-Baby
Baby pushed a cart filled with groceries around the supermarket while enduing that song. The one that reminded her of him. 'Now I've had the time of my life.' That extraordinary dance on the last day of summer. The dance that made her love him even more.
She had eggs, milk, and bread. All normal stuff, except for the blonde haired little boy sitting in the cart. It would be normal if she were married and had a house to call hers. But in this situation she didn't. All she had now was her baby boy. After that last dance, Baby and Johnny had to part ways. Baby with college coming soon and Johnny trying to find a new job, possibly with the Union.
"Mommy can we get apple juice too?" the little boy asked, pulling Baby from her thoughts.
"No Tristen. I told you. Our special coupons only let us pick one. OJ or Apple?" Baby asked.
"Orange juice." Tristen said defiantly. He definitely got his attitude from his father, she thought.
Baby pushed her cart with her groceries and Tristen in it to the self-checkout. She always felt embarrassed to let people see she used food stamps. If she had a better paying job she wouldn't have to use them. She was in her first semester at Mount Holy Oak when she found out she was pregnant. Her parents were disappointed and wouldn't pay for her college, so she had to get a job and a place of her own and hadn't talked to them since.
Baby selected the food stamps option on the checkout screen. She swiped her card and got her receipt. She had $78.62 left for that month. She wouldn't get more till September. She pushed the cart to the car and placed Tristen in his seat and loaded the groceries into the car. She turned the radio on and another song that reminded her of him was on. 'Dontcha feel like cryin?'
Flashback
He had my hand in his. His other hand on my waist, slowly moving up towards my shirt. He grabbed it and pulled it up over my head. We danced around a bit more until I got his shirt off.
When both of us were shirtless he moved me to the bed. He laid me down softly and started to take my pants off. I started doing the same to him. When we both were unclothed and exposed he attempted…
End of flashback
Baby knew she shouldn't think about that. It would only make the pain worse. She mentally scolded herself before punching the code for the gate to her apartment complex in. It opened and she drove in and to her building.
When she and Tristen were inside she unloaded the groceries started a load of clothes while Tristen watched some TV. After dinner she tried to put to bed a very excited 6 year old. Tomorrow was Tristen's first day of 1st grade.
When he was finally asleep she allowed herself to lie down and let her mind wander. She didn't do this often for it usually led to tears, but tonight she couldn't fight it. She let herself think of him. As soon as he entered her mind the tears were flowing.
-Johnny
"Daddy!" a blonde little fairy yelled from her playroom. "Daddy come play with me!"
Johnny walked into the bright pink playroom and picked up the little girl. "Lilly its time for bed." He said.
"Daddy no! I don't wanna go to sleep!" she pleaded with puppy dog eyes. Johnny would do anything for her. He would have let her stay up all night if she kept giving him that look, but he knew that she needed sleep for her big day tomorrow.
"Lilly you have to go to school tomorrow." Johnny told her.
"Daddy, I'm scared. Kindergarten will be scary." She said sheeply while picking at the skirt of her fairy costume.
"Hunny there's nothing to worry about. What are you scared of?" He asked the frightened little girl. He couldn't stand to see her in any state but happy.
"The big kids. They will pick on me. I saw them do it on the TV." She said.
"Hunny what have you been watchin'?" he laughed and tickled her. "It's all gonna be okay kiddo." With that he took her to her room, put her pajama's on and put her to bed. Only after 3 stories and a glass of milk did she finally fall asleep.
Johnny picked up what he could of her messy playroom, there were costumes, barbies and baby dolls everywhere. Then he went to tackle dishes. After the dishes were clean he vacuumed the living room and his room.
Now that things were tidy he could sleep well. He set his alarm for 6:30 and drifted to sleep, exhausted from a long day of single parenting.
A/n Hey! Okay I know this is supposed to be set like 6 years from their encounter at Kellerman's so that would make it about 1969 and that they probably didn't have self checkout or food stamps or possibly TV, but for my story's sake they will have whatever I need for the story. Anyway, thanks for reading & PLEASE REVIEW! :) xoxo AlexisR.W
