REUNION

" you mean you're my mum" I wiped the tears rolling down my cheeks and she nodded

I hugged her and we both cried as if the world was coming to an end

I felt blessed to have two mothers

after our reunion, we went out of the room and worry was visible on everyone's faces I went straight to my dad and hugged him he didn't take long before he returned the hug

we broke the hug and I looked around to find both my mum in tears

" ahh you women love crying" uncle Lucian screamed and everyone laughed

dad pecked me on my head and left saying he had something important to attend to while mum asked me to go freshen up so I ran up to my room.

when I came out of the bathroom I found mum Alicia sitting on my bed

" mum " I called

" Lucy am sorry I came in without knocking it's just that I have something to say "

I was sincerely confused once again seeing her apologize and say she has something urgent to say

" mum what's wrong "

" I just want to apologize for keeping the truth... "

" shh it's okay and you did it for my safety and their no one as happy as I am having two mum's all to themselves "

" but "

" no ifs nor buts you're still my mum," I said and hugged her

" you're just like a daughter to me "

" no she isn't like a daughter to you " I heard mum say and walked in " mum "

she raised her hand stopping me

" I expected better from you Alicia although were no longer in the palace I expected you to follow my orders "

" what have I done wrong your Highness "

" what have you done wrong a lot " mum scolded

" First I asked you never to address me as your highness but you still do and secondly I told you to take Lucy as your daughter, not like your daughter, Lucy isn't just my daughter she's also your daughter "

I felt relieved after hearing what mum said as I felt at first that he'll be about to be let loose

" am sorry your... "

" hmm "

" I mean hazel," she said and both hugged

" Hazel is that your name, " I asked

" yes "

" wow I have a question if you don't mind," I said and pulled her towards my bed

" what is it "

" Who was I named after you or dad? "

" well I named you after your dad cause I know you just like him," she said with a smile

" that's true but she's as stubborn as you are "

both my mum kept telling me about their childhood and how my mum normally sneak out of the palace the way I sneak out of the house.

mum Alicia left to get some rest and mum followed but stop midway

" he's such a nice boy," mum said referring to Zack who has been asleep

" you both make such a couple and I can see you love him so much as he does"

" MUM " I screamed

" Okay have a good night's rest " she winked and left laughing

thinking about what mum said about me loving Zack I burst out laughing

I don't even know what love is talk more of loving someone.

I lay next to Zack and shut my eyes close leaving all my questions hanging in the air as I needed a good night's rest.

I opened my eyes and felt someone's hand around me, I turned to find Lucy lying beside me she looked adorable.

her eyes were slightly opened and her brown eyes were visible I pulled her close and she smiled

" good morning grumpy"

" grumpy? "

" yes you're grumpy because you didn't let me sleep all night," she said and pulled the duvet over her head.

I noticed my clothes were changed

" Mrs grumpy who changed my clothes" I pulled the duvet covering her

" I did or were you expecting someone else"

she turned to face me

" my decency you.... "

" don't scream I did close my eyes or maybe I left one open," she said and removed her hand from my mouth

I stood up and carried her up from the bed

" where are you taking me drop me now " she hit me on the chest but it felt as if I was hit by a pillow

" am just trying to return the favor"

" Zack you ... "

" am the best I know it, " I said and smirked

I filled the bathtub and helped her in

I could see her smile from the Corner of my eyes but when I turned to face her she was no longer smiling

" look at your face "

" what's wrong with my face " she held her face

" you have a drool line "

" geez you caused it "

" me "

" yes you, you stressed me a lot and whenever am stressed out I usually drool at night, and when mum finds out she makes me bed rest all day " she ranted

" Okay okay am sorry "

" oh no I almost forgot; guess what," she said with a smile

" what"

" I have two mums"

" oh really" I tried acting surprised

" you already knew about it right, and don't tell me to know cause you're bad at acting"

" am sorry, I knew about everything a month ago but I couldn't tell you cause ... "

" Naa no problem am fine "

" but I haven't had a proper Chance to speak to your second mum "

" well you're in luck she's downstairs and she's very beautiful"

she kept telling me about her mum and the time she spent with both of them

I would sometimes laugh when she said some words as she sounded childish

After bathing her I freshened up and we both went downstairs for breakfast

" Good morning" a lady with silver hair greeted, she was the same lady who came to the island

" good morning mum " Lucy greeted and gave her a peck

" good morning ma " I greeted

" ma, did you just call me ma " she questioned and I nodded

" do I look like your grandma," she said and everyone laughed

" you can call me mum or aunt " she replied with a smile

" mum you're such a drama queen "

" she's just like you " Mrs. Alicia came out of the kitchen with a tray in her hand

" me what did I do " Lucy questioned

everyone kept chatting and laughing at the dining table and I couldn't stop laughing when I heard stories from Lucy's childhood

" mum stop it's embarrassing "

" what's embarrassing me catching you sneaking out of the house through the balcony or everyone laughing "

" MUM !!! "

"your mum is just like you, she normally sneaks out of the palace all night and I always have to bear the consequences

" Alicia"

" what; both of you keep calling me as if I said something wrong"

I just kept laughing at the dining table truth be said from all have heard both Lucy and her mum have much in common

" and why are you laughing" Lucy faced me

" me nothing "

" you better eat your food quietly unless you'll choke " she refilled my plate

" come on Lucy leave Zack alone and don't vent your anger on him "

Lucy mum said

" whatever " she stood up from the dining table and made her way for the stairs

" don't mind her," Mrs. Alicia said

" am sure she loves you a lot, " Lucy's mum said with a smile and winked

" MUM " Lucy screamed

" what "

" you're impossible "

I couldn't help but adore the relationship between both mum and daughter.
