• It was over. Finally! I wipe my forehead and then I give my new born baby to my husband Thomas.
    "He looks so much like you.'' I say quietly.
    "I think more like you my deer...I love you oh so much."
    I smile, I was tired and so I turned on my side thinking only happy things. Once I wake up I hold Jr. and kiss him and tell him that I am his mother. He giggles making me giggle too. He looked so much like Thomas. So alike, But he has my eyes and my hair color and two freckles on his face, how cute. I loved him so much and barley cared that he wasn't a girl... I knew that again we might have another child. I hoped for that.
    17 YEARS LATER....
    "Mom. Can I go out with Jessica, my girlfriend and Jacob tonight to see the one movie ahh... I forgot the name but you know.. the one with the two parents and they can't.. um..." Jr. Says...
    "Sure honey. I know what movie you are talking about. But you need to drive Jacob remember, he got grounded?" I remind him.
    "Sure, Sure. Thanks." He leaves the room..
    Because I have been up until 4AM often trying to write another novel I sit down on the sofa and say good night to Jr. and lock the door behind him. I fall asleep...
    I wake up to a shock.. The doorbell rang and it was 5:14 Am ? Who would be here by now? Was Jr. home? I needed to fine out. I scurried to the door...
    "Mam... Is this license your sons?" The officer showed me the license.... I was afraid.
    "Yes. It - It - It is. Yes, Why? Is Jr. Okay? Officer!" He didn't answer just bowed his head. tears were streaming down my face.
    Finally he answered me "I'm sorry miss. He has gone to a new place. He is no longer with us. I'm so sorry mam." He died. How?
    "How? Oh no! He was out with two of his friends?! Is his friends alright? I need to call their parents.. Quickly!" I rush to the phone
    "No. They are perfectly fine. They were at there home getting out of the car and a car came speeding into the car and Jr. Was in it. The children made it. Jr. did not. I am sorry miss. Also, They got in the house and called 911 and told their parents as soon as it had happened. Very responsible kids they are!" I was reveled and at the same time not one bit. I bit my tongue.
    "He's dead. My son. He was a straight A+ student like his father was. I have no children anymore." I cried about them both. They both were killed by a speeding car.
    "I am sorry -"
    "I see. What ever. Just - Just - Just.. Give me a second." I held my breath. "Thank you, officer."
    "Again, I am sorry. This had happened to all 4 of my children, too." The officer said.
    "Now, I'm the sorry one. I need to be sorry for myself. I need time to think." He was getting on my nerves.
    "Sorry mam."
    "Yeah, Well... Tell me more in the morning."
    That night I fell asleep crying again. He didn't even live till 17 1/12!

    Everything was made up. None of that was real.. but it can be real in some cases.
