{Family Dollar}

I decided to get him a few dollar toys and right now we were roaming the aisles together. A cute chocolate girl pulled up beside me with a little girl at her hip.

"Can I have him?" He asked pointing at a ninja with an all black robe on and a red belt. I nodded.

"We getting stuff for you Pooda. You can get whatever you want. At any price." I said to him. I knew she had to be earhustling cause her and her bucket had moved closer while she messed with some baby dolls.

"Aleah too? Can baby Aleah get a baby toy too?" He asked excitedly. I smiled down at the joy in his eyes.

"Yeah. Aleah too." I answered. He bolted off down the aisle for the baby toys and I chuckled when he used his manners after bumping into the Lil girl around his age. He helped her up and they began to talk about toys. So many toys!! Lol.

"You must be the daddy. He looks like you. He has really pretty eyes by the way. Kinda reminds me of someone a little." The mom of the girl said up at me smiling with her pearly whites. I smiled back. I was about to tell her that he was indeed my son, but I was 'mommy' then waved it off as she went on.

"Your a good dad. I wish Nikita's dad was in her life like you're in your son's, but he walked out on us after he found pit about her. Divorced my ass too. Said he didn't signup for no baby. He wanted me to abort her if I wanted to stay with him. Fvck I look like killing a new life?" She said angrily. Then tears left her eyes and I could see it had been a long time since she let herself think about it or him. I felt bad for her so I rubbed her back. I couldn't think of anything else.

"Yeah, there's people like that. You did good though. Raising her on your own and all." I complemented with a small smile as they played. School shouldn't be a problem with him.

"I know and thanks. Leon's not half the man you are." She said biting her lip at me. I removed my hand from her back nervously. He's more of a man than you know. I frowned.

"Wait, who you say his name was?" I asked her curiously. That name sounded so familiar. Too familiar. I'm praying he don't have the same last name as him either.

"Uh, Leon? Leon Day." She answered with confusion sitting on her face. She was tryna see where I was going with this, but I ain't say nothing more as my heart began to race. Its him.

He marrying people then devorcing them before or after they get pregnant. She's proof. But why??

"Can I have your number?" I asked her smoothly changing my tone. She smirks and nodded. I hand her my phone and she handed me hers.

"Thanks.. Tiara. I appreciate the talk. You can call me whenever you want Nikita and Tristan to hangout at the playground or.. Something." I laughed. She smiled and nodded.

"You welcome and OK." She said. Nikita and Tristan ran up to us loaded with toys.

Tristan has that Ninja, a toolbelt and a baby rattle for Aleah. Thoughtful. I don't think Candy remembered a teether at all.

Nikita had a sh!t load of stuff and her mama looked stuck between a rock and a hard place if she should say no to Lol of them. While Tiara was battling in her head, I pulled her cart to me.

"Drop it in there Nikita. You too Tristan." I said smiling at them. They looked relieved, but Tiara frowned

"No, you don't-"

"Its cool. I'll pay for it. We'll just have to separate it when we're done won't we?" I said to her. She began to protest, but shut up about it as they dropped their belongings in the basket and we rolled to the register.
