Brighter days

It was a beautiful day in the neighborhood, the sun was shining brightly with a nice blue sky. Young Mary Jean wakes up with a big yawn. She stood up from the bed and dresses herself up for the day.

“Another day in the life of Mary Jean…”

She picks up her favorite skirt at the moment, a black skirt with white spots.

“I’m so glad I can wear my skirts again.”

Mary Jean dresses herself up and walks to Sarah’s room. She opens the door and watches as Sarah was fast asleep. She walks over to her and bends over, kissing her on the cheek.

“Wakey wakey my sweet Sarah.”

The little baby Sarah moved around and made sounds as her lovely mother picks her up from the bed and held her in her arms. It has been 10 days after she gave birth and the little baby Sarah was doing fine. Sarah began to cry a bit, but mother Mary Jean knew how to handle this situation and hugs her precious daughter and this calmed her down.

“There, there now.”

She brings her daughter downstairs and placed her in a different crib while she was making breakfast. Sarah quickly fell asleep and Mary Jean sighs in relief. Sarah was easy to handle, she just eats, sleeps and poops, like all other babies do. The nightly adventures however are less funny for Mary Jean. As a single mother, she was often very tired and this made her cranky sometimes. However, her lover for Sarah was strong, very strong. The love she feels for Sarah is so strong, that she’s far from complaining, she just often needs to sleep throughout the day. Luckily Valerie often brings her a visit and helps her with the baby duty’s, giving Mary Jean well deserved rests.
Mary Jean started her day, reading the morning newspaper looking for a new job, while enjoying a lovely bowl of cereal. She always kept her ears open for Sarah, by the slightest bits of cry’s she would come to act. She then spots an interesting advertisement for a new job as a secretary in an office, out of town. A well paid job. Mary Jean was immediately interested and surely had to make a call for it. She needed a new job, working as a cleaner wasn’t really a long term future for Mary.

“This sounds very promising, but first, I smell baby duty.”

She finished her breakfast and walks over to baby Sarah who was crying. Mary Jean cleans her diaper and brings her to the couch. There she releases her bountiful boobs filled with her lovely milk.

“Time for mommy’s milk!”

She breastfed Sarah and baby Sarah suckles on her tits, while Mary Jean hums for her young daughter. After she was done, she adjusts her bra again and placed baby Sarah in a pram, all cozy and covered in a blanket, dressed in a cute blue pajama with a small fuzzy hat. Sleeping once again.

“There we go, now I first need to make a call.”

Mary Jean walks to the phone and calls the number of the office.

“Hi this is Mary Jean Leheron speaking, I saw your ad today in the newspaper and I was very interested, so I wondered if…What do you
mean it’s an old ad? I…”

She looks at the newspaper and it was indeed an old advertisement, from 2 weeks old!

“Oh forgive me, haha. I Could have really used that job, but…anyway thanks! Bye!”

Mary Jean sighs and her attention goes back to Sarah. Stroking her head and soft cheeks with her soft hand, while Sarah often grabs her finger and Mary Jean starts playing with it, moving her finger up and down.

“Could we trade? I sleep all day and you find me job? Haha, no just kidding, your too cute to behold my little sweet Sarah.”

She kissed her baby on her forehead and placed the baby into a pram. It was time for a visit to the local supermarket. She leaves the house, pulling the pram along the way to the local supermarket. Once there she enters the supermarket and goes shopping with baby Sarah. Off course being a young hot mom did often attract the wrong attention, young guys looking for a hot young lady like Mary Jean, something Mary Jean was far from interested in. She walks along the shop and fills her shopping bag with grocery’s, fruit and much more.

“Let’s see what do I need? Do you remember what mommy needs? No your just sleeping…okay.”

Her thinking didn’t go unnoticed and soon a young fellow guy in his mid-twenties found the wondering Mary Jean and walks towards her.

“Hi there, need help?”

“Huh? No thanks(Ugh why me…just go away…)”

“Really, seems like you’re in quite a need of help, come on.”

“No thanks, I’m fine…(Why are guys like this…)”

“Come on babe, let me help…”

He then placed his hand on her shoulder, wrong move there buddy!

“I SAID NO!”

Mary Jean yelled in the store, stomps the floor and caught everyone’s attention. Sarah heard this too and began to cry.

“Now look what you’ve done? You made her cry! You happy now?”

