The King, His Queen, and Princess

Every morning starts the same. I sit on my bed looking down at the most beautiful little girl I've ever seen. My baby, Alessa the one who owns my heart and changed my life for the better. Without my darling, I wouldn't be the strong-willed woman I am today.

I was only 18 when I had her which was pretty hard to handle even though I was very mature for my age. I had to drop out of my first year of college and become a single mother. I knew from then on my life was never going to be the same but I was fine with accepting that. There was no way in hell that I was going to abort and kill an innocent being for my mistake so I kept her. She is the love of my life and I am beyond grateful that she is mine.

"Momma?" I hear her small voice and my eyes snap down to her small form under her princess sheets. I pick her up and place her in my lap, running my hands through her hair soothingly and whispering to her about how much I love her.

"Do you want to cuddle with me?" I ask and she nods softly. I stood up with her in my arms and walked to my side of the bed and laid down.

Currently, we are living on the first floor of a cheap apartment building in the slums of San Diego, California. It is not a safe area but it is all I could afford for now, at least.

Ever since I got pregnant with her I never saw her father again. After our heated sex, I gave him my number but he never called. I spent my entire pregnancy searching for him but nobody would tell me where he was. After Alessa was born, I gave up searching for her father. His name is Alessandro Fucchiano and he is one sexy Italian motherfucker. He not only took my virginity, but he also gave me the best gift in the world.

All I want is for my baby girl to have her father and for us to be in a safe & better living situation. I trust in God and I know soon we will be in a better place.

I pull her into my chest while she cuddles closer to me and sighs sleepily before sticking her small thumb into her mouth. I close my eyes and listen to her small breaths which only made my heart flutter. I kiss her forehead and feel myself becoming succumbed by sleep.

"Momma! Momma, wake up!" I hear giggles as a small frame jumps up and down on my stomach causing me to groan. I grab the little monster and pull her down so she can lie next to me.

"Aly, what's got you so excited?" I groan again and she giggles loudly.

"It's morning Momma! Time for school and work!" She says and I shoot up from the bed.

"What time is it?" I shriek but when I look down at the alarm it shows that it's 6:30 AM. Just in time.

"Come on, darling, time to get ready." I stand up from the bed letting out a loud yawn and stretch my arms and back. I fix the bed real quick before I pick Alessa up and place her on my hip. I put her to stand on the toilet and grabbed my blue Oral-B toothbrush and her pink princess one. I squeezed some toothpaste on both and then I sang our special teeth-brushing song.

"Brush in the front. Brush in the back. Brush up top and brush down down. Brush to the left and brush to the right. Make those pearly teeth shine bright!" I sing as we brush our teeth. Toothpaste gets all over my chin but it's so worth hearing my baby girl's giggles as she properly brushes her teeth.
