“ Love did something happened, are you pain? Is your chest bothering you again?”Aminata asked tenderly, seating herself on the bed next to Cerri and slowly wiping away her tears.
“No, I’m fine mom I just had a weird dream.”
“What did you dream about?
Thinking for a moment, her expression went from blank to utter confusion. Looking at her mom’s concerned face, Cerridwen opened her mouth as if to say something, to only then close it and turn towards the window. Watching the first few drops of rain hit the glass.
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
After a pregnant pause Aminata knew that Cerridwen was in her own little world. Clearing her throat, she began to rise from the bed and head towards the door. She had only taken a few steps before her motherly instincts kicked in and made her return to her daughter’s side. Wrapping her arms around her and bring her into a comforting embrace. She pressed a kiss to her Cerri’s forehead before tucking the child’s head under her chin.
They stayed like this, quietly listening to the rain hitting the window pane. After a few minutes Aminata pulled back just enough to clearly look her daughter in the face. Studying her features for a few seconds, she then proceeded to bring Cerri into what seem to be another innocent kiss on her head, only for it to be a very loud and wet raspberry.
“Ugh oh my god mom!! Why’d you do that to me!” Cerri cried trying to hold back on the laughter that wanted to creep into her voice.
“I had to, you looked like some kid who lost their puppy. Now come on, today’s your first day, I’ll make some grits and eggs for us.“Aminata finally released her daughter from the embrace, allowing Cerri the chance to wipe the slobber from her forehead.
"You know there’s other ways of comforting someone besides blowing raspberries on their head. And as hard as it is to believe, I’m actually an adult not a baby; MOM!! While also trying her best to look irritated.
“But you’ll always be my baby little moon.” teased Aminata as she made her way through the bedroom door.
