Casey was going through his books. He looked so serious that he didn't notice her presence until she spoke.
"A bug's life. That's an interesting one"
He turned to look at her. "Hi mom. You're back."
She seated on the edge of the bed while he put the book aside.
"How are you feeling?" She asked touching his face.
"A lot better."
"That's good."
"Is something wrong?" He asked when he noticed how quiet she had become.
"Nothing is wrong."
"Something is wrong. I can tell." He pressed.
Mira looked calm on the outside but inside, she was fighting against different demons. She confused and doesn't know what to do.
"We um.." she began stuttering "What if I um.. what if I told you that you have a new father now?" She asked feeling scared.
His lips broke out in a smile "It's him right? The man at the hospital, that's my father right?"
"Yes" she replied with a lump in her throat "And he asked us to come and stay with him. Is that alright with you?"
