Unfortunately for the next 5 months, the schedule of driving back and forth to your brother's house after picking milo up and then going back to work, became routine for Milo and yourself, today was different though.
"Good afternoon Ms.Blight, im here to pick up Milo like we scheduled!" You walked in through the building confidently to pick up your son, which was very much needed because that lady at the front desk? She was no joke.
"You know the drill. Except this time you need to pick him from his class. Luckily they're at free-time now so you are not interrupting any valuable class time". Though she never once said it, it felt like the words "nuisance" and "disturbance" were jammed into your heart.
"Room 5 on your left."
"Thank you!" You hurriedly walked to said room and was greeted by the teacher.
"Good afternoon, can I help you with something? Are you here to pick up your brother? Dismissal time is at 3." A silver haired man almost towered over your figure. (dw guys you're not gonna be small and petite😎🦅)
"Huh? Oh no sorry, I'm a parent." His eyes widen with shock and embarrassment. "I'm so sorry miss! You just look very young!" He bowed to show his respect. which wasn't needed, but oh well.
"Oh no it's completely fine, I get it a lot. And I am pretty young for a mother, I am 23." You sheepishly looked to the side while fidgeting with your thumbs. "Um- uh anyways, I'm here to pick up my son Milo?" His semi embarrassed expression turned into one of interest. "You're Milo's mom? How come i've never seen you at the Parent-Teacher conferences? " He asked "well im usually busy with work, i requested all of the info on milo get emailed to me, but that has yet to happen. Sorry we had to meet this way, but yes im picking Milo up early for a doctor's appointment."
He extended his hand out almost excitedly, "Oh! No worries, and I'm sure I can get those personalized reports out for you, it's no trouble. I'm his teacher, Koshi Sugawara." You shook his hand and realized who he was. "Oh you're Koshi Sugawara from Karasuno high?""You know me?" His expression quickly went back into one of shock. "Oh no I don't know you but my brother does, he went to school with you. His name is Tadashi Yamaguchi."
"Yamaguchi is your brother? Wow... how come i never saw you at school?" He questioned. "Oh no I didn't go to Karasuno, I went to Shiratorizawa." He made a 'oh' face and quickly changed the subject back to professional. "Well Ms.l/n you've done wonders with Milo, he's very attentive and ahead of the rest of the class!" Knowing that information it put a smile your face.
"Well I try to be better than the people who raised me. So that means a lot coming from a teacher, especially as a young parent." He clasped his hands and smiled, "well you obviously have someone to proud of he's a joy to have in class." You mouthed a silent thank you, not wanting to be held up any longer."Milo? Milo, it's time to go-" you were interrupted by him running up to and hugging your leg. "Mommy! Mommy, mommy!" He exclaimed. "Hey baby!" You quickly matched his energy while picking him up. "How was school sweetie? Did you make something for mommy?" He opened a piece of paper that had a drawing on you, him and Tadashi on it, at the top it read "I love my family" you have Milo a kiss on the forehead and a high five. "It was nice meeting you Mr.Sugawara." You waved goodbye and left.
Later
"Ms.L/n, welcome back!" The lady at the reception desk greeted you with a warm smile. "Hey! I'm here too!" Milo jumped up and down to prove his presence. While also managing to take some sweets from the candy bowl. "Well hello there Milo!" The receptionist acknowledge his presence. "The doctor will see you in a minute. In the meantime fill out these papers for Milo's information." You walked into the waiting room, letting Milo play in the play area.
20 mins later
"Milo L/n?" A woman called from a door. "Milo, we gotta go now, we can play later okay?" You grabbed Milo's hand leading him to the doctor's office. The Doctor checked his height, he was 4ft, which is considered tall for a 5 year old. Next they checked his sight and hearing which were all good. But the part you and milo dreaded most, was his blood being drawn.
There has been multiple attempts of ways to get him to calm down such as holding his hand, letting him play on your phone, or even offering candy. Today in particularly you did not want to deal with the screaming, the crying and kicking. So this ONE time you offered to get him a remote controlled car. You had never seen him be more behaved in your entire 5 years of him being your son.
He didn't cry not one bit, to be honest it was like the word cars was like a code word and he was a Sleeper agent. "All done with everything. Milo you were so good this time!"
The doctor handed him a lollipop and he took it and shoved it in his pocket "car!" He said excitedly.After basically being forced to buy your son's new remote controlled car, a piece of you died inside. That hurt your bank account deeply. Being poor was NOT for the weak. With whatever time you had left until your night shift at the store you spent with Milo. Then it was time for the new usual routine. Drop off at Tadashi's, return to work and work for 6 more hours.
"Good afternoon, welcome to Mikasa-mart!" You didn't look up to see who entered until you heard a familiar voice.
"L/n? Is that you?" Your head shot up to only be greeted by your son's grade school teacher. "Wow! Funny seeing you here!" This was his small attempt at making some talk.
"...I work here?" You looked so confused it caused him to feel embarrassed.
"Er- uh how was Milo's appointment?" He tried to recover his embarrassing attempt to create small talk. "It went well, he sure has grown a lot.. he takes well after his dad." You looked at him and smiled. "Do you have a family of your own Mr.Sugawara?"
He looked to the side, "no i don't have a spouse or children, I'd like to consider myself a little young to be having those types of things, considering im only 24." He smiled.
"Well sometimes, things happen.." your mood slightly shifted. You walked yourself right into this one. Sugawara quickly caught on. "L/n, how old were you when you had Milo? I don't mean to pry.." you quickly let him know that it was okay. "Well im 23, he's 5, you can do the math right?" You laughed. "Ah i see, good night l/n". he waved to you goodbye "call me y/n" you smiled.And with that you completed your shift and headed to pick your son up then head home.
End.
