Okay, here it is. Part 2. It's nothing special, but I thik it's a nice little scene. Thanx to Aimz and Dulcey for thier help. :-)
"Daddy! Daddy!" I was awoken by the tiny voice of my five-year-old son. Then the shake of my bed as he climbed up to join me.
"Are we going to the zoo now?
I turned to check my alarm clock. 6:15. "Not yet Freddie. Let Daddy sleep."
"Awww." His tiny face dropped. "No aminals?"
The sheets beside me rustled as Frederick scrambled in. "The zoo doesn't open for another three hours sweetheart. No amin… I mean, animals yet."
At this comment he looked me straight in the eyes and tilted his head in disapproval. Just like his mother.
I often saw Lilith's traits in his mannerisms. Not surprising as he spent most of the year with her. I will admit that it was nice to have a little part of Lilith with me. The only time I ever got to see her nowadays was when we were picking up or dropping off our son. Even though we're now divorced, I thank God every day for our son. She was my best friend for the longest time. I don't think I could ever completely live without her.
"Okay. Let's get ready."
"Yay!"
As I walked back into the bedroom after my shower I found Freddie routing through his suitcase for some suitable clothes. After a minute he ran up to me and placed an oval object in my hand. It was a diamond broach, and not just any diamond broach, the diamond broach I had bought Lilith for our filth anniversary.
"Mommy's" Freddie suggested.
"How did this get in there?"
Frederick shrugged. It must've fallen into his luggage as Lilith was packing for him. But, that meant she was probably wearing it. I would've thought she'd locked it away in some dark hidden drawer.
With my thumb I flipped the broach over in my palm. As I expected, my eyes met the engraving I had requested.
'With all my love, forever.-Jelly-Bear.'
"Forever."