She picks up her little baby girl and hugs her, trying to comfort her. The other people in the store looked surprised and looked in disgust at the young guy. It somehow felt to Mary Jean as if baby Sarah tried to do this to help and save Mary Jean from this pesky dude.

“There, there…”

The dude got embarrassed and walks away, hearing several other angered customers.

“Hey leave the young lady alone.” And old man said.

“Yeah, she doesn’t want your help.”

Mary Jean was protected by several other customers and tried her best to calm Sarah down. The pesky young guy left the scene and even left the store. The other customers attended to Mary Jean, which managed to calm Sarah down and placed her back in the pram. The other customers were all amazed by the cuteness of baby Sarah and they adored her. Mary Jean smiled and she was very thankful of the help she received. But she was also very thankful of Sarah. It really felt like if Sarah was actually helping her mother out of this mess, which was quite ridiculous as she was a baby, still Mary Jean thanks her lovely daughter.

“Thanks for helping me out Sarah *SMOOCH*.”

Mary Jean continues shopping as Sarah fell asleep again. She got all she needed and after paying for her products she left the store and walks back home. Once home, baby duty awaited.

“There we go!”

She gave Sarah a new diaper and breastfed her once again. Mary Jean was tired and she ate some lunch, leaving the baby Sarah in the crib. Right after that she picks up her baby and wants to cuddle with her baby Sarah. Mary Jean lays herself down on the couch, laying on her back and placing the baby Sarah against her chest, right at her boobs. Mary Jean was so tired that she could barely stay awake. Her eyes grew heavy and she had to sleep. She placed Sarah next to her and kept her warm with a blanket. Soon she fell asleep, with Sarah at her side, safe and sound.

Hours passed by and Mary Jean suddenly woke up as Sarah began to cry. She stood up and picks up her baby. When suddenly…

“Booh”

“AH! What the…Valerie? How did you get in? And how long have you been here?”

“Haha! You left the door unlocked silly! I guess around 10 minutes or so, but you just looked so cute! So I made a picture of you and sweet Sarah.”

“Ugh…I’m glad you’re here Val. So you can handle the baby while I take a nap upstairs.”

She hands over the crying Sarah to Valerie, while she walks upstairs.

“I uh…Sure! I can handle this”

“There’s a bottle of milk in the fridge, so if you need to feed her. Good luck!”

Valerie was given Sarah to take care of, but she didn’t know what to do. Mary Jean walks upstairs to her bedroom to get some sleep.

“Okay I can do this! Aunt Valerie will handle this! You watch Sarah.”

But she couldn’t and Valerie tried everything to calm Sarah down and stop her from crying, but she cried louder and louder. Valerie tried humming, hugging, she didn’t want the bottle, Valerie didn’t know what to do. She needed some fresh air and decided to take a little break and took in some fresh air outside, in the backyard.

“Valerie, you can do this, this isn’t hard…Okay let’s get back inside.”

Valerie enters the room again, however…

“Booh…”

She turns around and suddenly saw Mary Jean behind her and it spooked her.
“AH FU...Oh uh…hi Mare? slept well? Haha?”

“For 1 hour but someone was crying a bit long, any idea?”

“I don’t hear anything! Do you?”

“Val…”

“Okay! I don’t know what to do here, sorry!”

“*SIGH* Come on.”

She brings Valerie inside and walks over to crying Sarah. Mary Jean picks her up and hugs her, trying to comfort her. Mary Jean started humming and Sarah slowly, but surely calmed down and Valerie’s mouth dropped open.

“How…how did you?”

“I’m her mother Val.”

“Ah so that’s your secret.”

“Didn’t you try to give her the bottle?”

“She didn’t want it and…”

“I bet she didn’t, it’s that time again.”

“You mean? Oh…”

She released her boobs and breastfed baby Sarah.

“Well she’s kind of a perverted baby, only wanting the boobs.”

“I wonder from whom she got that?”

“I don’t know, but what I do know is this breastfeeding really did you good Mare, haha, your boobs are freaking huge!”

“And there’s the source, a perverted aunt.”

Mary Jean once again managed to calm Sarah down and she slept again, all peacefully and quiet, as always.

“There, I’m gonna get back to bed.”

“Now I can handle this.”

“Off course you can, she’s sleeping.”

“Now you go ahead and take some sleep, I’ll handle things down here. Go.”

Mary Jean walks upstairs and goes back to bed, leaving Valerie with baby Sarah.

“Aw…look at you. Your so cute! I can’t believe how cut you are, now come on and give your aunt a great, big hug.”

