Evelyn Delia Emerson is a kind hearted, loving mother. She got married when she was twenty one years old to the love of her life, but when she figured out that he was cheating on her just a year later, her life was shattered. He kicked her out and s...
The next day was Saturday. I woke up, yawning and then looked over at Lily who was sleeping next to me. I sat up and placed my hand against her forehead, sighing in relief when her forehead wasn't hot against my hand. She wasn't having a cold or fever anymore.
Deciding that I can let her sleep in since it's a Saturday, I stand up and take a shower. I throw on a pair of blue jeans and an oversized pretty gray sweater. I use a straightening iron to straighten my slightly wavy hair and then let it loose.
I don't normally straighten my hair. I usually leave it in it's usual waves or curl it some more with a curling iron. Leaving it straight makes me look young. I used to straighten it before I was pregnant. Before I had anything to worry about. When I was carefree. But now I'm a mother. And straightening my hair makes me remember Damien. The way he used to straighten my hair while I sat in front on the mirror and we just talked and laughed.
The last time I straightened my hair was the day before I found Damien cheating on me. But...maybe it's time to change things back to normal. Just a little.

I skipped down the stairs, scrolling through Pinterest as i came to the kitchen. I place my phone on the counter and glance at the clock. 7:00 am.
Damien never wakes up on the weekend until 9:00 and I can let Lily sleep in. Damien always thought it was funny that I woke up super early on the weekends.
I opened the fridge and pulled out the eggs and the carton of milk. Turning back to my phone, I blast on my playlist, letting Wildest Dreams by Taylor Swift play.
I turn back to the kitchen, singing along with the song as I grab all the other ingredients I need with expert ease. I liked making food every once in a while, and Mrs. C. always took the weekends off, so I liked to cook.
I gabbed a bowl, and poured in everything, and then mixed everything together with a whisk.
"So say you'll remember me,
Standing in a nice dress,
Staring at the sunset, babe,"
I sang as I got flour on the apron I'd slipped on just before I'd started mixing everything together. Then I pulled out a pan from one of the cupboards and put it on the stove, turning it on.
I poured the pancake batter on after it had heated and made a bunch of pancakes, flipping them into the air and catching them back into the pan with a laugh.
My phone rings and I pick up the call, putting it on my shoulder and pressing my ear against it as I continue mixing the batter.
"Hello?" I ask, flipping the next pancake.
"Eve? Hey, I need to talk to you, honey," I hear my dad say.
"Sure, what's up?" I ask.
"Not over the phone. Can your mom and I come over for lunch? And Damien's parents as well?" Dad asks.
"Of course. Is everything alright?" I ask hesitantly.
"Yes. I'll se you then, darling. Bye," Dad says.
I bid him goodbye and then finish making breakfast and put everything on the dining table.
I ran back upstairs and woke Lily up. She glared at me, obviously angry that she was awoken from her deep sleep.
I smiled down at her, "Don't be like that, baby. Let's get you ready. You're grandparents are coming over today, and, you get to meet your other grandparents."
A few hours later, everyone was awake. I made Lily wear a pretty lavender dress that looked perfect with her green eyes. I let her hair free. Mrs. C. came over to help me cook lunch and I watched Lily run around the house, following Damien around like a puppy.
After we set the food at the dining table, Mrs. C. left, telling me to have a good time. She kissed Lily on her forehead and then left. I was just about to sit down when the doorbell rang. I lifted Lily up, spinning her around.
"Are you ready to meet your grandparents?" I cooed.
Lily nodded enthusiastically. I smiled and kissed her cheek, and balancing her on my hip, I went over to the door.
