"Mommy." Kody called out as he shook me lightly out my sleep.
"What is it Kody?" I groaned feeling a headache coming on.
"I have a question."
"This question couldn't wait?" I sat up on the bed.
"Nope." He popped the p.
"Alright. go on."
"Do I have a dad?" He tilted his head.
I tensed up. What am I supposed to tell a three-year-old? Oh, Well one day mommy was walking home from the store only to be raped, beat up and left for dead? You were born without a father.
"Where did you get that question from?"
"Movies, everybody has one but me." Tears fell down his cheeks. I took a deep breath picking him up and holding him closely to me.
"It's going to be okay. You have one out there somewhere. " I mumbled the last part. You know what they say 'Anyone can be a father but it takes a real man to be their dad.' I feel someone will come and be willing to take care of Kody as their own. Not that I can't do that on my own but I can't keep lying to him, and he will know the whole truth when he's older.
After ten minutes of rocking him and telling him it's going to be alright, he fell right to sleep. I tucked him in and rolled out of bed. Hopefully, he doesn't remember anything when he wakes up. I know it's harsh but you can't blame me.
Going into the bathroom I start my morning routine. Afterward, I look at myself in the mirror seeing the hideous bags forming under both eyes. I felt a sudden wave of emotion go through my body as tears started spilling out.
I ask my self everyday why? But I will never know that answer, well at least not now. Sometimes I just cry for nothing and to think it's been 3 years, I would be over it but I'm not. It still haunts me.
I walked over to the cabinet taking out my bottle of antidepressant pills. I take one putting them back, going into the kitchen for a bottle of water.
"Karrrdiiii!" Koby yelled.
I ran to the room. "What's wrong?"
"Nothing, I'm bored wha- you been crying?" He frowned.
"What! No, I just woke up." I lied.
"Don't fucking lie to me Kardi." He added base to his voice.
I sighed. "I have but I'm fine now. Kody just asked if he had a dad."
"He asked you that for real?" I nodded. "Damn, that's crazy. I wouldn't expect him to ask for at least another year or two. What you say though?"
"I didn't really answer because he started crying, so I comforted him."