She picks up baby Sarah and held her in her arms, against her boobs, soft and warm. Valerie hums er own song and Sarah remained quiet.

Hours passed by and Mary Jean, who was sleeping upstairs, smelled something rather delicious. She had to investigate and she went downstairs.

“Hello sleepy head, I thought about supper and here we are.”

“Off course you thought about food. Better be as good as it smells.”

“Excuse me, I see that as an insult. You know my cooking Mare, just relax and enjoy.”

Valerie was a master cook, she was always cooking for herself, and often for her parents and her younger sister. Mary Jean was sure in for a treat. Though still tired and a bit cranky, she set the table and placed down the plates as Valerie finished cooking. She made a delicious cauliflower, potato and pea curry recipe, Val’s favorite.

“It looks delicious Val.”

“Oh and it’ll taste even better. Trust me.”

The ladies enjoyed the meal which Valerie prepared and she was right. It was amazing and Mary Jean enjoyed it a lot. Afterwards they both did the dishes and cleaned up the kitchen, working together like a real dream team. Mary Jean was tired, she didn’t get a lot of sleep so she was going back to bed.

“Are you sure you can handle her Val? Going to try and get some more sleep, before night duty calls.”

“Don’t worry Mare, I got this. You go ahead and get some sleep. I’ll stay here.”

“Okay, if you need me.”

“Don’t worry and get some sleep.”

Mary Jean smiles and walks upstairs to her bedroom where she laid herself down and tried to get some more sleep. Valerie was all alone with baby Sarah, but this time all was well and Sarah was in deep slumber, as usual.

After several hours Mary Jean woke up, hearing Sarah cry. She first ignored it, letting Valerie handle this, but after 15 minutes, Sarah was still crying and wondered what was going on.

“What is going on now.”

She walks downstairs as her Sarah didn’t go quiet and she enters the living room. There she noticed Valerie, sleeping on the couch, sleeping through Sarah’s cries.

“Off course, some babysitter you are.”

“Huh…what? Oh hi Mare…”

Valerie was very sleepy and almost fell asleep again.

“Hi Mare…Come on Val, you’re supposed to stay awake and care for Sarah! She’s crying now.”

“She is…oh wait she is I!...”

Mary Jean walks to Sarah and takes her out of the crib and tries to calm her down, which worked as Mary Jean starts humming and comforting her baby.

“But Mare I did what you asked for! She drank a bottle of milk and I cuddled with her and well she slept and…I slept...”

“That’s all?”

“Maybe…Hey I’m quite tired too, taking 3 hours off from work to get here. Been working a lot too you know.”

“Tired?!I gave you one job! I’m working my butt off to get things done around here, I’m the one who should be tired Val! Not you! I’m a single mom! You’re not!”

It remained quiet, as Mary Jean hit a sensitive subject. But Mary Jean was just tired, cranky due to the lack of sleep.

“I think I should leave...”

“Yes you should Valerie.”

“Okay..well…I guess it’s bye?”

“Bye Val!”

Valerie was quite shocked due to the words of Mary Jean and got pretty sad, it was the first time Mary Jean was so mad. She cried a bit, but she also knew her friend was having a hard time. She drove off and went back home. Mary Jean cried too, she just realized what she said and she had brought pain and she hurts Valerie, her best friend.

“What did I just do…”

Mary Jean’s attention went back to Sarah who began to cry.

“Oh come here, I’m sorry, Sarah. I really am…Mommy did something stupid. Guess it’s time for a bath for you.”

She picks up baby Sarah and comforts her and brought her to the bathroom. There she baths her baby and cleans her up, drying her with a towel and dressing baby Sarah up in a cute, little bear pajama. She placed her down in her baby bed and turns off the lights, leaving baby Sarah alone, sleeping soft and quiet.

“Good night my sweet little Sarah.”

She kissed her on the forehead and left the room. Returning to the living room downstairs. There she picks up the phone.

“I have to make a call.”

She calls Valerie and Valerie heard the phone ringing and smiles.

“Yes Valerie Bradson here.”

“Hi Val, it’s me Mary.”

“Oh…hi.”

“Look Val, I’m sorry, I’m just so tired and I got a bit cranky, I take back the words I said. I was just…”

“Mare…I know. I know you for so long haha, Your my best friend! Off course I’ll forgive you. I know what you have been through and I should have tried my best a bit more, it’s all new for me too and I…was afraid to fail, doing something I shouldn’t do...Tell you what, I’m an entire day off tomorrow. Now you’re gonna go get your sleep and I’m gonna take care of Sarah.”

