Chapter 0199
I struggle, but finally kneel before him.
“Honey, what’s wrong?” I ask gently as I touch his arm softly.
The moment he hears my voice, he lunges at me. His arms circle my neck and he holds on for dear life. I fall on my butt on the soft carpet and end up sitting with him in my arms.
“Baby, talk to me…” I plead while rubbing his back.
1–I just don’t understand. You’re a great mother and you live with Noah. He told me that you and his dad
aren’t together, but you still love him so much. So why does my mother not love me?” he hiccups.
Struggling to get the words out.
My heart goes to him. I hold him close to me. Hoping that he can feel my love for him radiating from me.
“I’ve only met her once. She doesn’t want to see me or be near me. Am I a bad boy? Does she hate me so much? I just don’t understand why she doesn’t love me” he cries.
I can’t stop the tears that run down my face. I feel my heart squeeze. My throat bobbles as I try to contain my emotion. I pull him even closer. As if I could absorb his pain and take it into my own body.
“Dad say I am not a bad boy and I’ve tried my best to always be good, but she still doesn’t want me. It hurts, Ava. It hurts so much in here” he lets go of me for a while then pounds on his chest.
I grasp his hand in mine and stop his actions. I kiss his cheeks, then his forehead, before running my finger down his cheek.
“I don’t have all the answers to your questions, but I know you’re a great little boy. It may not mean much, but I love you, Gunner, just as much as I love Noah. If I were to have another son, then I would probably pray to the heavens that it would be you.” I take a breath before continuing.
“Don’t ever doubt yourself, honey. We may not know your mother, but it’s her loss because you’re awesome, and we’re so glad you came into our lives. Never put yourself down, Gunner. Ever. Because there are people who love you so much.”
You mean that? You love me?” He asks timidly, making the need to find his mother and beat the crap out of her rise within me.
