My boys have always been my everything.

Every moment since the day they walked into my life my only goal was to protect them and make them happy.

I just wanted them to be happy.

I only ever cared about my kids so the moment the scruffy looking man showed up at my door saying he was Adam and Noah's dad I all but punched him to p lol get him off my porch.

I don't know if this was a trick by their mother or if he wanted money or would comment some form of violence.

"I don't want nothing, I just was wondering if they were ok?" He says and it pisses me off.

"You had six months to wonder if they were OK. They're fine now." I say before turning to shut the only for him to stop Mr.

"Four months. I've been sober for four months and I got a job, I start Monday. I'm doing better and I just want to see them. I've worked so hard for my boys and I just want to show them that their dad is getting better for them." He says and it pisses me off.

"You are not their dad, you left you kids in that Crack house on John Street. Maybe go looking there and you might find them." I say before slamming the door.

How dare he! And then to say 'that their dad is getting better for them.' that man wasn't their dad.

I don't care his reasons I don't care what he was doing? Suddenly their was another knock and I angerily open it.

"Please, I uh, give me a month, if I can't prove to you that Im doing better and deserve a chance just to see them again I'll give up." He says and I don't even want to entertain it.

"No." I say before trying to shut the door.

"June 3rd and November 27th." He says and I stop. Those were my boys birthdays.

"I'll show up every birthday, every holiday, every weekend, ever Monday.ok After school and before breakfast. But if you just give me a chance. A month and by the end of it you still feel I don't deserve to be in their life then I'll leave and never see them again. I promise." He says and I sigh.

"Or I could just get a restraining order against you." I say and fear fills his eyes at me calling his bluff.

"I'll give you a month." I tell him and he hugs me instantly and I sigh.

"Where are you staying?" I ask and he looks away.

"Well I just got a job and once I start working then I'll find an apartment. I've been looking and now a lot of places have application fees and-" I raise my hand and he stops talking.

"Where are you staying?" I ask and he looks down ashamed.

"I'm not trying to take them." He whispered and I sigh before grabbing his head picking it up and looking at him. ❤️

"Where are you staying?" I ask once more and suddenly he starts to blush.

"There's a old abandoned house and I just made one of the rooms into a little hideout." He says and I sigh.

"Alright, you want to prove to me you're worth seeing my kids." He says and I grab the keys from the rack by the door.

"I hand them to him and he looks at them. These are the keys to the house of John street. It's the same way it was the day they left it. You can stay there." I tell him and he nods and with that he leaves.

After dropping the kids off the boys at school I decided to see how he was doing and the moment I see the many red bags sitting on the curb I am a bit surprised.

He sat on the stairs smoking a cigarette and I get out to join him but the moment he sees me he looks away before putting it down.

"I, didn't know it was this bad." He whispers and I sit down next to him.
