Tracy

SIX YEARS LATER

"Would you stop stabbing those pancakes?" I asked my son who just looked at me then continued stabbing the pancakes, it was his own way of getting my attention when he wants something so I was not surprised.

"What do you want?" I asked sighing

"Cookies!" He said, I knew it!

"Just one, and on one condition, you are going to finish your pancake." I said and he made his thinking face.

"Extra syrup?" He asked

"Deal."

"yayyy cookies!" He yelled calling his sister's attention

"Cookies?" My daughter asked walking in.

"Did you wash your hands after using the restroom?" I asked and she nodded

"Yes mum, washed and dried, Micheal where are the cookies?." she asked settling down and he beamed at her

"Mum said we can have one each once we finish our pancakes, she said we could have extra syrup too!" He said

"We best eat fast so we can get that Cookie." She said grabbing her fork, I watched as my bundles of joy ate their food, and I couldn't help but wonder what my life would have been without them.

I remember six years ago when their Father left me and I found out I was with child, I was too shocked, then I found out I was carrying twin, I was broken at that point, I even contemplated suicide but then I decided against, deciding not to kill my two innocent children, they were not responsible for my mistake and I was not going to let them suffer for it.

When I was six months pregnant and the stress of being pregnant with no one to help was getting too much, I flew back home, with just my luggage leaving everything behind, I left the money and the card too, I left everything and went back home.

My parents and brothers were both happy and disappointed, tongues started wagging but that didn't matter because I made up my mind to keep my head up for my children, my parents convinced me to stay with them till I gave birth and I agreed, but then as soon as I gave birth and my children were old enough to stay with them for few hours, I got a job at the cafeteria where I used to work and I was able to rent a house for me and my children.

Whenever I was going to work I dropped them at my parent's, and I picked them when I'm done, that went on till they were old enough to go to school.

Now, looking at them, I'm happy about my decision, I'm happy I stayed strong for them.

"Mum can we have our cookies now?" Michelle asked and I smiled, no getting out of a deal with this two.

I handed them both a piece of extra large cookies
