Emily looked up at the ceiling, she hated the ceiling fan they had in their living room and decided that this weekend she was going to change it. She heard the backdoor open and close, keys hit the island, bag hit the table leg, and finally coat hit the tabletop. There was no denying it was Izzy. She heard the footfalls till they hit the carpet; Nico and Merlin were following her.
“Um… Are you ok?” Izzy asked when she saw her mother.
“JJ yelled at me.”
“Professionally or motherly?”
“Motherly?”
“I mean like wifely? I guess.” Emily chuckled.
“If it was professionally I wouldn’t be sitting here.”
“Laying.”
“Whatever.” Izzy sighed and made her way over to her mother. She laid down next to her taking her hand into her own.
“What about?”
“Honestly I cant remember.”
“Why’d you come home?”
“Because I couldn’t concentrate, so I just packed up and left.”
“Well it had to be bad.”
“We’re adults we fight a lot.”
“You lie, I’ve never heard you two fight.”
“Remember last Halloween when she shot the pumpkin.”
“That wasn’t really a fight, more like a common sense thing.”
“Still a fight.”
“So you cant remember what this one was about?” Izzy asked again.
“I think it had something to do about not wanting to take a family vacation.”
“Why don’t you?”
“I never really had one.”
“Well that’s just another reason to have one.” Izzy said and Emily chuckled.
“I was always blamed for ruining ours as a kid.”
“By grandpa?”
“Yeah, each time sticks out in my memory like a death sentence.”
“Well he wont be there.”
“Yeah, still.”
“Mom, you don’t need to worry about becoming your father, you are far from him.”
“I still worry.” Emily said and Izzy gave her hand a squeeze.
“Mom, I love you, I love the family you have given me, I don’t care that sometimes you guys are gone. I mean yeah sometimes I need or want my mommies but all I have to do is call, and that’s a hell of a lot easier than some of my friends. Did you know Nicole, her parents don’t talk to her besides one weekly meal?”
“Gezz.”
“Yeah. So just talk to her, she loves you and you love her so there isn’t much else besides love that one needs right? I mean that’s what the Beetles sang about right?” Emily chuckled and Izzy smiled. “Anyway, I kind of really want to go on a vacation.” She added and Emily laughed harder.
“You’re right.”
“I’m always right.”
“Keep thinking that.” Emily laughed. They laid staring at the ceiling for a few more minutes.
“My god is that fan ugly.” Izzy said wrinkling her nose in disgust, Emily started laughing again only harder this time, Izzy had a huge grin on her face.
