"Daddy!! Wake up!!" Aidan squealed and jumped on top of me.

I groaned. "I'm up." I said with eyes still shut tight.

"Open your eyes silly." I smiled at that.

"Not until you kiss daddy's cheek." I smirked. He wants me up, he was to earn it.

Seconds later, there's a wet kiss being planted on my cheek.

"You monster." I roared and he squealed. I picked Aidan up and twirled him in circles.

"Woah daddy. I'm getting dizzy." I chuckled and stopped, collapsed on the bed and Aidan crawled on my stomach.

"Oh jeez, you're getting big buddy." I flexed and his hand was on my stomach.

"Do that again daddy." He lifted up my shirt to reveal my six pack. "What are these?" He looked in awe and rubbed my stomach.

"Those are abs bud." I explained. These next three months are gonna be interesting.

"Alright buddy, what movie should we see?" I asked Aidan, who's in the backseat.

" What movies?" He asked? Let's see what kind of kid movies there are.

"There's "Cars," "Monsters Inc," "Scooby-Doo," and "Planes." I explained.

"Scooby-Doo!!" He squealed. He likes to squeal a lot.

"Alright." I pulled in the movie theater parking lot and parked. Unbuckled Aidan and walked inside.

As we were waiting in line, an old lady walked up to me.

"Excuse me, don't mind me asking, but how old are you and this little boy?" Why would she want- oh, never mind, so she can judge.

"I'm eighteen ma'am, and Aidan's three. I'll be nineteen in a few months, and he'll be four in a few months also." I explained to her and she nodded.

"So young, how old were you?" After I say my age, she'll start the judge.

"I was fifteen ma'am." Her face was filled with shock.

"A fifteen year old boy raising a child with a fifteen year old girl." Wrong.

"Actually ma'am, my girlfriend never told me she was pregnant. Three years later, she finally decides to tell me." She should know the truth before judging.

"Still so young to have a child. Couldn't you have waited to have any relationship until you were like thirty?" Well excused me then.

"Come on Aidan, we can see a movie a different time." I picked him up and walked past the lady and left the building. So much for movie day.

I buckled Aidan back in an left to go back home. Why do people have to judge all the time?

"Where are we going daddy?" Aidan asked nicely. At least I have Aidan with me.

"We're going home buddy." He nodded and looked back down. "Aidan baby, you know that daddy loves you right?" I asked.

"Yes." He smiled.

"Good, cause daddy loves you so much. Don't forget that." I smiled widely and so did he.

"I love you too daddy." My smile grew even bigger, if that was possible.

"No daddy!! Stop, it tickles!" Aidan screamed. Right now I'm tickling him.

"I'll stop if you get in that bath." He squealed again.

"I'll go in the bath daddy." I stopped and he ran. Little liar.

"You tricked daddy." I began fake crying. It worked. I wanted to laugh so hard.

"I'm sorry daddy. I love you." I smiled and swooped him up.

"I love you too Aidan." I kissed his cheek and began walking up the stairs that was in this apartment.

"What's your name daddy?" He asked and I chuckled. He's growing up so fast.

"Ashton." I said and his face lite up.

"My daddy's name is cool." I laughed. Young ones.

"Yes it is." I turned on the bathroom light and closed the door while locking it.

"What's your full name daddy?" This kid has so many questions. Just like his mother. Oh boy. He better have her brains too. Mine aren't too smart, but smart enough to graduate.

"Ashton James Burns." She smiled and took off his shirt. He's a little skinny, but he's only three.

"Aswin James Burns." I laughed again. He can't really say my name. He'll get it though.

"And your full name is Aidan Darren Burns." After I said that, he was naked and in the bath.

Soon bath time was over and it was time for dinner. It was six and me and Aidan agreed that his bedtime is eight.

I know, it's a late bedtime for a three year old, but he's not in school yet. Let him live a little before hell- I mean school.

"When's my birthday daddy?" Hm, let's see. It's May now, and his birthday is in October.

"In five months buddy. Your birthday is in October." My birthday is in June. June twenty-first. Aidan is October thirtieth. A day before Halloween.

"Ok, what's for dinner?" He's a growing boy I see. Already hungry.

"What do you want?" I asked. Might as well ask him because I don't want to make something that he doesn't like.

Yes, I'm wrapped around his finger. Just a little. I'm just that awesome of a dad.

"Mac and Cheese?" I nodded and grabbed a box from the cabinet.

Suddenly my phone started ringing and I saw it was Charlie.

"Hey." I said.

"Hey, how's everything going?" She asked worriedly.

"Everything's going great. I'm about to make dinner." I explained.

"What you making?" She sound so worried. She needs to learn to trust me. At least me right?

"Mac and Cheese. Aidan suggested it. I think I might gain some weight in these past three months if he chooses all these foods." I chuckle and I heard her giggle.

"Go to the gym then. Bring Aidan with. He can start working out, just be careful around weights." Now she sounds happy.

"I might have to if I want to keep my six pack." After I said that, there was a moment of silence.

"Can I talk to Aidan?" Hm, that was weird.

"Of course, here's the monster." I heard a small giggle and handed the phone to Aidan.

I put the phone on speaker so I could listen too.

"Hi baby." Charlie spoke.

"Hi mommy." Aidan said back.

"How do you like living with daddy?" I smiled as she said daddy.

"I love it mommy. Daddy's awesome a and cool and funny." Oh kill em. I'm the best dad ever!!

"I'm sure he is buddy. Anything new?" She asked. Charlie never even denied of me being awesome.

"Me and daddy played tickle." Ah, tickle time. New play game for me.

"That's awesome bud." Charlie said happily through the phone.

"Yes mommy, it was fun." He smiled. I rubbed his head, messing up his long shaggy hair he's got. I like his hair long like this.

"Listen buddy, mommy has to go, can you give the phone to daddy? I love you Aidan." I wonder what she wants to ask me? I have so many ideas in my head.

"Otay mommy. I love you too." Then he gave the phone to me and ran to his room a set up for him.

"Hey again." I said.

"Let me guess, you had the phone of speaker?" She's smart.

"Yep." I popped the word.

"Listen Ashton. It sounds like you're doing a really good job with our son. He really loves you, and I know you love him. So, I'll think about the idea of you staying in Aidan's life." Was I hearing things?

"Really? Oh my Jinxx. Think about it Charlie. I love Aidan so much. I'd do anything to be in his life." I said quickly. I might be able to be in his life. I hope I do. I want to see him grow up in the next fifteen years.

"I will, I got to go. Bye." Then the line went flat. Yes! She'll think about it.

I can't believe that in fifteen years, Aidan will be eighteen and I'll be thirty-three. Dang, I'll be damn young when he graduates. That's good.

Fifteen years is basically around the corner. It's really short, but to me, I think I'm gonna have a journey in these next fifteen years. IF I'm in Aidan's life.

But I know I will be. I know Charlie will say yes. I have a feeling. I didn't ask her, on the phone, she randomly blurted it out. She'll say yes.

I just know she will.
