A two and a half year oldlittle boy ran down the stairs and into his mom. "Mama, mama me hungry is dinner done" the little boy said . He was a spitting image of his father but held his mothers bright blue eyes. His mother giggled and smiled at him as his said his incomplete sentence. She crouched down to his level and stroked his cheek while saying " It will be ready in a few minutes baby, why don't you be a good little boy and go sit down."
A couple of minutes pass by and Lilly is done making the food and just finished setting up the table. "Now be good little boy and eat up all your vegetables" she said to her son Aiden. Half way through the dinner Lilly looked up at the dining room clock and let out a soft sigh. Aiden stops eating and looks up at his mom and asks, "mama where daddy?".
Oh honey only if I knew I would tell you, she thought to herself . She looks down at her son and smiles softly while saying, "Your daddy is busy working so he can buy you all the toys you want." He smiles excitedly and continues on eating his food. Half an hour later they were done eating dinner and still no sign of Joe. "While mommy's finishing up the dishes can you go upstairs and wait for me to I give you your bath ?" she asks. The little boy responded by running up the stairs not bothering to give a spoken response.
After giving Aiden a bath she wraps him and a towel and pulls close to while giving him a kiss on the nose. "There now you are a cleaned up" she tells him with a smile in her voice. The little boy just smiles and giggles into his mother chest while saying "I'm alwaves cwean mama." She smiles and lets go of him and gives him a gentle little push "Now go brush you teeth baby." After doing as his mother told him he ran into his bedroom to find his mom waiting there for him. She quietly dressed him in his pj's and tucked him into bed. Sitting down on the chair besides his bed she asks softly. "do you want mama to read you a bedtime story?" He nod while saying "Is daddy gonna be home soon to say goodnight?"
She shakes her head softly and while looking down she says "No baby boy I'm sorry he's not." With a quivering lip and tear filled eyes he looks at him mom sadly and lets out a soft "oh." She looks at her son sadly and read him the story, not long after she sees he's asleep. She kissed his forehead softly and murmured a soft "goodnight" and left the bedroom quietly. As she descended down the stairs she see's Joe coming in. As Joe turns around he see's Lilly standing there glaring at him with her now ice cold blue eyes.
