"Baby…" Madeline spoke softly
Seb's defences crashed as he heard her words. He rushed to her giving her a big tight hug.
"Mommy"
Madeline smiled as he tightened his arms around her with her doing the same.
How did he recognise her. Her face was not the same, neither was her height or stature.
She couldn't ask him all this here, after they go out, they would have all the time to talk about it.
"Are you okay?"
"Why are you so late… I thought you didn't want me anymore" the boy choked with sobs. "I waited for a long time but you didn't come. I… I…"
She wiped his tears, cupping his cheeks in her hands. "Hmm… what did I tell you to do when you're in danger"
"Shout your name three times in the sky. I did that but you still didn't come. I did it. It's you" he jabbed her chest with his little fingers "it's you who didn't come…"
Her mind drifted back to the day she was handed Seb.
