Calling Mom Novels & Stories

Mom answered before the first ring even finished. “Roman?” “Hey, Mom.” Her voice was full of worry immediately. “Is everything okay? Is Serena alright? Is the baby alright?” I smiled softly, leaning against the wall. “Everyone’s fine, Mom. I just wanted to call and thank you.” “For what?” “For today. For being there. For being so excited about our baby.” I paused, emotion tightening my throat. “And for being the best mom I could ever ask for. Thank you for already loving our daughter so much.” I heard her break down crying again on the other end of the phone.

My mom's voice rants through the phone speaker. “I never did, Mom,” I replied coldly. You need to be at the house later today, unfailing,” my mom ordered . “What for?” I was irritated. “Your Dad and I want to see you, and it's urgent,” Mom said, and never gave me the chance to speak further before she ended the call.

I just didn’t think Amber would turn out to be like every other one. “I’m not interested.” “Oh, come on,” she said, her tongue rolling off her thumb as she licked some ketchup off. “You’ve thought about it.” “Don’t be disgusting. I am here for Dala. If you hear anything, let me—” My phone vibrated, cutting me short. Kael’s name popped and I picked up. I picked up. “What?” “Mom’s at the hospital,” He blurted, curtly. Too fast to process. “We need you here.”

"Let's…call it a night." Mom's voice shook. "I'm so sorry. H-He's not feeling well."

She told him everything now. I should have deleted it immediately. Blocked the number. Turned my phone off and thrown it across the room. Anything to shut him out. But my thumb hovered over the screen, frozen, my breath coming faster. Another message popped up. Unknown: I know things are tense right now. Just wanted you to know I’m not the enemy here. I’m trying to help. Your mom loves you. She’s just stressed about money and wants what’s best for you.

he muttered as he bounced his head, a frown playing between his eyebrows. He looked visibly angry, but as I was about to sidestep him, my aunt appeared. She was the reason I rushed back home. She must have been worried since I hadn't shown up for almost three days. I tried to look composed as she walked into the living room. Aunt Hannah had been my only family member since the death of my parents. Being my mom's older sister, I saw my mother in her sometimes, and it was all the comfort I needed. "Welcome. Where have you been?" she asked, her gaze watching me from top to bottom and back up again.

Yayyyyyy, I love you mommy". She yelled running off to watch TV. "My babies, I said going over to hug Damien and Lisa kissing Dame on the cheeks and Lisa on her forehead". "Hey mom, how was work today? Dame asked taking my handbag and dropping it on the couch. "Oh boy, it was good it wasn't really hectic today. How was school today? I asked them. "awesome". "Great". "Nothing happened?". "Nope" They replied. Damien rolled his eyes taking Luca from my arms. " You just got home Mom, shower and we can start dinner. I'll help. I tried to protest but he shut me up

Three days after my mom died, the hospital called. "Mr. Carter, your mother has an outstanding balance of $1,873.60. Please come in and pay it as soon as possible." What? I stared at my mom's body. They had to have the wrong person. I'd paid every bill before she was discharged. She was supposed to be cremated and buried today. How could she still owe money? The person on the phone clicked their tongue. "Her family is responsible for the bill! She received treatment, so someone has to pay for it. It's $1,873.60." "Are you sure that's for Winona Carter?" "Yes. Come quickly."

Marianne. Jace's mother. What?! I turned and saw Marianne standing by the staircase, smiling like the proudest shipper alive. ...Wow. Now my ears were burning too. We weren't even married yet, and his mom was already our number one fan. Jace leaned over to look, brows knitting together. "What kind of nonsense is this..." Watching him look both offended and curious at the same time, I suddenly got an idea. I opened a livestream and pointed the camera right at him.

Aurelia Nightbane gripped her phone tighter, staring at the screen as her mother's voice echoed in her ear. 'Mom, what do you mean your boyfriend will pick me up?' she asked, her voice laced with disbelief. The line crackled slightly, but Selene's tone was firm, unyielding as always.
