Home for a Moment
By Seraph Maclay
After a five-minute ride through town, Sera came to a stop at another house. It was a three story, white Victorian, beautifully redone by her mother. Also, the view of the lake behind the house was amazing. And to think… that her mothers could redo something this amazing still didn't faze her.
Walking into the house, she sees her mom at her computer and her mommy obviously elsewhere. "Hey Mom," she says walking towards the computer desk.
"Hey, Sera," the redhead at the computer says. "How was your day?"
"Decent; yours?"
"It was good," Willow begins her ramble, "well any day I don't have to go in the office and get to spend all day with your mommy is a good day."
Sera then plops down into her armchair near the desk. "Faith says thanks for the fix on her jacket," she says.
"Just glad I could help."
"Hey you, two," a blonde woman says as she walks from the kitchen. "Dinner's ready."
"All right, Mommy," Sera says hopping up from the chair. She then looks at her redheaded mother. "C'mon Mom or I'll unplug your computer."
"You wouldn't dare."
"Wouldn't I?"
"C'mon you two," the blonde interrupts. "The noodles are getting cold."
After dinner, Willow called Sera back into the main room.
"So…" Willow begins. "…Tomorrow you leave."
"Yeah, Mom… tomorrow."
"Goddess so soon?"
"Mom, I am sixteen years old. I think I can take care of this."
"I hope so, Seraphea. I really do."
The use of Sera's full name drew her full attention to her mother. "Me too."
"Is Hope still going?"
"Yeah."
"Just don't do anything I wouldn't do."
"Sure thing, Mom."
Willow then looks at her daughter with a proud feeling only seen in the way only a mother really can. She smiles and hugs her daughter. "Now you go get some rest," she says. "Tomorrow, you travel."
Ok so not great yet, but also notice that I will not post another until at least 1 review is up.
