chapter two

Alesha

"Do you mind if I breastfeed my son, Alesha?" Amanda asked and she got out the scarf that she most likely used to cover herself whenever I breastfed in public. I shook her head no and she arranged the scarf over Theo and her chest. She unbuttoned her shirt underneath the scarf and moved her nursing bra out of the way. Theo latched onto her and he began to feed. Amanda smiled when her son latched onto her and she looked down at him.

"When was he born?" I asked, grinning when I saw her smile when Theo latched on.

"Two months ago. We need to have a proper catch up, Alesha, not just you being my daughter's first year teacher," Amanda replied.

"Do you want to go out for coffee, maybe on Saturday?" I questioned, shutting my laptop so we could talk about Lexi, which is what we had originally going to do.

"Sure. I would love to," Amanda replied.

Amanda had changed so much since the last time we had seen each other when we had been in uni. She had gotten pregnant sometime shortly after we had broken up and got pregnant again last year. She clearly wasn't married yet as she hadn't been wearing a ring when we were talking about her daughter, Lexi. I knew that Amanda had to drop out of uni and the education program at uni when she had gotten pregnant because she wouldn't be able to complete her education. I had no idea as to what she was doing now for her living but she wasn't working now because of her two month old son.

Her body had changed even more when I saw her in my first year classroom. She was no longer petite in size and she had curves. Her hips had gotten larger from giving birth twice and her breasts were larger from breastfeeding her two month old. It took all of my willpower not to look at Amanda's cleavage as it was more than it had been when we dated. Somehow she was even prettier than she had been when we were dating. Her hair seemed thicker, although I couldn't feel it, and her eyes seemed to shine whenever she looked at her children.

Amanda was definitely a dedicated mother to her two kids. I was so tempted to tell her that I wanted to start our relationship over in my classroom but I couldn't so I asked her if she would get coffee with me. We exchanged phone numbers as we both had deleted each other's contacts in our phones when we had broken up.

I didn't tell Amanda that I had given birth myself to a little girl, Azura, who was now three years old and a handful. I wanted children ever since I was a teenager and I knew I wanted to be a mother. The only way that I was going to be a mother with my sexuality was to be artificially inseminated.

The insemination worked and I got pregnant with my daughter. My friends and family were supportive of me and still were. I had lived with my parents while I was searching for a job and pregnant at the same time. I stayed with them until I had a job and could rent my own apartment for me and my daughter to live in.

I loved the fact that I was a mother now but Azura still wasn't out of her terrible twos and she was three. She could throw a massive temper tantrum when something didn't go her way or she didn't get something that she wanted.

"Mummy!" Azura called when she saw me come into the front door of our apartment. I had my friend, David, watch her while I was meeting the parents of my new students individually. Today was the last day of meeting those students so tomorrow I wouldn't need David to watch my daughter.

"Hey," David called from the living room. I went into the room and he was seated on the couch with a game controller in his hands. It looked as though Azura had convinced him to play one of the education games I had bought for her when we had gotten the X- Box.

Azura lifted up her arms and I picked her up. "Hi, baby girl. Were you good for David today?"

"Yeah! I was a good girl and I went to the potty all by myself today!" Azura crowed. She was clearly proud of her accomplishment and wanting a reward.

"Did she use a nappy at all today?" I asked David.

"Only once and that's because we didn't make it to the loo in time," David replied. He put the X-Box controller down on the couch and he got up, pulling his jeans up. "She was really good though."

"You were a good girl then!" I said to Azura. "I'll let you have ice cream then tonight."

I always rewarded Azura if she was good for her babysitters and if she went to the bathroom by herself without assistance from someone. I was trying to potty train her over the summer so she would be potty trained for when she went to nursery.

"Are you sure you don't want payment, David" I asked, pulling my wallet out of my purse and getting out a few bills.

"I'm sure, 'Lesha. You don't have to pay me. I am Azura's birth father after all," David replied. David was Azura's sperm donor as I had asked him if he would donate sperm for me to use when I wanted to get pregnant. He did it and he was listed on Azura's birth certificate as her birth father. David was Azura's regular babysitter as he worked on the weekends and every other day working at home for a tech firm which meant he could spend a lot of time with me and Azura.

"Fine," I replied. "But I'm paying you next time, David!"

[] hey guys! Today I'm going on my first date ever with a guy I really like. We're going to see a movie together. I loved writing the interactions between David and Alesha! What do you think is going to happen next and what did you love about this chapter? Bye until the next chapter!
