My Love; My Life: Slipping Through My Fingers

Lady Death

*Bloom (Reprised) from Joseph: King of Dreams-play more towards the end*
Setting: the Sparks house...

Bailey appears before her sister's house and readies to got check on them, but she stops short of doing so at the sound of a baby's cry. She turns her head from looking at the house to across the street at the sight of a unidentifiable woman holding a bundle to her. Finding this interesting, Bay stays put and just watches the woman. Not so much a voice, but a warmth and an almost music like sound comes to her-only she can hear it...

"I'm ta do what now?" She asks, "that kid she's carryin?-are ya sure...fine."

The warmth and sound vanishes as quick as it came as the mysterious woman leaves the child on the Sparks doorstep. Bay now appears before the child, and takes a gander at it, she was to be it's guardian angel too. The mysterious woman knocks on the door and hurries away-leaving the babe on the doorstep wrapped in a blanket with nothing more than a note-like Harry Potter. Missy soon opens the door, looks around and sees nothing-it's as she's about to close the door that Bay whispers for her to look down. Missy does hear Bay's voice-but like with Sheldon, it just clicks.

     Once Missy looks down, her face goes into shock and she quickly pick up the child, and closes the door as she carries it inside...

"Who was it?" Her husband asks

"Someone left a baby on our doorstep," she tells him

"Give it back," he tells her, "the boy just moved out a few months back," he adds in, "the girls are still in high school, we can't afford ta take care of another kid."

"Who can't?" She asks him with an arched brow

"What is it anyway?" He asks her as she reads the note

     Please take good care of my baby boy, as much as I want to keep my son-I unfortunately just can't financially afford to do so. I'm a teen mom from a prominent family, but my parents wanted me to abort him-said I brought shame to our family. So when they discovered I didn't do as they said, they threatened to forcibly take him from me and put him up for adoption. I wasn't stalking your family-I promise-I disguised myself as a beggar woman at a grocery store as a way to see who would notice and be kind to me. Out of everyone to pass by me, you were the only person to give me more than some money-to give me some food. So I decided you're family is his best chance at a good life-not the foster system-so please, please take care of him for me.

"A boy huh?" Billy says in thought

"We're keepin im," Missy officially declares

"Does it say who left im?" Billy asks still watching the tv

"Nope," Missy replies, "no name-doesn't even say the baby's name...no birth certificate or social security either..."

"Hm?" Is Billy's only response

"Like e don't even exist," Missy says, "I'm gonna take in ta the free clinic ta get checked out tamorrow," she declares, "Billy go get the old crib from the basement," she tells him, "I think I'm gonna call im Charles, Charles Brendon Sparks."

"..." Billy says nothing and doesn't move from his spot in front of the tv

"NOW BILLY!" Missy snaps at him

"Alright, alright," he says unfazed by his wife's snapping as he gets up to do as she commands

"TILLY! SHEY!" Missy yells, "get down ere and meet yer new baby brother!"

     Footsteps come bounding down the stairs and a girl that looks a lot like her mother but dressed in a leather jacket is the first in appearance, followed by a girl whom looks like her aunt Bobbi but with a kinder tone to her. The girl in the leather jacket and chewing bubble gum is Tilly (Matilda) and the other one dressed in oil stained overalls is Shey (Hershey).  Tilly stands with her arms crossed and a bored expression on her face as she side leans against the the doorway blowing and popping her gum. Shey stands back against the other side of the doorway, her elbows resting against her hips as her hands hold onto either of overall straps and she's sporting an unenthused look. Missy gives them both a stern look and they quickly stand up straight, but don't change anything else about their stances...
