Tiffany curled her body up in her bed. The bed she used to share with Taeyeon. She sighed and another tear drop fell off from her eye for the nth time that night while looking at the test result infront of her eyes. She shifted to rest on her back and put her right arm over her eyes, and let out another sigh.
The sadness and thoughts of Taeyeon kept her restless for months. Even though she knew she should rest enough for herself and her baby. Her body turned to face Taeyeon's side of the bed and reached her hand out for the empty space, running her hand over the silky sheets, having thoughts of Taeyeon drowning her sanity slowly and surely.
"We're having a baby girl.." A quivered whisper broke the silent room. Tiffany moved her other hand to touch her visible baby bump, caressing it as she closed her eyes, silently praying that it was Taeyeon who gently caressed her stomach
"Just like what you wanted, Tae.. A baby girl..."
"..so please come home.. and help me name our daughter" More tear drops wetted Tiffany's already soaked pillow. She weakly pulled Taeyeon's pillow closer to her chest, trying to catch a whiff of Taeyeon's scent. Even though only traces of memories were left there
"Taeyeon, please.. I'm begging you.. please.. please come back home"
She closed her eyes and burried herself under her tears, hoping to atleast she could get some rest she needed.
Just when she almost cry herself to sleep, the sound of the bedroom door being opened alarmed her. She turned her back to face the door and shocked for a beat when she saw the face that appeared in the doorway
"Mommy ?"
"Irene-ah.. what's wrong ?" Tiffany immediately wiped her tears stains on her face and forced a smile. She felt too hopeless that she really thought her daughter was Taeyeon. She couldn't deny how much she missed and needed Taeyeon.
The little girl silently closed the door, followed by the pair of black and white puppies. She walked to the side of the bed, helped the puppies to get on the bed before she jumped on the bed. She gently moved her body to her mom's welcoming arms, snuggling closely.
"I had a bad dream. Can I sleep here, mommy ?"
"Ofcourse you can, baby.. now sleep. It's late" A smile appeared on Tiffany's face when she felt small nods from the child inside her hug. Tiffany ran her hand along Irene's long hair, caressing the back of her head lovingly as she pulled her body closer
"Mommy ?" The little girl looked up at Tiffany with her pair of bright eyes that always reminds her of her daughter's father
'Look at her, Tae. She really looks like you'
"Yes ?" Tiffany replied softly after she gulped down her unsaid words for Taeyeon
"I really miss daddy" She said in above whisper while burrying her face to Tiffany's chest even more. Her voice was filled with tears. And it broke Tiffany's heart even more
'Can you hear what she said ? Your daughter misses you, Tae. It's not just me. Please come home'
Silence filled the warm room before sobs broke it. Tiffany felt another hot tears spilled out of her eyes. She sighed inaudibly and caressed her daughter's head again
