Mirabelle's POV continues
“And she cried a lot. Daddy I don't think mommy is happy there go and bring her please. I've told you a lot of times.”
“I'll bring her home one day okay I promise.” He said and kissed Arieya’s tears.
“One day today please.”
“Patience is a virtue my darling.”
Camilla wasn't even here for Arieya's birthday; she was tied up living her story.
My memory hit when my gaze falls on the phone clutched on Arieya’s right hand. “What are you doing with Kendall's phone?”
“I was talking to mommy on it and she said you call her.”
Adrian and Santiago looked at me. Surely Arieya had an imaginary friend but she wasn't one to lie unless prompted by someone.
Arieya's lips widened with a bright smile. “Call her.”
I took my phone and called Sheryl. She picked up after 2 rings.
“Sheryl?”
“Beta hey I was wondering when you'd call?” Sheryl responds from the corner of her phone.
I moved aside from everyone and finds a safe spot to investigate. “Arieya tells me you called her with Camilla.”
“Yes we did, Camilla came around 2 days ago and she's been asking for Arieya.” Sheryl speaks like it wasn't a big deal. She must be kidding; she knew how strained and terrible things had been during Mia's absence why keep us in the dark on this little upliftment.
“2 days... Does that mean she's okay now?”
“We'll have to keep her here for another month or so to be sure that she's cured. The doctor started treating her for psychosis and schizophrenia now she's doing a little better.” Sheryl says.
My fingers ran down the line to my ribs and pinched on a spot. I was freaking out. “So then there's hope now?”
Sheryl murmurs. “I don't want to get ahead of myself but yes there's hope. I've always believed Camilla would be okay and looks like she's healing.”
I sighed nodding like she was in front of me and could see my every move.
Before I get to hang up… “Do You want to talk to her... She's been taken for a walk in the garden?”
“No it's fine.”
“How are the little A's?” She asked again.
“They're all good, Adrian and Santiago are watching them.” I announce proud. Proud of Adrain’s unwavering love and commitment.
“Camilla will be so happy.”
“if she recovers.” I snort.
“She's strong, she will. She just doesn't know what's real and what's imagination right now. That's why she's still here. I should have told you but I didn't want to give Adrian false hope in case she become well, you know.” Sheryl encourages. Her words give me the strength I need to hang onto.
“I get it, so can I tell him?”
“Of course I know he misses his Mia and of course she misses him too once she's okay, they'll need to get alone time.”
“Okay I'll talk to you later.” I said hanging up because I heard Arieya laughing. I turned around to the sight of Santiago tickling her. That's one way to get a smile out of her.
“Adrian.”
“hmmm.” he said, putting Angela in her crib.
Arieya stirs. “Talked to mommy?”
“Yea she misses you.”
“Told you.” She smiled, turning her attention to Santiago again.
Adrian caught the fresh energy off my discussion and had to tell me in detail what's happening. “What's wrong?”
“It’s Camilla.”
“What happens when she tries to kill herself again?” He panicked.
“She didn't try, she doesn't have to try anymore.” His eyes widened and I realised my words made it look like she died. “No I don't mean it like that.”
“Moon.” The words left his lips more like a threat.
“She's been sane for a few days.” I rush out the answers.
“That's impossible. When I went there she was still in that room.”
“Well yes Sheryl said she's keeping her there for medical reasons and…” I went on and explained to him how and why Camilla is coming around.
“I'll go see her right now.” He sprints to the door.
“She can't see any of us now. She is still learning what's real and what's not. When you lost consciousness she passed out and created those scenarios in her head.”
“When can I see her?” Hard veins popped on his forehead as he clenched and unclenched his hard jaws.
“Soon a month or two.”
“Yet there's no guarantee!" He yelled.
“Her love for you... That's the only guarantee.”
He puffed hot air and slowly unclenched his jaws letting go of pressure.
“Adrian we have to go.”
“Can I come?” Arieya whispers to Santiago.
Adrian isn't in the right mind to take care of the kids full time yet he takes them 5 days a week and I get them for 2.
“Of course baby we can all go you Karla, Santi, Angela, Aurelia, Ariana and Arabella.”
“Yay.” she said happily without a smile.
I take control from them as their godmother and second in command. “Go and tell Karla you guys have to pack a bag.”
Even Karla lives with Adrian because she doesn't want to live with Angel as of yet and the fact that King is being nicer to Angel has her upset but King doesn't mind that Karla lives with Adrian most of the time. He thinks it's good for her and for Arieya too.
“Some of their stuff is already with us.” Santiago reminded me.
“They have too much stuff, that's the problem.”
“I'm driving with Santiago and the two that don't cry much.”
“Aurelia and Angela?”
“Yes Adrian can drive with Karla, Arieya, Arabella and Ariana.” Santiago replied.
“Okay I'll prepare the bottles, call me when you're ready to leave. I'll be in the kitchen.” I say hurrying to the business of the day.
Just soon. A little bit of normalcy will be restored.
