Yas! All of you sitting in that front row clear out AryEmber is my personal person so I'm taking over no quarrel, no story. nice story

' So, tell me about yourself Catherine ' Casper said while they were sitting on a bench in the park and the kids were on the merry go round
' There's really nothing fascinating about me ' she told him ' I'm a twenty eight years old teacher, I love kids especially smart ones'
' Are you married ?'
' No, I'm not ' she replied with a plain face
' Oh, really? why the delay?
' I'm sorry Mr Casper but that's not something I'll like to talk about'
' I really am sorry, I didn't mean to touch a nerve '
' Why don't we talk about you instead ' she told him
' what's there to talk about?'
' Tell me about you '
' I'm Casper, a widower and father of two lovely girls.'
' How did you lose your wife?'
' she died while giving birth to Mia' his expression looking gloom
' I'm really sorry for your loss ' she said and placed a hand on his hand
' She wanted to have another baby even after suffering several miscarriages and the doctors warning, she was so happy when the last pregnancy got to its second trimester even though she was always sick '
He obviously missed her cause it looked like a a storm gathered on his face
' Tell me about her, your wife'
' We met in England when I went for my masters degree. She lived there with her parents being their only child. We fell in love and got married with her parents blessings. She was my everything, she gave me a reason to live, she sacrificed her degree to be a mom to Maya. She never got to see her kids grow, she had so much plans for us all. Each time I see Maya, I feel like am staring at Vicky Cus she looks exactly like her ' he told her
' What about her parents, have they come to see their grandchildren?'
' She lost both parents two years after our marriage'
' wow, I am sorry about your losses but one thing I have come to understand is that everything happens for a reason'
' I would give anything to know why Vicky died. I almost gave up on life when she died, I wanted to hate the little baby that took away my wife but one look at her and i realized she was a victim just like myself. it has really not been easy, raising those kids all by myself but I've got no choice.'
' once again, am sorry, but if it helps you are doing a really great job on them and its hard to guess they are been raised by just one parent' she told him and squeezed his hand.

' So, Catherine, tell me why you aren't married yet', I've told you the story of my life, so you owe me yours too' he said with a glint in his eyes
' uuhmm, there's not much, my fiancee abandoned me at the altar on our wedding day, and sent a text four days later saying how I don't fit into his plans for his future and how he can't be married to a backwater tramp like me. I relocated to this city and started afresh. But I later heard that he got married to my best friend '
' oh, that's a very big coward, his loss anyway '

A MOMMY FOR CHRISTMAS

The kids were back from the merry go round ride and they had so much to say. They were seated under a shaded tree sharing a huge bowl of ice cream. The mood was perfect and to a stranger they looked like a perfect family.

Catherine wished this beautiful family was hers but she was old enough to know that wishes weren't horses even if wishes were horses she wasn't sure she would want to ride this one because she doubted that this man would wholeheartedly be hers cause of the love he had for his late wife. She fears he would always used his late wife as a yardstick to measure her and she knew she would pale in comparison. She wants all or nothing.

' Penny for your thoughts Cathy' Casper said snapping two fingers in her face.
' Believe me, my thoughts are worth much more than that ' she replied sitting up with a smile

He felt kinda guilty because ever since he met her, the thought of Vicky had reduced but he wouldn't deny it, he felt at peace within himself, as if a burden has been lifted from his mind. Is this a sign you want me to move on Vicky? he thought
' Daddy, should I ask Miss Cathy?' his little daughter asked facing him
' Ask Miss Cathy for what?'
' If she would like to be our Mommy'
Catherine gasped looking all shade of embarrassed
' Hhhummp...' he stammered ' I am really sorry for that but she didn't mean it that way ' he said looking flushed
' Its alright' I understand
But she really didn't understand, why would Mia ask such question except they have been discussing about that.
' Miss Cathy are you okay?' Maya asked ' You look dull'
' I'm fine darling'
' OK. Mia and I were wondering if you would like to be our mommy, ever since our real mommy went to heaven, we have been alone except for the nannies, so we told Santa we need a new Mommy and daddy said we could ask you' Maya said
For the life of her, she couldn't think of a suitable reply for the little girl who just blew her mind away.
' Alright kids, I think we have had enough fun for the day, let's prepare to go home' Casper said.
' But Daddy, Miss Catherine is yet to answer' Maya whined
' Maya!' he yelled at her
' Alright daddy, you win'

He drove in silence, the whole car was silent and he felt like hitting his head on the wheel.
He got to her house in record time and she bid him and the kids a goodnight, he got down from d car to walk her to her door.
' Catherine' he said reaching for her hands
' I had a great time today, and I would love to do this again but this time without the kids'
' I ... I really don't think....
' Don't think, just say yes ' he pleaded
' Yes '
' Thanks sweetie and I apologize for my kids behavior earlier. Have a good night'. he took a step back and turned back suddenly dropping a kiss on her lips. ' Bye, will call you.' With that, he left for his car and drove off.

