Part 5

1 month later.

So its been a month since everything went down with Ray. He finally calmed down and took the chance to meet his son.

2 weeks earlier

Rayan walked through the front dooe after letting him in.

"Nice house" he said looking around.

"Thanks" I said.

"No problem." There was a silence. " So, um where is he." I could tell he was nervous.

"Ray there's nothing to be worried about" he shoved his hands in his pockets.

"Ik, but what if he dont like me." He was too cute right now. Wait, No, I have Craige.

"Ray, he's 5 he doesnt hate anyone"

Before he said anything I called out to Rory. I heard little footsteps and screaming before I see Rory come out with Ari on his back. I laughed before picking up Ari.

"Woah! Ur Rayan Lopez from the Miami heat!" Rory was excited.

"Hey Rory." Ray roughed up his hair before giving him a hug.

"U my favorite basketball player and all but dont touch my hair." He said seriously. Ray and I laughed. He was just like him.

"Alright, man. But we gotta talk." Ray picked up Rory and carried him over to the couch amd sat him on his lap.

"So Rory, u kno who ur dad is?" Ray never been good with forming his words.

"Well, I call Ari dad my dad but mommy say he's not." He shrugged casually.

"Your mom is right. He's not your father because I am."

When Ray said that Rory's face lit up immediately.

After that, Rory and Ray talked for a few more hours. For a 5 year old Rory can keep a conversation.

After Ray left, we agreed that he could get Rory on the weekends.

Rory and Ari were finger painting on the patio when I heard a knock on the door. Craige wasnt here to open the door. He's currently in California working on a song with August Alsina. I made sure the patio door leading to outside was locked before I opened the door.

I smiled at Zendaya and Bella at the door.

"Hey, Auntie Ali." Bella exclaimed as she jumpped into my arms for a hug.

"Hey princessa." I kissed her cheek. "Rory and Ariel is out back painting, u can go if u want" I informed her. She looked up at Zen for permission. She nodded before Bella took off for the patio.

Zenny and I went to the patio to supervise the kids .

"Aunt Daya!" Ari and Rory exclaimed when they saw her.

She hugged them with caution bec they had paint all over their hands.

"So how's Rory liking his dad?" She asked.
