79: Family time
"Some old wounds never truly heal, and bleed again at the slightest word."
~George R.R. Martin"Mama!" Rayge calls out excitedly as he sees me enters his room and he claps his hands cheerfully. His mouth is covered up with cereals and I can see that he's done with his morning food. Luckily for me, Rayge isn't a troublesome baby and his bath, feeding and sleeping times are some of the best times and while I had read articles of first babies being a handful, Rayge is the exact opposite of that. He's calm and quiet and peaceful and I feel blessed.
I beam at him and reach into his cradle to take him out into my arms. "I just gave him his breakfast!" Announces Gloria, Rayge nanny as she steps out of the bathroom confirming my earlier suspicion.
"It's your bathing time!" I squeal with wide eyes at Rayge and he smiles into a loud giggle.

My reason for life."~Ian McEwan, AtonementThe next week followed with Rogue not going back to the subject of Lorenzo and I hate that my mind kept taking me back there, but I couldn't help it.

I glance down at my wristwatch which reads 5:30 p.m. and I know he's already home maybe even earlier than he normally used to, but that is a good thing.Things have been very awkward between us and I believe I played an equal part in it.I did take Kemi's advise and be a lover and a wife and a fighter beside Rogue, but it been two weeks and I don't know how effective that has been.I make my way into the house which is awfully quiet and that is unusual because there is always something going on and I decided to ignore that and make my way upstairs. As I get up the stairs, I head straight for Rayge's room to check up on him, but when I get there, I don't find him in his cradle. I panic the first few seconds that pass then I come to the awareness that Rogue is home and probably with him and I waste no

As my body dries up, I change into my nightgown after applying my body lotion on my skin. I am almost done with that when Rogue begins to speak."I always hated him," he says and I feel a little lost and needing him to explain but in no way trying to speak for him or jump to conclusion in my mind I remain quiet. "I hated him as much as I hated every wicked thing he did to me while I was still with him, I hated him more than anything in life. I did wish I could kill him, but I knew I didn't possess such power or strength in myself and I hated

The sleepy voice of Alex calls out from across the room and I turn away from looking at the stars to see her scrunched up but beautiful face. "Come back to bed!" She calls out to me, raising her hand but it drops immediately from weakness and she lay back down in bed.I find myself smiling and I make my way over to the bed and I sit down beside her. "Why are you still up?" She asks with her level of concern high. "You can't sleep?"

I was numb and aching and I could only speak and that was what I did. Tears rolled down my face and go into my ears."I told you before, your mommy left you and she's not coming back because she doesn't want you, no one wants you. Are you happy hearing that?"
