"It is a beautiful morning here at Seattle City, I hope everyone is enjoying their day so far" the voice came from the radio that was on the night stand next to the bed, a still made bed; it had minor wrinkles and a motionless but feminine body on top of the sheets and blankets.
"Mommy……Mommy…..Wake Up!"
"Mom I'm going to be late, and I it's not what I want to be on my first day at school!" the little boy cried out to his mother.
He was a very sweet boy, about six years old and he really resembled his dad. He had perfect hair, dark and gorgeous blue eyes, but he also looked like his mom, really fair skin, a cute nose and good teeth.
"Mom!" he continued without apparent response for the woman in the bed.
"Come on mom!"
The woman in the bed woke up and in less than two seconds was out of bed.
"I'm awake! I'm awake! What is it, honey?" the woman named Meredith replied a little startled for having woken up so suddenly.
"Mom why are you still wearing yesterday's clothes? And where is dad?" the little kid asked.
"Your dad had a very important surgery yesterday and I guess he couldn't make it home……" she trailed of thinking about the past night.
She remembered arriving home from the hospital, she had been with her husband on an emergency craniotomy, then he had to go resolve some administrative stuff but he told her to go home, she did so but when she arrived Michael, her son, was already sleeping in his bed.
She didn't really care and woke him up to say hi, after telling him a bed time story she decided to wait for her husband watching TV in the bed and that was it, the next thing she knew it was already morning and she was alone, probably her husband was still in surgery or something.
"Mom? Are you alright?" Michael asked.
"Yes, sweetie, I'm fine, but you are not because you will be late" she responded
"I know." He answered while her mom went to the bathroom to arrange her hair and wash her teeth.
"Let's go" Meredith said. Taking her little boy downstairs, "you will need something to eat at school." she said while entering the kitchen.
"I already have something; Glenda prepared my lunch box last night." Michael said while showing his already holding a lunchbox hand.
"Right, Glenda. Well then let's go" Meredith said as she grabbed the keys to her SUV.
