Chapter 1

Summer 2021. Rachel Barbra Corcoran, Broadway Star, was sitting backstage at the Theatre removing her Make-Up. She had just finished another show starring as Elphaba in the hit show Wicked. She had been playing this role for about 4 Months now. She had her Broadway Debut in her second year of College starring as Fanny Brice in the revival of Funny Girl, which she also got her very first Tony award for. Ever since she was Broadways golden girl. But that wasn't always the case. Most of her life she was pushed around and made fun of. She grew up in a very small town in Ohio called Lima. She lived there with her gay Fathers. That alone made her a big target already but Rachel was also very vocal about her believes and her dreams. Also her sense of Style wasn't the best one. She wore knee socks, mini skirts and argyle sweaters or sweaters with animals on them. She only ever had one Boyfriend and that didn't end well. She moved to New York during her Sophomore Year in High School together with her mother Shelby, who she had meet a few month before. Her fathers were workaholics and hardly around.

She was just getting dressed in her own clothes when there was a knock on the Door. "Miss. Corcoran...your Taxi is here" a deep male voice said.

"I'll be out in a minute" Rachel replied. She grabbed her purse and went out. As expected there were still quite a few fans waiting outside the Stage Door. She quickly took some pictures, wrote some autographs and stepped into the cab. She didn't live far from the Theatre only a couple of blocks. She lived in a Penthouse Apartment near Central Park. She greeted her Door Man Joey and stepped into the elevator. She had the whole top floor to herself. She opened the Door and stepped inside. She stood in a small open Hallway. There were only a small table, a coat and shoe rack. She could see the light from the Living room. The Living room was huge and had high walls. Some walls were white and some red. In the middle of the room stood a black grand piano. Further into the room was a big old Fireplace with dark letter sofas and armchairs in front of it. Next to the Fireplace were Wall high windows and a French Door to the roof terrace. From there you had a great view of Central Park. To the right side was a big double door leading to the Kitchen and Dining Room. In one corner of the Room was a spiral staircase leading up to a Gallery. On one of the Sofas sat a brown haired woman reading a book.

"Hey Mom" Rachel said. Shelby looked up as Rachel sat down next to her.

"Hey Sweetie. How was your show?" Shelby asked as she placed her book on the coffee table.

"The same. How were things here?" Rachel said.

"Good. We played some games, ate Chinese, watched a Movie and then she went to bed" Shelby said. Rachel nodded with a smile. "She asked if she could see you show again" Shelby added.

"I know. She's been asking me for days now. But school is starting again soon and i want her to get used to her routine again" Rachel sighed.

"Maybe you can take her to a Sunday Matinee" Shelby suggested. "I would go with her. I haven't seen it in a while" Shelby added with a small sly grin.

"You just want to see it for free" Rachel laughed. "But it's a good idea. I'll ask her in the Morning." Rachel said.

"Okay. I think i will be leaving now. I will see you tomorrow" Shelby said. She gave kissed her daughter on the cheek, grabbed her things and left. Rachel went upstairs. Upstairs were 8 Doors. There were 4 Bedrooms, Rachel's Office/Music Room, a Workout room, a Movie room and a big Bathroom. Rachel went to a door that was covers in bright yellow letters spelling the name 'Grace'. She quietly opened the door. The room was dark. The only light coming in was the moonlight. The bright yellow walls seemed almost black. On the left side of the room was a small three steps stage. On that stage was a four poster bed, a kid guitar and microphone. Under a window right across the door was a big desk and right next to it was s big book/music case. On the other side of the room was a small walk in closet and a small bathroom. In the middle of the room was a small table with toys lying around. More toys were lying around the room. There even was a small kids Easel in on corner. Rachel made her way over to the bed. 'She really needs to clean her room' Rachel though as she tried to avoid stepping onto the Toys.

"Mama?" said a tired, soft voice. Rachel looked towards the bed. She quickly walked up to it.

"Hey Baby. Sorry i didn't want to wake you" Rachel said as she sat down on the bed next to her daughter Grace.

" 's Okay. How was the show?" the girl asked tired.

"The same" Rachel said as she pushed a strand of hair from Graces face.

"When can i see your Show again?" Grace asked.

"We'll talk about that in the morning okay. Now it is time for you to sleep" Rachel said smiling. Grace nodded.

"Can you sing for me Mama?" Grace asked quietly.

"Of course" Rachel said. She moved so Grace could snuggle into her side as Rachel put her arm around her. Rachel started to sing.

