It it almost the end of July now. Things have been going pretty well for the most part. Jared, Hercules and I have been helping Sam get the nursery set up when we are not on patrol.
I have been doing better on my temper and not sleeping around as much either. After Ariel chewed my ass out I decided to try and do better. She was like a mother figure to me and I did not want to disappoint her.
Today I was just sitting at my house since my father wasn't here. As I am watching tv there is a knock on the door. When I opened it I was Heather. I haven't seen her in a long time.
"Hey, uh what are you doing here?" I asked. She then bends out and picks up a carrier.
"I am here to give you your son." She says. I feel like I got hit by a truck.
"What?" I say.
"Here is your son. I do not want him either. This is all the paper work filled out stating I am signing over my rights. I have a life I want to life and just do not want to be tied down to a baby." She says.
She then sits the baby carrier back on the ground and turns around and walks away. I am still in shock but am pulled back into reality when he starts crying.
I lean down and take him out of the carrier and hold him against my chest. As I hold him I look through all of the paper work and birth certificate. Mason Levi Lahote. There is even a DNA test on there and it has my name on it. What am I going to do?
I do not have the resources to take care of a baby. What am I going to do? I kept repeating to myself. I pull myself together and place Mason back in the carrier and go to the only place I know to go. First I stopped at the store and quickly bought the basics of diapers, bottles, and formula. After checking out I then leave to go for help.
When I get there I knock on the door. When it opens I see who I needed right now. "Paul is everything okay?" Ariel asked.
"I need you right now. And please do not yell at me or be upset okay? I know I have fucked up but I have no one else to come to about this so please. I just need a mother figure right now and to help me please." I beg as I start to cry knowing how much I have fucked up.
I walk over to my truck and I pull the carrier out and go back inside. When Ariel sees the carrier she looks at me with wide eyes. "Give me the bags of items, go sit on the couch and I will be right there with a bottle." Ariel says.
After a few minutes she comes in with a bottle full of milk. "Okay, hand me the baby and I will feed him while you sit there and tell me what is going on." She says. I then take Mason out and hand him over. He instantly snuggles in to her as she begins to feed him.
"Okay, so I was at my house today since my father wasn't home. I was just watching tv when there was a knock on door. When I opened I saw a girl who used to go to school with me. Her name is Heather Carter. She is a year older than me. Anyways, I asked her what she wanted and she went into telling me that he is my son and she didn't want anything to do with him because she had a life she wanted to life and didn't want to be tied down to baby. She handed me a folder with his birth certificate, DNA test and the paper signing all her rights away. I panicked I didn't know where else to go. I know you are probably mad at me right now especially after telling me to be careful a few months ago but I should have been careful all along. I do not know what to do Ariel." I say as tears are rolling down my face.
I look over and see Ariel tearing up. "Listen I will not yell at you for being stupid and sleeping around. But what I am going to tell you is to step up and be the better person. You know exactly what it is like for a parent to leave you, so do better by being the parent this baby needs. If and when the time comes and you imprint, I promise I will try my best to help talk to her into understanding the situation. Seeing from his birth certificate he was born June 9th so that means he was conceived in September. Do you remember anything from then?" Ariel ask.
I started thinking about that time. "Um I remember one night going to a party and got really drunk. I do remember her being there so maybe that is when it was but I honestly do not remember fully. I'm so sorry." I say putting my face in my hands.
I feel Ariel move over and sit next to me. I sit up and she hands me Mason. I place him against my warm naked chest and he curls right into me and coos. I gently run my finger her his cheek and down his body. His little hand moves and wraps around my finger as he snuggles into me more. I start crying a little more seeing this beautiful boy in my arms.
"Here is what we are going to do. You are going to move out of your fathers house. Second, you are going to move into our basement. We do not do anything with it and we can get it set up for you to have you own little apartment place. Of course you can come up and eat in this kitchen so that will be taken care of. Then we will go shopping and get you everything that you need for yourself and for him to have a comfortable living place. We can get you baby clothes, a crib, all of it. It will be okay. Since you boys handle patrol most of the time, I will be here and watch over him when you are busy that way you do not have to worry about if he is okay or not. I am sure Emily will help as well. It is going to be okay and this may be a blessing in the end. Right now it seems crazy and like you world has come crashing down, but maybe getting Mason is the beginning to your world building up." Ariel says.
I just nod my head while looking down at my son. "Thank you Ariel. You have always been a mother figure to me. Thank you for being there when I needed you even though I messed up." I say.
"I will always be here for you boys. You are family and as your luna it is my job to mother you and help take care of you." She says.
I stayed with her the remainder of the day and when Sam came home, we sat him down and explained what happened. He was on board for moving into the basement. It was sound proof so didn't have to worry about Mason's cries waking anyone else up but me. I am so thankful for them. I don't know what I would do if they were not here for me right now.
The longer I held Mason the more I fell in love with him.
