‘I know they arrived but I haven’t got a chance to look at them yet’ Peggy replied.

They sat there staring in the distance for quite a few moments.

Why is she not mentioning Jamey Helena thought. She can’t just ignore what she saw can she? Does she really care that little? Helena wondered and as if reading her mind Peggy looked up.

‘Jamey huh?’ Peggy started and Helena stared at the ground, she wanted her mother to say something about it but being confronted with such an embarrassing moment wasn’t pleasant.

‘Well….  I guess I don’t have to talk to you about condoms’ Peggy said.

‘O my God mother’ Helena replied annoyed.

‘I’m still your mother Helena’ Peggy replied.

‘That would be a first’ Helena replied even more annoyed.

‘I got you the best nanny’s, the best schools and you have everything you need. You should be happy with me as a mother’ Peggy said offended.

‘If you think that’s the main thing about being a mother than yes you’ve been a great mother’ Helena replied crossed her arms and stared in front of her.

‘We where not discussing parenthood where we dear?’ Peggy said.

‘So.. Jamey is there something you’d like to share with me?’ Peggy asked when Helena didn’t respond to her fist sentence.

‘She’s a new girl at school and ….’ Helena started when she got interrupted by Peggy.

‘So my daughter is a lesbian’ Peggy said.

‘Mummy please!’ Helena said annoyed ‘Could you please listen to what I have to say? Or do you not want to hear what I have to say because apparently you already have an opinion’

‘I’m sorry dear I’d love to hear more about how this came to be’ Peggy said.

‘Well Jamey’s a new girl at school and we started to be friends and I showed her around school and I’ve really grown to like her a lot’ Helena started

‘And now she’s your girlfriend?’ Peggy asked looking at her daughter.

‘Yeah.. yeah I believe she is’ Helena said and smiled.

‘Well that’s nice dear, what’s that on your head’ Peggy asked

‘Oh you mean this?’ Helena asked and lifted her hair up to show her mother her wound.

‘Dear god how did you get that?’ Peggy asked concerned

‘This is nothing you should have seen it before’ Helena smiled.

‘What did you do?’ Peggy asked

‘I fell at the pool and bumped my head into the wall’ Helena said as if it was nothing.

‘Just like that?’ Peggy asked

‘Well actually Jamey came down to talk to me and I didn’t hear her coming and she scared me that’s why I bumped my head to the wall’ Helena said

 ‘Really so the girl you like caused your injury’ Peggy asked.

‘Yeah but she didn’t mean to scare me’ Helena said and stared at the floor.

‘Right..’ Peggy said in disbelieve.

Helena decided not to talk to her mother anymore and took a nap while the plane flew to New York
