As a teenage mom I faced many problems for example I moved out of my mothers house and work for mine and mateos living. I am also finishing high school online. My son is my pride and joy, and his father is the love of my life. I couldn't ask for muc...
Not even twenty minutes after she left I heard a knock on the door." I laughed thinking she forgot something. When I open the door I see a newborn baby boy. There is also a letter on the paperwork saying he's mine now. Actually it says the resident of the house but that's me. So heh... I look down and notice he's just born and had his umbilical cord severed wrong. So I put him into a car and drive to the hospital. I have his umbilical cord done correctly and they ask to check me out but I say that I am fine and the doctor already handled me in the Emergency room. I obviously lied because this wasn't my biological baby. So the nurses left me be. Once he was fixed up I signed a birth certificate and named him Mateo Andres Ross. After my grandfather and father. I called my dad afterwords. Me: Okay Dad I have some news and you might not like it very much.. I was pregnant and well now I have my son Mateo. I got pregnant at a party and I didn't remember who I slept with. But now I know that the man was black (no racism there just saying the skin color) or from a very dark race. I love my son very much and I am sorry for hiding this from you. My dad: Boogerloo I am disappointed you didn't tell me where are you so I can come get you and my grand baby. We are going to go crib shopping now! You will start work after Mateo is one! I love you princess and I am exited!" Me: yes daddy I'm sorry I hid this from everyone. I love you My dad: love you too sweetie I'll be there in a minuet. *end of conversation* "Okay miss Mateo is fine and so are you. You may leave in a minuet. Just sign these papers. Do you have a car seat?" I didn't want to say no but I couldn't say yes... "It's on the way with mateos grandpa." The doctor nodded. With that he left me with papers and my son. I had to call my dad or Ava to bring a car seat. So I called Ava she was closer. Actually down the block whereas my dad was 10 minuets away. As soon as she picked up I started talking. " Ava I just had a baby need a Car seat asap! Hurry!" I said and hung up. After I filled out my paper work I signed out and went outside where I found Ava parking and running in with car seat. "I'm over here love." I said in a monotone voice not to wake Mateo. Ava came strutting up to me like it was a run way and when she saw Mateo she teared up. "I'm the godmother right? Because my nephew is so cute!" She said Tearing up. Then she took pictures with him being it was 10 o'clock it was dark so they were shitty quality. "I'm going shopping. For baby clothes. Right now. Bye!" She said screaming. "Get bottles formula and diapers with wipes too!" I said across the parking lot before texting my dad to meet me at my house. I buckled Mateo in and pulled away once I got home I saw my dad sitting in the drive with tons of stuff he was pulling it all into the house he had at least 20 boxes. "Okay while you unbox this and put it together as your punishment let me see my little man!" I looked at everything noticing it was all bedroom stuff I took it into the spare room that was originally my gym. After putting the crib together without any help! It was not in English at all to which didn't help! I go into the living room to find my dad asleep with Mateo and Ava walking in. "Why didn't you tell anyone? We would have been supportive? I could have taken you to the hospital. Poor baby had to wait to meet his aunty and grandpa!" I looked down ashamed that I lied to them about this and didn't hide the shame. "I was scared of what you'd think. I guess I was not counting my chickens before they hatched. Now that he's here why not be more open and happy about what all had happened." "Okay lets go through baby clothes and put them away" Knock knock "I'll get the door you put up Mateos clothes." I said walking to the door and looking through the peep hole to find my step mother looking drunk. "What do you want?" I said questionably. "My husband promised me a night alone and I'll be damned if his brat takes that from me!" "He is asleep with his grandson. I will wake him." She didn't notice me so I'm going to have Ava answer it while I put Mateo to sleep. "Ava my darling I am going to put Mateo to sleep while you answer the door. She is drunk and in a fighting mood. I don't have the energy to fight right now. Thanks darling." I said grabbing Mateo from his grandpa walking into my room and locking the door. Who knows what she will be planning on doing. I hear her walk in and complement the house and walk my father out,but what confuses me is when I hear her stiletto heels click to my door. "Listen here you whore if your father isn't at my house neither are you I don't need my son having kids at 15!" I'm actually 16 tomorrow... "Go home you skank I have a baby that I'm trying to put to sleep here thank you!" I said to her in a monotone voice. She never really was mean to me until just recently but I can deal with it for now. "Baby what are you doing I'm just telling Amara goodnight." "Don't lie to me. Don't you ever talk to my daughter like that again no wonder she thinks your the anti christ. Her son is the best thing that's happened to me and her in a while go get your ass in bed before I lock you the hell out!" Go dad! Tell her who's boss!! "It's safe to come out now if you would we have some clothes to sort and a bassinet to put up in your room!" Ava yelled excitedly from the hall. I put Mateo down on the bed and surround him in pillows so he won't roll off. When I walk out i here a faint cry from my bed and go to it to see Mateo is rolled over crying. I pick him up and he starts sucking on my arm, this lets me know he is hungry and I need to figure out how to build a bottle. "Ava I have to make Mateo dinner, then I'll sort clothes with you in his room. I honestly don't know how to make a bottle so it'll be a minuet." She got up off the wall and ran into the room and started spreading out everything on the floor. While I walked to the kitchen with Mateo still sucking my arm. I got out the formula and started reading it out loud.
"Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and warm water. Measure and pour desired amount of water into baby bottle. Add unpacked, level scoop(s) of powder to the bottle as directed. Return dry scoop to can. Put the cap on the bottle and shake. (Tip: Moving your wrist in a twisting motion helps powder formula mix more quickly and more thoroughly.) Feed or store immediately in refrigerator. Measure 24 fl oz water using a liquid measuring cup. Add 1 cup (100 gm**) of powder (unpacked and level, using a household measuring cup for dry ingredients). Add powder to water and mix well. Pour prepared formula into individual feeding bottles. Cap and store immediately in refrigerator; feed within 24 hours." Okay I got this totally! I fill the bottle and shake it like the directions say then notice Mateo had fallen asleep again. I contemplate on letting him sleep but I don't know the last time he ate. Once I finish with the bottle I pick him up and walk into his room. "Okay yay your back! Let's start with these! Look at these shoes!"

She showed me a pair of black Nike shoes for a baby and I looked in awe. It's hard to believe this tiny human is mine.