Stay awake, don't rest your head

Don't lie down upon your bed

While the moon drifts in the skies

Stay awake, don't close your eyes

Though the world is fast asleep

Though your pillow's soft and deep

You're not sleepy as you seem

Stay awake, don't nod and dream

Stay awake, don't nod and dream

Rachel looked at her litte girl fast asleep. She moved her out of her arm, pulled the blanked up, kissed Graces forehead and quietly left the room again. She made her way over to her room. It was big. Under a big window was a king size bed with cream colored covers. On each side was a white wooden bedside table. On the right side of the room was a white wooden dressing table. Next to that was a white wooden dresser with a small TV on top. On the left side was a walking closet and a Bathroom. Rachel quickly changed and went to bed.

The next morning Rachel woke up to her Daughters stereo playing some Disney songs. She looked at the clock on the bedside table. 8:34am. She groaned and got out of bed. She quickly showers and got dressed. She was wearing dark skinny jeans with a blue cropped shirt. Her wavy Hair hung loosely to one side. She then went to Graces room. She opened it and saw her Daughter singing and Dancing to Under the See from the Little Mermaid. She smiled. In the Daylight you could see many many posters, pictures and paintings covering the bright yellow walls. Over the Bed were three big Posters. All of the Plays Rachel had been in. There were Funny Girl, West Side Story, where Rachel played Maria, and the newest Wicked. Grace was dressed in a light pink summer dress with colorful flowers on it. Her brown wavy hair was in a loose ponytail.

"Morning Sweetie" Rachel said smiling. Grace looked at her.

"Morning Mama" she said with a big smile.

"I'm going to make breakfast. What do you want?" Rachel asked. Grace pretended to think.

"Chocolate chip Pancakes" she said. Rachel smiled.

"Alright munchkin. I will call you when they're done" She said and left her daughter to her dancing and singing.

Rachel went into the Kitchen. It was a big white Kitchen. There was a big double door Fridge with lots of pictures and paintings on them. On one wall was a blackboard with schedules, appointments, notes, Chores and drawings. In the middle of the room was a big kitchen island with 4 stools. On the wall to the left was another double door leading to the Dining room. Rachel started preparing the vegan Chocolate chips pancakes. While Rachel was a Vegan, Grace was not but Rachel made sure that Grace ate healthy and Grace really likes most of the Vegan dishes. A while later the Pancakes were done. Rachel placed them on the counter of the island and went to call Grace. Not one minute later Grace was sitting on a stool drowning her Star shaped pancakes in chocolate syrup. Once she was done eating she turned to the mother.

"What will we do today Mama?" she asked.

"Well we won't be doing anything until you have cleaned you room" Rachel said. Grace looked at her.

"Maaa..." Grace groaned.

"No arguments young lady. I nearly stepped on your Toys last night. How you even find something in there is beyond me" Rachel said sternly. Grace huffed and left the room. 'She really needs to work on her storm outs' Rachel thought chuckling while she cleared the dishes away. When that was done Rachel made her way to her Office/Music Room. The room was white and there were some posters and pictures handing around. on one side was a desk with a Computer on it as well as some drawers and book/ music cases. on the other side was a keyboard, which was hooked up to another computer, as well as a few microphones, a small drums set and two guitars. Rachel sometimes has some friends over to write and play around. Rachel was slowly working on her own music, wanting to record her own album. The whole room was soundproof. Rachel sat down at the computer. She had a few Mails to check and answer. After about an hour Grace came into the room.

"Mama I'm done" she said. Rachel looked up. She got up and followed her Daughter. True to be told the room was clean. There were no more toys lying around and even the bed was made. Rachel kissed Grace cheek.

"See that wasn't so bad" Rachel said. Grace huffed.

"Can we do something fun now" she asked.

"Sure. How about we go down to the Park. We could get some Ice cream" Rache suggested. Grace smiled at that. Half an hour later they were sitting on a bench by a lake eating ice cream.

"Mama. Can i come and see your show tonight?" Grace asked.

"Sweetie I know you want to see it but school starts again in 3 weeks. I want you to go back to your normal routine" Rachel said softly.

"Maa.. I am not a litte girl anymore. I am Eleven years old...i will be starting middle school soon" Grace whined.

"I know sweetie. But you need your sleep. Maybe i can work something out for the Sunday Matinee okay" Rachel said. Grace nodded a bit sadly. After they finished their Ice cream they continued stroking around the Park. At a Playground they saw some of Grace friends. Grace went to play with them while Rachel talked to their Parents. At first Rachel was frowned at because of her age, being only 27 years old she was by far the youngest parent, but after they got to know her they accepted her with open arms. Rachel even sometimes helps out at the school with plays. After Grace played a bit with her friends they decided to have some Lunch. They went to get Pizzas. Grace loved margherita. Then they did a bit of shopping where Grace became a new Backpack. Yellow with black glittery Stars on them. When they got home at around three they found Shelby already sitting in the Living room. Every night that Rachel had a show her mother would watch Grace. Grace and Shelby had a very special bond. Soon after that Rachel had to leave for the Theatre.

This Routine continued until School started again for Grace.

I hope you liked it.
