I was readopted at the age of fourteen. Lisa, or Mom as I called her for a few years now, offered to adopt me. But she and James or Dad, always worked a lot. I felt as if I was being ignored again. But whenever she stepped in the house, I’d run to her bursting out into tears, I didn’t want her to leave me. She was the only mother I’ve ever known.

Nearly every time I was near her, I felt safe, cared for, and more importantly, loved. Some of you would say I was a “Mama’s boy” when it came to being around Lisa, technically I was. But it was only because my birth mother died, and I didn’t have a true mother to love me. After about fourteen years, I did have a mother. I was happy, because I had an actual mother that loved me, and my brother Chris.

But, I remember something like this, the scariest thing I had to do. I’ll start to where it was a typical summer night, about seven o’clock. I watched the door, hoping mom or dad would walk in the house soon. I was always tired of being alone most of the time. Even though Chris and Kevin were at the house a lot during summer, it never helped the fact that Mom and Dad weren’t with us at home all the time.

As soon as that door opened, I knew in one second that it was Mom (she always came home before dad) I had my hopes up when she came in the house. I ran to her and hugged her tightly. I was happy that she was home with us and she was happy to be home with us.

When it came just around bedtime and I was always worried to have a nightmare, I’d hold her paw. “Mom…can…I sleep with you and Dad tonight, please?”

She would lightly pet my head. “Sheldon, I know you’re worried about having bad dreams, but, I think I know what’ll help to keep the bad dreams away.”

As soon as she quickly left my side, she came back with my old blanket Caitlin gave me as a baby; I immediately grabbed it and hugged it tightly. Then I saw a Lucario plush doll in her paws, it almost looked like the one she gave Chris a few years ago. She placed it beside me.

“I gave the same one to Chris. I’m giving this one to you, Sheldon. I want you to remember this, when you hug it, you’re really getting a hug from me. And no matter what, I’ll be there for you, and your brothers.” She said smiling warmly at me.

I smiled back, reaching out for her paw and holding it tightly, not wanting to let go. She kept smiling and kneeled down to the level of my bed, and began gently and lightly petting my head. I could tell she was going to comfort me to sleep. And just like that, I was out like a light.

She kissed me on the top of my head and whispered; “Good night, Sheldon. I love you, forever and always, sweetie.”

Just hearing those words always made me smile. As soon as she left the room, it wasn’t before long that I was hugging my blanket and my Lucario doll tightly; they both had sentimental value to me. I literally slept like a baby with those two things.

But, the next day; I was waiting at the door for Mom and Dad to come home. I had my hopes up that they’d be home. I stayed there for about as long as I could remember. My stomach growled in an anger of hunger, my heart sank; a lump in my throat grew.

“Sheldon, forget it. I watched the news, ‘cause there wasn’t anything good to watch on TV. Mom, and Dad, are kidnapped by some random dude! They won’t come back home for a long while! And try growing up for once!” Kevin shouted from the den.

My eyes watered and I ran upstairs to my room and locked the door tightly. I crawled in bed, hugging the blanket and the Lucario doll tightly, crying myself to sleep. I kept trying to find comfort, but never found it.

“Sheldon, you okay, bro?” Chris unlocked the door with his claw and entered inside and walked up to my bed and kneeled down to the bed’s level. “Sheldon, what’s wrong?”

I tried getting the words out, but they didn’t come. The only sentence Chris could understand was this; “Chris, I just want Mommy and Daddy to come home.”

He did notice that Mom and Dad didn’t come home. He grew worried. But he stayed calm about it. “I’ll tell you what; If Mom and Dad do come home later then usually, if that’s even possible, I can transform myself into Mom and comfort you to sleep, how about that, bro?”

I slowed down my crying and dried the tears from my eyes and nodded. With one snap of his fingers, Chris transformed himself as Mom and even copied her voice. I couldn’t help but crawl on his lap and lean my head against his chest and act cute. I felt a lot of comfort that night. It wasn’t before long that I was sleeping like a baby.

I was tucked in to bed while sleeping peacefully and hugging my blank and Lucario doll tightly. Somehow in my sleep, I could her voice; and dreamed of me as an infant Riolu and her holding me in her arms, rocking me to sleep and singing a lullaby I’ve known since I was a baby. It was the only dream that made me happen since then.

The next morning was pure torture. We didn’t get anything to eat and we stayed hungry and uncared for the entire day. Some nights I had nightmares and didn’t find any comfort from anything at all. I was scared of everything now a days without Mom and Dad.

It soon became harder and harder to try to remember Mom and Dad. Sometimes after waking up from my nightmares, I’d always hug my Lucario doll and my blanket, slightly crying, and whispering; “Mommy…Daddy…please…come back home…I miss you guys……”

Whenever I was scared in the middle of the night, I’d find the lullaby that Mom sang in my dream and in a heartbeat, I was lulled back to sleep. But every time I’d try to come out and talk to someone about Mom or Dad, I couldn’t get the words out; I just stand in front of the door.

“Still waiting for Mom and Dad?” Kevin always asked me, but in a somewhat comforting tone of voice.

