1001 Words
We arrived at Henry's house and wow, it was a mansion. I parked the car and Daniel jumped out straight away and ran over to Henry's car. I get out of my car slowly and awkwardly. "Mummy!! Daddy's house is so big!!" Daniel shouts while jumping around. I smile and walk over to Daniel and Henry. "Do you guys wanna stay for dinner?" Henry asked while opening the door. I was about to come up with an excuse to decline, but then Daniel spoke over me. "Yes! Yes! Yes!" Daniel's actions made Henry laugh. "Alright little man. Lets have a buffe. Man who eats the most, wins" Henry says with a wierd grin on his face. For some reason, I really didn't like the idea of this. We walked through the door and the mansion looked like a palace. I tried my best to act like I wasn't dazzled by his house. All of a sudden we hear barking. Daniel instantly goes running towards wherever the barking is coming from. We arrive at the back garden to see a beautiful dog. "Oh, so cute. Whats it's name?" i asked. Just as Henry opened his mouth, Daniel spoke over him. " It's name is Puchi" Henry face dropped and I started to laugh. "Well actually my dogs name is-" Daniel cut Henry off "Puchi!!!" Daniel started to scream and shout. "Daniel! Don't shout and be disrespectful towards your father" I was shocked by my own words. Henry just started to laugh and Daniel started frowning. "It's okay. Do you want to go out and play with the dog?" Henry asked and a big smile was formed on Daniels face as he ran outside and started to play with the dog. Literally five seconds after Daniel went out into the garden, Henry shut the garden door and threw me against the wall. "What the hell Riele!!"He shouts angrily. "I'm s-sorry" He punched the wall. "Sorry isn't enough. all these years I've had a son that i didn't even know about. Do you have any idea what you've taken away from me!!! I wasn't there when he was born, I wasn't there to change his diapers..!!! I've lost five years of my sons life!! How could you lie to me like that.!!!! What do you think my parents are gonna think about this!! And over the phone... YOU told me that you were getting rid of the baby!" By now, i was already crying. "I was going to get rid of him. But then i just couldn't. I could do it." I say and sit down on the floor while holding my head. He didn't say anything. " Look at him Henry. How could I ever get rid of him. I could never picture life without him" I say while trying to stop myself from crying. Henry then look out of the window and sees Daniel playing and running around with the dog. A small smile apeared on his face, but it quickly faded. "Ok, then why not just say no to me or tell me once you were like...nine moths pregnant or something?" He asked without raising his voice. "Because I was scared!" I shout and continue to cry. "Scared of what!" Henry instantly replied. "I was scared of you beating me" I say while still crying. Henrys eyes widen and he quickly came and hugged me tightly. I was shocked by his actions. I continued to cry in his arms until Daniel walked in the room. "Mummy, why are you crying?" Daniel asked worried. "Mummy fell over and hurt herself, and Daddy's here to help me feel better" I say and smile. Daniel walked over to me and kissed me on the cheek, then he hugged me. After hugging me, he turned to Henry and said "Daddy is mine and mummy's super hero" Henry proudly smiled. Not long after, Henry attempted at cooking lasagna. I expected it to be terrible, but it came out pretty good. After eating we played a game of uno. Daniel loves uno and plays it all the time. That's probably why he beat me and Henry at it. "It's getting late. We should go now" I say as I look at my watch. "No" Daniel started to frown. I felt realy bad. "I want to be with daddy longer" Daniel says as he starts to cry and when he starts to cry, well, it's not pretty. I stand there not knowing what to do until Henry spoke. "Why doesn't Daniel just stay here for the night?" I looked at him in shock. "Are you sure?"I ask surprised. "Of course" He says while smiling. "oh" I say happily. If Daniel spends the night with Henry, that means I get to have some me time. "You hear that baby" I say with a wierd smile on my face. Daniel nods hesitantly. "Riele... are you alright?" Henry asks looking scared of me. "What! why wouldn't I be?" I ask while laughing. I walk out the house and turn around to face Henry and Daniel. I kneel down to Daniel height and kiss him. "Be good, okay" I say while hugging him. I stand up straight and look at Henry. "Well.. bye.i guess" He says, avoiding eye contact with me. "Yeah, see ya tomorrow" I say while awkwardly hugging him. We break the hug. "So... is there any particular time you would want me to come and get him?" It didn't take long for him to answer. "Nah, just come whenever" I nod. I wave goodbye to them as i exit the house in my car. I can't believe all that just happend, all in one day. On my way back, I decide to turn the radio on. Henry's Lie came on. Instead of getting upset and turning it off, I decide to listen to it. It's actually a really good song. I smilled at the thought of Daniel with Henry. I kind of feel like I finally have a family.
