Faith's POV

Six Months Later

"So Faith. How have you been these past two weeks? You've been too busy to come by and see me." Teresa, my therapist, smiled and laughed.

"Well I've been working a lot. You know I started back at work last week so I'm just getting back into the swing of things." I smiled and explained.

"How was your first time actually being away from Kaiden? Were you okay to be separated or did you have a hard time?"

"Whew. Teresa I'm not even going to lie to you. It was rough for me. Kaiden and I have been attached at the hip since he's been born. He has always been in close proximity of me so having to go to work while he is somewhere was hard for me, but we're managing. He's a chill baby so he doesn't give me a hard time." I chuckled.

"That's good. What about you and David?"

"What about us?"

"Has anything changed with that?"

I shook my head. "Nope. Absolutely nothing."

"He still hasn't been by to see Kaiden?"

I shook my head again, but dabbed the corner of my eyes with a tissue so my tears wouldn't mess up my makeup.

"Why does this make you so emotional every time I bring it up?" I knew she knew the answer, but this is just helping me release these pent up emotions.

"Because it's not right." I sniffed and dabbed the tissue on my nose. "Forget your feelings about me and our situation. Why can't you be present for your son that we created? Kaiden didn't ask to be here. It's our responsibility to be parents to him. Plural, but I'm the only parent he has and it's not fair. Kaiden is being robbed of having a father in his life because his dad wants to be bitter and I feel so bad. My son deserves the world and a wonderful, present father."

"I agree. Have you tried talking to him?"

"I really don't see why I have to pull teeth with a thirty five year old man about fathering his child, but yes I have. I've called, sent multiple text messages, sent pictures, but I've gotten nothing. I believe he blocked me. The crazy thing is, if Dave ever came to me and said he wanted to be present and father Kaiden I would let him. One hundred percent."

"Why would you call that crazy and why would you be so quick to allow him that opportunity?"

"I called it crazy because he's not being a great father. He's abandoning his son and I'd still let him back in. Well it's not crazy, but I don't know what else to call it. And the reason I would let him back in is because I want Kaiden to have everything and more that I didn't have. A father included. I've always wondered how I would have turned out if my dad would have been here and from the stories my mom told me, I know he would have loved to have been apart of my life. I don't want Kaiden to have to ever wonder what his life would have been like with his dad around, when his dad is alive and well, and lives forty five minutes away from him."
