DALVIN DEGRATE'S RESIDENCE

"Dalvin..."

"Dalvin..."

Dalvin groaned under his breath and turned to his wife who was still laying down in bed. He had work in the morning and here she was waking him up. His eyes squinted to the mini figure of his son standing beside their bed with his teddy bear.

His little face was showcasing fear and Dalvin already knew what he had to do. He looked back over to his wife that seemed to have dozed off. He threw the covers off of him, he grabbed his blue silk robe and slid on his slippers.

"C'mon Boy, it better be something in yo' room." He stated as the two exited his room and down the long dark hallway. The sound of the ceiling fan and soft sounds of raining continued. Thunder erupted and the both of them jumped.

"Oh shit! scared me too lil' man." Donovan grasped his father's hand and Dalvin finally opened his son's bedroom door. As routine for the last two weeks Dalvin checked under the bed, in the closet and behind the curtains and of course nothing was there.

Donovan day in his bed under his Nascar covers and gave his Dad a somewhat adorable smile.

"Now can you sleep?" He nodded watching his Father walk to the door but quickly stopped him.

"Can you read me a story please?" Dalvin glared at his son with an unamused facial expression. He could've dropped his child off to his Mother like his brother and lived his best life.

Try the parenthood they said.... It'll be fun they said.

"Don...I got work to-"

"Or I'll tell Momma you working on music again." Dalvin turned to his son with a blank stare while his son held a semi-smirk on his.

Dalvin smacked his teeth and walked over to the rocking chair and sat down already aggravated but grabbed the book anyway.

"What you wanna start with Little Man?" Donovan tapped his chin and smiled.
