"Anna what do you have?" I asked, she held a banana in her hand.

"Nana" She smiled brightly, coming to sit on my lap, I wrapped my arms around her.

"You like bananas?" I giggled.

"Yeah, Nana!" She peeled it and bit into it, somehow making the biggest mess again.

"Nanas are good" I pet through her dark curly hair.

"Mama is better" Her dimples pushed out.

"Am I? What about Mami?" I teased, she giggled again.

"I wub Mami" She pouted.

"I love Mami too" I whispered.

"When Mami coming back?" She laid on my chest.

"Soon, she gets off at 6, and then I gotta go at 8... " I told her.

She whined, and hugged me tight. "I don't wan you to go" She started crying.

"I have to work Anna" I wiped her tears.

"Don't go to work" She squeezed me.

I laughed. "I have to buy food and get you those unicorn stuffies you like" I teased.

"I like unicorn" She wiped her tears.

"Yeah, well if Mama has no money, and doesn't go to work, you can't have any more unicorns" I said.

"Yeah?"

"Yeah" I laughed.

"Fine" She pouted out.

The door opened, Lana smiled super wide.

"Mami!" Anna called out, getting off the couch, running to hug her.

"Hello!" She picked her up and gave her a huge hug in her arms.

"Mami" She nuzzled in Lana's short hair.

I stood up and walked over to Lana, pecking her lips softly.

"Hey baby" She kissed my cheek, Anna in between us.

"How was work?" I asked.

She kicked off her heels, putting her purse down. "It was fine, nothing really that much" She walked into the kitchen with Anna in her hip.

"Mm, okay" I nodded.

"Are you covered in banana?" Lana laughed and grabbed a wipe, getting it off her face.

"Nana!" She pointed at the bananas.

"No more bananas" Lana sternly said. "They get you all sticky, and I know Mama lets you have them" She looked over at me.

"She's too cute" I shrugged.

"Kathy" She laughed, shaking her head.

"Wait, don't forget your backpack!" I handed Anna the bag.

"Bye Mama!" She waved off and got on the bus.

I teared up, Lana had work, so she had left earlier. I sighed out, it was weird to me to not have Anna all day. I was all alone, well, there was the new puppy, but that was all.

I went back inside the house, turning the TV on. I felt nervous, because Anna wasn't in my sight, and she could get hurt. It was a motherly instinct that I had to let go. Anna was going to be alright, she was going to be fine.

I fell asleep on the couch, waking up to Anna fiddling with the door. I jumped up and opened the door.

"Mama!" She hugged me tight, I picked the 6 year old up and giggled.
