Nathan's Mom Stands Beside Him Novels & Stories

She said. Both Arlene and Cody went red at the moment. Arlene tried so much to stop her cheek from flushing, because hers was more obvious due to her skin colour. "This is Arlene" he said to his mum. "Arlene, meet my mum" he said to Arlene. Arlene who had been standing few inches apart, drew closer and extended an arm to his mum. "Nice to meet you Mrs. Yan" Arlene Said as they exchanged pleasantries of handshake.

The second Mom walked in, her eyes started darting around the suite. She looked from my face to Bruce's, trying to figure out if we'd fought. "Kyla... did you two argue?" I dropped my gaze and stayed quiet. Bruce kept his face cold, stood, and walked into the study. The door slammed shut behind him. Mom's lips twitched. Satisfaction flashed in her eyes. At dinner, Bruce and I sat at opposite ends of the table. Mom stayed between us, glancing back and forth. Then she suddenly said, "Zoey, serve Bruce some cream soup."

I mumbled. My mother’s smile turned suspiciously bright. “Go downstairs and find out.” That alone was enough to make me sit up. My mother was many things but subtle was not one of them. I threw on a robe, ran a hand through my hair and trudged downstairs still half asleep. Then I reached the living room and stopped dead in my tracks. Nathan stood in the center of the room holding a large bouquet of flowers. He looked unfairly handsome in dark jeans and a crisp white shirt, his hair slightly tousled as if he had been running his hands through it which, judging by the nervous expression on his face, he probably had.

He thought he had Nate where he wanted him. “I have no idea what you said, but I promise you that my mother is the prettiest woman in the world. You’ll like her,” he stated and Aiden couldn’t help but smile at how highly this boy spoke of his mother. She must be a lovely woman, he thought. Nathan then took something out of his backpack and stepped closer to Aiden. “Here, see for yourself,” he said with the photo of his mom outstretched towards Aiden.

I was pleased to see them like this but then a scenario played in my mind of my son hugging me that way, there I blasted a TNT bomb on my rapture. Before I again had a fit, I blurred that thought and concentrated more on them. His mother was whispering something to him which was not audible to me but my curious cat wanted to listen, “Yeah, she’s mum, careful she’s behind me,” I heard Nathan saying this to his mother in that same British accent. His comment gave me a clue that they were talking about me, my curious cat got more fuel, So, I stepped ahead. “Hello,” I politely mumbled.

He kissed my head and patted the place he had kissed, as he said to me. “That's right. What about your mom, Natty? Is she alright? And, she returned with you, right?”. I asked him, all because I wanted to look reasonable and caring. “She's alright”. He replied to me, but that was all. He didn't mention anything else concerning his mother to me. And I was smart enough not to mention anything again concerning his mother. I didn't want to ruin his moments with me. Suddenly, Nathan made me let go of his waist and held my hands while staring into my eyes.

The trance broke when the voice of his mother fell upon his ears. Ami Jones, his loving eomma, rubbed both of his arms with a smile that never lost its warmth. "You don't need to do this if you feel afraid or burdened. Wanna go home, sweetie?", she asked gently. Nathan shook his head as he held his mother's hand, bringing them up to kiss her palms.

I stood up carefully, my hand holding my side. “Try not to bleed on the seats,” Nathan muttered as we walked to the car, I elbowed him lightly. “Drive.” I told him as we settled in the car, he frowned but didn't say anything. Back home, the house was quiet. It seems alpha Matthews had convinced my mum not to worry so much, so she went to bed. Nathan walked beside me up the stairs, halfway down the hallway, my vision blurred slightly, he noticed quickly. He stretches his hand and grips my arm firmly and steadies me. “Don’t collapse now,” he says.

She carried him in her arms and walked to the Poolside. Stephen knew everything was alright at the moment. His mate was back and no one but her had the power to get Nathan back to normal. He sat on the Recliner looking at the ways his mate was trying to get Nathan to smile and that really happened in minutes. Nathan was hugging his Mother and smiling. He didn't need anything else but his mothers presence beside her. No matter who all from this family had tried to help him, he always wanted his Mumma to take him.

One wall was covered in photographs and I moved closer. Children, families, medical staff and Sera. My chest tightened. She was in a photograph beside Helena, both wearing pale lab coats and neither smiling. Behind them was a circular machine surrounded by runes. Nathan moved closer. "My mother." "And mine." There was another photograph. Nathan as a child sitting in a chair, I was in the background. Five years old. My hair tied in two braids and a woman was holding me, my mother. I felt the floor disappear.