A MOMMY FOR CHRISTMAS

She had always prided herself with her cool headedness.

She is always calm and collected even in the face of trouble. Talking about trouble, she sensed it all around Mr Casper, one of her pupil's parent.The man was trouble with a capital T. With his almost perfect physique, he walks like a man who knows his worth.

She couldn't understand why he dominated her every waking moment ever since she saw him at the PTA on Friday. Fine, he was cute quite alright and his kids had told her their mom had gone to heaven meaning he was single.
Ever since her almost to be husband dumped her on the altar three years ago to chase after his dreams, she resolved never to let any man close to her heart. So, at twenty eight years, she was properly single and felt contented with her life as a teacher in one of the classiest and biggest school in town. She loved children very much but whenever she was around Maya and Mia, she always have a strange longing in her heart as if her thoughts were questioning her on when she would have her own kids. That was how she felt around their father also, she felt a sense of security, longing and maybe a dash of lust.

' I'm going bonkers ' she said to herself, getting up from her bed where she had been fantasizing about Mr Casper.
' he's a parent and should not be thought of in that angle Catherine ' she told herself again, but that didn't stop the wild thoughts from flooding her brain.
She was still thinking when she heard her cellphone ring.
' I'm coming', she yelled
' Hello there ' she said into the phone
' miss Cathy' a child's voice called back on the other end
' I'm sorry, but who is this?'
' Miss Cathy, its Mia'
' Mia, how on earth did you get my number and whose phone are u calling with?' she screamed
The little girl was obviously having fun because she giggled before replying
' I took it from your directory yesterday while you were at the meeting'
' young lady, you don't go sneaking into people's property behind them, its rude' she told her
' Yes, Miss Cathy, you sound exactly like my dad when I told him what I did'
' How may I help you Mia?'
' My dad wants to take Maya and I to the park and I was wondering if you would like to come along instead of sitting home all day'
' Mia, its really nice of you to ask me this but I don't think your dad will like it' she said even though her heart was practically in her mouth
' Don't worry miss Cathy, my dad is in full support because he has been asking so many questions about....
The girl couldn't complete her statement because the phone seem to go off after it seem like it was yanked from her.
Almost immediately, it rang again
' Mia ' she said into the phone
' Hi, its Mia's dad' a very rich baritone voice called out
' ummmhh Hi, there' she stuttered
' So would you like to come with us to the park?'
' Ummhh, you really don't have to take me along' she said even though her heart was protesting against that statement.
' I insist '
' Alright then, I'll forward my address to you. When should I be ready?' she asked
' We'll pick you up by two pm'.
' Alright. bye Mr Casper'
' Call me Casper' he said before hanging up
'Am I dreaming? please, wake me up' she screamed while slapping her face at the same time.
' I gat to take my bath and dress and ohhh, my address' .

A MOMMY FOR CHRISTMAS


' He couldn't stop smiling
' Daddy, why are you grinning ? do you like Miss Cathy?' Maya asked
' uhhnn? am I really grinning? he asked her and tickled her thereby making her launch into a laughing spree
' Daddy me too' Mia screamed
' OK baby '
' So daddy, will Miss Catherine be our new mom?' Mia asked after they were done laughing.
' Oh, baby, Miss Catherine will have to answer that question herself because I don't have an answer to it '
' alright then, I guess I will have to ask her.'
It was a beautiful Saturday morning and his kids pleaded with him to take them out to the park, he agreed and they asked if their Miss Cathy could come with them, he agreed thinking their was no way they could reach her until Mia pulled out her number where she wrote it from her directory, to say he was shocked was an understatement, and he had to form being angry because she practically stole the number but his heart was leaping for joy at the same time.
He had to collect the phone from her when she almost spilled that he had been harassing his kids to tell him everything they knew about her cause he couldn't stop thinking about her, with her smiling face and her beautiful body. Its been ages a woman dominated his thoughts this way.
He felt like a teenager in the first stage of teenage crush.
' OK girls, let's go get prepared for the park, we are going to pick up Miss Cathy first'
' OK daddy ' they chorused moving to their room.

A MOMMY FOR CHRISTMAS BY MARTHA

' Do you think Santa's going to grant our wish' Mia asked her sister while she was helping her with her hair
' I hope so, because we have been really good girls '
' I really really like Miss Catherine, she smiles a lot and calls me a special girl' she told her sister with the innocence of a six years old
' Well its good you like her Cus I also do, she smells like flower and her skin reminds me of honey. I hope she'll be nice to us and peaches'
' Let go meet Daddy' she told her kid sister.
' Daddy we are through' Maya screamed,
' Wow, my girls look delicious'
' Dad, how can we look delicious, are we noodles?' Mia asked and giggled
' Believe me baby, you are more delicious than noodles' they all laughed and moved to the car.
' Tighten your seat belts we are off to pick miss Cathy ' he told them.

