I decided to call Sophie over to talk.I didn't want any miscommunication so I thought it would be best to have this conversation face to face.She agreed to come over and Aubrey was out so hopefully they didn't cross paths.
"Hey come on in."I smiled as I let her inside

"How are you?"She asked
"Im doing well.How are you?"I asked
"Im great.Thank you."She nodded
"Uhm we can sit in the living room.Would you like something to drink?Water,wine..?"I asked
She chuckled."Water's fine."
I nodded and went to grab us both a bottle.
I sat down with her.
"Okay what's going on?"She asked
I sighed.
"Well..Adonis and I are getting really close and I'm happy about that.Our relationship is great and I really adore your son."I started
She nodded."Okay."
"I guess that because I'm starting to do a lot of the things Aubrey used to, like waking him up, brushing his teeth, getting him ready for the day.Im more hands on and he's starting to become a little confused."I explained
"Confused how?"She asked me
"He asked if he could call me mommy."I could barely get out
Her face dropped.
"I didn't give him an answer because I wanted to discuss it with you.I know how you feel about this sort of thing..and me.I don't want to-
"He said that?"She cut me off
I nodded.
The look in her eyes...it was heartbreaking.
"I'm so sorry.I- I swear I didn't mean for this to happen.I didn't want this to happen.I could never compare to you.You're his mother.His only mother and I want him to understand that."I told her
There was a silence.
"You know...I didn't really think Aubrey was going to be apart of his life.I went through my whole pregnancy alone, trying to get him to take up for his responsibility but..he was more worried about your feelings than his own child."She started
I frowned.
"..And when he finally showed up for his son, for me, he wasn't even focused on us.I was giving birth and he had this..stupid look on his face.Later..my mother told me that you had talked to him outside while I was in labor.He probably doesn't even remember a thing because he was so focused on you.And now my son."She spoke lowly
