As I said everything that has been compromised between the two kids can be forgotten for less than 2 hours.
Sky and cloud quarrel from time to time, but not aggressive enough for me to intervene. Sometimes kids need to settle their problems themselves because if parents intervene there might be some unusual side effects like thinking if favoritism in their mind.
As the dinner is approaching my brother came home, well lately he's been busy at school, and being a college student that has a lot of thesis and stuff that needed to be done it is not surprising that he's been late.
"Sis I'm home what's for the dinner?" he dumbly asked as he sits in his place, took a fork, and insert it in one of the meatballs.
"As you eat, why ask? anyway, how's school? anyway, your nephew is here care to greet?" I asked as I call the maid to get a plate for my brother.
My brother looked at the cloud and greet enthusiastically. We have this excited looked that makes anyone have goosebump.
"Remember video games can only be played until 10:30 pm after that sleep," I said as I saw my brother looked at the little cloud.
Well, since my brother is a little different from normal kids, he only has a few friends where he can be true and not be timid. So seeing the little cloud who played him before make my brother happy.
The two boys nodded and I calmly pick some meatballs and place a piece of meatball on the three kids plate making them smile.
This life I love it.
I'm Happy

As I lay in my bed a knock came from the front door and the small door at the same time, making me shake my head and smile helplessly. These two little kids, really.
I opened the small door near the bed and set the sky in my room, she was smiling foolishly with a teddy bear in hand. I tap her nose and smilingly point in the bed as she happily climbs.
I opened the door and saw a little cloud holding a pillow with a cute smile. He had this foolish smile but fade away when he saw the sky, pouted and smile again at me. This kid.
"Alright come in too" I laughingly let him in.
We settle in bed, as for who in the center? Of course, it's me.
"Mom, I want to go to the zoo like we usually do that when weekends." cloud asked
I looked at him and tap his nose
"Alright we'll go there tomorrow, how about you sky? do you want to go to the rainbow house?" I asked the sky and hug using my other hand. She's handgrip and louse on my pajamas and nodded.
Usually, when my Ex husband Mike and I, aren't busy at the factory we will bring the sky to the rainbow house. It was a colorful house with lots of candy, chocolate, unicorn, and fairies stuff toy that a little girl typically like. Anyway, I haven't brought the sky there since I was out of the cell.
It's a perfect time since the cloud wants to go outside tomorrow. It will be fair enough for the two.
"Alright, let's sleep early," I said and tell them a short bedtime story while tapping at the two kids in my arms.
Early in the morning, the two kids woke me up
"Mom waking up, waking up!" cloud tap me in the nose and sky tap at my hands "mom"
I groaned, this two kids really have the same personality when it comes to preparing for play outside.
"Alright, I'm up, gosh you two its too early!" I said as I looked at the digital clock. mind you it's only 4 in the morning, sky usually woke me up like this before because she knows that ai prepare foods for the outing but I never knew that little cloud also does that. Thinking about his habits with the original host, I shake my head. We really are the same.
"Alright brush your teeth first and I'll go to prepare now," I said and looked at the two kids and thinking of a Good Idea.
"Sky helps your little brother in picking clothes today, it's a task for you," I said giving a task to the sky " And cloud after breakfast help your sister bring her stuff downstairs," I said waiting for them to acknowledge their task. When the two nodded, I kiss them in their little faces and I giggled when they both said yuck.
Sometimes life like this, is what makes my mother's life happy. Thinking of the dumb things I did in my past life, men aren't really that much important as long as you could raise your child happy and contended anything else could be solved.
Although I can't give them the fatherly love, I'm not less than in giving what a dad can give when it comes to resources.
