Happy Mother's Day, Mummy

Baby

Sunday, 27 March 2022

"Hey little man" Said Nicky lovingly as she walked into her one year old's bedroom and picked him up from his cot. She bounced him up and down in an attempt to get him to stop crying.

"Do you want to go and see your Mummy and Nana?" The little boy nodded his head eagerly in response. He probably had no idea what what was said, but he nodded anyway. Nicky laughed softly and walked into the living room with her son in her arms.

Nicky and Lorna had gotten married two years ago and moved just down the street from where she and Red used to live. She still saw Red everyday.

"There he is!" Cried Red excitedly as she reached for hr grandbaby. He began laughing for no apparent reason.

"So how is my little Luca?" Asked Red looking towards Lorna and Nicky who were sitting very close to each other.

"He's really good" Replied Lorna.

"We think hes going to start walking soon" Added Nicky smiling brightly. Luca clapped his hands, which made everyone laugh.

A couple of hours later Nicky was sat on the floor playing blocks with Luca. Red looked over at Lorna.

"Shes come along way my girl" Red stated proudly.

"I think she has finally found a purpose in life" Replied Lorna equally as proud. Nicky really had come along way and finally she was happy.

It was late evening now and Luca and Lorna had long since gone to bed. Nicky was laying her head on Red's lap as she stroked her hair.

"I'm so proud of you, you know."

"Really?" Questioned Nicky sitting up slightly.

"Really. You look happy."

"I am. I have a good job, a good place to live, Lorna, Luca and you. What's not to be happy about?" Red smiled upon hearing those words come from her girls mouth. Red pushed Nicky up as the younger girl looked at her questionably. Red reached into her bag beside her and pulled out a present.

"I know your not my mother, but you are a mother now so I wanted to get you this." Nicky took it and opened it cautiously. She smiled when she saw a matching charm bracelet that she had gotten Red a few years ago. Red had worn it everyday since.

"I don't know what to say."

"Nothing" Replied Red pulling Nicky back down onto her lap.

There was silence between the two for a while until Red leaned down to an almost asleep Nicky and whispered the words that Nicky subconsciously said to her every year.

"Happy Mother's Day, Mummy."

I really hoped you enjoyed this as I worked really hard on it. To any mothers out there, have a great day!
