Ellie's POV

I ran as a little monster chased me. I can't stop myself to giggle as his little hand grip my waist and wrestle me, "Got you," he said with his cute little voice.

"Elian stop that, it tickles," I laughed but he continued tickling me. I fell down on the bed and I grabbed him with my both hands and lifted him up. Then, he extended his right arm and played like a superhero.

"Mama, I want to be superhero," he said while his beautiful dooey steel blue eyes looked at me.

"You can be whatever you want little monster," I chuckled as I put him down on the bed. He was a hyper child and on his age of three, surely he talks a lot. I can't help but to admire my little boy.

"Mama, when I grow up I will marry a girl as beautiful as you," he stated as he kissed my cheeks.

I pinched his cheeks gently, "You're so adorable my baby but you're still young to say that."

"Mama, where is Papa?" I almost choke with his question but I smiled right away as I recovered.

"Do you want to play sword games?" I cheerfully said trying to change the subject. I don't really know where's his papa is and I never intend to know it. I get the plastic sword on the corner and handed to Elian.

My little monster pose like a knight in shining armor, "Prepare to loose villain," he said that made me chuckled.

Who needs a man, if you have a child that treats you his everything.

"You cannot hide him from his father forever Elizabeth. Sooner or later Elian will ask and you need to tell him the truth. Dios Mio! The child is already growing up," Mama Maria sermoned.

It has becoming her habit to always remind me that Elian needs to know about his father. Of course, my stubborn self would say "no". Liam doesn't need to know it. I am perfectly happy now with my life with Elian. If he needs a father, I am here to be one. Even if it means that I need to cross dress to look like one.

I gave her my toothy grin, "Did Gabriela called?" I asked changing the subject.

"Yes and don't change the subject Elizabeth. You're already an adult. Don't act like a child and be serious," she hissed while crossing her arms.

"Mama, life would be boring if you take it seriously. Come on, smile or else you will have lots of wrinkles. By the way, I saw Mr. Collette earlier and he was asking about you. You know mama, I think he likes you," I wiggled my brows and giggled.

"I'm to old for that and don't talk to me like that Elizabeth!"

"Oh I remember, I need to call back sissy," I said hurrying upstairs as I hopped escaping my mother's preaching. I went inside Elian's room. He was sleeping soundly and peacefully. I kissed his forehead gently. He really looks like an angel.

"I love you my baby. I don't know what will I do without you," I whispered as I sat down beside him.

Elian completes my life. He is the one that makes me smile and the reason why I am striving to be a good person.

I am also thankful to Liam because without him, Elian would not be born. What happened to us was just a one night stand and I didn't expect that I would be pregnant. I didn't tell him about it because I was afraid that he would force me into abortion or get my child.

Nobody knew that he is the father of my son, even my mother and best friend Gabriela. Well, except for Adrian.

I don't intend to tell it to anyone but that time Adrian was with me when I suddenly fainted. He brought me into the hospital and that was the day I found out that I was pregnant. He also help me to went back in Belize when I knew Mama Maria got hospitalize because of pneumonia.

I only told Gabriela about it when I went home to Belize.

But Elian is a striking resemblance of Liam. If the two would be in one room, they will be no doubt that they will look like a father and son.

I sighed. Life is unfair sometimes. I carry the child in my womb for nine months and at the end he would look like his father.

My phone rang and I immediately answered it as I headed to my room.

"Hi sissy! How are you?" I asked Gabriela excitedly as I lay down on my bed.

Gabriela Sullivan is my bestfriend and she is also like my sister. I miss her so much. It has been 3 years since the last time I saw her but we never failed to communicate with each other. She was my partners in crime and we had done some dangerous things that I really enjoyed. We were like sugar and spies, sweet but dangerous. But those days were gone. I miss the thrill and action. I miss the feeling of adrenaline inside my body.

Sadly, I am just here in my old town, doing some techy works. No more action and fun but facing my computer all day. Of course, I love Elian and I am happy with my son. But there's always a part of me that wonder what would happen if I didn't get pregnant.

Maybe I become a secret agent. It has been always my dream to become a badass secret agent.

Oh yes, I could hack some government website and applied as a spy. That idea made me squeal with excitement.

'Elizabeth! You're a grown up woman! Just think about Elian! You will get to jail if you do that!' my matured and boring self scolded.

"Ellie, are you listening to me?" Gab asked in other line.

"What again?" I grinned even though she didn't see me.

"Good heavens Elizabeth! I have been talking here and you're not listening? I said that I will be getting married and you will be my maid of honor," her voice was full of happiness.

"Really? I'm happy for you sissy! When will be your wedding? I can't wait to see you in a white gown! I bet you will look like a goddess! Are you inviting some hot men too? I can't wait to see how their jaw drop when they see me," I blubbered and jump in excitement.

Actually, I don't care about men anymore. I am just excited for Gabriela. After all these years, finally she will be tying knots with Breece. They had been a lot in their relationship and they were a times that they broke up but thankfully got back again. Even though I was away with my best friend, I knew what was happening to her because she was calling me every time she has a problem.

Gab chuckled, "You never changed Ellie. It will be on next Saturday. Bring Maria and Elian with you. I miss them already."

Oh no! What if I see Liam there?! Well, who cares? As if he will know about Elian.

I squealed in excitement, "Sure! I can't wait to see you sissy! This will be an exciting summer!"
