He's My Son

Chapter 1

A beautiful spring day in Atlanta, Michelle decided to take Drew to the park. It was her day off, she didn't take Drew to school so they could spend the whole day together. They spent every single day together, but still Michelle loved her son so much, that she didn't want to do anything else but spend time with him. Drew ran around the park like a mad man, after being stuck inside all winter, he was happy to have nice weather and couldn't wait to rub it in everyone's face tomorrow at school that his mommy took him to the park. He ran to the swings and screamed to Michelle.

"Mommy come push me! Pwease"

"Okay I'm coming sweetie."

Drew laughed while his mom pushed him. Michelle smiled at how happy Drew was, but she felt someone was watching them and she knew that feeling very well. She went all through high school with that creepy feeling of eyes on you. But she didn't notice anyone so she ignored it and focused on Drew. And she wasn't wrong, there was someone watching them from afar, but not too far. It was Pattie M, yes Justin's mom. She noticed Drew as soon as he got into the park. The way he laughed, the way he smiled, his hair, his face, she saw her son in that little boy. She so wanted to be a grandma, everytime she sees a little blonde boy, she thinks about what could have been and finds herself watching them and their families smile. But this little boy she couldn't ignore, he looked too much like Justin and the woman with him, she had never seen her before and didn't think that Justin knew her. But something told her that she had to do something....she couldn't ignore the resemblense. Pattie got up and walked to her car, she took one last look at them. She saw the little boy sitting on the swing kicking his feet, trying to get the swing to move. His mother was sitting on the swing next to him and when she tried to push him he shooed her away. He wanted to do it all by himself, his mother smiled at how determined he was. Before Pattie realized what was going on, she was walking over
to them.

"Hi, I'm Pattie. I know this sounds strange but I feel like I've seen you before and I would really like to know from where or it'll bother me forever."

"Oh I know how you feel, I used to be like that as a teenager and watches movies with actors I've seen before but didn't know where. But I don't think we've met before, I'm Michelle."

"Nice to meet you Michelle, but are you sure cause you look so famil-"

Before Pattie could finish Drew jumped out of the swing and went to her.

"Mommy's famous that why you know her. She's Michelle Reed, she takes picture for those shiny covered books, and sometimes she's in them too cause she's so pretty."

"Aww thank you sweetie."

Michelle kissed Drew's cheek. Pattie couldn't help but smile at how adorable this little boy was. Drew walked up to her and looked up at her holding out his hand.

"I'm Drew nwice to meet you."

"I'm Pattie, nice to meet you too Drew. He's so cute and so polite. You did a good job on him. Well it was nice meeting you two, but I should get going. Sorry too bother you, I just had to know where I had seen you before"

"Thank you very much. It was nice meeting you too, and it wasn't a bother at all. Hope to see you again, bye."

Pattie waved goodbye and walked to her car. She drove away from the park and drove...to Justin's house...Something inside was telling her that she had to let him know about this.

"What?!? Mom are you sure you're ok?"

Pattie told Justin everything about her day. She told him about Michelle and how Drew looked way too much like him. But Justin had never met Michelle before in his life. So he thought that Pattie had finally lost it. Sure Justin always wanted a son, but he never had one, he would never forget an important detail like that.

"Look I know it sounds crazy, but that boy looks so much like you. And he acts like you the way he laughs and everything. I only spent a few minutes with them but I saw so much of you in him."

"Mom I don't know what to say to that. I've heard of Michelle Reed, she's a great photographer, but that's all I know of her, I've never met her and I don't know what she looks like at all. I highly doubt her son could look anything like me."

"Uhhh I know...just please could you at least see him, just once. I know its a lot to ask and it doesn't make any sense to, but I feel like you should."

"Fine I'll look for this Michelle Reed and see what I can do, if it'll make you happy."

So that's what Justin did, he looked Michelle up and found that she lived in Atlanta. So the next day he decided to see if he could get a look at Drew. He went to the school and found the class he was in. It was the end of the day so Justin thought that if he got lucky he would find Michelle picking Drew up. He walked through the halls looking at the cute finger painting that we hung up. He got to Drew's class, Ms. Brandlen and knocked on the door. A young looking blonde woman opened the door.

"Yes may I help you?"

"Yes, Ms. Brandlen, I'm Justin and I was hoping I could see Drew Reed please."

"Sorry I can't do that."

"Ms. Brandlen I don't think you understand-"

"No I don't and neither do you. I'm a teacher I'm responsible for these kids. I can't let some random stranger come to see the kids. Unless you have a note from his mother telling me you can see him or she calls me I can't do that. And I know for a fact she wouldn't forget to if you were, Michelle never forgets anything about Drew and I know you aren't his father since he and Michelle aren't together anymore."

This Ms. Brandlen was one strict lady, but really she just took her job seriously. She loved her job and didn't want anything to happen to the kids. Plus Michelle was a good friend, if she let anything happen to Drew she would die. Justin was shocked at how serious this woman was and he was shocked to hear that Michelle wasn't married or with anyone. Before he could respond he saw a little by run up to Ms. Brandlen.

"Ms.B is my mommy here yet? I thought I heard you say her name."

Drew frowned when he saw that he's mom wasn't there. Justin's looked down at him and his eyes widened, this boy did look like him...a lot like him. Justin felt as if he was looking at one of his baby pictures.

"No Drew your mommy isn't here yet but she'll be here soon don't worry, go play if you want. Justin this is Drew Reed, now you got to see him."

Drew looked up at Justin and smiled. He stuck out his hand.

"You're the guys from all those movies. Nwice to meet you, I'm Drew."

"Hi Drew, yes I guess that me. I'm Justin nice to meet you too buddy."

Before either of them could say anything, Ms. Brandlen spoke.

"Look Drew here comes your mom and she's running without her shoes....again."

Drew got all excited, "Mommy!" He ran back inside and got his back pack. Justin turned to where Ms. Brandlen was pointing.
There was Michelle running in her shirt with heels in her hand and her hair in a braid to the side. His heart stopped the moment he saw her, well maybe it stopped cause he didn't feel it beating anymore. He definitely had no memory of her, he had never seen such a beautiful woman, let alone had slept with her and produced a child. But he sure wish he had! ;)
