Our Son

When I woke up on Sunday morning, I went into the guest bedroom where Angel slept. He was looking out of the window into the backyard.

"I'm going to pick up Aidan from my mother's house," I informed him. "Are you ready to meet him?"

Angel nodded nervously, "Yea, but I'm nervous."

"You have no reason to be nervous," I assured him. "I will be back in a little bit."

After I walked into my mother's house, I called out, "Aidan!"

I heard Aidan running towards me yelling, "Mommy!"

I bent down and opened my arms for him, so he could give me a hug.

"I missed you, Mommy," Aidan said hugging me causing my heart to melt.

I grinned, "I missed you too."

"Does Daddy feel better?" Aidan asked.

"He feels much better," I answered. "He is really excited to see you."

"I can't wait to see him too," Aidan said excitedly.

"Is your stuff ready?" I wondered.

"Here is his backpack and overnight bag," my mother replied handing his backpack and overnight bag to me. "I helped him with his homework, so it's finished."

"Thank you for everything," I said appreciatively.

"You're welcome," my mother replied. "I love spending time with him."

I glanced at the clock on the wall, "I have to go. Angel is waiting. Aidan, give hugs to Nana."

Aidan hugged my mother and said, "I had fun, Nana. I love you."

My mother pecked Aidan on the cheek and said, "I love you too."

When I walked into the house with Aidan, I saw Angel pacing around the family room.

Aidan spotted Angel and greeted him, "Hey Daddy."

"Hey," Angel replied. "Did you have fun at your nana's house?"

"She took me to the park after school. It was awesome," Aidan said excitedly.

Angel chuckled, "I'm glad you had fun."

"Mommy said that you didn't feel good yesterday, but you feel better now," Aidan informed Angel.

"I feel much better now," Angel responded.

"Are you sure you are better? You're acting strange," Aidan said observantly.

"Aidan, are you hungry?" I asked changing the subject.

"Yea, I could eat a grilled cheese," Aidan answered.

"While you spend time with your daddy, I will go and make lunch for you. I'll be in the kitchen if you need me," I informed them.

After Aidan finished eating lunch, I could see that he needed a nap, so I tucked him into his bed for a nap.

I sat down on the sofa in the family room and asked, "What do you think about him?"

Angel smiled, "He is amazing. He is really smart."

I nodded in agreement, "I know. He gets that from you."
