I do not own Mahou Sensei Negima.
Mother's Love
Chapter Two: Question
"That's right. I'm your mother."
"But, how could that be possible?"
"Your father erased my memory of it after you were born. He went a little overboard and erased when he came back, too. I spent a while in here so that none of the others would notice."
"But…this doesn't make any sense."
"Get some rest, Boya."

"You're kidding."
"No," Negi said as he and Evangeline looked at the wreckage that was his room. When he had deflected the vampire's spell, it had ricocheted and decimated the room.
"You need somewhere to sleep. Come on," Evangeline said, leading Negi to her room.
"But, Master, this is your bed, and—."
"And a mother must keep an eye on her son," Evangeline said as she pushed Negi onto the bed. This is going to take some getting used to.
She crawled under the bedcovers and ordered Negi to do the same. He fell asleep almost immediately and wrapped his arms around Evangeline, muttering something about "Mom."
Evangeline felt something give way in her chest. Somewhat like, "Bah-bump. Bah-bump." She wrapped her arms around her son and felt at peace for the first time in 15 years. She felt that she was supposed to be there. That this was how she was meant to be. That she could be happy without lying through her teeth.
She wasn't entirely sure that it was her maternal instincts kicking in.
All right, don't shoot me for it being so short. This was a chapter made to show that Eva's got some hidden emotions concerning Negi. Quite a bit of foreshadowing, don't you think? Review!
