Ella rushed up the stairs to get her child, "good morning baby" Ella said sweetly, waking her up. "Morning mama" Aurora replied rubbing her eyes with her tiny fingers. Whilst Roura was doing that, Ella kept staring at her little baby and wondered how time passed so quickly, she was brought out of her thought when Roura called her.

"Yes baby" she answered gently, "let's get you cleaned up, so you can have breakfast" she said carrying her into the bathroom. Very quickly she stripped her off her clothes, brushed and teeth and gave her a bath. She dressed her up in blue short and white singlet with floppy slippers. "Roura, you remember the man that was around yesterday". Yes mommy".
" Well, he made us breakfast, don't be rude, alright baby". "Okay momma".

Ella descended down the stairs with her baby on her waist carefully, she saw that Derek had set the table already and he was seated on one of the chairs already. She saw the he had zoned out cause he didn't even notice her coming down the stairs, so she cleared her throat to get his attention, which she successfully did. He looked up immediately, " please come and have a seat", he said gently.
Ella put roura in her highchair and went to get her baby's food and she sat next to her, Derek had already dished out their food, he didn't put chocolate syrup on hers cause he remembered that she didn't like it. "Ella was surprised to see that Derek didn't didn't put the chocolate syrup on her pancake, guess he remembered, she thought to herself, the little action put her a smile to her face. "Why are you smiling" Derek asked suddenly, she was surprised by the question, but was quick to mask her surprise, so she answered carefully, "nothing, just had a noltagic feeling" she answered truthfully. "Hmnnn" he hummed in response. Derek decided that he needed closure, was dying on the inside to know why she left him, he watched her carefully as she ate, he decided that it was time to ask her. "Why'd you leave" he asked carefully, Ella went still as she heard the question she'd been dreading, her mouth went dry as she didn't know the response to give him, one thing for sure was that she couldn't let him know the truth behind her action. "She dropped her cutlery and carefully raised her head to see him, she was met with his eyes staring at her waiting for her response, so she mustered up courage and answered. "I was in love with another person" she lied, Derek knew that she was lying and she fidgeted with her fingers which was a usual thing she does when she lies, he hummed in response to her reply as he kept on eating his food,"you can't lie to me Ella, hope you haven't forgotten, we were together for more that two years so I remember everything about you perfectly well, I'm going to find out the reason you left me, and the outcome is not going to be good". Derek said standing up from his seat, "do not be late to work on Monday, I do not accept tardiness" he said calmly, and he left her home.