“You’re not mad at me?”

“No, like you said, you're tired Mare, you need a day to rest. You’re doing great as a mommy, but tomorrow, mommy takes a little rest and Aunt Val will take care of it.”

“Haha, aunt Val, I still love it. Thanks Val, You’re the best.”

“I know Mare, haha, I know.”

Their conversation ended and Mary Jean sighed in relief. It’s a good thing that she called her friend. She really felt bad, but everything was fine in the end. She walks upstairs to go to bed, but before she does, she visits Sarah.

“My sweet Sarah. Tomorrow, aunt Val is going to watch over you. Be kind, she’s very special to mommy. Mommy needs a rest.”

She beheld her sleeping daughter as peaceful as ever. Mary Jean smiles and bends down to give Sarah a kiss for goodnight.

“Mommy loves you Sarah, mommy will always love you. Mommy will always be there for you. To protect you and care for you.”

She left the room after one more kiss and went to bed. Mary Jean was a good mother and she cared deeply for Sarah, her only daughter. But, off course Sarah didn’t let her mom get any sleep, any time soon, for after only a few hours later she began to cry.

“Guess someone is hungry.”

She stood up and fed Sarah some more breastmilk. Afterwards she placed her back in the bed and returned to her bed for some well-earned sleep. However, sleep was something rare these days and as usual Mary Jean had to go out of bed several times during the night, destroying her sleep pattern.

The next morning soon came and Valerie arrives as early as ever.

“Good morning Mare!”

“Morning Valerie, glad your here.”

She hugs her best friend and she hugs her back. It felt good for Mary Jean, happy that her best friend was here to help her out.

“But what are you doing here Mare? Get some sleep, aunt Val is here! You get yourself some rest.”

“Okay, I made a list of chores to do around the house and…”

Suddenly the phone rang and Mary Jean picks up the phone.

“Leheron household, Mary Jean speaking…Oh hello! Yes…yes…Thank you! Thank you very much. Bye!”

She hangs up the phone and smiles.

“Well you seem happy, what was that about?”

“I got a new job, finally! Working in a perfume shop just out of town!”

“That’s great Mare! Haha, awesome! Now go to bed and sleep, I’ll handle this.”

“Right, right…”

She walks over to Sarah.

“Mommy is going to get some sleep, don’t go too hard on Valerie okay? She can’t handle you haha! I love you my sweet Sarah.”

She kissed Sarah on the cheek and walks upstairs heading to bed, leaving Sarah with Valerie.

“So…It’s just the 2 of us eh well just to let you know I…"

Valerie beheld the baby Sarah, sleeping peacefully.

"Your sleeping as always. Well, I guess it’s time to do some cleaning around here....aw look at how cute you are, haha.”

And so it was that Valerie took care of young, baby Sarah all day, while Mary Jean had a free day off and got a lot of sleep.
At the end of the day Mary Jean finally woke up.

“Well, well there we have sleepy sleepyhead, look Sarah it’s mom.”

“Hi Val. How are you doing?”

“Were doing fine! Did you get some sleep?”

“A little bit haha. Listen Val, about yesterday…”

“Oh Mare, don’t worry about it, I…”

“You’re a fantastic aunt and even better…Sarah’s second mom. I’m so sorry for what I said.”

“*SNIFF* Oh come here you!”

She hugs her best friend and everything was going to be fine.

“You really do deserve a daughter of your own.”

“Haha, but Mare you know there’s not a single guy out there who can handle these and this! Haha.”

She shakes her boobs and smacks her ass, as she was speaking. Always displeasing Mary Jean, who'd always look away when she flaunts and shows off her curves. Mary Jean nods a little while looking at her curves.

"Oh please Val behave, not in front of the baby."

"See, not even you can handle them and we have been friends for years already. Don't worry about Sarah, she won't remember a thing."

"I hope so."

The ladies laughed and soon Valerie made another lovely dinner and the 2 of them enjoyed a lovely ending of the day. Right after dinner, Valerie left Mary Jean again and returned home. Mary Jean felt better, she finally had some well-deserved sleep and she got herself a new job! But first she had a maternity leave, so she wasn’t in a hurry at all to start. She could start as soon as she was ready.
The future turns brighter for Mary Jean, a bright future was on the horizon.
