Handsome, Let's Make A Baby!
Chapter 4 - Mother
Sage Winters
And then, she threw her horse across the room and told me "Mommy, not all girls play with dolls! Why can't you get me a new book?"
Sage Winters
Hahaha, can you believe she was like that at 3 years old?
I walked up to her and slowed down as I approached her and the crowd she had amassed around her.
Upon seeing me, she smiled.
Sage Winters
Julie... there you are, I've been waiting for you!
Juliette Winters
Hello to you too, Mother.
She was smaller in my memories, and wore a little more makeup too.
I don't know why she's here, but she wants something, that's for sure.
Juliette Winters
Let's go have coffee. My treat.
Sage Winters
Oh, how nice!
The woman got up and rushed to my side, linking arms with me like we'd been best buddies for years.
As I isolated her from the crowd, I finally confronted here.
Juliette Winters
If you're here about money, I'm sorry but Dad takes any extra I have.
Ever since the accident at the factory, my father has become an unemployed drunk caring for only booze and gambling.
Why do I take care of him? Because at least he stuck around.
Sage Winters
I'm not here for money.
Sage Winters
I've come to make things right between us.
Juliette Winters
And how can you do that?
Sage Winters
I want to prevent you from leading the life I lead.
Juliette Winters
What? Pregnant at 22 without a degree or a high school diploma?
Juliette Winters
I've been to university. A few years in advance.
Juliette Winters
I have three doctorates.
Juliette Winters
And a degree in business and finance.
Sage Winters
I knew that you'd go places.
We eventually arrived at the coffee shop, where my mother ended up ordering half the menu.
She had caused me to spend 21 lunch's worth of money on her alone.
How is she even going to eat it all?
Sage Winters
For starters, you need to find a man to marry first.
Sage Winters
Tell him about your plans to have a kid before you're 25, and if he agrees, you're a lucky one. If you don't, then start over.
Wait, what is she talking about?
Sage Winters
During the pregnancy, be careful. Try and eat healthy foods. I was lucky enough to crave salad when I had you-
Juliette Winters
Excuse me? Sorry, I don't get it. What are you trying to say here?
Juliette Winters
A guy to marry? Since when are you worried about not having grandkids?
Sage Winters
Juliette, there is a reason why you are like this.
Juliette Winters
What? Like what?
Sage Winters
Super smart. I dug through some old files and found our family ancestry.
Sage Winters
Our family is cursed, Julie.
I looked at my mother and decided to smell her breath.
Juliette Winters
It doesn't smell like alcohol... did you take something else?
Juliette Winters
I'm asking you if you're on something. Curses don't exist, Mom.
Sage Winters
Naturally, the smart one doesn't believe the old villain who left her.
Juliette Winters
No, this is you spouting nonsense in my workplace.
Sage Winters
It's time that I gave you this.
I looked up and saw an old letter, yellow with antiquity.
Sage Winters
Call me when you want to know more.
Sage Winters
I came back with guilt written on my forehead. I was a bad mother to you, but I still want to do the very best for you, honey.
And just like that, she disappeared, and all I was left with was a letter.
