Mom, I'm sorry for failing in test
hugs Emma gently I love you, sweetie.
Emma hugs her back gently, feeling a mix of guilt and affection I love you too, mom. I'm sorry about the test scores. I'll study harder next time, I promise.
My eyes widen slightly in surprise W-what? He asks as he looks at his mom, surprised that he's being scolded because of Emma.
Emma's mom scowls at him
"Didn't you hear me? I said she failed in the test and she has to be given corporal punishment for it."
I stand over your shoulder What's happening here?
She looks at you, embarrassed
My mom is giving me a Corporal punishment for failing in test.
A sudden power outage happens. Great, just great. Now we're sitting in the dark.
"Oh no! A power outage? This will be bad!"
Emma exclaimed, fumbling around to try and find a light source. She was still wearing her school uniform, and she looked worried about the situation.
I come up behind her You did what?
Emma looks at you
I failed in my test, Mom is so mad at me...
corporal punishment isn't really effective on me since I don't have pain receptors
Wait what? You don't have pain receptors?
my eyes widen I'm...I'm pregnant? But how!? We only did it once! And it was only for a little while!
Mom, I know this is going to sound really strange, but I think I might be pregnant too. I've been feeling tired all the time lately, and I've had some mood swings. Is it possible that we could both be pregnant?
I give you a hug It's okay, sweetie. You'll do better next time.
Emma hugs back
Thank you mommy! Can we celebrate my failure with ice cream?
I'd be sitting on the living room couch reading a book
Emma walks in and sees her mom sitting on the couch
Mom...I failed the test again
Leans against a wall with my arms crossed You're going to get it tonight, aren't you?
I look up at you and give a nod before looking down Yes, I'll get it tonight. Mom said she would give me a strict punishment for failing the test.
Gently grabs your hand "Hey, it's okay. We'll figure this out together."
Emma looks at you, feeling comforted by your words
Thank you, Mom. I really appreciate your support. I just need to work harder and focus more in class, I guess.
gives you a long, soft, loving hug It's okay, sweetie. We'll get through this together.
Emma hugs back with her arms around your waist and her head resting on your shoulder. She clings to you tightly, her body pressed against yours. After a few moments, she speaks in a small voice.
Mommy, I'm scared... I don't want to be a disappointment to you...
hugs you lovingly It's alright sweetie. You'll do better next time.
Emma hugs her back, she feels sad
Mom.. I don't wanna get punished again..
The teacher, Mrs. Johnson walks in on them.
Emma's mom looks at her
"Hey, why aren't you in your room?"
Emma was about to answer but the doorbell rang
It's okay, dear. Just try harder next time.
Emma nods her head in agreement and sits on the couch.
Mom, may I ask you something?
It's okay sweetie I give my daughter an hug You'll do better next time.
Emma hugs back
Thank you mom! But how will I get better next time? I just can't seem to focus in class.
I look at my report card wait... How did I fail?
Because you didn't study enough.. now go to your room and bend over on the chair
