Nineteen.

September 2nd ; 9:00am

"You have a collect call from Christopher-" I clicked the number one not wanting to hear the annoying automatic voice system. "Baby," I heard him say making my tummy get butterflies. I haven't heard his voice in a month. "Babe! I miss you so fucking much." I said on the verge of tears. "Diddo. I just want to start off by apologizing, it never should've escalated to that. I thought he was trying to get at you again." Chris said sincerely. "It's okay just don't do shit like that especially around Kaden. He saw everything." My small smile faded shortly after telling him. He sighed deeply,  "Where's my little guy?"

"Kaden!" I shouted from our room. I heard him running and he opened the door, walking inside. "Yeah mommy?" "Your dad wants to talk to you," I said handing him the phone. His eyes lit up as he quickly snatched my cellphone and laid it on his ear. The expression on Kaden's face caused me to wrinkled up with eyebrows.

"Hi... no... yes...okay... bye." Kaden simply said handing me back the phone. I took it back placing it back on my ear. "Yeah?" Chris mumbled something then sighed again. "I'll call you another time bye." He hung up right in my face not allowing me to say anything. Whatever him and Kaden were talking about must've really upset Chris. I picked up Kaden sitting him in my lap. "What did daddy say to you KJ?" I asked playing with curly hair. He laid his had on my stomach sighing. "I said yes when daddy ask me am I mad at him." "You're still mad?" Kaden shrugged his shoulders.

I jumped into the air, falling right on my butt. Kaden and I were on the trampoline out in the backyard. I wanted to just take my off Christopher for a minute. I didn't even get to ask about his case or how long he'll be in there. Recently Lynn informed me that his tour has been canceled into further notice. He has to pay for his actions and as for Cameron? He's already moved to Florida without calling nor texting me. It's all good.

"Mommy lets play popcorn!" Kaden cheered sitting indian style. "Alright don't fall off!" I giggled before lightly jumping around him. He bounced up and down laughing hysterically. I couldn't help but smile. These are the moments that make my day, seeing my son smile. He's the best thing that's ever happened to me. "My turn mommy!" Kaden said gesturing for me to sit down. I did just that placing my hands in my lap. He began jumping as hard as he could to make me pop. I knew I was too big so I began pretending. "Woah Kaden!" I exclaimed laughing.

We played for another twenty minutes and went inside. The weather started to drop and I didn't want either of us to get sick. Kaden sat up on the counter while I began to prepare us something to eat. Brooke and Aaliyah were at aunt kim's house. I honestly didn't want to go over there for a lecture so I stayed right here. I'm not ready to talk to her right now. "Mommy can we eat uh.. ham.. burger thingy?" "Hamburger helper?" I inquired looking back at him. He nodded vigorously before smiling. "Okay, you wanna help mommy cook?"

I grabbed a chair for Kaden to stand in for him to reach then stove. I cut the temp down for safety. "Pour the noodles in that water," I instructed handing him the box. He slowly poured it in watching each noodle pop in. "Look!" Kaden pointed. "Good job babe go get me the blue cleaning bottle. This counter is dirty." I say stirring the noodles. He nods and jumps off the chair, making his way over to the lower cabinets.

"Kaden what's taking so long?" I turned around, dropped the spoon, rushing over to him. He laid on the ground with his eyes closed. "Kaden!" I yelled on the verge of tears shaking his arm. He didn't budge nor open his eyes. I felt his pulse and looked over at the bottle of bleach. Oh no....
