I Have a Son
“Babe, you look so depressed. What's up?".
My mood is at an all-time low after my encounter with Elena. I'm really fed up with the Fellogans, but I have to take my son's welfare into account. It is now time for me to make his existence known, he has a right to it. In addition, I am not ashamed of him, Lorrich is my most valuable treasure.
“Elena again. Just as I texted you she came in. Threatened me like the first time”, I sigh irritated. Aziel frowns and is silent for a moment. “Perhaps time to announce our engagement? That will calm their mind. If everyone knows we are a couple, they will ease up maybe," he suggests. That's what I actually want, but I have an unfinished business that I still have to handle. And I'm telling you, I'm terrified of how this ends. Aziel's reaction is the most decisive in this whole matter, I need him by my side.
“Aziel, there is a very important issue that I need to discuss with you,” I begin to pave the way for myself. “I am terrified of your reaction, I am terrified of losing you as I desperately need your love and support to deal with this matter”. The car comes to a sudden stop, drivers behind us start cursing loudly. Furious honking can be heard and a few show their middle finger as they bypass our vehicle.
Aziel looks at me startled.
“Loraine, what's going on? You sound so serious that my heart almost stopped. Baby, you know my love for you is unwavering, there's nothing that can take me away from you," he assures me. This is what I want but I don't know if this will be it when I tell him my secret.
“Aziel, I love you too. You are the light in my life and I sincerely hope that you are still here when I tell you this”, I say emotionally. He pulls up the car and parks in a quiet parking lot. It is already dusk, but a beautiful round moon lights the sky. My heart pounds like crazy when I look at Aziel. His hand is under my chin and he looks me straight in the eye. “Loraine, tell me now!”
I swallow hard, lower my eyes for a moment and look at him again.
“I have a son,” I whisper.
Aziel freezes, his eyes narrow and he continues to stare at me.
“A son?” he asks in disbelief.
I nod anxiously. He is clearly processing the news, he expected anything but such a confession. Aziel looks at me for a few more seconds. "Where is he? What's his name?" he asks softly. A slight joy comes over me. “He's with Andre. Michelle and Rick are looking after him too. His name is Lorrich.”
“Fellogan is his biological father”, he states. “Have you informed him yet?” I drop my face wistfully. "Not yet. With all the drama he and his wife are causing, I'm doubtful about it. Lorrich may not be able to cope with that, he's not used to fights and heavy emotions", I confess. “I don't really know how to handle this. I know that father and son have a right to know each other, but it is getting harder every time I meet the Fellogans.”
Aziel has a neutral expression on his face.
“We have a son”, he finally smiles. With a jerk I look at him, have I heard correctly, has Aziel named my son as his? Happy tears flow from my eyes. “Thank you, Aziel. For accepting my son”. I fall around his neck, he presses me against him. “Of course he is mine too, everything that’s yours is mine and vice versa,” he says. Our kiss that follows is deeper than our love, it is an expression of connection and unity.
I flatter myself against his chest as he strokes my hair.
“Lorrich must get here as soon as possible. His home is here. We explain the situation to him together. And if he has accepted that, you tell Dordrich and we will go to him with Lorich”. My happiness is unprecedented, I am no longer alone in overcoming this obstacle. I pull out my phone and show Aziel a photo of my son. My sandy blond hair and gray eyes are exceptional. In the photo he looks at us with a smile, an always happy little guy. Aziel and I are both black-haired and so his appearance will always raise questions. Aziel caresses the photo, my heart jumps.
I look for Andre's number in my contact list and press it.
Immediately he and Lorrich come into the picture. “Mommy! Did you still miss me? You're calling me twice today," he says enthusiastically with two chubby fingers in the air. I laugh at his childishness. "Yes Dear. You know I always miss you. But now I want to hold you in my arms. Ask daddy Andre if he wants to take you to me”. He screams with pleasure, throws his arms around Andre's neck. "We're going to mommy, we're going to mommy," he exclaims.
“Andre, when can you bring him?” I ask my good friend happily.
“Have you got everything in place, Loraine? No emotional shocks, please. My son is a happy boy and I want to keep it that way,” he says seriously.
I smile at him. “Look at this man next to me, do you remember him, Andre?” I tease. Andre looks strange. “Of course, I do. Aziel, my man. How's life? It's good that you and Loraine are back in touch." Now it is Aziel who grins with pleasure. “Are you talking about my fiancé?”. Andre's eyes widen. "Engaged? Why am I only hearing this now?” he says surprised. “If so, I'm sure everything will be fine with Lorrich. We will arrive tomorrow afternoon," he says firmly.
“Keep the wine cold. And juice for Lorrich.”
“You are so welcome, Andre”, replies Aziel appreciatively. “You can be sure that Loraine and Lorrich are good with me. I love this woman. And her son is mine.”
Lorrich who was following the conversation aside comes in. “Mommy, who is that man? He is so nice to you. Does he love me too?”, he asks with his hand against the screen to Aziel. “I love you too, Lorrich, rest assured. When you're here and we meet I'll tell you everything. Okay, little man?”
My son nods enthusiastically and kisses the screen.
It's gonna be okay, really okay!...
