Sherry Big Momma's House Novels & Stories

A tiny voice spoke near me. “It’s so loud!” Another tiny voice sounding similar to the first said. “Yeah, it’s a big flashy. Isn’t it, girls?” Their mom replied. The girls giggled. “So, ice cream?” the mom said, which earned her squeals from her girls. I looked over to see two girls with big heads of curls jumping for joy. I couldn’t make out the mom, but I didn’t have time to watch the happy family anyway. I needed to go back to work.

"If you don't want things to turn too ugly, then just quickly sign the papers. That would be the best outcome for me, you, and Phillip." The crash of shattering glass rang in my ear as she threw something to the floor. I understood her too well, so I knew that after she realized she wouldn't be able to change what was inevitable, her shame and frustration would turn into anger. Her next step would be to threaten me, but my heart had died along with Melinda. There was nothing she could hold over my head.

Every pair of eyes in the room turned on the Sutherlands like blades. Grandpa clutched his chest, gasping for air, and pointed a shaking finger at Mom. His lips trembled but nothing came out. Mom stared at the screen, frozen, then whipped her head around and locked eyes with me. Meanwhile, Dad stood on the stage, looking down at the whole family from above, and tapped the microphone lightly. "I hope everyone's enjoying the gift. Now then, shall we talk about that additional investment?" Mom lunged at the screen like she'd lost her mind. "Turn it off! Turn it off!"

" I asked, a mere split second before I saw her walking towards us. "Now that's a real woman," Mom decided, smiling as she took in Shelly's long, pale legs, her deftly rounded hips and narrow waist, and exceptionally pleasant breasts. It didn't hurt that she had those amazing gray eyes and thick black hair; Marilee had been a brunette, too.

"I'm sorry, Mom. I'll make sure to tidy my things up in the future. Please just let Sherry go to the hospital!" However, Sharon was too nervous, and she knocked over a bottle of moisturizer, spilling the contents everywhere. She looked up at my mother in fear. My mother's face fell as she turned on the AI once more. "The paramedics are about to arrive, but Sharon created a mess in the house. How should I punish her?"

says mom looking out the window, I’m about to take a seat when I hear it. “you did something, didn’t you?” “I know you know what I did, no need to rub it in” even her voice sounds raspy. “I know it would work to your advantage, its your first time signing a black, so.” My mom looks at me, and releases a sound, that sounded so weird, but I choose not to ponder on that, I stretch my bones, and smile, thinking of the comfort that awaits me at home. “I really need something to drink” I comment, we wait for another two minutes before Shirley comes, with four bottles of water. Oh God bless her soul; she always loves being prepared.

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."

She shook her head violently, slapping her hand across her face, trying to stay awake. “Kent?” Her voice trembled. “Yeah, it’s me. You called, remember?” I crouched next to her, noticing the blood matted in her hair. "Were you drugged?" “I think so,” she whispered, her voice barely audible over her own erratic breathing. Her hands shook as the mopstick slipped from her grasp, clattering to the floor. When she slumped into the bathtub, I noticed the deep gash on her scalp, blood trickling into the water. Her eyes darted around the room, still searching for a threat, as if she couldn’t believe it was over.

Madre says stepping closer to me with the outstretched bowl. "Nothing.... would make me drink that"I reply with my hands dancing above the bowl. "I've watched too many kids put up this show. So let's just skip to the part where you give up and drink!" Madre replies annoyance and impatience heavily laced in her voice. "in case you haven't noticed; I'm Sonia Smith, not 'too many kids'! " I reply trying to display bravery but I know deep down I'm trembling. "Drink, Sonia! " Madre screams so loud, it feels the whole female hall shook. Her reaction enhances my fear but I gulp and maintain my posture.

If his aunt found out he was lying, would she stop liking him? At that moment, Avery began to hum a song softly. "Step into the shadows, fade into the dark..." It was a minor tune composed by her third brother, Keith. Unlike the typical "Good baby, quickly fall asleep in your mother's arms," this warm and loving motherly image, this song was different. It depicted a mother's longing, pain, and struggle to reunite with her child.
