Coming Back

Grocery Run ins

Ring Ring!  I wake up to my cell phone ringing. I glance at it to see my friend Abagail has texted me:

Abagail: Hey girlie so I have the food ready. If you want to come over, and also grab some chocolate milk. ;)

Me: Okay me, and  Alexandru will be there. ;)

Grabbing my cell phone I get ready for the day. Putting on a dark blue sun dress. Then I brush out my straight black hair. Adding some eye liner, and mascara to make my blue eyes pop.

I then go to the next room over, and see my son Alexandru laying there. He has dark black hair along with tan skin and Green eyes. He looks just like his father. I gently wake him up, and get him dressed.

He is wearing a dark green shirt with pants. His hair is pulled back to look neat. Although knowing his hair it will puff up soon in the car.

 Last but not least I check my refrigerator which has Alexandru's drawings all over, and pictures.

Looking inside I don't see any chocolate milk. We must have run out. Seeing my phone I text Abagail.

Me: Hey we will be there soon I am just going to get some chocolate milk.

Once the text goes through I grab my car eyes for my 1996 Volvo, and then I grab my purse. Making sure I have everything I lock up the house we are in.

Opening the car door, and getting Alexandru situated in his seat we begin our drive. Turning on some music we can listen to. I find Used to be, so I played that one. Knowing that my son likes it.

I can hear him singing along with the song. A smile lights up my face seeing him. Even if he reminds me of his father.

Finally we reach the grocery store. Grabbing my sons hands we begin getting the milk. For our breakfast with Abagail.

"Mommy  can we please get this?" My son says looking up I see him holding up a pair of figure skates. I figured that this would happen.

Looking at him I can tell he really wants to be closer to his father. He always skated with  black colored skates. Seeing a pair I grab them saying "These are what Daddy used to wear."

Grabbing my hands we continue on with our search for chocolate milk. Seeing them I go up and grab a container looking it over. He gets his obsession of chocolate milk from me. Looking at the date one more time I turn thinking I will see him.

He is not there though. My son isn't there. My heart starts to beat crazily trying to find him. I am asking everyone if they have seen him. Nothing yet I can feel the tears coming to my eyes.

I feel a hand on my shoulder. Turning around I see the last person I thought would be here. Phichit stands there a man i had broken up with five years ago. Holding my son in his arms.

After hugging Alexandru for a while, and reprimanding him about leaving me I say to Phichit "Thank you for bring him back to me." He smiles and its the one i loved so much. Well this is awkward.

He says "No problem you have a very cute son." I smile at him. He is right my son is very nice looking.

"How old is he." Phichit asks. My heart stops for a moment. Oh no he has figured it out. Taking one look at his son would help him.

My throat clogs up as I say " He is four years old." I tell him. I can see him thinking about the math. Confirming what he is thinking to himself. Suddenly Yuuri shows up. He is an old friend of Phichits and I guess mine.

"Hello Clary its been a while." Yuuri says while taking in the situation. He says something to Phichit then he leaves. Great all I wanted was some chocolate milk.

Phichit turns to me then he says "Lets go some where to talk about this." Grabbing my son i check out then He leads me to a small park.

Alexandru is very excited about this. He runs to go play while a tense air hangs around us. Looking at my son slide and swing. He is so cute.

"Were you ever going to tell me?" He asks while looking at me. I remember the day i found out i was pregnant. It was when we were in college. There was a party and anyway  nerves were flying off as I waited for that stick.

"I thought that having a kid would keep you from doing what you love." I say remembering when I was going to tell him.

We were at a restaurant both dressed nicely. Phichit was telling me about how great practice had gone. He had this twinkle in his eyes, and he looked very happy. When it hit me that telling him this would stop his dreams.

He would have to quit college, and forget his dream. I just couldn't do that to him. So I broke up with him, and I left school to raise my son. 

Phichit looks so surprised then he says "Give me your number." I look at him in surprise.

"I am not leaving until we get something figured out." He said while  handing over his phone. So I put my number and my contact information in there. Putting my name down as Alexandru. Then I take a photo of my son.

Running around the playground. He smiles then he stands up and says "I will be in touch to meet my son."

Standing up I say "You can see him, but I don't want you to tell him who you are yet. This is the first time he is meeting you, and I want to make sure you stick around."

He looks very angry at what I just said. "I am not the one who didn't tell me! This is your fault to." Then he storms away.
