To Love You More: Twelve-year old Lea Hudson grew up without a mom. All she wants to do is find her. Please read and review. Thank you! :)
Chapter 1:
There was a reason to smile as twelve-year old Lea Hudson woke up on a beautiful Saturday. First of all, it was the weekend. The weekend in which she gets to sleep in. The weekend in which she doesn't have to deal with school. She did her morning routine, showered, brushed, and grabbed clothes. It was a beautiful Spring weather in Lima, Ohio. She wore shorts and a white t-shirt.
She could smell pancakes as she walks down to the kitchen to join her father for breakfast. Her father Finn Hudson smiles at her. She greets him with a hug and kiss. "Good morning, cupcake." Finn said hugging his only daughter.
"Good morning, daddy." Lea smiles and sits down on the counter. "Breakfast smells great."
"Chocolate Chip Pancakes. It's your favorite." Finn smiles. Lea smiles back. "Can't wait! I'm starving!"
Finn continues to smile at her. There was something about his daughter that always reminded him of her mother. The fair skin, the hair, and the beautiful nose. "Daddy? Why do you keep staring at me? Do I have something on my face?"
"What?" Finn shook his head. "What? You just look like your..." He cleared his throat. "You're fine. Nothing's on your face."
Lea raised an eyebrow feeling confused. "Okay..then." She said. "Any plans this weekend?" Finn asked concerned.
He began to worry when he glanced at Lea who looked down with a frown on her face. "What's wrong?" He asked. Lea sighed and buried her face with her hand. She began to cry. "Cupcake! I didn't mean to make you cry. Please tell me what's wrong." Finn said walking over to his daughter sitting next to her.
He pulled her close as she cried on her shoulder. "It's a mother and daughter weekend with my friends. All of them are having fun without me because I don't have a mom! I don't know who she is!" Finn could feel his daughter's body shaking.
He sighed, feeling the pain of his daughter. "Oh sweetheart, I'm so sorry." He said rubbing her back. "I didn't know you were upset about this."
"I didn't want you to worry about me. Every now and then they would go out and do girly things. I never told you until now but it hurts me!" Lea sobs on her father's shoulder.
"Sshh, baby..ssh." He said kissing his daughter on the cheek. "How about we have a father-daughter weekend? Would that make you feel better?" Finn asked.
"I'm sorry! Daddy, I love you so much but...I need to know who my mommy is! Please, daddy! Please tell me something." She hasn't stopped sobbing.
Finn held her, crying along with his daughter. He knew this day would come. He knew she would be at the age in which all she wants to do is find out about her mother.
He wanted to tell his daughter about her mother. He wanted to tell her everything about her beautiful mother. Her voice and her successful career.
What he didn't want to tell her was the past.
He didn't want to tell his daughter Lea Hudson what exactly happened because he didn't want to crush his daughter's heart.
