I don't own The Amazing World of Gumball, all credits to Ben Bocquelet!
It was a cold night of June, the streets of Elmore were empty and not even a soul walked by them, the streets were consumed by a mist that wouldn't allow anyone to see even a few feet away. It sounds like an approaching car on the icy streets
"You have it?" Asked a dark dog to a blue cat, Nicole Watterson, the mother of a problem child, a fish and a prodigy, which because of her "work", she can't spend time with them, which is affecting decisions lately at work and her "functions"
"Yes, it's in the glove compartment, I left it there this afternoon" said Nicole
"You know we need that document, right?" He said in a gruff voice
"I'll get it, I swear" she said
"Let's hope so, if not, we'll have to take actions,Nicole , and you know we don't like to have to take actions" he said in a dry voice and stopped the car, they had arrived at the house of the Watterson's
"I think you get off here." Said the dog without turning to speak to
"Thank you." She said in a worried tone, gently getting down the car. The car drove off and disappeared into the fog
"Someday I must tell them, it is not possible to spend the rest of my life in fear of being discovered, they are my family, they love me, they're the ones who really know me ..." she thought as she walked to the door.
It was 3 A. M, all at home was sleeping. She couldn't and wouldn't sleep, she was thinking about when she agreed to work for the department, she realized that the world wasn't a safe place and she just wanted to protect her country from the dangers of outside, but more than to her country, her family, who loved her, she would give anything to protect their happiness and their lives, even now, when she was at risk if she didn't do what she have to, she doesn't regret a single day of what she had done. All those days pretending to work in the rainbow factory of Elmore were the times when she was hunting hazards to her family, her strict discipline with her children and her "tough love" was only her wish to teach their children the means to protect themselves, because for her work, the first thing she had to assume was that if she was captured or worse, killed, her husband could not drive home alone, she can only rely on their children , Gumball, Darwin and Anais to guard the house in case of her absence, all this combined with her anxiety problems about the unsteadiness of our world and dangers of living in an age like ours, had made her have sleep problems and she had to start taking pills to control them
"Well, I think that tomorrow I'll have a busy day, I wish I could talk to someone about this .." She said quietly, while inside, she had a gap in her heart, a need to be with her children, she couldn't believe that their children were growing so fast, one day they were going to leave and she will be alone with her son-husband, Richard, whom she saw as his little man. Among this, she felt a tear trickled down her cheeks,it was a tear of necessity, she needed to be with her family as she didn't know if she would always be there to protect them .. . Then, she turned and saw his oldest son, Gumball, standing in front of her with a river of tears coming out of his young face
"Gummypuss, what's up?" She asked in a motherly tone
"I dreamed that you were taken away and we'll never see you again,that we were abandoned and there was no one to love us" said tearfully before breaking again
"Honey, you know that will never happen, you are the most precious thing I have and I will always be with you, please don't cry anymore, Gummypuss" said hugging him and adjusting his face with her chest
"You will stay forever with me?" sobbing asked Gumball
"I promise" She said illuminated by the look of his son. He approached his mother's ear to say ''I love you'' and hug her and while he hugged her, without noticing he felt asleep in her arms ,his mother watched him for a while with love, the love that comes from a very deep relationship as theirs. She knew that, even though their personalities weren't congruent, they had a similarity besides physical, an emotional one, both knew that they needed affection, an affection that in that little house in the suburbs of Elmore, had enough to give away to everyone, it was something unconditional, an unconditional love.
"Well, son, I think that Morpheus got you, I hope you can hear this, I love you too" said whispering and looking at him with love, and she could see how in her son's face, a little smile raised. With that done, she went upstairs and left Gumball on his bed, she could see that her son was sleeping like an angel and beside his bed, in a little pond, Darwin was in a deep sleep,when she saw them, she just smiled and said to herself
''I will always be taking care of them, no one will ever harm my 3 angels" she said as she approached her bedroom. When she entered, she saw Richard, her beloved lazy husband, sleeping like a log, just like when he left his home to pick up some paperwork to make the report to that the Agency needed
"Hello, hello dear" said whispering while changing clothes
"Aaaaaaaaaaaarg-Ahhhhhhhhhhr" was the response from Richard, which was in full sleep, Nicole just giggled as she walked into the bed
"NN-Nicole .. I love you" said Richard who was still asleep, but spoke without realizing
"I love you too, Richard, and I would do anything to keep our family happy and out of danger" she told herself as she turned off the light
"A mother's work never ends, tomorrow will be a long day .." said as she closed her eyes, as she was ready to sleep
