POV EmmaThings finally seemed to be falling into place, despite all the turmoil and confusion that had plagued my life recently. So I hoped. We organized a quick dinner for everyone. Sitting at the table, a special wine that I was waiting to open on the counter, the food served was pasta.The waitress served us and left.“Thank you, Clara,” I said.Still, there was a strange atmosphere. I knew that my mother could have chosen another way and not left us. Her three biological children, and one adopted, me. But sometimes not every mistake can have a consequence, and I know that she made a mistake trying to get it right. I believe that her mistake only deserves forgiveness. I think we all make mistakes and failures, especially me.“This food is wonderful,” said my mother, taking a bite. Emma, you mean you and Andrew are going to be parents.“Yes, you're going to be a grandfather,” Emma said.“It's all so confusing, we're all your children,” Ize smiled.“I'm adopted, Ize,” I say wryly

101. "Announcement"

POV EmmaI could honestly say that I never imagined so many twists and turns in my life. My mother's arrival was one of them. I don't know if my father knew the truth, but this was something they had to sort out between themselves.After dinner, I lay back in bed, the pregnancy was beginning to weigh on me, and I was feeling a little hard. But I knew that this child was a warrior from the womb. Just by going through so much and staying well.I heard footsteps, and the door slowly opened, piercing blue eyes staring at me in silence.“Did you talk to her?” I said to my mother.“Yes.” That's all she said.“You annoy me with your monosyllabic answers.” I rolled my eyes.“There were so many topics in this conversation.

POV Emma Today we had another appointment to check that everything was in order with the baby. We chose not to find out the sex, it made me feel anxious, but it was more exciting.The appointment was very early, and this time Andrew was going with me.I was taking all the vitamins and following the right rules. Knowing that I would have his hand to hold and that people wouldn't judge me at reception for being alone, was relieving. People were so prejudiced, couldn't there be a solo mother at the reception? What we saw most of the time were women struggling to look after their children on their own.My mother and Ize stayed here to sort out the party. She even asked me to call my father, there was a lot to clear up between the two of them.

Emma's POV I'd always wanted to know more about my childhood with my mother, and having her here to tell me about it was wonderful. My mother sat down next to me while she braided my hair - for some it was a simple thing, for me it was something important. "Your father and I talked," she said. “And what did you talk about?” I asked curiously. “We talked about everything, I told him the whole truth. And he didn't understand at first, you know how your father is, daughter.” “You'll get along, my father is trying to be a better person,” I smiled. “I'm so happy to have you, daughter.” He hugged me. “Me too,” I smiled. “This amulet, it was yours, do you remember?” I showed her the necklace around my neck. “Of course I remember, dear. I left it with you when you were still a little girl. I love you, Emma. “Mum too. She finished braiding my hair and I decided to talk more.
