" Keep pushing babe your almost there!"

"Your almost there Ms. Greenwich, just one more big push. She screamed and pushed with all her might.  Her result... a beautiful baby girl.

" It's a girl." The nurse shouted with joy.

" What are you going to name her?" He said placing a light kiss on her forehead.

"Mommy how do you make cookies?" It was a stupid question I knew the answer to since we have been doing it  for charity every year. I could tell that she was hurting and tired but being a stupid little kid especially at three I knew only one thing, pry until you get what you want.

" Mommy!" I exaggerated dragging the word while pretending I was famished from hunger. " Fine, we don't want you to die of hunger now do we." she chuckled slightly. I watched in amazement as a tear came into view, why was my mother crying?

" Mama why are you crying?"I asked pointing to where even more tears came into view. She bent down close enough for me to wipe them away. Which I did as she talked about tears, souls, and saying goodbye. I studied her eyes for a minute but stopped when I saw another tear spring up.

"So that mean we need onions?" this made her laugh.

"No we don't need onions but  you can get me the eggs." She said directing me to the counter. She got the oil and milk while I got the eggs. After she had put all the ingredients she let me mix and lick the bowl.

" Do you think daddy will like them!" enthusiastically I jumped up and down in my chair as if willing him to come home. "What are you go-."

Beep, beep! It was time for her to take her pills.A psychiatrist gave her antidepression pills, which seemed to work less and less each day. We sat the cookies out to cool. " Mommy, I want a story." I looked at her expectantly. "Okay this story is called promise."

"There was a magical kingdom called Promise. It was the most happiest place on earth until it all disappeared. Everyone who tried to find it failed and came back with a great darkness upon them. But one day a princess went to find it but never returned.

" Mommy what happened to her!" My body quake as I shivered in fear for the princess. All she told me was that I needed to finish the story in my mind so it basically ended in candy land. " Can I find Promise mama?".

"Yes, and remember promise is what makes you happy." She hugged me tight and cried into my shoulder, which reminded me of the episode in the kitchen. I could just here her muffled voice" I love you Hannah and tell daddy that I'm sorry. Okay?"

" Alright." But sorry for what? She went to the bathroom after her break down. It had been an hour since she went in there. I heard the front door open. " Hey daddy."

" Hey Hannah, where's your mother?"

"Oh, she went in the bathroom but she's been in there a long time and I didn't hear any water running."

He said" Oh no!" and started running towards the bathroom. Hannah followed him only for her to see her mother lay on the floor, in a puddle of blood, knife in hand - still,silent,dead.

Dad called the ambulance but it was to late she was already gone. The doctor told dad that her suicide had been caused by stress which directed straight  towards me, that's where it all started, that's when according to dad I was my mother's murderer.
