Once a wife twice a baby.

Mary smiled happily and kissed his forehead. "I love you, Chris. And you're my son and no one else's." She said

[Sephy]

Chris smiled brightly. "I love you too mom"

[Anon17a]

"Sorry, if I always seem so clingy to you. Cause.. the others were never tried to be taken away from me like you nearly were." Mary admitted

[Sephy]

Chris had heard this story a number of times. "I'm here mom, and I always will be"

[Anon17a]

"I know. I'm just being silly about the whole thing. Your father made sure your siblings wouldn't be in the same situation after he saw the trauma I went through." Mary said

[Sephy]

"It's okay, just pull me aside if and when you need." Chris replied back.

[Anon17a]

Mary chuckled. "Oh, honey. Why do you always know how to say the right things? You are your father's son indeed."

[Sephy]

Chris laughed. "I just want you to be happy, and I'll do all I can to make that happen"

[Anon17a]

"I'm happy as long as you are happy, my little love." Mary replied. "You should focus those efforts on your wife and children now." She said

[Sephy]

Chris nodded. "I'm always there for my family no matter which member. Even the twins"

[Anon17a]

"I know, honey and I really admire you for that." Mary said proudly.

[Sephy]

"It's just what you and dad taught me to do" Chris replied.

[Anon17a]

"Yes, even when the twins can be a real handful huh?" Mary said

[Sephy]

Chris just nodded back. "The twins are pain off and on. I'm just glad Thea helps to keep them under control"

[Anon17a]

"Yes, I know. They were so clingy to me when they were born." Mary recalled.

[Sephy]

"Where did the clinginess start? Was it dad or you?" Chris asked.

[Anon17a]

"Well twins require a lot of attention so it was hard to pay attention both at the same time was tricky. But I also had you to care for." Mary said.

[Sephy]

"Not that mom, I was wondering more about the clinginess that happens with our family." Chris asked back.

[Anon17a]

Mary smiled a little guilty. "Well, obviously it started with me. After that incident with you, I started to get a little paranoid. I felt like I had to hold on to all my children or they would be taken away. Especially you, Chris. I mean after the twins were born, my mother tried to give you away again." She said 

[Sephy]

Chris smiled. "You're just protective." Chris replied as he held his mother's hand.

[Anon17a]

Mary squeezed his hand a little and nodded. "I know." She said and chuckled softly. "I was lucky that the second round you also started crying non-stop when we left you there for too long." She said.

[Sephy]

"I don't remember much of it, but from Zack and Tony, when you leave a child for too long, they tend to cry until they're back where they want to be" Chris replied.

[Anon17a]

"It was very rare for you to cry like that so I knew that you needed me." Mary said with a smile.

[Sephy]

Chris squeezed his mother's hand. "We're always had a special bond, huh?"

[Anon17a]

"Of course, my little love. You are my first born. The one who made me a mother." Mary said as she looked at him full of love.
