"Oh! My Goodness." What do I do about these two princes? One doesn't want her to come here and the other wants her to come. Am in the middle of these two princes who won't even operate together. If I continue to scrutinize things might get out of proportion. The two princes never agreed with one another ever since they were very little I wonder if they would agree to work together now.

"Mom, I swear Dolly will never learn. Can you imagine her littering her room in search of just common undies?" Nancy said pulling a chair and sitting down.
Haa..... Haaa... Haaa. Mrs. Smith laughed.
"You both are the same thing. You both act childish." Mrs. Smith said.
"Mom, am so hungry I want to eat right now," Bella shouted from the stairs.
"Who asked you not to eat? You can come and dish your food and also dish mine out." Nancy said looking at her fingers.
"Yes... Yes, wait milady de winter. I will serve your food for you." Bella said sarcastically pulling out a chair.
"Dolly, we are going shopping today and you won't insist," Nancy said dishing her food.
I have a lot of things to do today Nan. I have to prepare for work, visit the doctor and........ Bella kept quiet looking at the eyes that were poking at her.
Hmm ummm. I cleared my throat. Hmm... Mom what I meant was that I wanted to collect Angel's report from the doctor and am sorry Nan I can't come with you for shopping.
"What happened to Angel?" Mrs. Smith asked taking her phone from the table.
No... No... No mom. It's nothing, I promise it's not as serious as you think it is. I only took Angel to the hospital because she was complaining of a headache and the doctor said it wasn't something serious. I just wanted to collect the report from the doctor.
OK. I thought it was something serious. I hope she is getting better now. Mrs. Smith asked dishing the food.
Yes, mom. She is getting better now.
"I can't believe you didn't even tell me so." We would have stopped at the hospital to collect the report.
I forgot. Am sorry. And now that I remember, I will collect it later in the day so now let's eat and forget I didn't say anything about reports. Bella said as she shoved a mouthful into her mouth to avoid her from talking.
"Thank goodness. Am free, I almost got caught right there, I should be more careful anytime I speak." Bella said in her thought.
"Will you go with me to collect the report or what," Nancy asked.
Hmm... I will collect it myself you don't need to worry about anything. Bella said.
"I don't know when you turned into Robert," Nancy said and sniffed.
"Oh! Because I want to collect it myself am suddenly Robert." No problem, I don't blame you. Bella said.
"No talking on my table while eating." Mrs. Smith said banging the table. And the both of you shouldn't stay out late today.
"We are sorry mom," Nancy said and gave Bella a warning look which Bella retaliated. But why mom. Nancy asked.
Today is the lunar eclipse.
"What has that got to do with us." Mom your superstitions are so funny. Bella said and continued eating.
"Both if you should do as have said and eat without complaints." Mrs Smith said.
.......................................................................
"Now am finally free." Mom has gone to the NGO to visit the kids since she wasn't convinced enough. And Nancy has gone to visit her worthless boyfriend. And now I will just enjoy the peace and quietness of the house. Now where did i keep that stone? I remembered It was inside my bag, I took it upstairs, took it out of my bag and kept it somewhere. Where I kept it is where I can't remember.
Ring Ring. Bella's phone rang.
"Hello, mom. How are you doing?"
Have you gotten to the NGO yet?
Oh, you are not coming back home tonight?
Mrs smith: Yes Dolly, I am not coming back home tonight. I want to spend time with them. They miss me too much.
OK mom . Do as you please but please don't forget you also have a baby at home waiting for you.
Mrs. Smith: I asked Angel about her headache and she told me she didn't visit the hospital nor did she complain of a headache.
Oh! Mom? Maybe she forgot. Am certainly sure she forgot.
Mrs. Smith: OK please take care of yourself, Dolly and do not stay out too late.
Okay, mom, I will take care of myself am not that immature you know and I won't stay out too late.
Mrs smith: Ok baby, Bye.
Bye, mom.
The call ended.
"I have to call Doctor Michael."
Beep beep.
Bella dialed the Doctor's number.
"Hello, doctor."
Doctor: Hello Miss Bella. How are you doing today?
Doctor: Am doing perfectly great Doctor. I just want to ask a favor from you. Please don't tell anyone about my illness. Let it be a secret. I don't want my mom to find out now.
Doctor: OK Miss Smith. But I hope you can handle the situation yourself.
Yes Doctor I can. Thank you.
Call ended.
Bella, you have turned into a liar all because of the stone. Bella said putting her hands on her hips. Well, I have a good reason for lying and now I have to find that stone.
Ring...... Ring....... Ring
"Hello, Nan."
Nancy: How are you doing sweetheart?
Am good and you? How is your boyfriend?
Nancy: Don't be rude Dolly. He is my boyfriend.
Yeah... Yeah... Yeah whatever I know, I know.
Nancy: I can't wait for you to finally start working next to me. It's going to be awesome.
It's only going to be awesome if you don't step on me.
Nancy: Nah... Nah... I won't dare do that. You are my baby.
That's why I know you would trouble me.
Nancy: Whatever. I'll have to go now. Bye, sweetheart.
Bye Baby.
"I feel so exhausted and sleepy. I need to sleep." Bella went upstairs.
Aww... Aww... My lollipop. Did you miss me? Am so sorry I didn't sleep close to you last night.
Bella said as she pecked her teddy and pulled it closer to herself before dozing off.
