It's Just A Game

by Rollins221

Here's a little something that was inspired by the end of Season 4. Norma's not gonna die this time though. Not sure if this will be a one shot or multi chap.

Norma and 5-year old Norman were playing hide and seek when she heard crying. Realizing it must be him, she called out, "Norman?"

He came running. "Mother?"

"What's wrong, Baby?

"I couldn't find you. I thought you'd left me." he sniffled.

"Oh, Norman, we were playing hide and seek. It's just a game. You know I'd never leave you." She hugged him to her.

"But I couldn't find you anywhere!" he cried out.

"I'm sorry I hid so well. I didn't mean to scare you."

"You promise you won;t go anywhere?"

"Never, Norman. It's always you and me."

"Always?"

"Always. Come on, let's go watch a movie in my room huh?"

Norman lifted his arms. "Will you carry me upstairs?"

Norma lifted him onto her hip and carried him to her room.

A/N: Do you guys think this story is just a one shot, or do you wanna see more? And don't despair because chapter 21 of my other Bates story will be out soon!
