Sequel: You Know She's in Love With Me ›
Let My Love Open the Door to Your Heart
Birthday
I'm frosting the cake with Mike looking at me.
"Uncle Ryan coming over?" He asks.
"Yes and Aunt Lindsay."
"We having Pawns?"
"Yep with rice and Salad."
"What about Uncle Ryan?"
"He can eat this."
"Ok."
There is knock on the door.
"That's them" I said.
We hear the door opens. I look and see Ryan and Lindsay coming in. Mike runs to them.
"Hey Buddy," Ryan said.
"Hi. Is that my present?"
"Yes that comes after dinner."
"Ok. Mommy making the cake pretty."
I rolled my eyes and put happy birthday on it before going over to Ryan and hug him.
"So I'm going to grill?" Ryan asks.
"Yeah shrimp."
"No Pawns," Mike said.
Ryan looks at me.
"Australia has prawns more than shrimp," I said.
"Right."
I rolled my eyes and grab the bowl and hand them to Ryan.
"Go grill them," I said.
"I help you," Mike said.
"Oh thank you buddy."
I smile at Ryan. Ryan pats my head and walk outside with Mike. I look at the cake wondering if it looks good or not.
Lindsay came in and stops then look at me.
"You did this?" She asks.
"Yeah. How does it look?"
"It looks great. Like you brought it."
"Thanks."
I put it off to the side and look at the rice and see it's almost done.
"You need any help?" She asks.
"Carrying things out when the rice is done beside that it's good."
"Ok."
She came and sits down on the counter.
"How are you doing?" She asks.
"Good."
"Ryan mentioned that you most likely are going to have the surgeries done soon."
"Yeah."
"If you need anything just call us."
"I know."
"We are here to help with whatever you need."
I nod my head at her feeling a little hurt with her pushing their help making me feel it's about money. The rice cooker beeps. I get up and take it off then grab plates and the salad. Lindsay grabs them and I get the rice and go outside.
We eat while listening to Mike telling us about school.
"Present time?" Mike asks.
"What about cake?"
"Present then cake."
I laugh and go inside and grab my present for Mike and then grab the box Ryan brought and set them down in front of Mike.
He opens the box and pulls a bike out of the box.
"What bike is this?" Mike asks.
"They are blank bikes," Ryan said
"Oh so mommy can make people."
"Um."
"Yeah baby," I said.
"Thank you Uncle Ryan. Thank you Aunt Lindsay,” Mike said.
"Welcome buddy,” Ryan said.
He grabs mine and looks at me once it opens.
"What are these?" Mike asks.
"Legos they are like mega blocks,” I said.
"Oh."
He nods his head and grabs the box. I get up and get the cake and we start eating it.
"This is great," Lindsey said.
"Thanks."
She looks at me and shakes her head.
"This is better than the Easter cakes," Ryan said.
"Thank you."
"I want more."
"I pack some to take home."
"Good."
I rolled my eyes and get stuff brought inside. Mike runs to me and I smile at him.
"What is it?" I ask.
"I want to talk about who you paint."
"Um talk to Uncle Ryan or Aunt Lindsay about it and have them write them out or something."
"Ok."
He runs over to Lindsay and hand her paper and he grab the bikes and start looking at people he has.
"Can I use your computer?" Lindsay asks.
I nod my head and go and get it from upstairs and look at her.
"He has his way to do it,” She told me.
"Yep.”
I nod my head and pat her shoulder.
"Have fun. I'm going to go do dishes."
"Ok."
I walk to the kitchen and start doing the dishes and packing things up.
"Hey," Ryan said.
"What up?" I ask.
"Lindsay thinks you might be mad at her. I have to think you are from how you been treating her."
"I don't want to be a charity case."
"You are not."
"I feel like Lindsay wants me to be."
"Did she say anything about money?"
"No but she stress that you guys are here and want to help."
"Jezz she just wants you to know that we are here to help. She can watch him during the week if he can't go to school so you can still work even if it's half a day."
"Right."
He came and hugs me.
"You always been independent but since you been back you been closed off and ask for enough help so we don't tell you that we miss you," Ryan said.
"Ok."
He sighs and looks at me.
"You will ask for help when you need it right?" He asks.
"Of course Ryan."
"If there something you need to just talk about to get it out to process it better call me or Lindsay ok?"
"I know."
He looks at me and sighs.
"I worry about you breaking down like you did," Ryan said.
"Ryan you know that had nothing to do with you right?"
"It happen when I came home both times."
I sigh and go and hug Ryan.
"Trust me my breakdowns had nothing to do with you," I said.
He looks at me and kisses my forehead.
"You broke down because of Dad," Ryan said.
"He was never supported of me keeping Mike. I'm always afraid that he won't ever accept Mike as his grandson fully because of it. I dealt with it."
He nods his head and walks to the end of the kitchen then look at me.
"If Dad told you that he wanted you to stay home or offer to help you if you came move out here would you have gone to Australia?" He asks.
"I wanted to prove to mom that I could do it on my own and didn't need any help. So it's come hard to ask for help."
"Ok got it."
I nod my head and hug Ryan.
"You were worried about Mike's reaction with your presents,” She said.
"I got Waffle blocks, I think they are like four times the size me and Blake played with and worried that I wasted 400 dollars and them."
"They are great no Dungey can say no to those form 2 years old and older."
I laugh and Ryan leads us to the living room see Mike looking at his pit set up holding a Suzuki.
"I don't know," Mike said.
"Ivan Tedesco?" Ryan said.
"He wode yellow Bike?"
"Yeah."
"Ok him Aunt Lindsay. Numbew nine."
"Got it Buddy we are all done,” Lindsay said.
I grab the computer and see a list and read the names and see that most of them are 250 guys and guys who are mainly of the guys from other countries like Bert Metcalf.
"This is a good list. I can do these but it will take a while,” I said.
"That's ok mommy,” He said.
I nod my head and Lindsay stands up.
"We get out so you can put him to bed," Lindsay said.
" Thank you for doing this for him and me," I said.
"No problem."
We all hug and I lock the door after they leave. I go upstairs and put Mike to bed.
"Uncle Ryan coming over?" He asks.
"Yes and Aunt Lindsay."
"We having Pawns?"
"Yep with rice and Salad."
