The Struggles of a Single Father

One

"Look at him he's grown so much," she said making him giggle.

"I hope we didn't come late," Luke's parents, who were Jacob and Lea, said as they came in behind them.

"You're never late ma," Luke said giving her a hug.

"Yo Jonathan," Marcel, an old childhood friend, said as he came with his girlfriend Simone and his son Craig, who was 5 months old.

"Whoa Marcel Craig has gotten so big," Jonathan said as Craig snuggled in Simone.

"He still doesn't believe that Craig isn't his," Simone said and Marcel pouts.

"I'm black and he's white completely different," Marcel said and she giggles.

"He takes after his momma and the DNA test proves it," she says and Marcel kisses her forehead.

"Can you guys move," David said behind them.

"Hey David," Jonathan said as they came in.

"Where's Lui and the baby," Marcel said.

"Brian was being a bit fussy sorry," Lui said.

"Jaclyn couldn't make it but she gives her regards" David said taking Brian from Lui.

"When are you gonna have children Lui," Luke said and he shrugs.

"Who knows," he said.

"The life of the party is here," Ryan said holding a present

"What's up bitch," Jonathan said.

"Language we all have children," Bryce said as she came in holding her belly.

"Bryce you're so far along," Simone said touching her stomach.

"When is he due," Simone asked.

"Next month," she replied making Simone giggle.

"Dadda," Evan said grabbing Jonathan's leg.

"Awww Evan is so big," Bryce cooed going to him.

"There's food in the kitchen and you can leave the gifts on the table with the cake," Jonathan said and everyone moved to the kitchen.

The food was served and Evan watched curiously at the two babies that were at his party. When they had cut the cake they had sang Evan happy birthday. Evan had no clue at what was going on but he enjoyed the attention that he was given.

"Okay Evan it's time to open the presents," Jonathan said.

"Ooooh mine first," Dially said as she grabbed a red wrapped box.

Dially had given Evan some new clothes. Luke had given him a new playpen to which Jonathan punched him for. Blue had given him some new toys. David and Lui has given Evan some more clothes. Ryan and Bryce had given Evan a new fancy outfit. Marcel and Simone had given him more toys. His parents had given him some new bottles and Luke's parents had given him a stuffed raccoon.

"Thank you all for coming," Jonathan said as they were leaving.

"Me and Blue are staying to clean up," Dially said and he nods his head.

Everyone left and Blue sat on the couch rubbing her stomach as Luke held her. Jonathan and Dially were taking down the decorations as Evan was making his job a little harder for them.

"Sometimes I wished he napped when he's suppose to," Jonathan said throwing away something Evan had taken out from the trash.

"He's different aren't you Evy," Dially said cooing at him.

"es," Evan said as he took it out again.

"You didn't have to help," he said and she shakes her head.

"Nonsense I'm always glad to help," Dially said and Evan walked up to her.

Evan looked up at Dially with wide brown eyes. Dially was busy talking with Jonathan to notice and Evan frowns. He remembers seeing something on tv of a kid that said something to this lady. He thinks really hard and remembers the word.

"Mama," Evan babbled catching both of their attention.

"What Evan," Delirious said as Evan was pulling on Dially's dress.

"Mama Mama Mama," Evan babbled happily as Dially picked him up.

"Oh Evan," Dially said smiling softly at him.

The words Evan said dubbed deep into Jonathan's soul. More than he wanted it too.

I just love this story. I hope you guys figured out what I'm hiding ;). I'll give you guys a hint in the next chapter if you have no clue. Sorry this took long. I wanted to finish A Triple Life before I started on anything else. So expect more updates in the near future.

With lots of love 💛
