Mother Cinder

Chapter 1

Cinder was pissed. She hadn't gotten any sleep for the past few days, and when she did it was only a little bit because her son woke her up around 3:00 in the morning everyday. On top of that Roman had failed a robbery again for the third time this week. With each failed robbery he pushed her plans with Salem back further, along with the supplies she would need for her baby. And now she was lecturing Roman while trying maintain her cool ,but with her voice raising in every word she spoke, one fireball in each hand, and on the verge of burning his face off, she wasn't succeeding.

Cinder: If you fail me one more time Roman, your gonna be begging me to kill you! Do you undertsand!

She yelled that last part while intensifying her flames.

Roman: Y-yes ma'm I understand.

Cinder:Good! Now get out of my sight!

With that Roman made his way to a different part of the warehouse while Cinder made her way to her room. As expected her baby had woken up and was crying.

Cinder walked into the room and immediately made her way to the shortening stack of diapers. She picked one up and made her way to her son and picked him up and took him to the bathroom to change him.

Cinder changed his diaper and walked over to her bed where she sat down and rocked him while singing the usual lullabies. Well after the usual ten minutes it regularly took for him to calm down he was still crying for some reason, which was kind of getting on Cinder's nerves. After another 10 minutes Cinder was now getting frustrated. She got out some formula whipped it right up and tried to feed him but nope, he was not hungry.

Cinder: Come on Ash just go to sleep for momma please.

Ash: *Still crying*

At this point now Cinder just had enough. She really had no patience for her business companions but for her son she was very tolerable. She was running low on patience at the moment. With her already at her limit and doing her best to get her son to go back to sleep she just couldn't take it. She hurriedly walked over to the crib and set him down, walked over to her dresser and let it out.

Cinder: Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!

Cinder slammed her fist down onto her dresser while yelling her profanities.

Cinder: Why of all days can you not go back to bet today Ash?!?!

She teared up as she walked over to the door and just walked out on her son for the time being. Cinder just needed to cool off for a while.

Meanwhile sitting on a nearby dust crate was a sneaky someone watching as Cinder stormed out of her room wiping tears from her eyes. That someone was Emerald. And it concerned her to see Cinder crying. Of the few months of knowing Cinder she never showed any signs of weakness, nor even cry. It took her a few seconds but she realized a few things. Ash was crying first of all, second was that she must be overwhelmed, evident by the tears of frustration and profanities she heard just a few seconds ago. She got up and quickly made her way to Cinder's room, and sure enough her ears had not deceived her, Ash was crying. She opened up the door quickly and immediately walked over to Ash's crib and picked him up. She started rocking him back and forth gently while singing a lullaby. She had taken care of Ash before and got used to it. After about a half our of rocking him back and forth he calmed down and stopped stirring and crying. She continued to do this for a few more minutes just to make sure he wouldn't wake up again.

Emerald stopped rocking him and stared at his little chubby face and and melted in aww. She loved Ash a lot despite not being his mother, and she thought about having a child of her own one day and embraced the feeling of holding Ash. She was lost in the moment until she noticed the warehouse lights creeping into the room and a shadow on the floor, that shadow belonging to Cinder. She felt a pit in her stomach as she realized she was in Cinder's room, and she wasn't invited in it, only coming in to take care of Ash. Physically she was okay, but mentally she was scared. Emerald immediately got up and started explaining herself.

Emerald: C-cinder I'm s-sorry I didn't mean too intrude it's j-ju-u-st that yo-

Cinder: Emerald

Emerald for sure thought she was literally gonna get herself roasted now.

Emerald: P-p-please j-j-just let me exp-plain.

Cinder: Emerald it's okay.

Emerald: W-what?

Cinder: I said it's okay.

Cinder took a step into the room closing the door, and then proceeded to walk closer to Emerald.

Cinder: I lost my cool because I was so stressed and pissed.

Emerald was shocked because this was by far the most emotion Cinder had shown to someone besides her son since she met her.

Emerald: O-oh.

Cinder: There's no need to be afraid of me Emerald, I was just so mad and I left him when he needed me. I couldn't stand his crying for a few more minutes and I just wanted to break down and cry, but instead of keeping my temper down with my own son I lost control. So thank you.

Cinder took the last few steps over to Emerald and embraced her.

Emerald: I-It was no problem.

Cinder let go of Emerald and grabbed her son and held him close to her chest.

Cinder: You should get some rest Emmy, you'll be taking care of him tomorrow.

Emerald: O-oh oky, I'll do that right away.

Emerald made her way out of the room and closed the door behind her. Cinder could tell Emerald had taken a liking to her, and her son too. But she definetely knew that Emerald had a thing for her. She picked up on her body language like her blushing and stuttering.

With that Cinder walked over to the crib and kissed Ash on his head.

Cinder: I love you very much Ash.

She kissed his head again and teared up at how she left her son just because she was angry. She set him down gently and walked over to her bed and laid down, regretting how she left her son when he needed her. Before she drifted off to sleep she promised herself she would never do anything like that again.
