Our first months together were great. Daniel loved being around me, at least that's what it seemed like. He wanted me to pick him up from kindergarten and he wanted me to read him a book before he went to bed. I think it was awesome. I really loved him. I didn't even think that the situation between us was weird.
One day when you were at work I went to park with Daniel. He was asking me all kinds of questions like "How can you and mommy kiss? My friends say it's wrong." And honestly I had no idea how to answer. You would say something like "Oh honey, your friends are wrong. Love is love." So that was what I said. And he believed it. Well I didn't lie though. Some people just don't seem to get it.
When we were feeding ducks by the lake we heard crying. Some boy was teasing a little girl. I think they were about two years older than Daniel. Daniel was four at the moment and he had never been violent towards anyone. He had always been like a sunshine. He had never said anything mean to anyone. Not even to you or to me. You had thought him well. I think I kinda messed him up a little bit.
After watching the teasing for a while Daniel couldn't stand it anymore. I think that's the greatest thing about him. He loves people. He can't stand watching anyone crying or hurting. He definitely got it from you. That's what I love about you two. You have so big hearts that sometimes I think it's impossible. But seems like it's not.
"Hey could you stop teasing her?" Daniel shouted at the boy. I honestly had no idea what he was doing. I was sure the boy would start teasing him too. And that would be something I couldn't watch.
"No. What's wrong with you?" The boy snapped back at Daniel. Then he looked towards me. I honestly wasn't expecting him to say anything about me. But he did anyway. "Who is she? Your mommy? You're definitely not her kid anyway. I mean look at you two. Nothing in common."
I was just about to say something back when Daniel opened his mouth. I was expecting him to run away crying or denying me being his mommy. He was a smart kid and he knew that he wasn't mine. But it still hurt me when some stranger pointed it out.
"You know what? Yes she is my mama and you have no right to say anything like that." After a little pause he continued. "If you do that ever again I'll beat you up with my own hands. You understand?"
The other boy just nodded and ran away. Honestly I was a little scared too. But I was too busy thinking about Daniels words. She is my mama. He had never called me that before. And he didn't call me that again until later that night.

When we got home you were already there. It was the greatest feeling. Coming home to you was the greatest feeling in the world. You kissed me and said you loved me. And then you hugged Daniel and said him the same. He didn't like when people kissed him. When we asked him about it he just said something about he being a big boy. But he loved to cuddle us.
When Daniel was taking a nap I decided it was time to talk to you about what happened earlier that day. I thought you would be a little annoyed that I didn't do anything to stop Daniel, but eventually you would understand.
"Hey baby, you know that I was at the park with Daniel earlier today, right?" You nodded and that was your way of asking me to continue. "When Daniel saw some kid teasing a little girl he told him to stop. And then the other boy looked at me and said something about Daniel not being my kid or some shit. But anyways then Daniel kinda lost it. I had never seem him like that before."
You were quiet for a moment and that scared the hell out of me. Were you mad? Would you kick me out? Well technically we didn't live together at the moment. But still I was worried cause I spent every single minute of my life with you and Daniel. If not with you two, then thinking about you. I couldn't even think what life would be like without you. So I was a bit afraid.
"Hm." You broke the silence. I didn't say anything because I knew that you would continue. You had put your thinking face on. "Well what did he say? To the other boy?"
"He said something about me being his mama and he having no right to talk about me like that." I stopped for a while to look at your expression. Nothing. "And then he said something about him beating the shit out of the other boy if he never said anything like that ever again."
"Well honestly I'm not suprised. He spends so much time with you that he has picked up some habits from you." You chuckled. "And about that you being his mama thing. I kinda warned you about that, didn't I?"
"So you are okay with that? If he starts calling me that?" I was shocked. I thought that you would want me to be just an auntie or something to him. But another mother? I never thought of it. Well fine, I did, but I never thought that you would approve.
"I am if you are." That was all it took. I pulled you closer to me and kissed you deeply. The kiss was full of emotion and just when I was about to deepen it Daniel spoke up. He had heard everything. And I was actually glad that he had because then I didn't have to talk to him about it. I was bad with feelings. No actually, only bad with talking about feelings and stuff.
"Mommy! Can I call San my mama now?" He was so happy that he started to cry. I was actually happy too and didn't realize that i was crying too until Daniel pointed it out. "Are you sad? I won't call you my mama if you are sad about it! Do something mommy!"
I couldn't help but laugh at him. "No mijo, I'm not sad. I'm happy, just like you."
"Mijo? What does that mean?" I was actually really happy that he asked me that. Because then I got to explain him some stuff that you would never explain to him. Not because you didn't want to, just because you didn't have the same roots as I did.
"It's Spanish. It's like my and son put together. In Spanish." The expression on his face was adorable. When I looked at you you had tears in your eyes. When they started rolling down your cheeks i had to do something. So I walked towards you and hugged you. And you hugged me back.
"Come on mama, let's go play! Mommy you too." That moment was actually the best we had shared so far. And every moment with you two had been great. But at that moment it really hit me that you were my family. That I was 20 and had a kid. It sounded weird, but I wouldn't have it any other way.

At night when Daniel was already sleeping we were lying on the bed. I was between your legs and my head was on your chest. I think it was great that we fit together. We still do though. And it still is great. But then it was all new. I had never felt that way before.
"Do you think that one day you would be ready to adopt Daniel?" You stopped for a while and when I didn't say anything you looked concerned. "I mean I'm not pushing you or anything but it's just that -"
"Stop." Your expression changed from concerned to suprised. I let out a little laugh and continued. "I would love to. And I'm ready. I have been ready for nine months now."
"But honey we've only been dating for nine months." You laughed.
"Exactly. I have been ready since the moment I met him." You pulled me closer and held me tightly.
"We really are the perfect combination, aren't we?"
"Yeah Britt. We really are."
