Emotionless

Chapter Two

Jude sighed as she flipped through her old journals. She remembered that day perfectly.

Jude sat back against the bathroom door after throwing up, again. She took a deep breath and pulled the pregnancy test out of the brown paper bag. "Watch out Mikey, here comes a new brother or sister." She quickly followed the directions and took a deep breath as she set it on the counter. She needed to wait 3-5 minutes. She decided to take a quick shower while she waited.

Jude washed her hair when she heard the timer go off in the distance. She rinsed the rest of the soap off her body and the shampoo out of her hair. Jude pulled the towel around her and looked at the pregnancy test. "Positive." She said to herself. After it really sunk in, she smiled and placed a hand on her stomach. She heard rustling in the bedroom and smiled, Tommy was home. "I can give him the good news."

Jude pulled on her small silk robe, knowing Tommy liked it, and opened the bathroom door to tell him about their new baby. Imagine her surprise when he already had his shirt off and his pants were being undone by some little whore from the studio. Oh, and her dress was already off. That was way more of any intern than Jude ever wanted to see. She turned around, throwing the pregnancy test away and walking right past them and out the bedroom. Tommy saw her and jumped off the girl and ran after her. "Jude! Jude wait!"

Jude turned around and noticed the bouquet of flowers that he had given her the week before, for their anniversary. Jude grabbed the vase and chucked it forcefully at his head.

Jude was pulled from her little flashback when there was a knock at the door. Jude looked up and saw a little body sucking on his thumb, waiting for her. Jude smiled and walked over to the little seven year old, "Vincent, what are you doing up?" The little blonde boy shrugged his shoulders and snuggled into his mother. Jude heard crying in the distance and walked over to her daughter's room. She opened it and saw another little seven year old cuddled up on her bed, crying. "Madison, what are you doing up baby?"

Maddie lifted her head and sniffled, "Mommy, I had a bad dream." Vincent looked up from his place on his mother's shoulder and nodded. Jude patted her little son's head and placed him on his twin sister's bed. Jude tucked them both in and kissed their foreheads. She noticed the clock and saw that it was midnight, way past their bedtimes. "There, now your brother can protect you." Madison scoffed, "Puh-leeze, he never talks!"

Vincent started to cry quietly and latched onto his mother, Jude sighed and held him. Madison was very vocal, while Vincent was her little baby, even though they were the same age. When she left Tommy she found out she was pregnant with twins, not just one baby. Jude kissed Madison's head, "Would you feel better if you slept in mommy's bed?" Madison nodded and climbed out of her bed and waddled over to the door and then into Jude's bedroom. Jude smiled and turned to the sweet little angle in her arms, of course she loved all her kids equally but this was her last little mommy's boy and she wanted him to stay like that forever. Jude kissed Vincent's head and brushed the hairs on his forehead a few times, "You wanna stay with mommy and Madison?" Vincent snuggled into her collar bone and nodded silently. Even though he was seven he barely spoke. Jude knew why, his first play date was with his best friend and when he went over there he watched as Sam, his best friend, got beaten by his dad and then watched his dad leave. Sam now lives with his older brother who is about twenty because their mother left shortly after he was born.

Vincent is very smart little boy, he understands that he doesn't have a daddy near by and he is lucky to have his mommy. That's why he is always staying near his mother and latching onto her. Jude stood up, holding Vincent close to her, and then walking into her own bedroom, seeing Madison already asleep she smiled and tucked Vincent in next to her. Vincent reluctantly removed his hands from her neck and snuggled into her sheets.

Jude smiled and brushed the hairs from both her little angel's hairs and kissed their foreheads. Vincent's eyes slowly began to close and Jude noticed Madison shiver beside her. She stood up and walked into the hallway to retrieve a blanket. She heard shuffling come from the front door and froze. She heard it open and then close, then someone tip toeing around. Then she watched her sixteen year old come into view, trying to sneak into the house. Jude crossed her arms over her chest and cleared her throat. "Just getting home Michael?"

She watched as the dark haired boy dropped his guitar case and jumped at the sudden voice. "Mom?" Jude nodded and took another step into the light that was illuminated through the window.

"Michael, your curfew is eleven, you are an hour late. I think taking a day or two from the studio with your friends for awhile." Michael's eyes shot open, "Are you serious? Mom! We just finished up a perfectly amazing song and I wanted to record it!!" Jude took another step toward him and put a finger to her lips. "Your brother and sister are sleeping in my bed. Let's not wake them up."

Michael sighed, "Alright, fine. I should go to bed anyway. I have a paper due next week that I now have plenty of time to work on."

Jude nodded and kissed Michel's cheek as he passed him to go into his own room. Jude smiled and grabbed the blanket to head back into her room. She placed the blanket over them and she felt a little hand wrap around her finger. She saw Vincent, still asleep, grasping onto her hand. Jude smiled and climbed between the twins and let them snuggle into her. Jude felt the bed dip under someone else's wait and looked over. She saw Michael in his boxers and a tank top holding Madison on his stomach and stroking her hair. Jude smiled and stroked his cheek, "I did good with you." She whispered.

Michael smiled and just buried his face in his little sister's hair and closed his eyes.
