6 weeks until the baby
zelda: haze? are you going to come and eat your birthday breakfast? i even bought you a cupcake and put a little candle in it for you.. i know you like that
hazel: i’m not hungry
zelda: okay.. do you want to talk about it?
hazel: there’s nothing to talk about *shrugs* i’m not hungry, it’s pretty self explanatory
zelda: *sighs* okay, put the book down, hazel. what’s going on baby girl? it’s your birthday. you should be happy.. but instead you’ve been moping around all morning. talk to me, is it about the party? you don’t want one?
hazel: i do it’s just.. *groans* why does caleb have to be there?
zelda: ah, i see. he’s your dad, haze. he knows he messed up, and all he wants is to try and repair your relationship. he’s really trying..
hazel: he’s about 13 years too late, mom. where was he when i was 5? when i would cry and ask where my daddy was? and ask why he didn’t wanna see me?
zelda: haze.. please try to understand. your dad loves you very much. you and your siblings mean the absolute world to him. he was just.. heartbroken. he felt like he’d had his family torn away from him. caleb.. didn’t have the best upbringing. he grew up without his mom, and his dad was.. awful. he didn’t have a family until me, us. and i.. i j-just took that away from him. i threw him aside when things got rough instead of staying by his side *sniffles*
hazel: mom.. i’m sorry i didn’t mean to upset you. please don’t blame yourself. it’s not your fault..
zelda: not entirely, but i’m not innocent in all this.. not at all *sighs* listen, i know i can’t force you to give him a chance, and i wouldn’t ever try.. but i am asking you to, please?
hazel: ..alright, fine.. i will. for you, mom
zelda: i appreciate that, baby. but don’t do it for me. do it for yourself, hmm?
tyler: *yawns* morning! mom? are you okay?
zelda: morning sweetheart, i’m fine. just emotional that my baby girl is growing up *pinches his cheek* but at least i still have my baby boy
tyler: UGH, mom. i’m a man
zelda: *smiles* sorry, my baby man
