Leila POV
I wake up to the sound of loud crying, my mind goes straight to my son Kai.
I look over at the baby monitor that laid on my nightstand. I knew that Kai was three years old now but I keep the monitor just for security reasons.
I pry myself out of my comfortable queen-sized bed and drag my feet all the way to Kai's room. "What's wrong little man?" He wasn't a good talker yet, but most of the time I could understand him.
"I-I had a bad dream." He slurs out, "Do you wanna come lie with me?" I ask him and he nods.
I pick him up and carry him into my room and lied him down, I then rushed into the kitchen to grab him a warm bottle of milk.
My house wasn't very big, but it was big enough for Kai and I to lay our head down every night. I came back into the room carrying the bottle and he began to smile showing his deep dimples.
"Gosh I love this boy." I thought as I handed him the bottle, he then began sucking the bottle quickly.
I lied down next to him and began to fall asleep.
"Get out of here Damion, Kai and I are doing fine without you!" I yell to my ex/baby daddy.
"I'm not going anywhere Lei!" He yelled back as he raised his arm to strike me.
I wake up panting really hard with my hand over my chest while I tried to slow my heart beat. "Ugh, that dream again." I thought.
I've been having that exact same dream since I kicked Damion out of the house. Later, the insurance placed kicked us out of the house because we weren't able to pay the bills.
I roll my eyes at the thought and lie back down to go to sleep again.
The next morning came as I hop out of bed and hurry into the kitchen to cook breakfast. I grabbed eggs from the refrigerator and bacon and waffles from the freezer.
I cook the food quickly and headed back into my room to wake Kai up. "Kai wake up sweetie." I say as I shake him gently.
He woke up and I helped him off the bed. "I'm hungry." He says as he holds my hand while we walk through the hallway and into the kitchen.
"I made breakfast." I say and then smile at him.
"Waffles?"
"Yup." I agree.
"Bacon?"
"Yup."
"And Eggs?"
"Yup, yup, yup." I say and he jumps up and down in the air while cheering.
I help him up into his high chair and he begins to devour his plate. I then sit down besides him and begin to eat myself.
We finishes our plate at the same time and I throw the dishes into the dish water that I had ran after I finished cooking.
"Time to get ready for school." I says to him and he sighs.
"I dont wanna go to school." He says while crossing his arms.
