(Esmee) a gift (Mi's side)

A gift 　
 “Mummy I’m sorry.” I shouted scrambling off of the bed and to my feet so I could pursue her if she walked away from me. It had been two long to lose my mum to a stranger I didn’t know and I would run to the ends of the earth after her.

“Hush my baby, hush.” My mum said gently catching me by the arm and leading me back to the bed before laying me down on top of the covers and sitting her self delicately on the side gently holding my hand in hers.
My mother was a plump little lady with lightly tanned skin and short straight ash blond hair that that sat unruly on her head doing exactly what it wanted when it felt like doing it. She had small kind light blue eyes and wore rimless spectacles half way down her nose so she still landed up squinting at everything she did because she was forever looking over them.

“I’m sorry mum, you where never… I mean I didn’t… I mean it …” I babbled trying to find the right words to say but came up short. I mean what could I say? I had lied to her about not wanting to see the file since I was a child and she had found out about it when I was talking behind her back.

“Hush Kitten, let me talk.” My mum soothed lightly pressing her finger tip to my lips which caused me to smile, we had so much connection with each other that the whole idea of a file telling me someone else was my mother seemed ludicrous.
“When you where little I went through hell and high water to get your adoption file because I always wanted you to know the truth. I unfortunately could not take you as one of my creations. you where a gift; a beautiful, amazing, once in a life time gift but I new there was someone else out there that carried you for nine months so you where there gift too and I should not take that away from them, or you. The file is in my bedroom Esmee, it has been there for years waiting for you, I think it’s time that you see it.”
