Provocation

"Mama?" Faye said as she opened her eyes. She had tears in her eyes when she looked at her mom. It could be a dream-like every other and her mom wasn't back yet. 

"Yes baby, mama is back," Alcina said in a won't voice and kissed her temple. Her daughter sat on the bed to hug her mother. Her arms were wrapped around Alcina's neck and she cried against her mom's shoulder. Her cries were heart-wrenching. 

"Mama, don't leave Faye," Faye softly said while crying. "I missed you."

"I missed my baby a lot," Alcina whispered, kissing her cheek. "I will never leave you."

"Promises?" Faye raised her hand to take the promise. 

Alcina nodded, joining her finger with her daughters. "Pinky promise." 

Faye smiled but didn't leave her immediately. She didn't want her mom to be out of her sight even for a single moment. 

"How about we go down to see your baby brother?" Alcina asked after a while.
