Mummy - 1
Jonathan opened his eyes and noticed that Martha wasn't in the bed. He walked out the room wearing just shorts. Martha was in the corridor, at the little Clark room's door.
"What are you doing here? It's seven in the morning" said her husband.
"He sleeps as an angel…" whispered Martha "Don't you think it's the best thing in the world"
"You need sleep, Martha… Since the boy's here you I find you here every night… you're not resting enough… and that can't be good…"
"I'm sorry, dear… But there's not a night that I don't dream again that when I wake up he's not here… And I need to come every day to make myself sure that he still where I left him…"
"Martha, I've already said you that it would be better if you try to not take too many illusions… As he has arrived here, his parents can come to take him back…"
"No. I'm sure that he needs us… There's a reason because he found us in the field… I just wish that he'll be able to see us as his parents, too…"
Jonathan kissed his wife forehead and went back to the room to dress himself. Martha walked into Clark's room and sat on the bed next to him. She left her body lay over him and hugged that little boy who had spent just a few days with them and who she already felt as hers as if she had born him.
"I love you, my baby" whispered Martha kissing the child's cheek. And the boy opened his little eyes and saw the sweet red-haired in front of him. He didn't say anything; he hadn't spoken too much since he was there. Jonathan said that was because he was feeling weird with them… and Martha always answered to that comments saying that it had passed just a few days, and the little Clark needed some more time to get use to them. She said that what he just needed was to feel himself loved for them… that was what all children need.
"Good morning, sweetheart…" whispered Martha "Would you like to come with mum to the town today? I have to go shopping… and we can buy some sweets…" The boy didn't answer but nodded with his head with a big smile in his face. Martha hugged him and walked to the wardrobe to take some clothes for him.
Later, in the town, Martha was carrying some bags and Clark was eating a lollypop, as they entered to the bank.
"Wait me here, sweetheart, it will be just a while…" said Martha leaving Clark in a chair with the bags. And the boy stayed there without say anything, just licking his lollypop, as three men dressed in black went in.
Martha was waiting her turn when she listened a shoot. One of the three men that had just entered had killed the security guard of the bank and was now showing everybody the gun. The other two were armed too.
"Clark!" shouted Martha in the middle of the panic.
Clark run towards his mother and hugged her from her waist. Martha smiled seeing that he was fine.
"Don't worry, sweetheart, all will be fine…" whispered her hugging him against her breast.
"Listen everybody!" shouted one of the men "All will be just something you'll be able to tell tomorrow if you collaborate with us, ok?"
"Now, shut up and don't move!" said the other "I want to see everybody on the floor.
