Being with Damon made me more confident about myself. I was actually happy again. Me and Xavier and Damon, we were happy.
School was closed for the week and my parents were away, attending my half sister; Clair's wedding.
I was actually glad I didn't have to go. School break would give me a chance to spend time with Xavier and Damon.
I smiled at the person I saw in the mirror. She had gained some weight and some color in her cheeks. She was no longer the pale stick figure slut who moved here to hide. Her wavy brown hair seemed shiny and her brown eye were wide and excited I had finally stopped feeling sorry for myself.
"Arianna? " I heard Damon's voice from downstairs. He had already let him self in.
I ran down the stairs as quietly as I could, I was always eager to see him.
"Arianna? " he calls again.
"Shhhh Xavier is sleep- " before I am able to tell him that my little bundle of joy is sleeping he covers my mouth with his and kisses me senseless. I had to wrap my hands around his neck to support myself since my legs felt like jellies.
"Hi."
"Hi," I manage to say, my head still spinning from the kiss we just shared.
Damon's hands were securely wrapped around my waist. His gorgeous green eyes looking into mine.
"I have movies, video games and snacks. What do you wanna do babe?"
"Lets watch a movie? "

An hour later Damon and I were cuddling on the sofa, lying down with my back to his front, watching finding nemo. We argued on what to watch for at least ten minutes he wanted to watch the batman marathon while I wanted to watch the friends marathon. Then later we decided on watching each others favorite cartoons. I picked finding nemo and he picked, frozen.
" What, don't judge me, its nice," he'd said.
I was laughing quietly at Dori when I felt Damon's hands on my bare thigh.
"I like that you're wearing shorts, " he whispers in my ear.
His runs run up and down my thighs. Teasing me. His touch drives me crazy!
I shift so im lying on my back and he looks down at me, smiling innocently.
"Hmmm looks like you're not really into this movie, me neither, "he smirks.
"Damon," I scold but end up laughing.
His lips are on my neck kissing me so sweety so gently. I moan and his hands travel down to the hem of my t shirt.
We both hear Xavier crying from upstairs.
Damon groans.
"Xavier. "
"Perfect timing." Damon says getting off of me.
"He can sense his mom is being harassed. "
"He doesn't know how much his mom is actually enjoying this," he smirks. "I'll go get him."
Damon comes down the stairs with a very upset Xavier. He is crying loudly. Tears streaming down his adorable face. His face is as red as a tomato.
"Awe my poor baby boy," I say taking Xavier from Damon. "Did you have a nightmare sweetheart? Its ok. Mama's got you. Mama's here. Mama will make it go away."
I kiss the top of his head. Xavier calms down a little but he's still sobbing softly. Hiding in my hair.
Damon is smiling at us.
"What?"
"I want to be a part of that," he points at us with his chin.
I smile "you are."
"I'll go get his bottle," Damon says, a concerned look on his face.
I nod.
By the time Damon returns i get Xavier to stop crying.
"Can I feed him?"
"Sure." I give Xavier to him.
There is a wide grin on Xavier's face when Damon finishes.
He reaches out for me but I shake my head. "No, mama doesn't wana carry you. Mama is tired. " I always like to tease Xavier like this.
Xavier angles his head to one side. "Mmmm.....mama?"
Gasp. Did he just? "What did you just say baby? Say it again. Please. "
"Mama." He says again. A shy smile playing on his lips.
Tears spring to my eyes. My son, my Xavier he just said his first word. He said mama. I took Xavier into my arms and kissed him repeatedly.
"Did you hear that? " I wanted to be sure I wasn't hallucinating.
"Yes I heard it." Damon was smiling too. He seemed almost as excited as I was.
Xavier is my whole life. And now Damon was a part of it too. After what happened to me at fifteen I didn't think I could ever trust anyone. But my gut told me Damon was a great guy. He was now part of my little family.

"Arianna," Damon whispers. Even in my sleep I can recognize his voice. Ah Damon's voice is like the sound of ice cream truck. He didn't literally sound like that but he gave me the same feelings I get Every time I eat ice cream. Chocolate flavored ice cream.
"Arianna. " I moan at the sound of his voice.
Damon chuckles. Shit. I wasn't dreaming. Damon was really here he was in my room. I sit up on my bed and glare at him. He can't see that since the lights are off.
"Are you awake? "
"I am now." I roll my eyes. Damon was staying with us for the week since my parents were away. Naomi had also gone to visit her dad.
"I can't sleep. Let's go watch Batman." Sometimes Damon demanded more attention than a six months old baby.
I sighed and followed him down the stairs.
We cuddled on the sofa yet again. Watching the batman marathon. My eyes felt heavy.
"Damon? "
"Hmm?"
"Why doesn't your dad live with you guys. I mean what happened? "
I turned to lie on my back so I could see him better. My hands reached up to touch his face and he closed his eyes, leaning in to my touch.
"My mom was around 18 when my parents met. Little did she know that my so called father was married. He really is an asshole. Anyway by the time my mother found out about his marital status she was pregnant with me. He couldn't marry my mom since he already had a son. That asshole gave her some money and she moved out of town. His son is a few years older than I am. My jerk of a father never once called."
Damon's eyes were filled with pain. I kissed me gently and he deepened our kiss.
I was now worried though what would I tell Xavier about his father when he grows up and starts to enquire whose DNA does he share.
