Twisted Events Chapter 2-Care Bear Mania

In a blink of an eye it is four years later and MJ has grown up to be quite a pretty little girl. Every time Lu looked into her daughter's eyes she saw herself as a child. She knew that she had done the right thing by not telling MJ about her real mommy and what had happened. Although Syd calls 2 times every month to talk to MJ and to check up on her Lu hasn't heard form Joanie not once. She is living up to what she said in the hospital and staying out of this child's life. Lu is drawn away from her thoughts by MJ tugging on her skirt trying to get her attention.

"Mommy! (in a whining tone) MOMMY!"

Lu whom had been thinking really about all that had happened over the past four years snaps back to reality and answers her young daughter.

"What do you need MJ?"

"(whining) Mommy I cant find Marc!"

"What have I told you about whining MJ?"

"I don't know"

"Don't whine! Did you check outside and in his room?"

"Yes, but mommy he isn't there!"

Lu picks MJ up and spins her around 5 times

"hum maybe he's hiding if I recall correctly its somebody's birthday today! Who could that be?"

"(very excited) Me Mommy its me! Its my birthday today .......Marc said he would take me to the Zoo because you have to work today. So he said I could have a party with the aminals.

"That's right I do have to work but do you want to see your surprise first?"

"yeah! Yeah! Mommy! What is it? What is it?

"what did you say you wanted?"

"A Care Bear room mommy?"

"Yup go and see"

MJ runs into her room to find that it had been completely redone in Care Bear. Her new Care Bear bed had Care Bear Sheets, Pillowcases, Blankets and Teddies , There were Care Bear curtains on the windows. Her room had been completely redone in Care Bear.

"Do you like it?" Lu asked her totally stunned daughter

"(running to her mom and giving her a hug) I LOVE IT MOMMY THANK YOU!" "I have to go to work now" Lu started regretfully "MJ sweetie Marc is going to take you to the zoo (hands Marc two fifty dollar bills) Here's money to get in and then you and MJ can spend the rest on food and souvenirs. Have fun and Happy Birthday MJ."

"Thank you mommy I love you!"

"I love you too angel. Be a good girl for Marc."

"I will I promise"

"Oh Marc! I almost forgot don't forget to drop MJ off at Cindy Lu's house today at 4:30."

Marc gave his Mom a look and then answered

"Don't worry about MJ mom I've got it all under control."
