Best Places to Be a Mom

Alexs POV:
I woke up the next morning to my phone blasting, it startled me and i rushed to answer it. It was my mom saying she wanted to go out for breakfast and then take me shopping and to get ready because she was coming. I got showered and dressed and when i was putting my shoes on i heard her honk her horn, i finished getting my shoes on and ran out to the car and got in.

"Hey" i said

"Hey sweetie, you excited?" she asked pulling away from the curb

"Not really. I have no idea where your taking me after breakfast" i said

"I want you to help me find a crib" she said

"Mom maybe we should do this with Melody" i said

"I wanna surprise her" she said

"Oh" i said

"Yes" she said

"Well were not sure what were having, i dont think we'll find out for a while. So wont it be hard to pick the perfect one?" i asked

"We can pick out the two you think are good. One that would be girly and one that would be good for a boy. Then call me whenever you know and i'll take it from there" she said

"Fine" i said

"Great. I personally hope you guys have a girl, i never got the chance to have a daughter so it would be nice" she said and i scoffed

"Well i can see that you love me, thanks mom" i said sarcastic

"I do love you, so much. Your my world. And you'll always be my baby boy even though your in your twenties and are gonna be a father" she said running her hand through my hair

We went out to breakfast and it was nice, i dont hangout with my mom much so i was happy i was. After breakfast we went over to babies r' us to look at cribs. We went over to the crib section and there was tons, this was gonna be hard.

"Well this should be a breeze" i said sarcastic

"Its good that theres lots, gives you options" she said

"True" i said nodding

"So what were you thinking that you guys wanted?" she asked

"Well. I guess white if its a girl and that dark brown if its a boy" i said

"You had a white crib" she said

"Yeah but white is better for a girl" i said

"Thats true. Now we need somthing that this baby wont be able to get out of" she said

"The kid wont be able to escape their crib for a while. Plus, what makes you think our baby will be a escape artist?" i asked

"Well you were. Always jumping out of that damn crib and you smacked your face on the floor twice. Your grandmother wanted to call social services because of the bruises that caused" she said

"Guess i was just a badass baby" i said

"You were a handful" she laughed

"Is smacking my face on the floor the reason my nose has a little scar on the side?" i asked

"No that was from walking into a doorframe when you were two" she said

"Damn!. I was one clumsy little fuck, huh?" i said

"You were cute" she said

"Mhm, what about this crib?" i asked pointing to a crib

"Hmm...nope" she said looking at it

"Why?" i said

"Because its got that collapsible side, you need one without that" she said

"Fine" i said

After looking for a little while longer we found the perfect one, and thankfully it wasnt a insane price. After we left the store my mom told me she had a box of my old toys in her trunk. We got back to my house i and took the box inside and to the babys room. I looked through it and was surprised, there was a lot. A little while later i heard the front door open and heard footsteps, i looked up and Jack appeared in the doorway.

"Hey" he said

"Hi" i said

"Whats all this?" he asked picking up a teddy bear

"My mom gave me all my old toys" i said

"Wow. How much of this will the kid be able to use at first?" he asked sitting next to me on the floor

"Not much. This is all shit that i probably used at like 5 months" i said

"Yeah, not to mention its been in the attic for probably like more then twenty years. Its probably nasty and growing shit on it" he said

"Thanks for that" i said making a face at a toy i was holding and i tossed it to the side

"Do you really want your kid to use your old toys?" he asked

"Maybe. If there usable, like not broken" i said

"Or covered in dysentery" he said

"That to. But i doubt that out of all bacterias, that would be on anything in here" i laughed

"You never know" he said

"Dirty water is how you get that" i said

"Well. You never know, that shit might be smart" he said and i sighed

We dug through the rest of the stuff, everything looked okay but i know it needed to be washed. I put everything in the box and pushed it into the kitchen. While i was pulling things out of the box to be washed the door opened, i looked over and Melody walked in.

"Babe!" i said

"Hey, whats all this?" she asked

"Toys. My old toys to be specific, my mom gave them to me" i said

"Nice" she said

"Yep. Why are you home so early?" i asked

"I got sick" she said

"Aww" i said

"Mhm. So what are you two doing?" she asked

"Well were just cleaning off the nasty invisible shit thats probably been growing on this stuff" Jack said dropping a toy in the sink, we filled one side of the sink with bleach

"Why dont we just not use these?" she suggested

"Why not?. This shits in perfect condition" i said

"Its old, nobody uses these toys anymore" she said

"Thats why we should have them for our baby!" i said

"No Alex. Besides, even though your washing these toys. I dont think i can get over the bacteria its collected" she said

"See dude!, i told you!. Dysentery" Jack said

"I'll fucking give you dysentery" i said

"Alex" Melody sighed

"What!?" i said

"Get rid of these, seriously. Our kid cannot use these!" she said

"Says you" i said

"Alex nobody gives their kids their old toys, its just not how things work. Time to let it go" she said

"Well im keeping this batman. Rest of the stuff can go downstairs" i said

"You and your hoarder ways need to get a fucking grip. Get rid of this Alex" she said

"Whatever" i said and she walked away

"Hah, she called you a hoarder" Jack said

"Fuck you" i said
