I'm in Love with a Drag Queen (Adore Delano)

Part Ten: One Year Later

"Happy Birthday Mason" I say to my beautiful son, "happy birthday little buddy " says Danny as he hold Mason and smiles at him; I look at both Danny and my son and honestly it's such a cute picture. We are at Danny's place celebrating our son's first birthday day, we are surrounded by family and a hole lot of drag queens.

"It's so strange seeing you both as parents" said Alaska, "I mean Mason is adorable but I never picture you both together" she adds; " we are not together Alaska, we don't see each other that way" I lie though my teeth. I look over at Danny who is just having the time of his life and Mason smiling and giggling.

I still have feelings for Danny, that's something I can't just turn off but I know one day I won't. Mason is my priority and I'm happy to have a little part of Danny with me all the time. I love Danny and Mason but us being together is not a possibility, I know this.

"Elena" I hear Danny call, I look over and I see him tying to feed Mason some cake but Mason is playing with it " aww Mason" I said as I walk towards him, Mason looks up at me and smiles, I look at Danny " Mason has your smile" I said to him " yeah but he has your eyes, Mason is a perfect blend of both of us".

After the party we cleaned up and took mason to bed, he feel asleep pretty fast; "little guy was tired" said Danny we both left Mason's room and headed to the living room " our lives have changed so much since that memoryless night" he said, I looked at him as we entered the living room "yeah, I never thought I'd have a son with my best friend" I chuckled. We sat on the couch and watched some Netflix.

Tell him the truth said a voice in my head, I can't I know how this will end, grow some balls and tell him, I swallowed my pride and looked at him "Danny?" I called out, he looks over " I have to tell you something " I said to him, he stops the movie and focus his attention on me.

" Remember last year when you asked me what I meant what I said at one of your concerts?" I asked, he thinks about it for a bit " where you said ' even if he wasn't he wouldn't like me' that what you mean?" I nod in confirmation " well I said that because I like someone and he...he doesn't see me that way because he is gay" I started of, Danny looks at me in confusion " I still like him, but I know it would never happen" I added " who is this person?" Danny questions, I try to collect my thoughts and force some bravery to answer his question " you,Danny" I said without look at him. We sit in silence for a while and it was starting to get uncomfortable " Elena, I'm sorry I can't be the person you want me to be" he says " but I do love you, you are the mother of my son and you will always be in my life but I can't give you what you want, I'm sorry" he said sadly; I nod my head and feel my heart break but I already knew this would happen " I know, I understand" I said with a small smile.

My heart just died but I got it off my chest, Danny is my best friend and my son's father, we are join together by this small person and I'm grateful for it. Things might not had turn out how I had hopped for but now I know that even if him and I as a couple is out of the question I'm still happy that we are parents together. I love how my life turn out and I wouldn't change it for the world.
