CHAPTER 2...GENESIS-||...

Sunlight streaked across the dark room, and warmed up the room. Robert turned and found a person lying beside him, he looked at the person next to him and vaguely remembered how he got there. He tried to untangle himself from the sheets only to wake up Bella. "good morning, are you feeling better now?" she asked him." I guess so." replied Robert, Bella took note of his tone and probed no further. They lay together in silence on the bed for half an hour before getting up. " I'm going to check up on Maddy, I'll be right back". Robert only nodded at her words and entered the bathroom. Bella trudged down the hallway towards her daughter's bedroom. Her hand hovered on the doorknob and noticed someone was humming a tuneful Lullaby on the other side, she peeked through the key hole and was awed by the sight she saw. Her daughter had her baby doll in her arms and was humming a familiar Lullaby to her, clearly trying to put it to sleep. she didn't know whether to cry or laugh at her daughter's motherly instincts. She schooled her expression, knocked on the door and entered. She turned after closing the door and was surprised to see her daughter staring at her like a predator eyeing her prey. "what?", Bella couldn't take the silence no more and broke it. "you know am supposed to say that right." her daughter stated in a matter of fact tone. "to say what??" Bella feigned confusion. "mom, come on, I may be little but that doesn't mean am dumb", Maddy retorted sassily to her mom. " look, one you never knock on my door, you practically barge in here, two, you are rather early and three, you are awfully the worst when spying on someone, you are just to loud and obvious." Bella didn't know whether to be proud at her daughter for her observations or irritated at her teasing, she was just shocked by the words coming out from a six year old's mouth. "aww, my baby is just like her father, so smart and so cute. come on, come give momma a morning hug." It was now Maddy's turn to be a little surprised, 'It's official, you are a weird person mom, even more weird than dad'. If only Bella knew about the thoughts of her In her babe's head, she'd die of a heart attack. "mommy, why were you peeping at me, don't you think that's to childish, I'd gladly switch roles if you want".
