"Aw... Shush-shush-shush sweetie. Come on Wyatt. Go to sleep for mommy,
please?" I was so tired. I really didn't want to be awake rocking my six-
month-old baby to sleep.
I've been a single parent for about five months now. My, I guess you could call, ex-husband is on the council of Elders. The highest position for angels. As much as I miss him being around to help me raise Wyatt, I know that he's doing a lot of good being an elder.
"Aw, can my nephew not sleep?" Phoebe said sleepily as she entered my room.
"I've been at this for nearly an hour. You try to get him to quiet down." I said as I handed Wyatt to her.
"Okay big boy." Phoebe was talking her babyish talk again. "Let's go to sleep now because Auntie Phoebe has a big lunch date tomorrow." She was bouncing him up and down. "And there's this really cute I guy I wanna impress and-"
"Phoebe!"
"Oh right. Baby. Sorry." She turned her face to Wyatt. "Hey, he's asleep! I got him to sleep, look!"
I walked over to Phoebe. "Wow... You really did get him to sleep." I flopped down on my bed. "Pheebs, I'm a terrible mother.
"Aw... Sweetie. It's alright. So you couldn't get him to sleep for one night? Who cares?" Phoebe said sympathetically.
"No. You're not listening to me. He hasn't been able to sleep for nearly three days now, and I've been trying to get him to sleep. And I can't even do that." I could feel the tears welling up in my eyes.
"Oh sweetie. You're a great mother." She placed Wyatt on my bed. He'd been sleeping next to me for a few days now. "Wyatt is very lucky to have you as a mother."
I wish I could believe her. "No he's not. I am a screw up, Pheebs. I thought I had the whole mother thing down, but I don't." Hot tears were falling on my cheeks. "Remember the dragon last month? I could have prevented that. It was all my fault.
Phoebe sat next to me and wrapped her arms around my shoulders. "I know you're feeling vulnerable, incomplete, and miserable without Leo here, but you have to know that me and Paige are here for you. And we always will be."
"I know... But still..." I was starting to feel little bit better with Phoebe's comforting words.
"You should be getting some sleep now, Piper. You've got that meeting at P3 tomorrow, right? Er... today. Whatever."
I stifled a small smile. "You're right. And you've got that lunch date tomorrow." I wiped the tears away from my cheeks.
"Yeah... Good night." She kissed my forehead and left the room.
