(Esmee) my kitten too (Mi's side)

My kitten too.

A few minutes later my mum came back into my room with an old looking brown file across her chest. It surprised me slightly at the size of the file. I was used to big files but it seemed the whole thing could have done with being a lot smaller. After all what could have been in there? It also seemed surreal seeing a file on my self. I new there must have been hundreds of them littered all over the place with my history of hospitalization but here was one that was written about me before I could even support my own body weight.

“I know this will be heard my love.” My mum said softly handing me the file and handing Emmet two crisp white bandages and different dressings. It seemed strange that even though I hadn’t lived at home with her for over five years she still new and kept all the things that where needed to dress the wounds I had caused.
“Why dose the file say Esmeralda May Monster on the front?” I asked gently stroking my hand over the ink on the front cover.

“That’s what your birth mother called you but as you where only days old when we got you we where aloud to change it. We thought it was a bit wordy so we took the two names and squished them together somewhat, hence Esmee.” My mum said softly stroking her fingers over the raised scars on my arms. Which made me shiver slightly, I new every one hurt her as much as they hurt Emmet but she never shyed away from them in fact she liked to stroke them, it was like she was constantly trying to rub tem better but she new she never could.

“Thanks.”

“What for kitten?”

“School was hard enough with out being associated with the hunchback of Notre Dame.” I laughed.
“trust you to think of that.” Mum said laughing too before rising from the edge of me bed again and stretching. “Look I think you need to read this on your own so you don’t feel pressured by me. Emmet is here for you and I’m not far away.” My mum said smiling at me before turning to Emmet, “ Look after my Kitten young man.”

“Try and stop me,” Emmet said smiling “She’s my kitten too.”
