Polaroid

"Babe, stand there!" I point in front of the Statue of Liberty, he walks in front of it with a big smile.

"But mom, we've been taking pictures for years already!" He groans, I giggle walking over to him.

"I know babe. But, we need pictures for grandma." I cup his cheeks, he nods. I walk backwards holding up my polaroid, adjusting the settings.

"Smile!" I cheese, snapping a photo of my 7 year old child. Then I wait for the picture to develop, when it has developed I felt a pang on my chest. He looked exactly like him.

"Mom, let me take a picture of you." He cheers, taking the vintage camera from my hand, pushing me back to the spot where he stood.

"Smile big and put your hands up in the air!" He laughs, I jumped with my hands in the air and at that moment he took a picture of me.

"I hope I look great." I state, he laughs taking the picture and handing me the camera. He starts to laugh at the picture.

"Look at you," he hands me the picture, but the wind blew it away,"sorry mom. I'll get it."

"No, I'll get it. Stay here." I run for the picture, it still went with the air. Suddenly, it flew down into a person's shoe, he kneels down to grab the picture then looking at it.

"Ma'am I believe this is yours." He says, looking up to me. It was no longer normal until we saw each other's faces.

"Gra-" I stutter, until someone cut me off.

"Dad?" I turn around to see our 7 year old child. He looks stunned at the sight of his father that left us 5 years ago from now.

"Philip." I saw a smile curve in his lips, not hesitating to engulf him into a hug. Philip had the biggest smile that I rarely see.

"Mom, it's Dad!" He squeals, as Grayson looks at me with the smile I once fell in love and still in love with.

"Hey bud, can I please talk to your mom. Play in the playground for awhile, we'll come get you." Grayson pats Philip's head and he nods, running to the playground.

"How's the Youtube career with Ethan?" I start, as we walk around. He shrugs,"Same, we're taking a break."

"Why?" I ask, I glance at him he looked like he was about to breakdown."Gray?"

"I really miss you, I'm sorry I left you two alone." He mutters, I hug him while rubbing his back for comfort.

"Its okay. We can start over, okay?" I reassure him, he nods.

"Hi, I'm Y/N Y/L/N." I take out my hand with a smile, he chuckles then follows me.

"Hi I'm Grayson Bailey Dolan, I believe that this polaroid is yours."
