Chapter 6, Losing My Mommy…
Chuckie unpaused the video, and continued his story.
Chuckie POV
Well, you guys remember how when I gotted potty trained, I tolded you that it was the worstest thing since my mom put me on the bottle? Well, putting me on the bottle was the worstest thing. After I was bornded, and came home from the hopcickle, I was the happiest baby alive, as I drank milk out of my mommy, enjoyed time with her outside in the backyard, and exploring the most beautiful flowers I had ever seen. Mommy would show me a new flower everyday, and let me sniff it and play with it.
"Chuckie, this is a dandelion." Said my mommy, as I held a dandelion for the very first time.
I giggled as I blew the fuzzies off, and put the flower into my mouth. My mommy took it away, but I didn't mind. When I was with my mommy, I felt safe and happy. But one day, that all started to change. When I awoke that morning, I didn't have my milk out of mommy, instead, it came from a bottle. I didn't like the bottle, and it's kind of hard to explain, maybe because I didn't like things to be different. I wanted everything to stay the same. I tried to not drink from the bottle, but it was no use. Mommy made me drink from it anyway.
"Come on Chuckie, be a big boy for mommy." My mommy said encouragingly, trying to get me to grow up faster than I wanted to.
One day, I finally gave in, and it's a good thing I did, because not long after that, my mommy started to disappear. The firstest time I noticed mommy was gone, was when daddy took me to stay with these lovely people down the street. Like my mommy, the lady who took care of me did have red hair, and was very sweet, but she wasn't my mommy. Actually Tommy, it was your mommy, but I didn't know this at that time. You weren't bornded yet. And then, there was this baby with blond hair, who was a little bit older than me. I grabbed at the dolly she had in her hand.
"Hey! Give it back!" Snapped Angelica.
"Yucky! Yucky!" I said, pulling on Angelica's hair. I couldn't say Angelica at this time.
"Can't you say Angelica?" Snapped Angelica, as she lefted me in the playpen, to go watch something on the TV.
I didn't like this girl. She was so mean to me! But I liked the nice man and lady who took care of me. The man made really neat toys that I got to play with, and the lady, well, she would comfort me. But seems Angelica didn't like me getting their attention. She would pull on the lady's dress when she was already holding me, feeding me my bottle.
"Sorry Angelica, but we're feeding Chuckie right now. We'll play with you later." Said Didi, as she reached down with one hand, and stopped Angelica from tugging on her dress.
Angelica cried, and later, once we were back in the playpen, and I was sitting in that support pillow thing, Angelica crawled up to me, and punched me in the face. It hurt! And I started to cry!
"That's what you get for taking Aunt Didi and Uncle Stu away from me." Angelica snapped, sticking her tongue out at me.
But I kept crying, because I didn't know what else to do. I just wished right then my mommy would pick me up and hold me, and even more so, she'd take me home, away from this mean little girl.
Then, came a new thing. Solid food. It looked strange to me, the orange and brown stuff that was on my plate.
"Don't you want to try your carrots and sweet potatoes Chuckie? They're really good." Said my daddy, who took a bite of the stuff that was in front of me. But it was no use, I wasn't hungry, and this stuff, just, didn't look all that interesting. I was more interested in watching the peoples around me. A skinny guy with blue hair and a large woman with brown hair walked into the kitchen at that moment, to talk with my daddy, and the nice couple who had been taking care of me, Stu and Didi.
"Well Didi, I've got some exciting news." Said Betty, as she took a seat at the table, and sipped on a cup of coffee that had been placed in front of her.
"What is it?" Didi asked.
"I'm pregnant! With twins!" Said Betty excitedly.
"Oh wow that's wonderful!" Said Didi, giving Betty a hug.
"Congratulations!" Said my daddy, who also joined in the group hug.
I smiled at this, as maybe I'd get some new friends to play with. Eventually, I started to grow hungry enough, to pick up some of the sweet potatoes and try them, and to my pleasant surprise, they were good! Daddy looked over to see me, my hands covered in sweet potatoes, and me eating them.
"Chuckie's eating solid food for the first time. Way to go little guy." My daddy said with a smile, as he picked me up and gave me a hug. But then, my daddy frowned.
"What is it Charles?" Didi asked.
My daddy sighed.
"If only Melinda could have been here to see Chuckie eat his first meal." Said my daddy, as he shrugged his shoulders.
And that's, when it hit me. Mommy was disappearing. I had noticed that daddy had been tucking me in at night, and I saw daddy nore often than mommy, but maybe my mommy was a lot like Angelica's. Maybe she had to be busy with work, something I hearded Angelica's daddy talk about a lot when he'd pick her up. Of course, I didn't care what the grown ups talked about, I was just glad to see Angelica gone.
I continued to eat my food, avoid Angelica as much as possible, and snuggle up on Didi's shoulder when my daddy had to go to work. I was about to lose hope in ever seeing my mommy again, until one day. She was the one to pick me up from Stu and Didi's, but something looked different. She was wearing some scarf thing on her head, and her prettyful orange hair, well it was gone. But she still had the sweet, soothing voice, she always had.
"Hey Chuckie, mommy's here." I heard my mommy say from the entrance of Stu and Didi's living room. It was then that I crawled for the firstest time, and crawled all the way to my mommy. It was a long, scary way to her, but I had to get to my mommy.
"Look at that Chuckie, you crawled!" Said my mommy, who picked me up, and gave me a kiss on the forehead.
That night, when she tucked me into my crib, she gave me a new bear to sleep with.
"This is Wahwah Chuckie. He'll keep the monsters away, and give you hugs when I can't be here to give them to you." Said my mommy, looking down at me, as I took the bear from my mommy, and gave it a hug.
Mommy then gave me a kiss goodnight, and before leaving the room, she did one of the things I enjoyed mostest, she sang to me.
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine.
You make me happy, when skies are gray.
You'll never know dear, how much I love you.
Please don't take, my sunshine away.
After mommy finished singing to me, she turned out the lights.
"Goodnight Chuckie. I love you." My mommy said, as she blew me a kiss from the door, and closed the door behind her.
"Wahwah." I said, snuggling up with Wahwah, and drifting off to sleep.
But guys, that was the lastest time my mommy ever put me to bed, and it was only a matter of time, before she would be nothing more, than a dream.
End of Chuckie POV
At this point, Chuckie paused the video tape, which shoed an image of Chuckie lying in his crib, hugging Wahwah, and falling asleep.
"Oh wow Chuckie, so, what happens next?" Jesse asked.
"Well, uh, guys, I need to go potty, so maybe since I believe Phil and Lil were bornded next, I believe we're up to that in our story." Said Chuckie, handing the remote to Phil and Lil.
The twins started to fight over the remote.
"Hey! It's mine!" Lil snapped.
"I believe Chuckie gave ie to me Lillian!" Argued Phil.
"No me Phillip. Besides, I was bornded firstest, so I should be the one to tell the story." Argued Lil.
"No me!" Argued Phil.
"No me!" Said Lil.
"Me!" Said Phil.
Just then, Peter reached in and took the remote from the fighting twins.
"I'll work the remote, you two just stop quarreling and tell your story." Said Peter, as he unpaused the video, so Phil and Lil could tell their story.
And we'll hear Phil and Lil's story, in the next chapter.
