YOUR RESPONSIBILITY
Bellamy did something that he knew his mother may not be too happy about. She had never encouraged him to steal, knowing the risk. This was the firs time that Bellamy had attempted to, and well, he wasn't exactly skilled in the art of theivery. A new found friend had helped him though before he was caught and furthermore . . . he had even gotten the food! Sometimes it was hard, having to split the rations they got between three people.
He wanted to do something to take care of his family. It was his family, they were his responsibility. Maybe he could do this more often and none of them would ever have to be hungry! The thought made him eager for this solution . . . but also nervous. Why? Because he had nearly gotten caught this time. But what was that saying, practice makes perfect? Bellamy stepped inside their apartment, seeing that Octavia was awake. "Hi O!" He greeted, using the nickname he had created for her as he kissed the cheek of his three year old sister.
He then turned to his mother, a slight smile on his lips but a hesitant one. His mother may not be happy about this, but he didn't regret it! Though his attitude would have been quite different had he actually been caught. "Mom . . . I did something," he began to say, building up to the revelation. He paused for another moment, the food hidden inside his jacket as he then pulled it out and held out the package of food to her. "But it's something to help us!" He added on in attempt to justify his actions. For he knew his mother would know without him having to say it . . . that the meal was stolen.

Octavia was her sunshine. At this age she was easy to handle. As long as they passed off hiding her as a game, she was almost eager to play and in turn she was almost always up for the solution. Today was to be an easy day, though. There was no surprise inspection, the toddler could play outside and not fear having to hide in the floor. Aurora could work on her actual work today, getting clothing fixed and changing sizes for people. It was actually quite the good day in her eyes and nothing indicated she might be faced with something going wrong, if ever so slightly. Not even her sons return changed that initially.
It was his words that had her slightly worried. He said hi to his sister as usual, but then admitted to having done something, something to help them. What could a young boy like him have possibly done to help them? Well maybe it was in his own way, which she was more than willing to honor. But things could be dangerous and he was just a kid. Kids made mistakes and that was good, they learned from it. As Aurora saw the package of meal, she knew what he had done. She felt the fear and disappointment in her, but she needed him to admit to it. “Bellamy, what have you done? What is this?”

YOUR RESPONSIBILITY
Her question was a bit more difficult to answer. He would have to confess to what he did and . . . he wasn't sure why he didn't expect this. Outright anger? Maybe. Silence, perhaps. But now he would have to admit what he did! He never should understimate his mother's ability to . . . well, be a mother! And just knowing things that mothers always seemed to know. "I . . . borrowed, it?" He both asked and stated at the same time, as if trying to gage her reaction.
Borrow sounded better than stole . . . but he wasn't an entirely unintelligent child. He knew what the meaning of the word was. And he had no intention of returning the package of food. How could he?! They would eat it! You couldn't return that! Well, not in the same form it was taken. "But look!" He exclaimed excitedly, holding out the package. "We will have enough food for all of us tonight!" He knew his mom must be hungrier than she let on considering their limited rations. ANd he wanted to do something to take care of her and his sister; he wanted to take care of his family.

Damn it. It was cute and thoughtful and he had his heart in the right spot, but Aurora had to tell him that it was not okay what he did. It was not okay for many reasons. Many of those reasons had to do with the family he was trying to aid, which honored him, but in the end it was not what he could do. He was small, he made mistakes and he got away from it this time, but they couldn’t take that risk. Aurora lowered herself so she was on his level. She took his small hands into hers, looked into his warm eyes and started:
“Bellamy, listen to me closely, please. I know you meant well and you want to help us, but you can not under any circumstances steal. I know we don’t have a lot of food and sometimes we have to be hungry, but we have each other. Octavia has something more important than always having a full belly: She has your love. If you get caught stealing they can and will lock you up in the skybox. We don’t want that to happen. I know you meant well, honey, but you can’t do that again, do you understand? We need each other and each others love a lot more than to have full bellies. I will take care of it, Bellamy. But please, please, promise me never to steal anything again.”
