Presentiment || d.s.

I unfolded my comforter from my body, and placed it across the bed. Somehow, someway, my children made their jolly way down the stairs. With the condition I'm in, I need some peace and quiet. Unfortunately, having kids, none of that is even possible unless their sleep or eating.

I slipped on my silk robe and went downstairs, dreadfully. I don't know why but it feels like how it felt last thrusday. Daniel & I had off and the kids had school. I continued to the kitchen where I could look over to the over room to see my kids fully dressed with their coats on. Am I losing my mind or my kids woke up and dressed themselves?

          "Hey Mommy!" My babygirl Danielle greeted.

          "Good Morning my babies. You guys got dressed today, all by yourselves?" I asked. I had a smile on my face until I felt a pair of cold hands, like that person has been outside in the coldness. I gasped from the sudden action of such, and from the shock in my spine. I spinned around quickly and couldn't believe my eyes. It's my husband. My deceased husband. What is this? This has to be a dream, it can't be real.

          "Morning, baby." He hugged my waist and pulled me close as he kissed my forehead. My hands was covering my mouth, I was in total shock. His face changed. "Camille, Camille what's wrong?"

          "...you're alive..."  I whispered. However, Daniel heard me.

          "Yes. Why wouldn't I be?" He joked. He doesn't know what had "happened" yesterday. I mean how could he?

He was dead.

           "I-I don't know. Maybe it's was a nightmare I had last night or something."  My voice spoke up some more.

           "Did I do it you that good that you got nightmares of me leaving?" He joked, but I didn't think it was humorous at all. If I never experienced yesterday-or that dream, I would've laughed and agreed with him. I can't lie, his sex is amazing. But I just can't remember the feeling to so. So I lied.

            "Mhm, yep. I think it was but I can't talk about last night Daniel, I have to take the kids to school."  I changed the subject and rushed out of his arms only to be pulled back.

           "No, no, no. You agreed that I would take the kids this week."  I did? I did. I remember that I said that.

          "No! Uh-you can stay home and watch some television while I'm gone."

          "But Camille I-" I shushed him with my finger placed on his lips. He ain't going no where, nor driving.

           "Stay in today. I got it. Go put on your backpacks honeys." I said my kids going in the cabinet, getting some snacks for Daniel. I shoved it all in his chest and gave him the remote. "Daniel, I want you to stay here, okay? Please don't go outside for nothing."

          "Why?"

          "Daniel please. I don't have time to explain right now. I'll be a half in hour, baby. Wait until I come home."  I yelled getting the kids out the door and into the family van. I maybe acting weird to Daniel but I need him to be safe, I want him to see tomorrow.
