My baby would be turning one next month already. This melancholic feeling in me made me more sad and doubtful knowing that sooner or later, he would be growing up into a man and would explore the world, get a job, and would eventually move out from our house.

I was hesitant to face the reality but for the bright future of my baby, I would do anything for him.

I have enough money saved in the bank and I have already planned the theme for my baby's birthday party. France offered to take care of the expenses but I refused. He didn't fight anymore because he knew he wouldn't win, instead, he suggested to take care of the technical stuffs such as the lights and sounds, and the picture takings.

I got so ecstatic for this big day for my baby. I even had a special planner so I could easily organized the things needed for the party.

I already sent invitations to my son's godmothers and godfathers, and their kids. Some of France's employees would also be coming. They were very fond of my baby and sometimes watched him whenever France brought him to his office.

I hadn't heard of David lately. Well, I had completely ignored his calls and emails, so probably he already got tired of trying to reach me and that made him stop finally.

I don't want to think of him anymore. The sex that we had was just because of lust. He could just call any other woman to fulfill his needs. No woman would dare to decline such a handsome and rich man. And unfortunately, I was a fool to be one of them.

I was currently at the mall buying things for my baby. France was taking care of him at home. He let me shop so I could finish buying the stuffs we needed for my baby's birthday.

I had been roaming around the mall for 4 hours now so I decided to call France.

"Hello Franny?"

"Hi Livy? How are you doing there?"

"Everything's good. I'm almost finish. I just called to check on you and my baby."

"He has been very behave and always looking cute." He said while giggling. He must have tickled my baby because I could hear my baby's laughs.

Suddenly, I heard my baby babbling like somebody was playing with him. I could sense that it was not France. I stopped to listen more.

"France? Where are you?" I asked.

"We went out for a while. Ahm...We're at the park right now. Yeah!" France sounded nervous. Even on the phone, I know France very well. I could feel and sense my own brother.

"Livy, we have to go now. I will be touring this cute baby around." He exclaimed.

"Okay."

I was hesitant to end the call. I wanted to ask France of who was with them but the call had already ended. I didn't bother myself anymore. I continued roaming around the mall until I got exhausted.

I went home at around 5pm and I found France sleeping on the couch with my baby laying on his chest securely wrapped around his uncle's arms. The television was on. They must had been watching cartoons again.

I slowly closed the door and tipped on my toes.

"Franny, wake up. I'm home." He slowly opened his eyes while I took my sleeping baby from him.

My baby moved slightly and I hummed so he could get back to sleep. I kissed his head before putting him on the crib.

When I went outside the bedroom, I found France talking on his phone in a very low voice and he winked at me. I giggled and sticked my tongue out.

I prepared our dinner, then we ate and cleaned the dishes. It was already 11pm and I and France were resting on the couch watching some late entertainment show. We were eating ice cream while I put my legs on his lap.

"Livy? Is David Miller wooing you?" Did he just ask me? I paused from eating my ice cream.

"Why would you ask such thing?" I replied.

"Well, he called you like everyday. And he had visited you here and even stayed. I just don't understand why you keep on avoiding him now."

"He is an old friend back in London." I answered while keeping my eyes glued to the tv screen.

"Am I missing something? Wait, crash that! Are you not telling me something?" He frowned.

I shook my head innocently.

"You will tell me if you like someone right?" He asked sweetly and I just nodded while licking the spoon.

"You are still young. If you want to date someone, go for it. I will not hinder you as long as it makes you happy." He genuinely smiled at me and I akwardly smiled back.

"Fran, you know that I am not interested in men anymore."

"Are you interested in women now?" He joked then laughed hard.

"Noooo!" I laughed with embarassment and I playfully slapped his arm.

We laughed more and fought with pillows to each other. When we calmed down, he hugged me closer.

"You know I love you so much right?" I nodded in response.

"And I love baby Nico too." I smiled at him and nodded like a child.

"Go to bed now, witch!" He released me and got off from the couch to throw away the ice cream cups.

"If am a witch, then you are an ugly troll!" I replied back laughing as he stuck his tongue out childishly. 😝
