The sound of a child's cry wakes her. Sleep rushes away as the word 'mommy' screams through the air and her feet hit the floor before her mind has the time to register:
'I'm not mommy anymore.'
She's in his room within seconds, hand soft and whispering through his hair as she gathers him in her arms, tucking him against her chest as he shakes.
“It's okay, baby. It's okay.”
Aaron clings, balling a fist into the front of her t-shirt. “Don't leave me.”
Claire stares at them from the doorway, a flash of wild grief ripping through her, and turns away.
For the moment, Kate's mommy again.
