"Go to your room!"It was the last thing she'd said...yelled to her son. Him coming home late from school, coupled with a detention notice, had caused the both of them to get into a rather severe fight. It did not help matters that he had already been showing signs of truancy here and there, and his grades were all but plummeting.
With the argument, a few things were very clear; He resented her for his father never coming back, and he was lonely thanks to her never really being home until late. Working two jobs just to keep the two of them alive and with a house meant that to him, despite her best attempts, she was failing as a mother since she had no time for him. Time and time again he came home to an empty apartment, and went to bed without much to eat except whatever junk food he could find.
Unwilling and not ready to get back into the dating scene with the wounds on her heart still fresh, her day off was spent scouring the internet.
Adoption was out of the question, as their small apartment wasn't going to pass such an inspection. Although she tried very hard to keep things clean,
AJ was a bit of pig; Wrappers everywhere, toys to trip on, and even a wall was smeared with blood from when he had a bloody nose and decided to use the wall instead of a tissue.
The next best thing...A sibling. A true sibling.
Trust in the imbuing sites was shaky, but for AJ's sake, she needed to try it.
With a new child, she'd have to get another job...Or go to a university to start working on a career. With a heavy sigh, she started to browse, making sure that she was very clear about the imbue being nothing romantic, and that she would keep the child with her. It would be hard, but.
"...Do it for him..."
