The following morning. Mom and I prepared for Dalton's birthday.
He was more than willing to invite his friends over since it was just two weeks away.
Keith and Aaron both helped in planning the party.
I was the one who had Keith to help, but mom, being her usual self, had that great idea to also, invite Aaron to assist in planning the party.

Can my mom, ever try not to get me into trouble?.

Aaron suggested that Dalton wear a royal blue tux while coming down to the party and later on, change into another attire.

Mom immediately approved even before I got a chance to speak.
Dalton overheard and jumped up on the idea.
I knew if I accidentally say no, mom might do something or better yet tell Aaron the truth and Dalton might not talk to me again.
"Sure, let's do it,"
I accepted.
Dalton gives Aaron a high five, he walks up close and thanked me.

Thereafter, Keith drove mom to the market to get some gifts.
I was alone since Dalton had Aaron accompany him to pick up his suit.
Why didn't I go with them?. I wanted to, however, I had an important work call and Aaron took Dalton without me noticing.
I rode into the kitchen to get a glass of water, there was this feeling I had settling around me.
I picked up the glass of water and came out, just to walk in and to find my entire living room filled with gifts, toys and a whole new thing's bought outside the desired item.
Aaron sees me looking.

"I'm sorry, I know you must be angry, but can I explain?".
He says.
I folded my hands to hear him defend himself. Mom walks in with the groceries and she screamed stunned by the scene.
I had thought she might say something about the excessive spending, but mom did the opposite by suggesting more things Aaron should buy.
While doing that. She smirked and asked Aaron to walk with her to the kitchen.

Mom shouldn't try and ask more.
Aaron might be Dalton's father but don't give him the indication?.

Keith gets a call and left. Before leaving he asked me to keep an eye on my son and Aaron.
Speak of the devil. He walks out of the kitchen, trying to book a horse ride for Dalton's birthday on his phone.
I saw mom coming out as well. I rode ahead and pushed her back in.
"Don't tell me, did you suggest Aaron get a horse ride for the party?"
I slammed my hand on the table.
"Jeez, calm down okay, remember his doing it for his son, ".
She passed me the leftover chocolate cake in the microwave.

Dalton walks into the kitchen.

He wanted to know where Aaron was, I pointed out his direction and watched him dash out in a hurry to meet him.
"Nice! Samantha, I hope that one day, you'll be able to forgive yourself, if your son gets to live all his years with his father, whom he calls uncle,".
Mom rode past and left me looking horrified by her words.

What. She can't make me feel more guilty than I already am, or can she?.
