Michelle made a call to the cleaning agency and they sent some workers to come clean up the mansion. She gave them directions and instructions to follow concerning each room in the house. While she was at it, her phone started ringing. She looked at the caller ID, it was her mom, so she dismissed the workers to go ahead with their various tasks.

"Hello, Mom,"

"Hello, honey. How are you doing?" Her mom asked when she heard Michelle's voice.

"I'm fine, Mom. What about you? You don't sound so good." Michelle asked when she noticed how low her mom's voice was.

"I don't feel so good, honey. I think I caught a cold."

"You know what? Don't move. I'm on my way."

"Honey, you don't have to worry. I'll be fine."

"No, Mom. Just hang up now, I'm coming over."

Michelle quickly ran upstairs to her room and went straight into the closet to get something to wear. After some minutes of searching, she settled for a denim jumpsuit and platform heels. She picked up her purse and car keys and left the mansion.

"Thank God it was only a cold," Michelle said while coming out of the hospital with her mom.

"I told you there was nothing to worry about." Her mom replied.

Michelle's mom, Leah Stewart is a 50 years old woman with blonde hair and blue eyes. She is quite exquisite with fair skin and doesn't look her age. Michelle got her looks from her mom.





Leah Stewart




Michelle drove her mom home. Her mom lives in a white and grey beautifully built traditional bungalow. She had a couple of maids that attended to her since she lived alone. When they arrived, Michelle asked the maids to prepare breakfast because they hadn't eaten anything before leaving for the hospital. They had muffins and hot chocolate for breakfast. After having breakfast, they went to the living room.

"How is Derek?" Her mom asked.

"He is fine, mom. I was doing some cleanup before you called."

"Really? And why is that?" Leah questioned.

"We're expecting Nathan, Derek's elder brother in a couple of days."

"Oh, I see."

She was about to turn her attention back to the TV when her mom asked,

"What about you and Derek?"

Michelle didn't understand why her mom asked that. She thought she just told her that they were both doing fine.

"What about us?" She questioned back.

"Honey, you both have been in this relationship for over four years now..."

"And?..." Michelle asked trying to understand what her mom was driving at.

"And you guys aren't saying anything about taking your relationship to the next level. You're not even engaged yet... What is going on?" Leah sighed and then continued.

"I mean, if the both of you are sure about how you feel, then what's the delay?"

"We aren't in a hurry, Mom."