A MOMMY FOR CHRISTMAS


'Sandra, cancel all appointments after 12 noon' he told his secretary
' Alright boss' Gosh! he looks as cute as ever Sandra thought. Too bad he doesn't notice her despite her beauty and smartness. Well, he doesn't seem to notice anyone, rumor had it he was gay but he had two kids so, that was obviously a lie.
She had had a crush on him since she came for interview and saw d demi god who was going to be her boss. She wasn't going to stress herself over a man, she was beautiful and smart and had a lot of men at her disposal so her boss could take several seats.

It was PTA day at his kids school and he had to be there for them, he would move mountains to show his love for his kids.
He would like to see the indispensable Miss Catherine his kids had been talking about. This days they couldn't make a complete statement without punctuating it with miss Catherine. it was always Miss Cathy said this, Miss Cathy said that.
' Today I will see the miss Cathy that's almost taking my kids from me' he said to himself with a smile.

' OK, Sandra, I'll see you tomorrow. Have a nice day dear ' he told his secretary. he was aware she had a crush on him but she doesn't stir him like his Vicky. No woman can stir his heart like Vicky.
He already made up his mind not to dwell on the past.
He got to the school in record time due to less traffic and found that most parents were yet to arrive, typical Nigerian.
' Daddy ' he heard a voice he could pick from a crowd. He turned and saw Maya running towards him. He bent and lifted her
' Hey baby, how are u'
' Daddy, I am no longer a baby, I am 11 years and should be treated as an adult' she told him
' hnnnn says the 11 years old girl. You would always be my baby even when you are all grown up '
' OK Daddy'
' Where is Mia?'
' She's with miss Cathy in her class, come on dad, let go see Miss Cathy'
she said while pulling his hands towards the classroom.

He wondered why his heart won't stop beating against his chest.
He haven't been able to take his mind away from the pretty lady he found his little daughter singing with in her classroom. She had a nice voice and a very beautiful smile. Little wonder his kids wanted her for Christmas, he wouldn't mind having her under his Christmas tree.
Her eyes were the lightest shade of brown he had ever seen. Her palm felt soft against his hard one.
' My God!' he exclaimed forgetting he was in a meeting.
' Are you alright Mr Casper?' the principal asked him ' Would you like to give a suggestion?'
' No no' he replies embarrassment written all over his face
Miss Catherine was making him lose control of himself.
She had a skin that shone like caramel and her smile was almost blinding.
' If only I can get her off my blasted mind' he whispered to himself ignoring the man sitting next to him who stared at him.

Hip! Hip! Hip! Hurray!
It's the birthday of a star today.
I first knew her as a writer but I've come to know her as a friend
She's very loveable but can annoy you to China and back sometimes
There's never a day we don't talk
She's my daughter and I'm her mother
Even if it should be vise versa, I like it that way
Happy birthday Cbella
The one I can whine to all day long and she'll listen
May God bless you abundantly all the days of your life
May your fountain of inspiration never run dry as long as you live.
Eva loves you plenty plenty. I'm sure you know that already.
Literaturelanders come and wish one of our own a very happy birthday.

Gosh! he was so worn out and would give anything to have a massage.

He got down from his car and went inside the house and saw his children watching cartoon oblivious of his presence

'Hey kids' he hollered

'Daddy!' they both screamed and raced out to him.

'How are u angels'?

' fine dad' they both replied

'good, how was school today?'

' we had a reading competition in class today and I came first and miss Catherine said I read beautifully like a newscaster, daddy who is a newscaster ?' Mia said all in one breath
it still amazes him how she is always able to give a complete statement without taking a breath.
' a newscaster is a person who reads news on TV and u Maya, how was school?'

' school was fine, we have a new music teacher, she doesn't like smiling'

' Really? maybe she's a Grinch. alright girls, daddy had a stressful day, so, let me go take my bath and we'll see what we're going to have for dinner'.
' Dats cool dad'. Maya said. ' when u are done, u can check our Christmas list on ur study desk'


He smiled and turn to go have his bath. He had a guess what the Christmas list would include; a new portable DVD player for Maya, a dollhouse for Mia and a new leash for peaches the dog.
A MOMMY FOR CHRISTMAS

He couldn't believe his eyes, 'are this kids for real?' he asked himself. He was through with his bath and decided to read their Christmas wish only to find a letter to Santa asking for a mom. He wondered where they got such idea from, because this issue was done and dusted among them. He was overwhelmed.
He dropped the letter on the desk and went downstairs.

