news." She frowned presuming I lied to her. 

"Grandma has happy tears." I explained.

Emilia put her hands out to my mom who took Emilia out of my arms. My mom threw her arms around me and squeezed me tightly.

"Is it true?"  She asked me.

"Yes mom he's really alive." I seen Ali picking up her phone to call my dad and I felt instantly nervous.

Mr Fields was back at the house in under five minutes after I called him. We had been sitting awkwardly in silence while Mrs Fields was in the bathroom washing her tear stained face and trying to calm down. She nearly had a heart attack when Mr Fields walked though the door. I had never seen her so happy. I hadn't noticed before how thin Mr Fields face was now. He looked like he hasn't ate in months and his finger nails were dirty. You could see that he had tried to get it all out but couldn't by the way it was gathered under his nails. It was the first time I truly got to look at him.

"What happened to You?" Emily asked.

"I'll wait for your mom to come back down before I explain."
