I missed you

♡Ayanna's P.O.V ♡
I took off my apron putting it in my bag. I took my hair from out of the ponytail it was in before closing my locker and walking out the room marked employees only.
I opened the envelope with my pay for the week counting it. Three hundred and forty-two dollars including tips.
That's damn good for one week.  I can pay my bills with this and have roughhly seventy dollars left. I can use that buy things for my son's birthday on Sunday.
"Uber for Summer?" The driver asked seeing me. I nodded in response getting in. I told him my address and he drove to the location.
My little guys all grown up. He turns five on his next birthday which is Sunday. I can't believe it.
It feels like yesterday I was in my bedroom pushing him out. The most pain I've ever felt. But it was one hour of pain for a lifetime of happiness.
The car came to a stop and I looked up seeing I was our house.
"Thank you" I smiled getting out the car.
I walked up to the door opening it and walked in.
"Ash, I'm home!" I yelled. I started hearing little footsteps running. I big smile appeared on my face seeing him. I bent down pulling him into my embrace. His happiness and warmth flowed into my body. One smile from him and your whole day is better.
"I missed you mama"
"I missed you too baby"
I stood up picking him up with me putting him on my hip. I saw Ashley walked up to me. She's his babysitter.
"Thank for looking after him" I smiled taking twenty dollars from my bag and giving it to her.
"Don't worry about it. He was an angel" she smiled taking up her bag. She ruffled his long curly hair. He giggled nuzzling his face in my neck. She then left.
"What do you want for dinner?" I asked as I walked to the kitchen.
"Mac and cheese!" He cheered lifting his head. He loves mac and cheese.
"Mac and cheese it is" I sat him down on stool around the island. I set my bag down on the counter before going over to the sink. I washed my hands before I started on his dinner. I took a pack of Mac and cheese from the cupboard making a mental note to get more. I set the pot on the stove with water and the pasta inside it.
"How was school?" I asked turning around to face him.
"It was really fun. Miss. Jackson thought us to count to ten" he cheered.
"Count to ten for me" I leaned on the counter resting my face in my hand.
"1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10" he counted. I smiled feeling really proud of him.
"That’s good baby. Since your so smart you can have a popsicle after dinner"
He smiled clapping his hands together. I love him so much. I finished up the Mac and cheese sharing some in a plate for him and a little for me as well. After we ate I gave him a popsicle while I washed the dishes. I waited until he was finished. I picked him up in my arms walking to the bathroom to give him a bath. I changed him into his pj's before he brushed his teeth. I sat him down on the couch to watch a movie and then I went to take a shower. He's been the light of my world ever since I left. I have thought about him. Alot. I still do. The way he used to hold me at night and I felt at home. His soft pink lips against mine. The way he loves me. How he treats me. He has a big heart. To the world he's the devil but to me he's an angel. I'm grateful that he took me from that place. I still miss my brothers. All of my brothers. All nine of them and my sister. I miss all of them. But I have to forget about them. I know it's been four years, five on Sunday. I finished up my shower changing into a hoodie and sweats. I then joined Ash on the couch. He was watching Hotel Transylvania. When I sat he crawled up to on my chest laying there. I wrapped my arms around his securely.
"Mama?" He called.
"Yes baby?" I replied.
"Can you tell me a story?" He asked.
"Sure. What story do want to hear?"
"The one about papa and how you guys met"
I haven't hid from him his father's identity. I tell him about him but not into too much detail. This is one of the reasons I can't forget, but I won't hide him from him. He looks just like him. He's a constant reminder of my past and I love that I can't get rid of it completely.
"Papa and a I met when I was eighteen. We both went to a party and we instantly fell in love-"
"Love at first sight" he cut me off. I chuckled moving his hair from his face before kissing his head.
"Exactly. Now after we met each other and fell in love we moved in together and I met his brothers and sister and his neice"
"Aunti Elle" he chimed cutting me off again.
"Do you remember the name of your uncles and aunty"
"Zio Taylor, zio Alex, zio Andre, zio Alec, zio Max, zio Grey, zio Cole, zio Theo, zio Jake and zia Sophia" he replied listing them.
"Correct. So after I met them they instantly became my siblings. But zio Theo and Jake were already my biological siblings. The birds and the bees happened between papa and I and a few weeks after I found out I was pregnant. It was one of the happiest days in my life. In life theirs certain things that keep people in love apart. Papa and I got separated but we know that we'll always love each other. So then I moved here and this is where you were born" I finished the story running my fingers through his hair.
"Why did you stop?" He asked
"Because you fell asleep" I chuckled. He always acts like a baby. My baby.
"So continue bambina" he whined. I chuckled and continued running my fingers through his hair.
"Ash?" I called softly after it was quite for a while. I got no response letting me know he's asleep. I sat up holding his head to my chest. I turned off the television before getting up and walking to his room. I was about to lay him down on the bed when he suddenly started clinging to me.
"Can I sleep with you tonight?" He asked in a sleepish voice.
"Ofcourse baby" I replied taking up his stuffed puppy before walking over to my room. I turned off the lights walking over to my bed. I turned on the lamp beside my bed. I layed him under the covers getting under there with him. He immediately snuggled up to me wrapping his tiny arm around my waist. I covered us with the covers before wrapping my arms around him. I love this. He's my home. My happiness.

"What kind of cake would you like?" I asked Asher as I pushed him in the cart down the isle of the supermarket.
"Chocolate!" He cheered. Just like his father. I took up two boxes of chocolate cake mix putting them in the cart. I pushed the cart down to the party isle to get other party supplies. He wanted his friends over for a little get together so I'm making it happen. It's like six kids and their mother's. They don't like me and we all know why. I'm twenty-four and a single mother. I guess they allow their sons to be friends with my boy because he's a good kid. I took up a pack of party hats, paper plates, plastic forks and spoon and styrofoam cups. I then walked to the freezer to get ice-cream. I also got some popcorn and popcorn buckets. The last thing I got for the party was cake decorations then went shopping for the house.  After about thrity minutes I cashed everything before leaving. I saw my Uber already waiting. I put the bags in the truck before helping Ash in and getting in myself. We drove home and I unpacked everything and started baking his cake with his help.
