All I See Is Black And White, When You Appear The Colors Come To Sight.

Auburn continued to cry in my arms over the nightmare he just had. No mattter how hard I tried to calm him down he just kept wailing and screaming with his tiny little fists clenched and his head tipped back. He looked so sad I felt like I wanted to start crying.

I moaned and shouted, " Justice! " over my shoulder. No response. I sighed in distress. " JUSTICE!! " I screamed loudly. Bad move. Only made Auburn scream louder. This time she heard me.

Justice came running into the room with a scrunched up face and a bed head. Her clothes were all twisted around from tossing and turning in bed. I knew she liked her sleep and always had a hard time getting comfortable. But this was worth waking up for.

" What? " Justice grumbled stomping over to me with a frown on her face and rubbing her eyes.

I looked at her like she was crazy, " Baby!? " I said in a strained voice referring to Auburn who was still crying.

Justice dropped her hands to her side and opened her eyes half way to stare at Auburn. She sighed and sat on the other side of me while grabbing the baby from me and cradling him in her arms.

The screaming died down, and only fresh streaks of tears left his eyes till he was asleep with his thumb in his mouth.

I stared at Auburn and mumbled quietly, " All children hate me. ". Justice smiled and chuckled while holding the baby close to her. Auburn's soft snoring filled the room. Justice quietly tucked him back to bed.

I stared at Justice as she walked towards the door way. Before she walked out, she turned to me and said, " I'm going back to sleep. You should too. ". She left the room.

I sighed and quietly lifted myself from the bed and over to the flickering candle on a small desk top. I blew the light out and went back to my own room to sleep for myself.


The next day me and Justice laid on the couch with me sitting up right and Justice sitting upside down(Her feet are hanging over the edge of the couch). We were playing Super Mario Bros.

Auburn waddled in the room in his footie PJs and his blanket clutched to his side. He was sucking on his thumb and his eyes were puffy from crying last night. He waddled over to me and Justice and sat in between us. " Sup, shortie? " Justice asked slinging an arm around his shoulder.

Auburn stared at the screen. " Pway(Play)? " He asked in his toddler voice.

I handed him my control and he gratefully took it with his soft hands.

Auburn and Justice played for about an half an hour. Then, Auburn spoke up, " I had bad dream. ".

Justice paused the game and looked over at him, " About what, kiddo? " she asked concerned and confused.

Auburn frowned. He looked at his feet, then at the T.V screen, then back at Justice. " Mommy was gone. " he mumbled sadly.

Me and Justice sat up straight with our eyes wide. " Really? " I asked Auburn. Auburn nodded his head, " Uh huh. Foreva.(Forever). ". Auburn looked up to me with sad eyes, " I ever see again? Is she weally(Really) gone? " he asked me.

I put on a sad face. This kid really does the trick. " Of course you'll see her again, sweetie. " I lied hugging him while he hugged me back. I glanced up at Justice, we exchanged worried looks.

Truth is, we don't know if Lacey's coming back.

She hasn't came back here for a long time...


What if she doesn't want Auburn anymore?
