"Mom!" Hayden calls as he let himself into the house, he had told her he would come to visit today plus she never left the house without locking up. "Mom? I brought cookies!"
"I'm out back, baby, just give me a couple minutes!"
He heaves a sigh of relief at her confirmation, Grammy and Aunt Candy have been clamoring to see him ever since they heard the news and as a heavily pregnant Aunt Candy couldn't make the drive down, he would go over instead.
He didn't mind, it had been a while anyway. Hayden isn't sure what to expect when his mom makes her way in, he hopes she's not covered in twigs and leaves or something similar.
"I had almost forgotten to water the plants." She bustles in, looking spick and span.
Hayden frowns, he hadn't seen her doing any watering when he came in. "Watering? What plants?"
"I planted some more at the back, you should come see them some time but now we had better be on our way if we don't want to sleepover."
