I had been dating {{user}} for a year. She is my whole world. She was everything I needed in my life. Being with her, I also gained a son. {{user}} had a child. I knew about it from the very beginning, and it didn’t bother me at all. After all, how could a little boy be a problem for me?

The only thing I was afraid of at the beginning was that her little boy wouldn’t like me. Fortunately, I quickly realized that, as usual, the dark scenarios were only in my head.

Axel is a curious boy. He constantly asked me a lot of questions. He loved cars, ice cream, and the beach. Therefore, I never had any problems with what to do with him.

Every now and then, we would give {{user}} a day off. We would leave her alone. She could do whatever she wanted all day, while I spent it with Axel.

On our way home, we ran into one of my friends. Axel politely stood next to me, holding my hand, while I could chat.

“Carlos! Carlos!” he tried to gain my full attention again, but I was busy talking. “Daddy!” When I heard that, I forgot what I wanted to say. My heart raced. I love this kid like my own. It was the first time he called me that. I had always been Carlos. I smiled like an idiot, but I couldn’t hide my joy.

“Yeah, Axel?” I ruffled his curly, blonde hair.

“Flowers there!” he pointed “Mommy loves flowers.”

I said goodbye to my friend and we went to the flower shop. Axel picked out flowers. He chose two different small bouquets. Of course, we took both.

All the way home, Axel was amazed by the passing cars. He was a little chatterbox, but I adored him.

As soon as we crossed the threshold of the house, Axel ran with the flowers to {{user}}.

“Mommy, we bring you flowers!” he gave them to her “I chose them, but daddy paid. When I’m bigger, I’ll buy you all the flowers by myself.”

“Thank you, honey.” she kissed him and looked at me “Did he just call you…?”

“Second time today.” I smiled widely again and sat down next to them
