DAKOTA POV

Today was my baby's birthday.. Honestly I had a lot planned for him and I just wanted the day to be special. I was lowkey nervous though cause I'd hoped that he would like everything I got him...

ETHAN POV

I woke up, grateful to see another year. Today was Saturday, also my birthday.. and I couldn't be happier.

I walked into the bathroom and began my morning routine, brushing my teeth, washing my face, etc.

After getting out of the shower & putting my boxers and sweats on, I grabbed my phone off of the charger and opened my camera.

I posted it on my story, along with some words, "It's a real niggas birthday!"

Shortly after, Dakota replies to my story, and I chuckle at her response.

I turned my phone off and put my shirt & hoodie on, completing the outfit with my Air Force 1s. I sprayed myself with cologne and turned off my bathroom light.

I walked downstairs to see my mom smiling, lighting a candle inside of a cupcake. I always hated big cakes and I'm glad she remembered. I loved my mom so much, she was there for me when nobody was.

I rushed down the steps, running over to her, practically jumping on her.

"Muchas gracias mama! Te amo.."
I hugged her again before blowing out the candle. I turned back over to her, looking down at her.. she was 4'11, and really tiny, but still stronger than me in so many ways.

"Los grandes dieciocho!", she smiled. She began tearing up, still smiling at me.

She'd cry on most of my big milestones, seeing as her "big boy was growing up".

I just hugged her and held her as she wiped away her tears.