“Yeah…” I said timidly and worried that he’d beat me to death saying; “They aren’t coming back, you little punk!”

But instead, this time, he suddenly did something nice for me. “Come on, I want to show you something. Mom and Dad didn’t want me to tell you, kid, but I think it’s the right time.”

I didn’t want to know what it was or what he was going to show me, but I had no other choice but to fallow him.



We made our way to Eterna Forest to my birth mother’s grave. I kneeled down next to it, gently rubbing the engravings on it. “Mommy?...” I said only to myself.

The cravings read; “Here Lies Daisy Bella Aura, A Loving Mother And A Beautiful Wife. ‘Mommy Loves You, Sheldon’ R.I.P” I remember hearing those last words before she died; “Mommy Loves You, Sheldon.” I remember it, I’ve been memorizing it before I went to bed for as long as I can remember.

Kevin kneeled down next to me. “They didn’t want me to tell you about the grave until you were ready…but I think you are ready.”

I looked at Kevin, very confused. “Why are you being so nice to me all of the sudden? You never really liked me and you never wanted me in the family.”

Kevin looked down and answered in a low voice. “I…kind of hate to see a brother of mine sad like this. I know you’re adopted and you know that too, but I don’t like seeing a member of the family sad like this somehow. I don’t want you to worry about Mom and Dad. But, tell you what, kid; I’ll be nice to you and Chris, until the cops find Mom and Dad. Deal?”

I wasn’t so sure if he was making a deal with me or if he was tricking me into something, but I had no other choice, he was in the family after all, I could trust family members. “Okay, Kevin. It’s a deal.”

Kevin slightly smiled at me. “But, if you tell any of my guy friends about this--“

“I know, I know what you’re going to do if I tell your friends about this.” I finished his sentence.

He looked at my birth mom’s grave. “You know, your mom died when you were a baby, by hunters. That’s what Caitlin told Mom and Dad. And Mom and Dad told me. They didn’t tell Chris yet. You’re lucky that you got mine and Chris’s mom.”

Salty tears flooded, stun, and fell from my eyes. Kevin, finally being a responsible older brother and having a personality change, hugged me, doing his best to comfort me.

“I want Mommy!” I cried out, happy to get it off my chest. Thankfully, Kevin didn’t laugh, he understood.

“I know, man. I do too. I want Mom and Dad home too, but hopefully, the police will find them. Soon.” He rose back on his feet, and carried me back home.

I was surprised to see a personality change in him. He grew from a jerky-brother, to a brotherly-fatherly-figure. He cradled me in his arms, it was almost like I was his son.


When we arrived home, he placed me on the couch. “Okay, just wait there, I’ll be back with something to cheer you up.” He left into the kitchen, and later came back with a can of beer for himself and a can of coke for me.

I picked up the can and opened it and drank it happily, I could feel it tickling down my throat and down to my belly. Soon enough I was calmed down and happy again. “I’m actually surprised to see your personality change, Kevin.”

“Yeah, I guess. And…uh…I’m sorry for all the stuff I did to you and Chris, Sheldon.”

“It’s fine, Kevin. Really it is. You’re lucky I’m a forgiving boy.” We both laughed until we were crying.

I could say that it was a pretty good life so far without parents, but I still needed Mom and Dad. But I even remember seeing a bright light.

It started at midnight, I could get to sleep. So I walked down stairs in the kitchen to fix myself a glass of warm milk, to help me get to sleep, I was about to open the fridge and soon enough, I saw a bright light. It seemed to be an angel of some kind.

She had a Lopunny like figure, and blue fluff on her ears, wrists, and lower legs. She also had golden wings, and was wearing a snow white gown and had a flower crown on her head. I looked at her with a tear in my eye. “Mommy?”

“It is Sheldon, it is. Mommy’s here with you. But, Lisa and James need to be rescued. I’ll explain it to you in the morning. Just get some sleep, get some warm milk, and I’ll sing you a lullaby to get you to sleep better. Okay baby?”

I nodded.

“Good boy. That’s my good little baby.” She smiled, petting my head lightly.

After getting a warm glass of milk, I headed straight to bed. I jumped in bed and snuggled in the covers, hugging my baby blanket and my Lucario plush doll. My ears twitched as I heard my birth mother’s lullaby.

It was sweet, soft, and soothing. It immediately lulled me to sleep.
I know the titles kinda lame, but it's the best I could do. Anyway--

Plot:

Sheldon Aura was adopted at the age of fourteen by Chris's mother Lisa. But a few days later, she and James were mysteriously kidnapped! (Or Lucario-napped! XD ) And day, after day, Sheldon sadly waits at the door waiting for them to come back. But a surprising personality change in Kevin, happens to become more like a caring family member to both Chris and Sheldon, promising that until Lisa and James are found, Kevin shall protect Sheldon and Chris like the brother he should be. But when Sheldon sees Daisy as an angel, he's slightly scared, but comforted to see her. But is going to have an explanation at dawn when he awakes.

Anyway, I hope y'all liked the story. I own nothing anything copyrighted belongs to the rightful owners.

Chris the lucario, Kevin the lucario, Lisa the lucario, and James the lucario all belong to :iconhondasarecool:
