I felt the sunlight struck my face and I knew that it was time to get up. Then I heard a knock on my door, which was sooner opened by my son, Milo.

"Mommy, its nearly noon and we have to get dressed. Granny is in downstairs." He said while pouting giving me a puppy look.

Oh yeah, I totally forgot my parents. Today, we will having lunch together with dad. I smiled at the thought.

"Okaaay okay, mister. Mommy will get dressed." I rumpled his hair and pinch his chubby cheeks. He grinned and run away.

It's been 3 years since Milo was born. A freaking years that without his idiotic father I raised him up so well and of course with the help of mum and dad. Not that I mind, but everytime we could go to park or mall and he saw kids at his age in their father's arm he would look down and a sad visible in his cute face. I know he would wonder why he didn't have one. He never asked me why which was I felt relieved because I don't want to talk about it either. Thank goodness, there is Caleb who stands and act as a fatherly love to him.

Yeah. I forgot Caleb. He's my best friend for the past 3 years. I never forget how he help me and Milo to go through this. Caleb is Milo's everything now I mean Milo's contented on what we have. He might replace the real father of my son but I didn't bother as long as milo's happy.

Milo looks very similar to his father. Its almost scary seeing him everyday reminds me of his great father. He has his father's hair which is blonde. His eyes are same as him also. Which is blue eyes and mine are hazel. That's it and I would not rather let him see pictures of his idiotic father.

Since he is everywhere, I heard him last year in interviews, magazines, tv and that he had multiple girls to slept with. But I didn't care enough. I didn't care if he might get pregnant one of those. Heck, I don't care.

Yeah, he's living life to the fullest now. From what I'd heard he inherit his father's company. He's busy, that he didn't even bother to check on me, on us after what happened. Like I was really nothing to him.  I don't blame him though after all he is the CEO of Lincoln Corporation. The pressure from running a business is a such a huge responsibility.

If he only knows he has a son.

After, I filed the divorced papers I immediately walked away. I still remember that day he was trying to talk to me. But what for?

Ever since I had Milo, life is worth living for. I must say I was stupid that time begging for mercy of his father. But who am I or the question is how dare he?

I work so hard and I get a job that pays well for me. And that's the time, I met Caleb. He offers me a job to cook for the nearby diner- Nados. At first, I hesitated because I really dont know what I am capable of. But days pass by, I learned how to cook and to became a part time waitress as well. I don't mind being waitress that much. I thank him enough for everything he had done to me and Milo.

"Oh, Tate sweetie. Thank goodness are you busy? What took you so long." I heard mum's worried voice once I entered the kitchen. She has icing on her nose its evident they bake a cake with Milo of course.

"Hi, mom" I smile and greeted her with my warm hug.

She smiled and hugged me back.

"You okay?" She asked.

I nodded.

"How was work?"

I shrugged.

"I love you, Tate" she sighed and caress my cheeks.

"Look Tate it's been three years now and all you're sacrifices fall into right places. You always remember you have me, you're father and Milo. We always love you."

Oh yes. The past can hurt. But you can either hurt from it or learn with it.

"I know, love you too mom" I sobbed. I don't know why but I'm emotional when my mom is around. I just miss her.

"Momma are you crying?" Milo asked.

I snapped away from my drama and instantly wipe my wet cheeks.

"Is everything alright?"

I look at him and I grinned. My dad carries Milo's in his arms protectively.

"Hey dad!" I shout.

He hug me with all his might. Not just an ordinary hug.. but more on a bone crushing hug.

I choked. Knowing I'm a daddy's girl my mum chuckled behind us.

"Don't you think I'm a little old for this?" I teased feeling 4 years old again.

"Hello darling. And nope, you will always be my little girl, my little Tate." He kissed my forehead.

"I'm better than good." I grinned.

He chuckled. I rolled my eyes. I always had a great relationship with dad.

Thankfully, my parents is always at my side. They help me to go through this. Mom does blame herself for marrying their only child to an arrogant jerk and dad..well dad, he's way angry when he found out. He even threatened his parents and Milo's father but I just let it slide because I don't blame him. Milo's father deserves all the hate in this world. He doesn't even deserve to be love.

His parents said apologizes when they found out. They told us their son got a wrong move. Yeah very wrong move, I thought. His parents was so nice to me. When I was at Milo's age, they always look after me aside from mum and dad. They are my second parents. That's the time we became best friends.

Until, I can't stand seeing him. If ever I see that piece of shit again, I would pretend I never knew him at first place.

"Do you have any root beers, sweetie?" dad asked while sipping the last of her drink.

Mom was the one to answer for me. "She doesn't."

Dad frowned and mom smirks.

I laughed. "Yes, I do have dad. Knowing you will be here. I put it in the fridge."

My mom glared at me.

Even so I could not wipe the smile off my face. I was contented, surrounded by people who I love and care about. My parents, my handsome little man and a cake in front of me. Who wouldn't be happy?
