*TESSA* “Who’s mommy’s sweet girl?…it’s Leah…it’s you…the most adorable baby in the world.”I cooed happily as I rocked Leah in my arms. Two weeks had passed since my mom and I reconciled and I was so happy living with her. She had gone out to get some vegetables and I was alone with my baby. I h

I was glad. My mother walked out of her bedroom. “I had come to your bedroom to tell you that lunch was ready but you were asleep.I left yours in the pot.” “Thanks,mom,” I quickly walked into the kitchen and dished out the meal. I had to eat before Leah wakes up. I sat at the dining table and

*TESSA* Not even knowing what to say to her,I spun and walked away. When I got home to my daughter,I was super happy and relieved that the nanny had taken good care of her. By evening,my mom got home. “Tess,you didn’t have anything at the party so Ash told me to bring these to you.“ I stared at
