I'm Raising My Bestfriend's Child

Think

I said my goodbyes to Levi and Shaniqua, and dropped Lui off at his house. Aiden had fallen asleep in the back, about two minutes after I got him strapped in the car. I carefully and quietly in-buckled him, then took him inside, "Crap," I said, "He needs to take a bath tonight." I sighed and began to gently wake him up, "Mhh.." He mumbled, "C'mon Aiden, you need to take a bath, then you can go to sleep," He sleepily open his eyes and nodded. I walked to the bathroom and took off his clothes then put him in the tub. He was still half asleep when I began to wash his hair. I softly massaged his scalp, working in the shampoo. After a few more minutes of cleaning the steak seasoning, and potatoes off his little hands, I was done. "Okay, Aiden" My sentence was interrupted by a yawn, "Get your pajamas." He went over to his cubby that said,"Halloween  costumes'  by accident,(for it was right under his pajama cubby) and put on an old tiger onesie, that was way  too small, and climbed in his bed. Too tired to care, I went on to bed. 

While a was laying in my bed, a thought came to my mind; if I wanted to have a kid of my own could I? Aiden never asked who his father was, which is one of my worst fears. What would I tell him? I could never  tell him that his father ran away, or that I'm not his real  mother, and his real mother died. The only thing I could think about was little happy Aiden would be so depressed after hearing all that bad news. Or maybe he would be mad at me  for not telling him earlier. I have no idea what to do. I let out a heavy sigh, and rolled over. I stared at my ceiling fan, going round and round, I never turned it off, it just kept going round, never quitting. I was lost in a deep thought, when my phone made a noise, it was from Lui texting me, "Did you enjoy the night??" I  thought for a moment, my frown was replaced with a smirk. I did enjoy the night. Shaniqua was nice, and loved Aiden. Levi was fantastically nice. I don't think I've seen Aiden laugh so hard. "Yeah" I fell asleep texting Lui.

I woke up before my alarm went off, and got up Aiden. He got ready by himself, while I got ready in my room. He knocked on my door, I already had clothes on so, I let him in. I started to brush my teeth, he copied me with his tiny toothbrush, like always. I picked him up, gave him a kiss on the cheek, and walked into the kitchen. "Pancakes! Mommy, Pancakes!" He excitedly called out, I nodded. He sat down the counter, and watched me make the batter, and slap it on the hot griddle. I turned on the radio, and Ice Ice Baby was on, Aiden laughed, "What, you've never heard this song?" I flipped the pancakes, "No, mommy, I'm not a gillion-years-old!" I put the pancakes, on a plate and started to dance around. "Bumper to bumper the avenues packed tryin' to get away before the jackers  jacked!" Lui knocked on the door, I didn't hear him, he let himself in and saw me dancing, and Aiden die-laughing. He startled me when he cried out "If there was a problem, yo' I'll solve check out the hook while the DJ revolves it!"

Another old song came on...

And Lui an I started dancing together, "I like big butts, and can not lie!"  Lui screamed, "Baby got back! L.A face with an Oakland booty! L.A face with an Oakland booty!" The song went off, and Aiden was of course, still laughing.
