Forever

Chapter Twenty-Two

Haley's POV

I was in my room watching tv when I heard someone knocking on my door.

Me: Come in.

My door opened only to see my three year old brother Shaun standing at the doorway with his teddy bear in his hands holding it tight. Shaun is not just my little brother, he's my baby, I love that boy to death and I don't know what I would do without him. He walked over to my bed.

Shaun: Mommy, can I sleep in here with you?

He calls me mommy cause our mom is never home to take care of us, either she's at work or she's out with her stupid boyfriend named Victor. My mom was pregnant with Shaun when my dad walked out on us, my dad knows about him and he loves Shaun and he sends me and his money down here and Shaun actually look a little like my dad.

Me: Come here baby.

Shaun got into my bed and sat right in my lap and watched tv with me, ever since my mom met Victor,she forgot all about us so I watch over Shaun. I make sure he's taken care of, I take him to school, I make sure he has clothes on his back and I make sure he has some food in his stomach. Our mom don't do none of that shit, all she care about is her job and Victor. She says she does care about us, but she sure don't act like it, it's all about Victor. "Victor this" and "Victor that", what about us, we're your children, we need her but it's like she only want Victor. When my mom had Shaun, Victor wanted her to have an abortion since he wasn't his and she was going to do it until I said something. Me and Victor had an arguement over it but I won it and ever since then, I've been taking care of him,he's been my little baby boy and I don't want to trade him for anything in the world. We continued to watch tv when I heard his little tummy growl.

Me: Is my baby boy hungry?

Shaun: Yes mommy.

Me: How about we go fix something to eat?

Shaun: Can Mr.Wiggles come with us?

Me:-laughs- Yes, Mr. Wiggles can come with us.

Shaun: Yayy!!

I started laughing at him as I picked him up and walked downstairs to the kitchen. I gave Shaun Mr. Wiggles when he was one years old, and he just loves that bear. I sat Shaun down on the counter and looked in the fridge.

Me: What do you want to eat?

Shaun: Chicken noodle soup.

Me: Ok.

I closed the fridge door, and looked in the cabinet and grabbed the can of chicken noodle soup. I grabbed a pot and set it on the stove as I cut it on, I poured the soup in the pot and waited. My phone started ringing, I picked it up to see D was calling me, I pressed the answer button and put the phone up to my ear.

Phone Conv.

Me: Hello.

Dominique: Hey Hal.

Me: Hey boo, what's wrong, you sound sleepy.

Dominique: I just woke up from a nap.

Me: True.

Dominique: What you up to?

Me: Oh nothing, just fixing me and Shaun some chicken noodle soup.

Dominique: Aww, tell Shaun I said hey.

Me: Shaun, D said hey.

Shaun: Hey Nique.
