the three of us {chim}

Piece 92

Camille's POV

"Hiya, pet." Nana Joan said as I walked into the kitchen, hearing my stomach growling so much this morning. Nana's been here for three days now and I love having her around. She leaves today, which is sad, but I will see her for Christmas very soon.

"Good Morning, Nan." I smiled as she gave me a kiss on the cheek.

"Hungry?" She asked and I nodded as she looked through the pantry for something to make.

"Where's Mum and Mam?" I asked, not seeing them in their bed this morning.

"They're outside, they said they would wait for you out there." She told me, making a smile appear on my lips. I rushed to the sliding glass door, opening it and running to Mum and Mam.

"Hi, baby!" Mam gave me a big smile as I hugged her from behind. They were sitting at the table outside with their morning cuppas.

"Good Morning, sweetheart." Mum pulled at my arm, forcing me to sit on her lap. I gave her a hug as I sat and felt endless kisses on my cheek.

"Did you sleep okay?" Mum asked and I nodded. When I heard the door slide open again, I saw Nana heading to us with a fruit bowl and some toast.

"Thank you," I said as she placed it in front of me and ruffled my hair a bit.

"Oh, looks delicious." Mum teased as she picked up a piece of my toast and took a bite.

"Hey!" I shooed her hands away and slid my plate away from her reach. She scoffed and rolled her eyes, making me giggle.

"You can have some if you ask," I told her and looked back to see her pouting and slouching back in the seat.

"Please, Millz?" She asked and I put a piece of strawberry on my fork and fed it to her. As I looked up, I saw Mam smiling wide at Mum and me.

"Where's mine?" She asked, causing me to feed her a strawberry as well. Nana quietly giggled at Mam, shaking her head.

"You two may as well be twins." Nan pointed to Mam and then to me, making me tilt my head and furrow my eyebrows.

"You remind us so much of Cheryl." Nan smiled at me and I couldn't help but look at Mam and hold her hand.

"Trust me, I witness it every day," Mum spoke up, making us all giggle. I turned to look at her, giving her a kiss on the forehead "But, I love them." She sighed and put a piece of hair behind my ear.

When I turned back to look at Mam again, she looked sad. I wasn't sure what it was but she went super quiet and seemed to have zoned out. That's what happens when Mam's upset, she either yells her head off or doesn't say a word to anyone. It just depends on what and who she's upset with.

"Mam?" I went to reach for her hand, but she immediately stood up and walked inside. I looked at Mum and she was just as confused as me.

"I got it," Mum said and had me stand up so she could chase after Mam. After she left, I sat back down and looked at Nan.

"Did I say something wrong?" I heard my own voice crack, making Nan give me a sympathetic look.
