One Beautiful Secret
Chapter 2 Bad Jobs and New Jobs
I rolled over into something soft and hard. I open my eyes and realize Gracie must have had a nightmare and came in to sleep with me. I push my covers off me and get out of bed my feet hitting the cold wood floor beneath them.
I slowly walked out of my room and into the kitchen to start the coffee. I sat down at the table to wait for it to be done.
I closed me eyes trying hard not to fall asleep, Gracie would be up soon and I needed to tell her something important today. When I hear a beep I get up and pour myself a cup of coffee.
I sit back down and pick up yesterday's paper and start reading. A few minutes later my cell phone rang. Hurriedly, so I wouldn't wake Gracie up, I ran over to me cell phone, which was in the living room.
"Hello?" I ask quietly.
"Hey Abby, I just thought you needed to know something before you came into work." Alex, one of my friends at work said.
"What is it Alex?" I ask tiredly.
"You've been fired. Just don't come in today ok and they said that there's a position open at a hospital in Chicago that's open if you want it. That's all they said." Alex told me and before I could say goodbye he hung up.
"Great." I thought.
"I don't want to move back there." I say to myself.
"But there's no choice we need the money." I keep talking to myself and start having idea's run through my head about where we would stay.
I'm pulled out of my thoughts by Gracie tugging on my shirt rim.
"Mommy I'm hungry."
I look down at her. She really has her daddy's features. What about him. Just great if I move back there he'll probably find me.
Without thinking twice I'm headed back towards the kitchen pouring a bowl or cereal and milk into a bowl for Gracie while I think.
"Mommy what's wrong?"
"Nothing baby just eat." I tell her smiling and faking it.
I know the position will be were I worked before, it would fit perfectly with my luck.
"Do you have to work today?" Gracie asked me filling her mouth with cereal.
"No." I tell her.
"How do you feel about moving sweetie? Would you like it if we moved to someplace bigger and mommy has a new job?" I ask her going to sit by her at the table filling my own bowl with cereal.
"Yeah!" She told me happily.
"Ok." I say knowing we have no other choice but to move so we will.

I pick up Gracie and put her on the couch.
"Your not supposed to sit right in front of the TV." I tell her as an explanation.
"But mommy!" She whines and jumps off the couch.
"No." I say flatly in my motherly voice, which she knows not to argue with.
She pouts and sits back on the couch.
"Mommy when are we moving to the big and cold city?" Gracie asked forgetting all about pouting and the TV.
"Tomorrow." I tell her which is true.
I had called Susan earlier and asked her if we could stay with her. She of course said yes and she couldn't wait to meet Gracie. I also asked her not to mention it to anybody there, I didn't want them to know I was moving back just yet.
"Why don't you go and start putting some of your toys in the boxes that are in your room?"
"Ok."
***********************************************
(Later That Night)
"Gracie!" I yell from my bedroom.
When I get no reply I start to worry, usually she comes when I call her or at least yells back.
I look in her room and find her asleep on her bed. I smile and go to tuck her in. When I sit down by her, her little eyes flutter open.
"Mommy?" She whispers.
"Yes baby?"
"I love you." She tells me then closes her eyes and falls back to sleep.
"I love you to baby." I tell my now sleeping daughter while leaving her room to go finish packing what little stuff we have.
