*5 years later*

~Mia's pov~

"MOM!!"

"Yes darling?!" I yelled through the house, since I was currently doing the dishes from dinner.

Silence...

"Alex?!?" I shouted, finishing the dishes and putting it in the cabinet. I slowly went upstairs.

"Alexander! If you don't come out this instant, I'm going to ground you!" I warned, and then a door opened, to reveal my 5 year old son, Alexander, covered in my makeup.

His face was smeared with red lipstick, and many different kinds of eyeshadows. "Alexander! What were you doing?!" I pretended to be mad, and held in the laughter.

"I just saw your makeup bag open, and decided to test it out, and do the stuff like you always do." He said, his eyes watering from guilt.

My eyes softened, "Come here baby, it's okay." I kneeled down, welcoming him with wide arms. He cautiously went into my arms, put his tiny arms around my neck and hugged me. I picked him up.

"Alex, I'll give you a bath okay? Just remember to not go into mommy's stuff alright?" I said in a soft voice, making him nod. I checked the room where he came out of, and the only thing that he ruined was the lipstcuk and eyeshadow, which was fine. Atleast he wasn't hurt. I'm not attached to material things lately, since I could just buy it again.

We went into the bathroom, and I set him down on the floor. I turned on the tab at the perfect temperature, and waited for it to fill up the bath tub. I sat on the ground, and patiently waited.

'If you are all confused, let me explain. Alexander is my 5 year-old-son. Adoptive son. I found him after I just arrived in New York, after I dyed my hair white, with purple tips. It was when he was an infant, near a garbage can. He looked like he was newly born, so I took him to the hospital as fast as I could. When I did, the nurses checked up on him, and made sure he was nicely recovered. They asked me if I'd like to adopt him, if not then he'll go to the orphanage. I felt like something clicked, when I first saw that little boy, and I decided to take him under my wing. I adopted him, and named him Alexander.'

"Mom?" Alex asked, making snap out of my day dreaming state.

"Yes sweety?" I asked him back, waiting for him to continue.

"Sing me a song." He requested, wanting to make time pass by.

"What song do you want me to sing?" I questioned, his face lit up, and gave me the happiest smile ever, making my heart swell.

"Sing- um- how do you call it? Ah! I know! Photograph by Ed Sheeran!" He finally said, making me laugh a bit.

"Alright sweety." I answered, making him sit, and wait for me to sing.

"Loving can hurt, loving can hurt sometimes, but it's the only thing that I know." I sang, signalling Alex to do the next verse.

"When it gets hard, you know it can get hard sometimes. It's the only thing that makes us feel alive." Alexander sang, his voice like a sweet melody.

"We keep this love in a photograph, we made these memories for ourselves, where our eyes are never closing, our hearts were never broken, and time's forever frozen still..." We sang together.

"So you can keep me, inside the pocket of your ripped jeans, holding me close until our eyes meet. You won't ever be alone, wait for me to come home." I sang with my eyes closed, I opened them, to see my son clapping happily.

"That was amazing mom!" Alex exclaimed, walking up to me, and hugging me tightly. "Thanks darling, we make a good team!" I said happily, making him smile brightly.

"You really think so?" He asked innocently, making me smile sweetly at him.

"Of course bud! We are a duo, I will never trade you for anyone else!" I answered, making him squeal in excitement.

I look at the bath tub, and see that it's at the right amount. I turned the tap off, and Alexander took off his clothes. I bathed him, and washed all the makeup off his face. I scrubbed down his body with a sponge with soap, and washed his hair with a minty scented shampoo. I dried him down with a fluffy towel, and changed him into his favorite pajamas, which was a pikachu design.

"Come on now sweety, we have to wake up early tomorrow, since you have school, and I have work." You explained, picking him up.

He nodded his head, and yawned, rubbing his eyes. I walked out the door, and walked down the hall into our room. I opened, and closed our bedroom, and put Alex down on the bed, he was already fast asleep. He squirmed a bit, his hands reaching out to me. I smiled softly, kissing his forehead, and whispering to him that I'll be back in a bit.

I showered and changed out of my work clothes, then went to the kitchen to make Alex's lunch and snack. I also made a pre-made breakfast, and put it in the fridge, so that in the morning I can just put it in the microwave. I dried and combed my hair, then prepared our clothes for tomorrow. I went inside our bedroom, and went under the covers. I smiled, and wrapped my arms around Alexander. He turned so that he faced me, then cuddled into me. I let out a sigh of satisfaction, then closed my eyes.

'Tomorrow will be a new day.'
