Being an almost eighteen year old dad is hard. Responsibilities are piled sky high and the odds of me being a good dad like mine was to me is quite bleak. But the smile on my baby's face makes me think I'm doing alright.
But along came Bobby...

It's been a week since I started working for Mrs. Jones and she's been taking care of Ky for me during the day. It's been so long since I could take a deep breath and it not feeling putrid with worry. I've tried my best to avoid Bobby Ray and it has worked for the better part of the week-except today. Mr. Jones was returning back from his business trip and Mrs. Jones wanted him to meet us and since it was my day off being Sunday Ky and I were invited to stay the night.
"Daddy? Arwe you ok?" Ky asked tugging my hand. Guess this cloak of darkness I've been lugging around showed itself to Ky.
"Yea baby. I'm just feeling weird sleeping over at the Jones'. " I mumble straightening his shirt.
"Oh? O'tay." he says with a smile.
"Baby? Um are you okay with staying with them? You like Mrs. Jones taking care of you?" I asked pulling him onto my lap. I've been meaning to have this talk with him for so long.
"Yes daddy. Mrs. Jones is really nice an' she teached me stuffs and we color and we watch cartoons all day!" he exclaimed holding his hands wide open.
"Okay baby." I mumble placing Ky on the bed and going to the bathroom to change.
I feel great pulling on my pants. It seems I've put on some weight back because my hip bones aren't jutting out much.
"Ready baby?" Ky claps his hands together and nods all the while scrambling down from the bed.
Just as I hung my back pack filled with our things to stay the night there was a knock on our door. I paid rent already for the month what the hell could our landlord want?
I opened the door a scowl already in place and gasped immediately, my heart made an unhealthy bang against my chest when I saw an equally scowling Bobby Ray on the other side.
"Wh-what are you doing here?" I whispered a bit horrified that he knows where we live and from the look on his face he disapproves as much as me.
"I came to pick you guys up." his scowl was still in place and he kinda glared at me.
