"You don't have to lie to me."
"How can you tell?"
"You and John do a similar thing. You refuse to make eye contact with me whenever you lie. So come on out with it. What's going on in that mind of yours? Is it your friend?"
"No, no. I—god you're gonna think I'm a horrible person when I say this."
"Try me." Wow she's such a sweetheart. As she rubbed my back comfortingly and handed me a box of tissues, I dabbed my eyes of the tears and I said.
"I—envy your son." She looked at me confused and that's when I continued, "I—I haven't even told Roger the entire truth but uhh—my parents were.....drug addicts. Hell my mum never even knew she was pregnant till she gave birth to me behind a dumpster. I was—merely a coat to them. They only noticed me when they wanted to. Then when I was 3 they—" I trailed off and shook my head.
"You don't have to explain anymore (y/n). God I—I cannot even begin to think what you went through. You poor thing." She tucked a strand of hair behind my ear and I said.
"I always believed that—all parents were like that. That's why I also denied authority in my younger years. But then seeing you and Deacy speak and treat Robert like that it—" more tears spilled from my eyes and that's when Veronica took me in her arms and proceeded to rub my back comfortingly.
"Ohh (y/n) I am so sorry you had to go through something like that. But think of it this way, even with a sad and troubled upbringing, you're still this beautiful, talented, charismatic young woman. Who I believe one day is going to change the world."
Wow—I mean I read on biography information that she was sweet and down to earth but this—it was just completely mind boggling. I mean I'm barely an acquaintance of her husband and she's already treating me like I've known the boys for years.
"Thank you Veronica."
"You're most welcome love, do you feel any better?"
"Yeah I....I've never really had the chance to cry about my past....at all really."
"Well I'm always here to offer a shoulder to cry on, or if you want to get away from the boys." We both chuckled and that's when she got up and actually made me some hot chocolate as a comfort drink. As I sat there for a while, I saw Veronica going through Robert's baby bag when she said.
"Oh darn it."
"What's wrong?"
"I thought I packed enough diapers for Robert but I guess I used the last of it just before his bedtime. And I can't ask John to run the errand for me because his hotel's 20 blocks from here."
"You can go get the diapers, I'll watch Robert." She looked at me wearily.
"Are you sure? And I don't mean this in a crude way but do you know how to take care of a baby?"
"I've dabbled here and there with some neighbors around my nana's place."
"Are you sure you can handle it?" she asked worriedly.
"Hey Veronica, trust me I've got this. Besides it'd be better than driving with a baby boy with a wet diaper to the nearest store, get the diapers, come back here, change him and put him back to bed."
"You're right okay well if you insist. His bottles are already made and in the fridge. Just warm it up for about 30 seconds in after putting the water in for the same amount of time. Uhh if he drops his sea turtle in the night just put it back in his crib. I should be back in a few minutes so you won't deal with him long okay?"
