Take a Look through My Eyes
Chapter 1: Life as a Mother
The
stars twinkled in the night sky as Arabella sat in her window sill
thinking about her life. If she had been told that she would be the
mother of his
child
ten years ago, she would've called them crazy. Life as a mother was
difficult especially if the father was always away at sea. Not that
he was a bad father and didn't care about his child. No, he just
needed to be out at sea otherwise he was sure to die. The sea was his
life and Arabella couldn't blame him for that. She had learned how
to handle her child on her own. But now as she stared out that
window, she really wished he was around more often. For she did love
him with all her heart and he did as well. She really did miss him,
but he needed the sea as much as he needed air to breathe.
Life
may have been hard, but she wouldn't change a thing. Her daughter
was the most precious possession she had and she would never give her
up for anything in the world. The child meant the world to her.
Everything about her made Arabella smile. Her hair was as curly as
her mother's, but was dark brown just like her father's. Her face
was a mirror image of her father's, but she had her mother's
smile. Nothing pleased Arabella more than to see her daughter play
with her doll or run around outside. But what really made Arabella's
heart fill with joy was when her child would laugh her sweet giggle
that sounded so much like her own when she was little.
To Arabella, her child, Isabella Rose Sparrow was perfect. But alas there was one problem that she couldn't fix. Isabella, or as her father called her Izzy, was blind.
Author's notes: I know I really should be working on other stories, but this idea came to my head and I just had to post it. Please tell me what you think. I'll have chapter two up in a little while. Please review and I'll give you a cookie or meat pie.
