After the barbecue I go home. My mom's car is in the driveway and I instantly get excited. I can't wait to tell her. I run through the door and see her sitting in her usual chair watching her usual show.
"Mom I have a girlfriend!" I say excitedly. Mom pauses her show and looks up at me.
"Well come sit down and tell me about her!"
I take a spot on the couch and go on and on about how perfect and beautiful and smart she is. My mom is a great listener and lets me talk, occasionally asking questions. After I finish talking I realized I never really stopped to breathe. I try and catch my breath and my mom laughs.
"She sounds amazing, sweetie. So when do I get to meet her?" Mom asks.
"I'll give that a minute," I say teasing her.
"Why?!? I'm a friendly person!" she says laughing
"Yeah but you always show the most embarrassing baby pictures!" I say back
"OH my bad, I thought you didn't get embarrassed!" I gasp
"Don't use my words against me!"
   Later that night I get a text from Tye saying she misses me. I immediately text back saying I'm on my way, as a joke. When she responds she asks if I really would. It was an easy answer, of course I would.
   "Pack an overnight bag, cutie. Mommy wants you here," when I see the text I feel myself blush. I jump out of bed and grab an empty backpack. I Skype Aaron and tell him about the current situation.
   "She's in mommyspace. This is huge!" he yells.
   "I know! What should I bring?" I ask.
"Essentials! Get the super cute onesie with those sleepy bears, the matching yellow bottle, and a pair of white training pants. Also a stuffie!" he says. As he speaks I'm running around my room collecting the stuff.
   "Okay got it!" I shove everything into the backpack.
   "And don't forget a paci!" he yells. I scoff
   "Do I look like a beginner?" I say using a proper voice. Aaron sticks his tongue out and I laugh.
   We hang up and I shove my white paci and my stuffie and in my backpack and head downstairs

   When I pull into Tye's apartment parking lot and I instantly get the jitters. I take a deep breathe and ring her door. She buzzes me in and the walk seems forever. I come to her door and I see Tye's warm smile. My anxiety instantly vanishes.
   Her apartment itself looks like its a page from a magazine. I knew interpretors get paid a lot but actually seeing the money in action was crazy.
   "Wow," I say. She giggles.
   "Home design is a hobby of mine," she says flopping on the white couch. I take a seat next to her and smile big.
   "Hi," I say shyly. she giggles again.
   "Hey cutie pie," she says putting her arm around me. I reach into my bag and pull out my paci. I put it in my mouth then cuddle mommy. She puts her arm around me and rubs my back.
   "What a cute little boy," she says softly. I wiggle in her arms.
   "So I was talking to Aaron and he told me to give you a set of rules. Like somethings to make sure my baby is healthy and happy, wanna hear your rules?" I nod and look up at her.
   "Okay first of all eat twice a day. I don't want my bean being hungry. Second don't swear if you feel small. Third shower 5 times a week. Fourth if you feel sad or angry talk to mommy about it. Fifth brush your teeth once a day. Sixth bedtime is at 10:30 on weekdays and 12 on weekends, is that okay baby?" she asks.
   "Yes ma'am," I say respectfully.
   "No need for that baby, mommy is fine,"
    "Okay mama!" I say excitedly. Mommy checks the time.
   "Its 10:00 right now so how bout we get you ready for bed then we can rent a movie, that sound good to you?" she asks. I sit up straight and nod.
   "Show mommy what you brought to wear tonight," she says. I open my backpack and showe her my clothes, stuffie, and bottle.
   "My teddy's name is Mr.Cuddles! He's my bestest friend!" I say giving him a hug. Tye grabs my clothes and takes my hand.
   "Bath time!" Mama says. I follow her to the bathroom and she starts filling up the tub. I see her put in bubble bath solution and toys. It makes me wonder how long she's been planning this.
   I attempt to pull my shirt over my head but I get stuck and start panicking. Tye turns around and helps me out.
   "Its okay little one, mommy will help you," she pulls the shirt over my head and I can breathe again. She undresses me and then helps me into the tub. I immediately start playing with the little toy boat in front of me.
   "Mama look! The boat is traveling through the bubble sea!" I say. Tye chuckles as she washes my hair
   "But then, a rubber ducky crosses their path!" I slam the rubber ducky into the boat and the boat sinks underwater.
   "Tilt your head back sweetie,' mama says. She washes the shampoo out of my hair. It smells like apples.
   I play for a little while longer(and splash Tye a few times) then get out. She dries me off and dresses me.
   "There's my little baby! You ready to go find a movie?" Tye says with excitement. I nod happily and she leads me to her room. She pulls up Netflix kids and we look through are options.
   "Pooh!" I say pointing.
   "You wanna watch Winnie the Pooh?" she asks me. I nod vigorously and she turns it on.
   "I can't believe I forgot! I'm gonna fill your bottle, is mint tea okay?" she asks.
   "Yes mommy," I say. She walks off and I immediately miss her. I hug Mr.Cuddles tightly and watch Winnie. When mommy comes back she bottle feeds me. The warm drink has me falling asleep in no time. I finish my bottle and rub my eyes.
   "Are you sleepy?" Tye asks. I nod and cuddle up to her. She pulls the blankets over us and turn off the movie.
   "Goodnight my little prince, mommy will be here when you wake up," and with that I drift off to sleep.
