His Hidden Child novel Chapter 10

Chapter 9:

Our luggage was rolled into our bedroom. I stood in the bedroom I once called mine.

Caitlin hopped around looking at the gigantic room in awe. I wouldn't blame her, she wasn't accustomed to such huge things. She looked at me her grin wide.

Caitlin ran over to Sin, who was sitting on the bed and tapped his knee. Sin looked down at her and smiled.

"What is it princess?" he questioned her.

She lifted her arms up. "Put me the bed pwease?" she asked her eyes looking widely at him. Who could resist?

Sin lifted her up as she giggled. He placed her on the soft bed making it difficult for her to stand. She tried but kept on falling over. She finally huffed and looked at the bed, then at me.

I shrugged my shoulders making it look as if I couldn't see a thing. She huffed again in frustration and looked at the bed, a frown on her face.

She wobbled up and finally caught her balance and started jumping up and down on the bed. I laughed as her smile made it's way back on her chubby face.

I didn't notice Sin walking up behind me. He bent his warm breath hitting my ear. "Mom Abigail wants to see you." I couldn't not smile.

I whipped my head towards him so quickly I thought I was gonna break my neck. "really?" I piped up.

"Yes," he said making me get all giddy inside.

Abigail was like the mom I never had. My mother didn't really care about what I did, and when I became independent she dumped me, but Abigail showed me a different side to a mother a loving and caring side I thought I'd never experience.

I walked up to Caitlin taking her from the bed and making my way towards Abigail's room.

I took a deep breath and knocked onto her bedroom door. She said a faint come in and I walked into the bright bedroom. The walls we painted on together stood straight but we're fading, the flowers by the window sill still looked radiant and blossomed.

Abigail walked out from the closet and looked at me tears filling her eyes. "Isabelle? Is that you?" she asked me.

I wanted to laugh out but the tears in my own eyes were forming. I smiled and nodded.

"You've grown into a fine young woman." she looked towards Caitlin and smiled. "and is that my granddaughter?" she asked. Caitlin looked at Abigail her cheeks tinting with pink in shyness.

Abigail looked at Caitlin pushing her hair back. "You're so pretty, just like your mommy," she said and Caitlin smiled at Abigail widely.

"Come, come, child, you must tell Me where you have been all this time. Did you tell Sin about what had happened? About the exact reason why you left?"

I let out a sigh. "Mom, you know how Ravecca has got him wrapped in both mind and heart, and if I were to say anything about that night, he would never believe me, never," I said honestly.
