"I'm scared." I state.
"It's ok, I'm right here." Anatoly says trying to ease my growing nerves as we stand at the door.
"Me too, Mama." Aiyden says and I look down at him. He offers me his small hand to hold and I take it in mine.
Jasper and Kamari went home after our stay in Blaine's house for the past week.
I haven't visited my parents in ages too and I left them with a lot to think about. I wanted to see them and it was something I had to do alone....well semi-alone. I figured my parents would want to meet my son and my husband. I'm afraid of how they'll react but hopefully they'll have had enough time to cool down. Let's just hope they don't hate me for abandoning them.
I take a deep breath and Anatoly rubs a comforting hand on my shoulder.
"They'll be happy to see you." He assures me but I'm not sure how true it is.
I quickly knock on the door before I overthink it.
When the door opens I see my mom once again. Her hair is thrown up into a bun and unlike normal, she's wearing casual clothes.
She doesn't pay attention to who's at the door at first before her head swivels in our direction. When her eyes land on me she gasps in shock and shuts the door at the same time.
I look to Anatoly in horror.
"It's ok, she's just freaked out that's all." He says, trying to comfort me. "We should come back tomorrow."
"Come back tomorrow?" I say in disbelief. "My mom just shut the door in my face, she clearly doesn't want go see me ever again."
Am I really that much of a disappointment to her?
"I'm sorry." Is all Anatoly says. I'd honestly believed she'd want to see me and I think Anatoly did too.
Just as we're about to leave, the door creaks open and both of my parents stand there in front of us.
"I'm sorry for shutting the door on you." My mom starts. "You just- you shocked me, that's all. I haven't seen you in years and I wasn't expecting you to just show up out of the blue."
"Is that..is he your son?" My dad asks.
Before I can reply Aiyden does. "Yeah, I'm Aiyden." He says. "Hi." He waves.
"Oh my god." My mom says. "He's beautiful."
"And who is this?" My dad asks, referring to Anatoly.
"This is my husband, Anatoly." I state.
"Do you want to come in?" My mom asks.
I nod in response and the three of us walk through the door and into the house. Not much has changed since I last visited only now I feel like a stranger.
