Mrs Laderman brushed back her curls from her face and looked at herself in the mirror, as she felt the scream leave her throat she could feel herself Woge and hear the glass shatter. She couldn't believe that her baby had been taken from her, she was left all alone now with her husband gaining full parental custody and leaving the country. She didn't know what she was going to do now, how was she going to carry on?
She went through the next few weeks in a daze, those around her didn't want to deal with her moods and she didn't want to deal with people so she was left completely alone. Mrs Laderman didn't care though, she liked the solace, it meant she was left alone with her thoughts. However being left alone with her thoughts proved a bad thing when it ended her up in the hospital- she never seemed to pay attention to traffic anymore because "who would care if she lived or died?" and she got her answer when that taxi hit her. No-one.
Although there was no major physical damage that hospital visit changed her life. As she was trying to navigate her way out of the hospital she passed the nursery where she saw her. She was the most perfect little baby she had ever seen, although she was a newborn she had a full head of hair and the brightest blue/green eyes, as soon as Mrs Laderman saw her she knew that she needed to have her for her very own. She used her magic to disable the hospital cameras to hide the crime she was about to commit, no one could stand in the way of her having this baby, and as soon as she picked her up from her cot and walked out of the hospital she felt whole again.
That night as she rocked the baby to sleep, she knew that she would need to keep her hidden from the world, people would be looking for her- but no one would be able to take her away. She smiled, as the baby snored away in her arms, for the first time in a very long time.
"Thank you Claudia" she whispered as she kissed the baby's forehead.
