Paula looked at herself in the mirror, she put her hands on her swollen abdomen. Her twin’s were getting big. She smiled at thought of twins. Paula was already a mother of two handsome boy’s, by the names of Eric, and Mitchell. Eric was the oldest and he was four, and Mitchell was three.
“Mommy, when’s daddy coming home?” Eric ask, breaking the silence that was around Paula. She looked down into her son’s chocolate brown eyes, Simon’s eyes.
“I don’t know sweetie, but he will be home soon. Now go run off and play with Mitch” Paula smiled looking down at her son. Her son looked up at her, and she could automatically tell something was wrong. “Mum, daddy hasn’t been home in almost two days!” He said. Paula could see the tears coming in his eyes, as she held her arms out for him to climb into. “Daddy’s, just busy with work. He will come home. I promise, your daddy loves you. He would do anything to be home with us.” I said smiling. I saw Eric smile, as he looked up at me. “I know, mum.” Eric smiled. He wrapped his tiny arm’s around Paula’s neck before running out of the room.
It didn’t really hit her hard into now, what her son said. Simon, had been gone for a while now.. She was begging to worry about him, but for the sake of her unborn children, she decided, that worrying wasn’t the best bet..
“Mum, Eric stole my Leggo’s” Mitchell said running into the room. I shook my head as I walked over to my son.
“Tell him, I said to give them back” I said.
Mitchell ran back downstairs as I walked downstairs with him, watching my boy’s play. Wishing their father would hurry home…
Four hours later.
It was now time to tuck the boy’s in, I couldn’t explain how worried I was about Simon at that moment.. He has been officially gone for two day’s now. I couldn’t help but feel like something was wrong. ”Mum, is daddy gonna be home to tuck us in?” Eric said. I shrugged my shoulders as I followed my son into his room. I kissed his forehead before ruffling his raven black hair. “I love you Eric, and so does your dad. Goodnight” I said before slowly walking out of the room. I walked into the room next door to see Mitchell already asleep. I gently kissed the top of his head. As I walked into my bedroom. I gently feel on the bed, as I picked up my blackberry to call Simon’s phone. It automatically went to voice mail.. I tried not to panic.. “Simon, wouldn’t leave us.. I told myself, I beleived that, but that’s not what I was fearing..
I rubbed my swollen abdomen as I felt the twins kick, I couldn’t fight the tears coming in my eyes now. I grabbed Simon’s t-shirt that laid on the bed as I held onto it, as I cried myself to sleep….
It was 1:00Am and I heard a crash from downstairs. My motherly instincts kick in, as I thought one of my boy’s could be hurt. I automatically went into both of their rooms, to find them sound asleep. At that moment, I thought of Simon. I ran downstairs as I turned on the light. Our huge walk in area. “Simon” I said in a low whisper. I looked into the living room to find a huge dog sitting on my sofa. I automatically panicked when he looked up at me. ”how did you get in?” I asked looking at the dog. The dog walked closer towards me as I backed up. I had three dogs of my own, but this didn’t even look like a dog, he was very large and his fur was Raven black. I didn’t know at that moment if I should run or take the dog outside, But I ran, I ran into our spare bedroom down stairs, as fast as I could. I didn’t want to lead that animal to my children.. I heard the steps come closer as the dog once again found me..
“Please, don’t hurt me. I have a family” I said clutching my abdomen and wishing automatically it was Simon instead of that dog who was starring at me right now. “Your not gonna hurt me are you?” I asked looking in the dog’s eyes, those eyes were familiar, I saw them everyday. Those eyes were the eyes of Eric, and Simon. “This can’t be happening” I sad as I sat on the guest bed. The dog just looked up at me, like he understood. I wasn't a little girl anymore I didn't believe in fantasy stories. This was just a horrible weird dream, and I would wake up and Simon would be home. I closed my eyes and open them again, to see the dog still staring at me.. How was this even possible? How could this dog be…I automatically disliked that dog their. He reminded me constaly that Simon, was gone, and that dog’s eyes didn’t help. “Look, I don’t know what you are, but you got to go.. I don’t want you to be a risk to my family” I said. The dog rubbed its head against my leg affectionately. I guess it was then i realized, fantasy could be real. I bend down as best as I could as I wrapped my arms around that dog. As weird as it sounded hugging that dog, made me feel whole again, something only Simon could do..
“Why didn't you call me?” I asked looking down into the dog’s eyes. The dog’s eyes looked down away from me.. I knew he couldn't talk, but still. I wanted to know. I pushed myself up, as I walked upstairs into my bedroom, the dog following not to far behind me. “Si, I don’t want you going near the kid’s until everything is normal” I said in a low voice. I hated keeping him away from them, but for right now it was best..
For right now I seemed beyond mad, because my life was a fantasy tale? I was one of those strange girls, who know was married to a wolf? What was this coming too..
I climbed into bed as I felt Simon climbing in beside me. He rested his head on his pillow. I wrapped my arms his furry animal form. It made me feel better knowing he was here. I closed my eyes and sleep over came me. Hopefully waking up to a normal life, and some well needed answers.
