Motherhood
Helena's P.O.V
I wake up to see my daughter's sleeping face. It has been a week since she came into our lives. Our little Laura, The perfect mix of myself and Alex. Even though she wasn't made by conventional means she is still our daughter and we love her with all our hearts. Speaking of Alex he had to help Ryu with something he really didn't want to leave but he had to. He has been gone for two days. I do wish he was here. I'm only twenty three and I can only draw on what my mother and I did when I was little. Not to say that Laura is nothing like me it's just she also has a lot of her father in her. I wish we could go to a park but that would cause a lot of hard questions that I can't answer at least right now. I feel her starting to wake up. "Good morning mommy." She says sweetly. I smile "Good morning my little Laura." She giggles. "Are you hungry sweetheart?" she nods so we get up and head downstairs. As we enter the dinning area we are greeted by the chef. "Good morning Miss Douglas and Laura." Only the staff here know who Laura really is. Alex made sure none of them would inform the media. How he did this I don't know but I can guess that he made some sort of threat. Anyway it worked and that is all that matters. We sit down and tell him what we want for breakfast. I order some pancakes because Alex had a habit of making them for me and I got used to them. Laura just asks for fruit loops. As we eat our breakfast Laura seems sad "Something wrong with your breakfast Laura?" "No it's fine I just wish I could go out and play." I can't imagine how hard it is for her. Even though she is only a few weeks old she has the the body and mind set of a six year old girl. "Well Laura this mansion has a very big backyard with I big pool if you want we could go swimming." Her eyes light up. "Really mommy!?" "Yes. But we have to wait an hour after we finish eat." She has a big smile on her face. We finish eating and go to the living room. We watch the news to see the weather. We sit on the couch and Laura turns to me. "Mommy when do you think daddy will be home?" As if on cue my cell phone rings. "One minute honey." I answer the phone. "Hello?" "Hey Helena." It was Alex. "Alex where are you?" "I'm on my way back I should be there in a few hours." "OK Laura and I will be in the pool." "OK love you." "I love you too." I hang up my phone. "Was that daddy?" I smile. "Yes he will be home in a few hours." Laura smiles and then she curls up next to me. I find my hand running through her hair. She may look like me but her hair and eyes are as brown as her father's. Her skin isn't pale like his is though . It's like mine. But I feel her quietly breathing as if she was sleeping.
An hour later
with Laura awake we head for the pool. I am wearing my gold one piece suit. While Laura wears a purple one piece it covers more then mine does. As we swim and play in the water Laura shows that she is a natural swimmer. I still try to keep her out of the deep end though. I am new at being a mother so it will take time to get used to this but as long as Alex and I work together we can do it. "Hey there are my girls." Alex just walk in the pool gate. "Daddy!" Laura jumped out of the pool and hugged her father tightly. "There's my little Laura." he picks her up. "I hope you have been good for mommy." I get out of the pool. "She has been an angel." Alex puts Laura down and we dry off. "Let's head inside." the three of us head inside. I don't know what will in our way but what ever it is we'll overcome it as a family.
Hey my readers I this will be a series of oneshots that I will add to when I have the time.
