-This chapter is in Marina's Mom's POV and it is Marina's first day of school.

Enjoy

...

"Aaww, but Mommy I don't wanna go" Marina spoke in a quiet, heart-breaking voice. I looked down at my beautiful 4 year old baby's face. I didn't want my baby to go. I could teach her. Couldn't i? No that's ridiculous. She needs to go. To learn, make friends and have fun with children her own age. I drew in a deep sigh and dropped down on my knees, so that I could look her straight in her emerald jewelled eyes.

"I know Darling, I know. But we all have to do it. I went once upon a time. And if you do go I will make the most delicious batch of white chocolate and raspberry cookies you have ever tasted." I smiled broadly at the last sentence. I knew they were her favourite.

Her perfect copper face lit up and her little head of raven black ringlets bobbed enthusiastically. I pulled her in for a hug and I kissed both of her chubby rose cheeks. We giggled together, when I ticked my nose over hers and gave her an eskimo kiss.

I stood by up and let go of her hand. I could see the teacher emerging from the school with a large umbrella, just as it started to rain. I smiled at her and gave her an encouraging push.

"Go on then Darling. I will see you at 3.30. Don't worry. Just be yourself. Go have fun." I could feel my eyes start to prick. She couldn't see me crying.

"Okay Mommy" Her eyes looked determined and her features were brave.

"Bye Darling" My tears were on the brink of overflowing now.

"Bye Mommy" I looked down as I saw a beautiful child with copper kissed skin and in a cranberry red coat skip off into the shelter of the infant's school.

My eyes overflowed with tears as I walked back to my tiny 2 bedroomed home. I was crying with joy, with the proud feeling for my little girl and because she was no longer little. She was growing up.

4 Months Later.

"-and I pwayed the sand pit with Jacobob, Qwil and Embee for ages-s. Then we pwayed with the trucks and I got the monster truck. Me, Jacobob, Qwil and Embee had lots of twucks. They so-o cwool! Then we pwayed-"

This was her usual long tailed description of her day at school. I giggled softly at her pronunciation, of her best friends names. Jacob Black, Quil Atera and Embry Call, all lovely happy boys in Marina's class at school. Even after the first day which I had been so worried about, they had all clicked like a jigsaw puzzle. They all made each other laugh. They shared a bond that panicked me at first because it was so strong.

I sighed in satisfaction of having Marina tell me about her day, again. She was always a very quiet child, not afraid but quiet. She had never had a male role model so I was trying to help her. She spoke well around me, still quiet. But when she was with other kids, she was almost silent. Somehow, these boys have changed her into a confident and louder child. Not that I minded in fact I loved it.

They were so good for her.
