Are you sure about that?
Edmund happily curls up against his mum, nodding as he accepts her words. Something in him soothes as he realizes that his Mummy had been in the same situation as him. Needing to tell him something but still trying to find the words to do so. The child reaches up and kisses his Mum's cheek, "Ok Mummy, I understand." He wasn't mad at all.
His Mum's question about Papa makes Edmund furrow his brow in thought. "I don't know...confused? Happy? A little sad?" His emotions had been a confusing tangle of feeling and they still were somewhat. "I was happy to see him. I still am. But it was a surprise, and I felt a little angry that he'd stayed away for so long." The child leans further into his Mum's hold. "I missed him. It was nice to hug him. He seemed like he really missed me too."
Edmund let out a small sigh, "He got lost Mummy. I told him I'd come find him if he ever got lost again. But I don't know how to do that." This was what weighed most heavily on the child. He was still so small; how could he protect his Mummy and Papa?
