new arrival

things are changing again

I have been staying with Paul for just over a month now and it is alot of fun but i have been wanting to go home for a few weeks now but mum keeps saying for me to stay here for a while longer.

Something is happening back home but i don't know what it is Mum visits me here all the time but daddy has not visited me since the party and mum looks really sad every time i see her and when i ask her what is wrong she just tells me everything is fine though i know its not

i was sitting on the couch watching my cartoons like i did every Saturday

" India" Paul said making me jump as i did not see him enter the room

" you made me jump"

" sorry ah your mum is coming to see you today she needs to talk to you about something"

"what does she need to talk to me about?"

" um well your mum will tell you when she see's you later ok"

" is it about daddy? i have not seen him in ages"

" your mum will tell you soon ok she is on her way so you wont have to wait long"

I have been sitting watching my cartoons waiting for ages on my mum to arrive to tell me what is wrong 

there was a soft knock on the door and i ran to the door and opened it and flew into my mums arms and she held onto me tight and she began to cry 

" whats wrong mum why are you crying im scared"

Paul grabbed me off mum

" come on let your mum get into the house and get her coat off ".

Paul had made himself and Cynthia a cup of Tea and he brought me a glass of milk into the living room 

" India i have to tell you something and its about your dad"

" is he hurt is that why your crying?"

" no darling he is fine. me and your daddy are splitting up"

"i don't understand what does split up mean?"

" well  your daddy does not love me anymore and that's ok sweetie. he lives in a new house now and he is not my husband anymore like he used to be" Cynthia said while crying

" does that mean he is not my daddy anymore?"

" he is still your daddy sweetie he will always be your daddy"

" has he stopped loving me as well?"

" no sweetie he still loves you lots"

" why does he not love you no more?"

Paul could see how hard it was for Cynthia to answer these questions and he grabbed her hand

" because he has found another girl who he loves more than me"

" does that mean i now have 2 mummies?"

" well i don't know you will have to ask your daddy?"

" i don't want you's to split up mummy"

" i know but it's ok there is nothing to be sad about you will still see us both and i promise once i get happy again you will come home to me and Hollie"

Cynthia stayed for a few hours and talked to Paul. 

it was now late and i was lying in bed and Paul came in to tell me my bedtime story

" so what story do you want tonight"

" i don't want a story Paulie" 

Paul sat on the end of my bed looking at we with a worried look on his face

" how are you feeling? i know its alot to understand"

" i feel sad i don't know why daddy fell in love with someone else"

" i don't know why either but sometimes you cant help who you fall in love with."

i sighed and fell asleep to the sound of uncle Paul singing to me
