Bella chuckled lightly at my demand. What's with her....this is a serious topic.
Rachel: Don't worry Mr. Handsome. I have other games too.
Bella: You both can play. I've got a important work to complete. So I will leave you both. Okay Rachel.... don't trouble him.
We both nodded at her. She went to her room. But her faltering steps didn't go unnoticed by me. She even have to take support of the door frame to stand properly. But before I can go to help her she already moved into her room. I can't tell what is wrong with her.
My thoughts got interrupted when Rachel tugged at my sleeve. I looked down to see her small figure.
Rachel: Let's go Mr. Handsome.
Lucas: Hmm. Let's go. So do you have a RC car.
Rachel: I've that. Let's race.
We both went to the other room and Rachel took out her toys. She have quite a variety of toys. We played for sometime until I heard a grumble. Seems like this little bunny is hungry.
Rachel: I'm hungry. Let's go and eat something.
Lucas: No. I'm not hungry now. You can go and eat first.
Rachel: Think again. I will watch Peppa pig too.
Lucas: Well I'm a bit bored playing this, I will go with you.
Rachel: No you are only coming because of Peppa.
Lucas: No I'm not. I'm a bit hungry too.
Actually I love that cartoon. But if I tell this little girl, it will be embarrassing. What if she says something to her mother about this. She would probably laugh until she collapse on the ground.
I walked pass Bella's room meanwhile her daughter enter the room, probably to ask about her snacks. I sat on the sofa and waited for the little munchkin.
Soon they come out of the room and Bella directly went to the kitchen. While the hungry bun started the show. We watched it and Bella came soon after with some snacks.
Bella: Sorry to keep you waiting. Enjoy.
That was the invitation Rachel was waiting for as she didn't waste a second and attacked those donuts.
Bella sighed but smile soon after as she lovingly watched her hungry child gobble up the snacks. She looked at me slightly and turned to leave.
But before she can move further, her steps staggered. I got up to give her support. But before that she lost her balance and was ready to fall. But I caught her before she touched the ground.
Rachel too stop eating and ran to us. I sat on the ground and put her head on my lap. I knew it, something was wrong. I tapped her face lightly but she remain unresponsive.
Rachel: Mumma wake up.
Lucas: Bella please open your eyes. What happened suddenly.
Rachel started crying seeing her mother like this. It is my first time seeing her cry like this. I wiped her tears which ran down her cheeks and assured her. To be honest I was assuring myself.
Lucas: Baby stop crying. Nothing happened to your mumma okay. Can you bring some water? Maybe she wake up.
