Chapter 7 A card and a journal entry.

Time flew quickly that day and Matthew is now back at the penthouse in the living room. Matthew is sat on one of the couches in his pyjamas with a notepad in resting on his knees and a pen in one of his hands. Phoebe is currently out with Cole for a private one on one meal. While the twins have just finished their school hours at the demonic academy. Matthew on the way back to the penthouse purchased a two dollar Mother's Day card and some of his mother's favourite chocolates. However, it would be the what's in the card and journal entry that would make Phoebe feel like a successful mother.

The following morning is Mother's Day and Phoebe went into work early just to get ahead of things. But what Phoebe didn't know that Matthew went into the paper before her and spoke to Elise in private. Phoebe in the morning received presents from the three boys and cards too which surprised her in a positive manner. Phoebe arrives at the paper and walks into her office to see Elise standing near her desk.

"Elise, what are you doing in my office,"? Phoebe asks.

"Just leaving you a copy of today's paper," Elise replies.

"Oh, Elise I'm sorry we couldn't do what you wanted with Matthew writing a journal entry he has my stubborn nature," Phoebe apologised.

"No, problem Phoebe just take a look at the paper and tell me what you think," Elise says as she hands the newspaper to Phoebe.

"Wait, you're not mad," Phoebe said surprised at how Elise was acting.

"No, not all just read the Mother's Day article," Elise instructed and Phoebe does as she asked and is surprised at what she reads!

Journal entry:

Dear Diary, in my fourteen years of life I've learned one thing to never take people for granted. This lesson taught me, that people come and go in life. But what doesn't go is their love and affection they have for you because that can never leave you it's apart of our souls. It has only been recent, that I've had the chance for my family to be whole me my brothers, my father and now my mother. But the thing is now that's she apart of my life it feels like she always been apart of my life. My mother knows parts of me that are even I didn't know existed she pushed me to do things I would never consider on my own.

Every day, I find myself growing closer to my mother even when we argue. The bond we share with our mothers is special like any other family bond. My bond with my mother started at conception and has only grown stronger as I grew. Looking back I never realised just how much my mother has influenced me in my life. In short, I'm lucky and proud to call my mom Mrs Phoebe Cole Turner.

I love you so much, mom.

End of entry.

Phoebe finds herself shedding tears of joy upon reading the journal entry. Phoebe never realised just how much she influenced her son's life. Elise upon seeing the tears hugs, Phoebe. Elise knows of the sacrifice Phoebe made to keep her child safe from the Seer for all those years and knows how much it has torn her apart not being able to be completely in his life!

"I never knew this is how he felt," Phoebe sobs.

"Oh, Phoebe what did you expect he has you as a mother," Elise replies.

"I know but this I never thought about how I would influence his life," Phoebe cries.

"Phoebe he got the best parts of you and Cole, Matthew got so much love and compassion from you that he wanted those who couldn't be in the same time or world as each other to be together and was trying to make it so," Elise says.

"Thank you, Elise," Phoebe spoke.

"No, problem and my full name is actually Jackie Elise Rothman," Elise commented shocking Phoebe.

The End.
