Drabble Notes – A family story between Aleena and her son Mase from Cari's series Colour. Mase is a child here and this contains some spoilers for Colour, but nothing that isn't directly obvious to those who know the series. Also, extremely fluffy.

He knew that he had to be gentle with his mother while she was pregnant, dad had told him so. Which meant he couldn't run and jump around her, but he still wanted to spend time with her.
So he'd decided to take her walking in the garden. His mother loved the palace garden so much and little Mase liked to see her happy.
After watching the flowers for a while Aleena turned to her son and asked, "Are you looking forward to being a big brother?"
"Of course mother," he answered positively, "There's one thing that's bothering me though…"
"What's that honey?"
"I don't know if I'll have a brother or sister," Mase responded with the serious tone children took when talking about an important matter, "If I have one or the other I might have to treat them differently."
"Which would you rather have?" said Aleena with an understanding smile.
"I don't really know… If I had a brother then we could play football and do boys stuff together, but if I have a sister she'd be nice like you… So I can't decide."
"You might not have to," Aleena informed him.
"Huh?"
She had lost her son so she decided to clarify, "I'm not just having one baby Mase, I'm having two: a boy and a girl."
Mase's face split into a grin, he was getting the best of both worlds.
