*Dream Memory*
"Come on, you have to catch me!" said the girl with brown hair as she smiled.
"Slow down so I can catch you," said the boy with brown eyes. He laughed and she ran until she reached the tree and started climbing it. The boy stopped running and looked up and yelled, "Stop! Before you get hurt!"
The girl looked down and smiled and kept climbing the boy murmured, "Mom is not gonna like this."
The girl rolled her eyes and said, "Well, mother is in the house, so stop talking, and come get me, Jeff, -ahh!" she had fell, cut her upper lip on a branch, and hit her head dangerously hard. She passed out, and Jefferson ran over dropping to his knees, cradling his sister's head. "Regina! Wake up, Regina! Wake up!"
"Present"
"Mommy! Wake up! Mommy, wake up!" says the blonde hair little girl. She lifts up her mommies eyelid, and a tan hand comes out to swat her softly. She giggles and says, "Mommy, wake up."
Regina mumbles, 'not now' and pulls the covers over her head. The three year old stands up and starts jumping on the bed while saying 'wake up!' over and over. Regina then pulls the covers down. "Okay. Okay. I am up," says Regina.
The little girl says, "I hungry," and giggles.
Regina looks over and smiles correcting the adorable little girl, "It is 'I am hungry'."
The little girl tilts her head and looks at her with greenish-blue eyes and her little tummy rumbles. regina smiles and laughs, "Come on, Baby. Let's go feed the beast in your tummy." She walks out of the room, carrying the little girl down stairs and into the dining room, where there's a high chair setup, and places her daughter in the seat making sure to strap her in.
She heads to the kitchen to make breakfast. A few moments later, she returns with well cut up pancakes and eggs, putting it on the tray of the highchair
The three year old grins and says 'thank you' and starts shoving it in her mouth like she's starving.
She turns back to go grabs her food and pulls out a chair and sits.
"You like it Davina?" Regina asks. Davina nods her head and shoves pancakes in her mouth.
" Whoa, whoa, slow down, Baby, before you choke," Regina warns softly. Davina pauses and takes the remaining food she stuffed in her mouth out and chews the food she has in her mouth slowly. Regina smiles and says "Good, Baby," as she continues eating her food and looks around thinking, 'How did I get here?'
FLASHBACK
Coming back from a doctor's appointment, a nine month pregnant Regina pulls up in front of the house and gets out. Walking the path to the house, she unlocks and opens the door and calls for Daniel. No one answers back. She closes the door then goes to turn the lights on nothing happens she goes to call for Daniel again, but before she could, she hears a noise from the study and sees the light on and thinks it's him. She goes to knock, but hears more than one voice and peeks and sees daniel kneeling, with four guys pointing guns at him.
Her hand flew to her mouth to stop the gasp threatening to come out.
" , I am only going to ask you one. More. Time. Where is my money and documents?" Mr white asks.
Daniel looked up and stared.
Leopold looked to his left nodding to the henchman. The man stepped forward and threw his fist back and hitting the kneeling man in the face, his head turning forcefully to the left.
Regina flinched and clenched her eyes close.
"Now. That's not what I asked you ," Leopold said.
Regina reopened her eyes and turned to go get her cell phone, but remember she left it in the car.
Daniel spits the blood out. "I don't know anything about your money or your documents," he said.
Leopold shakes his head and backs up. He walks to Daniel's desk and picks up a picture frame with him and Regina. "You have a beautiful wife. It would be a real shame if something happened to her," he said.
Daniel was violently shaking his head no and silently crying
"Now, now, there's no need to cry. All I want to know is where my money and documents are at, so I can be on my way. You and your beautiful wife can go on as life as you know it." He said
Daniel hung his head low and thought about regina and the daughter he would never see grow up, call him daddy, watch her take her first step, or walk her down the aisle. He looked up and saw something move within the mirror behind Leopold. 'Regina' he thought.
He smiled at her quickly and silently mouthed, "I love you" with his eyes revealing the sentiment, then turned back to leo and yelled, "GO TO HELL!"
Leopold turned around and walked to one of the guys.
"Again, that's not what I asked you, Mr. Colter," and took the gun from the guys hand, walked up to Daniel, and aimed the gun at his chest.
Regina whimpered and cried softly. As she watch the love of her life about to died
Leo took the safety off.
"Do you have any last thing to say?" the mob boss asked.
"Yea fu-" but he didn't get to finish before his near lifeless body dropped to the floor.
Regina let out a sob and felt something wet trickling down her leg and gritted teeth, as a sharp contraction hit her hard and stagger backwards, hitting the table behind her knocking over a vase.
As the glass shattered on the floor it could be heard outside the door. One of Leopold's guys turned around and walked slowly to the door.
Regina turns around and tries to quickly run to the door.
He opens the door and heard footsteps.
"She's here!" he shouted to his boss.
"Well, go get her and bring her back dead or alive," Leopold said.
Regina opened the car door and got in, she started the engine, put the car in drive and drove off. She kept driving until she is was too tired to drive anymore. Pulling over into a motel, she purchased a room feeling another contraction hit her hard.
"Ahhhh shit!" she said as she held her stomach.
She went to the bathroom and ran the water and waited until it reached the right temperature, then stripped and got in.
She exhaled then inhaled slowly,then screamed when another contraction hit her harder than the one before.
"I guess you're coming huh little one?" she said.
She put her legs on both sides of the tub and started pushing and pushing,she felt the baby by her thighs and pulled her up, regina was met with silence, no crying or movements, she rubbed the baby's back.
"Come on, Baby, cry for Mommy. Please, I can't lose you too ," she said.
Wailing filled the bathroom; Regina let the breath she didn't know she was holding seep from her mouth and started crying.
"Mommy's got you my beautiful baby. Mommy's got you," Regina said. The baby looked up and oddly familiar greenish-blue connected with her own chocolate brown eyes.
Regina knew right then and there she wasn't Daniel's but didn't care.
She looked down at her daughter with so much love, unable to keep the smile from her lips, the sob that came from her throat.
"Hello, Davina Grace Mills."
END OF FLASHBACK
"Mommy, I done," Davina said.
Regina rapidly blinked and looked at her and smiled.
"Ok, Baby. Let's get you ready for daycare," she said.
Greenish-blue eyes lit up as Davina looked up and held her arms out to be picked up.
About half an hour later, both of the Mills girls were and ready to go about their day.
Regina closed the door and locked it, putting Davina in her car seat, and strapping her in. She closes the door and walks to her side getting in and pulling off.
After dropping Davina off, she pulled up to the Mayor's Office and got out.
"Do I have any messages?" Regina asks. Her receptionist shook her head.
Regina walked into her office and around the desk, she sat down started her day as mayor.
"Have you found her yet?" asked the voice over the phone.
"No, I haven't yet," says the blonde.
"Well, keep looking. I don't pay to just sit around either you find her or I will hire someone else," says the voice.
"That's not necessary, Sir. I will find her," says the blonde.
"Dont contact me until it's done."
The blonde didn't have time to answer before they hung up.
The blonde had watched the brunette go in the office.
'What do they want with you?' thought the blonde.