' Alright kids, let's go prepare dinner' he said when he found their attention was glued to the TV.
' But daddy, Dora is coming up in five minutes' Maya said with a look of pure horror on her face.

' I know, but if we don't prepare dinner, we all are going to starve to death here ' he also said with d same look on his face
' OK daddy, u win like always'.
No matter how stressful his day was, he always made sure his kids joined him in the kitchen no matter their protest. It was their own way of gisting and telling how their day went.
' My ladies, wat would you like to have for dinner'? he said with a mock bow towards them
' My lord, we would love to have spaghetti and sauce' Mia said giggling
' We had spaghetti last night ' Maya said obviously still sulking. ' Let's have yam and sauce'
' Is that OK by you princesses?' he asked Mia
' Yes daddy'
' Yam and sauce coming right away' .



'So, I read your letter to Santa, I'm sorry to disappoint you both but Santa can't send a mommy for Christmas so u would have to pick something else.' he told them while they were waiting for their food to be ready.
' But daddy, you said Santa will get us anything we wanted' Maya said.
' Santa doesn't have mom in stock. and whose idea was that by the way?
' We need a mom' Maya said with a sad expression.
'Sweetie, ur mom is in heaven watching over you and your sister'
' We want a mom on earth' Mia chipped in
he sighed, the discussion was getting too long
' OK, I will check in with Santa and see what he has in stock.'
' Really dad? you are the coolest dad on earth. Maya screamed.
' I want miss Catherine to be my new mom' Mia said with a low voice
' What did you say baby?' he asked her but she obviously wasn't going to repeat herself so he faced his first daughter ' What did Mia say?'
' She said she wants miss Catherine to be her new mom'
wow!
' And who is miss Catherine?'
' Her class teacher'
' And why would you want her to be your mom?'
' Because she smells like flower and she is always smiling and she says she loves me because I am special' Mia replied.
' Wow'
he was speechless, he never knew his kids needed a female company so bad. he thought the nanny were enough but obviously they weren't.
' Why do u both want a new mom?' he said breaking the silence that enveloped the kitchen
' because everyone does' Maya said
' I need a mom to make my hair for me and give me a back ride, and to sing me a lulaby when I cry' Mia said
'wow '
' Don't worry kids, I'll pay a visit to Santa and tender your request. let's check our yam.' he told them in a bid to close the topic that was beginning to make him remember his darling Vicky.

Six years without her haven't dampened the pain her departure left him in. He could remember d day she died like it was yesterday.
She died while giving birth to Mia.
it was a cloudy day for him.
He almost lost all hopes but when he looked at his two kids, he knew he had a reason to live and that have been his drive for six years. And now those kids want him to get a new mom to replace Vicky.

Can any woman ever replace her?
Can any woman ever make him feel again?
Can anyone take Vicky's place in his heart.
he wondered and knew his answer lies in his heart.

Hi folks on nairaland, this is a new story that's brewing in my head. Please read and leave a comment as this is my very first story. thanks and God bless u.


Dear Santa, thanks for the beautiful red bicycle you sent last Christmas and for the nice red glass frames you got for Mia, we loved it. I took really good care of my bicycle and Mia took care of her glass frames and I'm really glad to tell u that they are still in perfect shape.
Santa, I've been a really good girl this year except for when I fed peaches hot dog against my dad's order.
I wash my uniform thrice a week, I do my homework everyday, I wake up very early, I take care of my little sister and I obey my dad.
I hope that counts as being a good girl Santa?
My dad said we should ask for what we want for Christmas so u can work on it.
well,Mia doesn't want an organ and I don't want new vcd player Even though my current one is old and faulty. What we want for Christmas is a new mommy.
we want a mommy that smells nice and smile a lot like miss Catherine Mia's teacher , she could be tall or short, we really don't care. she should love dogs and little girls.
We promise to be good to her and not give her many troubles.
Thanks Santa
love from Maya and Mia and peaches.

She read the letter one last time and dropped it on her dad's table.
'Do u think Santa will grant us our wish?' 6 year old Mia asked her sister.
'Don't worry, Santa always grant the wishes of little children who are good' she replied.
'Let's go walk peaches, she's been indoor since morning, remember she is pregnant and needs so much love and care from us'.
' Alright Maya'

It was 3pm and their dad wasn't back from work so they had the house to themselves till he get back by 4pm. The last sitter they had was down with the flu, and their dad was yet to get another for them.
'we really need a mum so we won't always be alone while dad goes to work' Maya told her sister who replied with a thoughtful nod.
'Alright Mia, let's got back home because peaches looks tired already'
'OK Maya I am also tired'

Alright guys!! this is all I can put down for now. please please please and please read and drop a few words of encouragement. Muah...
