It has been six hours since I left Cole in the hands of that clumsy teacher. I wonder what my little boy was doing at the moment. Was he eating? Napping? Making new friends?
Sighing in discomfort I sit by the window in the living room.
As I look at the snow falling outside in the winter air I'm reminded of a time when I was little, sitting in a fire place with Alex, Mara, and Aunt Julia and Uncle Kai.
Aunt Julia had short red hair that was cut in a tomboy fashion and had on a green sweater and black jeans. Her eyes were a dark brown. She always had a classy way about her that made me want to watch her constantly. Then there was Uncle Kai.
He had brown hair and green eyes that were full of life and always told stories to us kids. He was wearing a white sweater with brown triangle patterns on it that day. He was sitting on the couch with Mara and Alex while me and Aunt Julia sat by the fire. Suddenly I thought of a question I would have never asked, but always wanted to know.
"Aunt Julia, Uncle Kai, where's our mommy?"
Aunt Julia was taken back, and Uncle Kai seemed surprised. I wonder why? It was just a simple question. Uncle Kai scratched his head in the back and Auntie looked around the room for something. I stood on my tiny little legs and put my hands on her chest.
"Well? Where is she? And where's our daddy?"
"Yeah! Yeah!" Alex and Mara piped up.
Unlce Kai sighed and sat on the floor next to me and Auntie.
"Well, we guess you guys would find out sooner or later, so why not make it now." Auntie Julia said, sitting my directly in her lap.
"So I guess I better get started with the story, huh girls?" Uncle Kai asked.
"Yeah!" All three of us exclaimed.
Uncle Kai took in a deep breathe and started.
"Now before you three where born, long before even your mothers were born, there were two sides to a very special race of beings. These beings were known as the Chiropterans, beings who need sonstant blood to survive."
Mara, Alex, and my eyes got bigger as he continued. How could these beings have anything to do with us?
"But there was two sides to this race. And at the head of these two sides where beings who resembled humans but were much more...advanced, smarter and more human. Two sides controlled by two different types of queens. There was the Red side, who's queen was the Red Queen. Then there was Blue side, who ofcourse had the Blue Queen. Both queens were actually sisters, twin sisters. The queens could only give birth to twin daughters. Alex, Mara, you two come from the Blue side and Sonia you come from the Red. You two girls are very special and you'll need to remember that, ok?"
It was to bad I didn't realize sooner what Aunt Julia and Uncle Kai were preparing us couldn't they just have told us earlier? It would have been much more simple.
I get off the chair and walk toward the kitchen to get Cole's dinner ready. He and Kail should be back soon.
Just as soon as I thought it I heard the door open and Cole's voice coming from the front room.
"Mommy! Mommy!"
I open my arms and pick him up as he comes racing in.I snuggle him against my face as he wraps his tiny arms around my neck. No feeling can ever compare to this, my baby in my arms. I pull him back and look at him.
"Soooo, how was school?"
Cole makes a sour face shakes his head.
"Oh? So what went wrong?"
"A girl told me she wanted to marry me Mommy! Marry me!"
Woah. Wait a minute. What the hell did he just say?
