That One Night ↠ D. Sprayberry

"MOM, I'm a total emotional mess."

"Isabella that's normal," her mother said, "You have every right to be emotional."

"I don't know what to do mom," Isabella sighed, "I don't know what I'm doing."

"Honey, it's completely normal to feel that way. When you were born I was completely clueless."

"Yeah but you were older. I'm 19."

"Age doesn't matter. You're first kid is always the scariest." Her mom said.

"Mom, what if they're right?" Isabella questioned.

"Whose right?"

"Them. The fans," Isabella said, "I posted a picture of the baby corner in my room and everyone started criticizing it. They said it was too small for Dylan's kid. That she deserves more than a part of my room. What if they're right? What she deserves more than I can give her. I mean, she is a celebrity's kid. But I can't afford so many things. I have to work my butt off, but I still can't even make enough to buy my own apartment. Mom, what if she's unhappy with what I can give her?"

"Do you honestly believe that your daughter will hate you for being a normal human being?"

"I don't know." Isabella shrugged.

"Oh Bella. You will always have a place with me here. It's okay that you still live with me. It's okay that you don't make a lot of money. Your daughter will love you, not for the money, but for the type of mom you are. I know it seems difficult. I know you think that you have to get her everything in the world. But it's okay that you can't. Isabella, you are such a hard worker and you deserved so much more than what I was able to give you. But I couldn't get you everything you deserved. And I don't think you ended up hating me did you?"

"No."

"Well, why would your kid be any different?"

"Because of her father." Isabella said.

"Honey, Dylan understands. He has offered to help you many times." Her mother said.

"But he shouldn't have to." Isabella sighed.

"It's okay to ask for help sometimes. There is nothing wrong with that," her mother said, "Honey, you are overthinking it too much. Your daughter will love you, and she will love Dylan. I'm sure of it."

"Oh mom," Isabella sighed, "I'm a mess. A complete disaster."
