Hello again. It's been a while D: I'm REALLY sorry for not updating for about a year...things have been hectic and I've had a major case of Writer's Block. This was actually finished about 2 days ago...just haven't had time to actually post it. So i hope you enjoy this and hopefully you all don't hate me.
Disclaimer: I own nothing only the plot
Chapter 6
After making sure that Cornelius had turned the corner, Tallulah strode away from the park. Her old house is three blocks away and the sun is shining but Tallulah doesn't notice, she's too focused on seeing her mother. Not watching where she's going, she runs into a small body.
"Oof." The little girl gasps as she lands on the ground.
"Oh no." Tallulah inhales sharply. "I'm sorry!" Tallulah bends down to see if the girl is unhurt.
"I'm 'k." The little girl smiles brightly.
Tallulah gasps as the little girl turns to face her. Her flaming red hair is pulled back in two pigtails, and she's missing her front tooth but there's no mistaking it; Tallulah has run into her three-year old self.
The little girl starts to stand, still rather awkwardly, but steady enough. Tallulah reaches out to catch her if she falls.
"Tallulah?" A woman calls. "Tall-Tallulah!" A woman with red hair stands at the entrance to house just in front of them. Older Tallulah, scrambles to her full height, gaping at the woman. "Come inside right now! How many times have I told you to not wander off?" The woman, Tallulah's mother, orders; never taking her eyes off of the stranger that's her daughter.
The younger Tallulah scampers off to the house, her pigtails bouncing. Watching the stranger with distrust, her mother closes the door behind her.
Gaping, Tallulah edges her way towards the house. She walks up the porch steps and stands, staring at the front door. Unsure of what to do or when she decided to walk up to the house, she turns. To her surprise, the door opens to reveal her mother.
"Yes?" She huffs, watching her closely.
"Oh, I was...just wondering if this was the Robinson household?"
"It may be...who wants to know?" She asks suspiciously.
"I'm Tally. I'm looking for my aunt and uncle."
"Humph." The woman opens the door a little wider. "I don't know of any Tally..."
"Oh my mistake. I'm sorry for disturbing you." Tallulah begins to back up. "I'll just leave."
"Wai.."
"Hi darling." Tallulah's eyes snap up to the man walking up from behind her mother. He wraps his arms around her middle and rests his chin on her shoulder. "Oh? And who's this?" He smiles at her while nuzzling into her mother's neck, who closes her eyes in content.
Tallulah bolts, her dress flapping around her, her suitcase bumping into her calves. It's obvious they're in love, and are very comfortable with each other. Which makes this next discovery extremely hard to believe. Whoever that man was, was not her father.
