I'm His Babyboy

Shopping for the Garden

I stretched while slowly opening my eyes, adjusting to the sunlight peeking in through the curtains. I looked to my right and...didn't see Daddy? Where is he? I got up and got dressed. I walked into the bathroom and started brushing my hair when I heard a small knock on the door.

"Mr. Ethan? Are you awake?"

"Yes, you may come in. I'm just brushing my hair."

I heard the door open and Cilean walked in.

"Good morning Mr. Ethan, Mr. Justin was called into work."

I smiled.

"Thank you for telling me. I started to worry. But how did he earn all this?"

"Oh, this was all inherited. The house, money, and all of us."

"Pardon?"

"When I was a little girl, my mom used to work for Mr. justins's father and mother. They're all very sweet. Nobody wanted to leave. Not even me. They paid for our insurance, doctor visits, and everything we needed."

I was impressed but not surprised. Daddy is extremely sweet and caring. I smiled and then started to think.

"Cilean? May I go to the store? Any garden store actually, I would like to make my garden."

She smiled and nodded. She walked out and I followed. We walked to the huge garage and I saw so many different cars. My eyes lit up when I saw my favorite car, one I haven't seen in years.

"Is.. is that a 1972 Buick Skylark?!"

"Ah yes, that car hasn't been driven in a while. Would you like to take it to the store?"

"May I? I'll be very careful with it, I promise."

"Oh, dear don't worry. I'll even go with you and pick out some flowers or whatever you want. I'll even pay for it."

"What? You'll pay? Nonono I'll pay for it."

This went on for a little while until I finally agreed to her buying it. She handed the keys to me and got into the passenger's side of the car. I got in on the driver's side and put the key in the ignition. I started the car and smiled. I looked at Cilean and pulled out of the garage. We then decided on a plant nursery to see what they had.

"Let's see if there are any fruit trees and seeds. Maybe even some flowers to attract hummingbirds."

"Oh hummingbirds, such tiny critters. Those are Mr. Justin's favorite."

"Really? I love them too. They're so tiny and one of my favorite species of hummingbird is the ruby-throated hummingbird."

She giggled and we parked. We then got out and started walking to the nursery. We walked around a bit and eventually, we found some mango trees, snapdragons, and even an apple tree. I picked up a few flowers and set them gently down in the basket. I wandered around more and eventually saw a beautiful plant. Babies-breath. I walked to them and saw the seeds for them. I picked them up and set them next to the snapdragon seeds. I started walking again. I picked up a few potato plants and even some yams. I started looking for Cilean. She was examining some foxglove and looked over at me.

"Aren't they beautiful? I was thinking about getting them for the hummingbirds. I got some hollylocks too."

"Perfect, They love those types of flowers."

"Excellent. Shall we go pay? We can come back another week."

"Perfect, thank you for coming with me."

We walked to the register and paid. We placed the plants in the back seat and I got in the driver's seat. I started the car and we drove back home. Once we got home, we took the plants to the empty garden. She then left me to do my work.
