"I must have embarrassed you, Maddie." Beca lounged on the couch that evening after she was cleared to go home after the little incident that afternoon.

Maddie whisked her head quickly to her Mom."No way, Mommy. You were so great. It was so awesome." Maddie smiled to her as she was starstruck with Beca's running. She was curled up in Beca's arms.

"Mommy, you will never leave me, right?" As Maddie asked in the quiet tone that vibrates in Beca's chest as she curled up to her.

"Maddie, look at me." Beca glance down to Maddie as the young red hair looked up from the comfort of Beca's chest." I'm not going anywhere without you." She reassured Maddie.

"Promise?" As baby blue eyes searching her soul for confirmation.

"Promise. Pinky swear to the Cloudland." Beca smiled softly as she kissed Maddie's hair.

"Let's settle you to bed. It's getting late now."She hugged Maddie tightly as she stands up from the couch.

" Your getting heavier, Little Red. Soon, I may not able to pick you up. My baby growing so fast. You may not my baby anymore." Beca teased playfully her daughter as she carried her towards the bedroom.

"No, I'm not, Mommy. I'm your only baby." Maddie pouted even her eyes close. Beca chuckled in replied.

"Mommy, you should bring your umbrella always now."Maddie mumbled softly in Beca's neck.

"Why?" She raised her brow in question.

"Aunt Stacie said that it will rain, soon." Maddie replied in her sleepy tone as she hugged Beca's neck tightly.

Beca gently laid down Maddie on her bed."Okay, I will. Goodnight then, Little Red. I love you."

"Love you too, ." Beca kissed Maddie's forehead and slipped the penguin stuff toy in Maddie's arms and left the bedroom.


-Beca's bedroom later that night-

"What are you looking for?" Chloe's voice rang in the background through the silent of night.

"A four-leaf clover, Mama. You said if we find 10 of them a wish will come true." Maddie's voice replied in the background.

"What's your wish then, Maddie?" Chloe asked the 5 years old Maddie as she carefully searched through the grounds.

"For you to be healthy."Maddie innocently smiled as she looked up to Chloe.

"Thank you, Honey. Mama will be healthy." Chloe gently stroked Maddie's hair as she was touched by her daughter's wish. "Promise?" Maddie staring innocently. "Promise, Pinky swear to the Cloudland." Chloe winked and softly smiled to Maddie and look back to the camera softly smiled.

Beca swallowed a large lump in her throat, as eyes turned to misty, as she watched again the interaction of Chloe and Maddie that she captured in video, in one of their walked in the nearby forest, near to their house.


-Few days later-

The sound created by the rapid drops of water in the glass window pull out the young red hair from her sleep. Maddie animatedly leaped from her bed to look up outside her window, decorated with six clover leaves taped in the glass, as excitement spread across her face with messy hair, as she confirmed that it was indeed raining, as raindrops flowing in her window.

She hurriedly ran towards her mother's room. The frantic sound of her footsteps in the silent of morning somehow wake up Beca in her sleep. Right after the sound of footsteps and a thud of the opening door, Maddie's thrilled voice echoed in the room as she was shaking Beca to wake up.

"Mommy! Wake up it's raining. Let's go see to Mama."Maddie excitedly spoke and run again back to her room to get her yellow raincoat and boots.

Beca was rubbing her eyes and still in a drowsy state lying in the bed when she heard again Maddie 's frantic footstep drifting away. She jumped out of bed, grabbed her jacket quickly, and hurriedly follow her daughter, who already gone outside the house.

"Maddie! You'll catch a cold! Wait!"Beca runs hurriedly, as she was opening her umbrella, to follow her daughter.

"Mommy, hurry up. Mama is waiting."Maddie yelled excitedly while running at full speed through bushes towards to the abandoned train station nearby, holding her small yellow umbrella, followed closely by Beca.

"Mama!" Maddie shouts as she looks around as she arrived at the train station.

"Mama! Where are you?" She walked and glanced aimlessly around searching for Chloe.

"That's weird. Where's Mama?"As she keeps looking around. "She's not here yet?" Softly mumble to herself as sadness slowly creeping in her face.

Beca, witnessing the scene, watched sadly her daughter, as the rain slowly stopped.


"Do you want to go now?" Beca asked softly, sitting beside her daughter on a bench, after Maddie stopped her searched a while ago.

"No!I'm not leaving." She pouted with misty baby blue eyes. Beca just sadly sighed as she properly clasped Maddie's raincoat button. "You'll catch a cold."She spoke worriedly.

"I'm still not going!" Maddie stubbornly replied in cracked tone.

Beca just gently stroked Maddie's hair and spoke patiently. "Maybe something must have kept her from coming today. So, let's come next time again"

"No! Mama said she would come with the rain!" Maddie won't bulge.

"You know what, that's enough. Let's go home. You're going to get sick here." Beca grabbed Madie's umbrella and picked her up from the bench as she starting to lose her cool of Maddie's stubbornness.

"No! She said she would come today!" Maddie started yelling. "Put me down! Mommy." As she starts kicking trying to get lose in Beca's hold.

"Maddie! What did I say about being stubborn?" Beca sternly whispered to her daughter's ear as she held her safely.

Maddie suddenly stops kicking knowing Beca's tone."It's bad." She quietly answered and started to calm down. "I'm sorry, Mommy." In her broken voice that breaking Beca's heart. Beca exhales deeply to calm herself before she spoke again.

"Yeah, it's not nice, okay? You're not paying attention. But you're forgiven. Just don't do that again."Beca softly whispered to her daughter. Maddie nodded and hugged Beca's neck tightly.

Beca slowly walked back on their track as she spotted a figure in the dimly narrow train tunnel.

"What's that?"As she was baffled of something appeared out of nowhere. Maddie turned around quickly.

"It's Mama!" She loudly said. Beca quickly covers her lips as her heart familiar beat come rushing in.

Beca signaled Maddie to kept quiet when she put her down in the corner near the tunnel.

"Why? I want to go to Mama." Maddie protested. Beca's nervousness skyrocketed of Maddie's persistent out of her denial. It can't be Chloe. She's dead.

"You wait right here. I'll go check first, okay?" As she looked back to the figure.

"No!" Maddie adamant not to be left behind.

"Maddie! Just stay." Maddie nodded.

Beca cautiously walked slowly but Maddie follows her. Beca groaned in her daughter's stubbornness."Just stay behind me."She instructed Maddie.

One, two,three, four. Beca mentally counting to calmed the rapid beating of her heart as she was getting close to the figure sitting at the end of the tunnel.Red hair. Beca breath hitched as she caught the color of the stranger's hair. She quickly stopped.

"It's Mama, right?." Maddie asked.

"Wait." Stopping Maddie to move forward.

"Calm down. Relax." Beca muttered to herself as she checked the frantic throbbing of her heart.

"She could be a ghost." She replied in alarmed tone.

"Who cares? She's Mama." And it made sense to Beca. It's just Chloe.

"Right." Beca agree as she drifted away temporarily of her daughter's answer.

Beca's response triggered Maddie to run hurriedly to the stranger.

"Mama!." Maddie yelling excitedly. Beca eyes went wide that break her thoughts when Maddie's voice rang inside the tunnel.

"Maddie! Stop."Beca quickly follow her. "No, Don't touch her." But it's too already, she rapidly shaking the stranger's shoulder as she kneeled beside her.

She looked back and forth from Beca to Maddie before she focused to Beca Her baby blue eyes piercing to Beca's steel one in confusion and anxiety as she opened her mouth.

"Who are you?" Chloe spoke for the very first time.
