Rosie
“Do you have everything you need?” Rosie asked as she looked at her
son hauling his backpack out of the bedroom and into the hallway. At five
years old, Elliott was the cutest thing she had ever seen as he sighed and
nodded.
“Do I have to stay with Daddy for a whole week?” Elliott asked, his
mouth turned down at the corners.
Rosie’s throat constricted as she went to her son and hunkered down, so
she was at his height. “It’ll be fun.”
“It’s never fun,” he replied, his bottom lip trembling as he wrapped his
arms around his mom and hugged her. “Why can’t I come with you?”
“Because I am working.” She held his small body against hers. “And it’s
Daddy’s turn to spend time with you. He’s been looking forward to it for
weeks.”
Rosie was glad her son couldn’t see her face because that was just an
outright lie. When she called her ex-husband, Terry, a couple of days ago to
arrange a time to drop Elliott over, it soon became obvious he’d forgotten
all about his son’s visit.
Guilt clawed at her. If she hadn’t been going out of town, she might not
have pushed so hard for Terry to live up to his responsibilities as a father.
No, that wasn’t true. She’d still have pushed for Elliott to go and stay
with his father. It was important they had a relationship. A child needed a
father.
As she held her son, Rosie’s heart ached. She wished things could be
different. That Terry made more of an effort. But that was the way he was,
and Rosie doubted that would ever change.
It sure hadn’t while they were married.
She pushed down her bitterness. Terry was still Elliott’s father, no matter
what. Pulling back, she wiped the tears from her son’s cheeks and forced a
smile.
“You’ll have fun, I promise,” she said, trying to sound more confident
than she felt. “Maybe you can teach your dad to play that new video game.
You know, the one with the aliens?”
Elliott gazed at her with uncertainty, then gave a slow nod. The idea
seemed to cheer him up a little. He was good at video games, and he loved
it when adults didn’t understand them whatsoever. It gave him a chance to
be the teacher for once.
Rosie squeezed his shoulder gently, mustering up as much cheerfulness
as she could. “What’s it called again? Space Frogs?”
Elliott sighed and shook his head. “Space Monkeys.”
“Ah, Space Monkeys. How could I forget?” She chuckled as he rolled his
eyes at her. “Come on, let’s get everything in the car.”
When she’d divorced Terry, they’d had to sell the family home, the place
filled with so many memories. Not all happy. But the ones she had of her
son were the best.
Now she lived in a small two-bedroom apartment in a
busy part of the city, far from the quiet suburban life she’d once known. A
part of her mourned that loss, but another part—the stronger part—
embraced the change.
