"The weather for today is going to be sunny and hot so make sure to spend as much time outside as possible because tomorrow is going to be rainy and a storm is going to be coming our way, back to you Dwayne" I said signing off. People applauded and smiled gratefully. "Mommy!!!" my son yelled running up to me. "Hi baby" I said catching him in my arms. "Miranda" my ex husband Robert said. I looked at him with pure disgust. "Morning" I said. He nodded and put his hands in his pockets. "Hey buddy I'll see you this weekend, I love you" he said holding out his arms to Trevor. "Bye Daddy" he said hugging him. The dick left and I sat down my 3 year old son on a chair. "How was your weekend" I asked him. "Good" he said smiling with a happy grin. "Is that my little man!!!" Dana yelled running over to us. "Yep dude" he said jumping off the chair and giving Dana a high five. I smiled at them they were so cute. "Well Trev and wegot to go, we'll see you later Dana" I said picking up Trevor. "Bye M I'll see you later bud" he said as we walked out. I buckled my baby in and got into the front seat and drove out of the parking lot. I turned on the radio and Aerosmith began to play. I looked in the rearview mirror and I saw Trevor singing along with Steven Tyler. He banged his little head as the pace quickened. "You're a rockstar bud" I laughed. "Just like Uncle Jess?" he asked. "Exactly like Uncle Jess" I laughed. He smiled widely and clapped. The rest of the ride to our house was filled with us singing. For being a 25 year old single mom I feel like I was doing great. Usually younger single moms have trouble. Not me though I had a great job as a meteorologist at one of the most popular local news stations. I made a steady income and I had a great son who was cute as hell with his blonde hair and big brown eyes and chubby cheeks. There was still something missing and I knew what it was. Someone to love me, not just love me, but to be in love with me. Now I didn't have time to try and find a man. I would have a man if that dick hadn't cheated on me with his secretary. It's like I wasn't good enough. I mean I didn't think there was anything unattractive about me. My dark hair matched my fair complexion perfectly and the few freckles that littered my nose were somewhat cute. My pouty lips looked perfect with dark red lipstick on them and my hazel eyes stood out. It's not like I had baby weight, I got rid of that after 3 weeks. I don't see why I wasn't enough for him. I got Trevor out of his car seat and walked with him inside our 3 bedroom ranch house. We walked inside and Trevor was instantly grabbing his toy skateboard. Look at me mommy!!" he yelled as he skated around the kitchen. "Very good, Uncle Bam would be very proud" I said. He gave me a thumbs up and continued to scoot around. My phone began to buzz at that moment. "Hello" I answered into the phone. "Hey Miranda" I heard Bam say on the other line. "What's up Bam?" I said excitedly. "We haven't talked in awhile and I missed your annoying ass self so I decided to call you" he said. "Ooh what a compliment" I laughed into the phone. "How's Trevor?" Bam asked. "He's great, he's learning to ride that little skateboard you got him" I said. "Hell yes he's gonna go pro!!" Bam yelled into the phone almost blowing my ear drums out. "Yah ok well we both really miss you and Jess and Ape and Phil" I said as I got an apple for Trevor and handed it to him. "Speaking of that. Miranda how would you feel about you and Trevor coming up here for about a month. Just to get away from things. I mean the divorce is final just take some time to get away." he said. "Oh my goodness yes!!! When are we coming?" I asked excitedly. "Well I've already bought the tickets and they're for this Thursday." he said. "Ok great I'll take off some time from work and let Robert know" I said. "Ok I'll talk you later love you" he said. "Love you too Bammy I'll talk to you later" I said as I hung up. I smiled at Trevor and he looked confused. "Guess what Trev?" I said happily. "What?" he asked with a cute little smile on his face. "We're going to visit Uncle Bam and Ape and Phil" I said smiling at him.

"YAH!!!" he yelled and ran out of the kitchen. Laughing I followed him to wherever he ran off to. Eventually I found him in his room with his little Batman suitcase and an armful of underwear. "Babe we're not leaving for a few days" I said. He groaned "Listen Miranda we have to get ready" he said pointing a finger at me. I began to laugh hysterically at him. "Yah yah whatever come on let's go get something to eat" I said picking him up and walking out of his room. He charged after me and I began to make dinner. "Here hon" I said setting a bowl of grape in front of him. "Thank you" he said as he popped one into his mouth. Dinner consisted of pork chops, salad and rice. Trevor ate quickly and sped off to the living room. I turned on the tv for him and he quickly fell asleep. I decided this was my chance to call Robert. Knowing him he wasn't going to take this lightly. "Hey Robert" I said when he answered the phone. "What's up Miranda?" he asked. "Ok so I know this is probably going to piss you off, but just cooperate with me. Bam invited Trevor and I to stay at his place for a month. We're going this Thursday" I said. "What?!? No he's my son too Miranda!!! You can't just do that" he yelled. "Oh whatever, you couldn't care less about either of us when me and you were together, so why in the hell would you care now!!" I whisper yelled at him making sure not to wake my sleeping child. "Listen I know I screwed up, but that doesn't mean I'm not his dad any less and it is not fair that I won't be able to see him for a whole month" he said. "I'm telling you this right now Robert, do not fucking test me. You do not get to make decisions for me. He is my son as well and I didn't object when you took him to DisneyLand with that slut you called a girlfriend. So do not tell me what I can and cannot do with our son. He is excited and I am too so no matter what you say I'm taking him with me." I said sternly. "Please M I can't go a month without seeing my son" he pleaded. "You know what if you're willing you can fly up there in two weeks to pick him up and he'll stay with you until I get back. Rob this is your chance to be a dad don't fuck it up" I said before hanging up. I crawled onto the couch and wrapped Trevor into my arms before falling asleep.
