Natalia Walker's Point of View: (5 years later)
"Wake up mommy"
"Wake up"
"It's my first day of school"
I jumped up out of bed when I heard the words that flew out of my son’s mouth. I slowly rubbed my hands on my eyes trying to get rid of the sleep in them. I looked over to my son who was silently staring at me in amusement. I swear he is too old for his age. I smiled at my baby earning a grin from him.
"Come here L," I smiled using the nickname I gave him ever since he was born.
I watched as he ran over to me and tried to climb up on the bed. He already knew that he couldn't climb up on his own, but he always tried. His steely determination reminds me so much of his father. Even now, years later he still has the ability to make me cry. Keeping the tears at bay I grabbed onto his small arms pulling him up on the bed and into my lap.
"You ready for your first day of school sweetheart?" I asked already knowing the answer.
He looked up at me, his big brown eyes bright with excitement, "yes mommy I'm ready, I'm a big boy now"
I smiled to myself pulling him close to me. Unfortunately Luke was the spitting image of his father. The day he was born was one of the happiest and also saddest days of my life. When Chase kicked me out of his life, I knew that I would forever have a reminder of him, I just didn't think that they would look so alike, especially since he's just four years old. So instead of just a reminder I see Chase every day that I see Luke.
I didn't realize that I was crying until I felt Luke wipe the tears away. He’s so caring and sweet
"Why are you crying mommy?" he asked.
"It's nothing," I smiled through the tears "it’s just that I'm going to miss you so much"
"Don't cry mommy," he hugged me tightly "I'm going to miss you too"
I kissed his cheeks in thanks. I smiled as he giggled. He really is a good boy.
"Let's get you ready," I jumped out of bed hoisting him up into my arms.
"Yay!"

"Be good for the teacher," I said to Luke as he nodded his head enthusiastically.
His excitement was contagious as I pulled him in for a quick hug glad that he wasn't one of the kids that would pull away just because we were at school. It would break my heart if he did.
"I love you honey," I whispered into his ear pulling away so I could get a good look at him.
"Love you too mommy," he grinned kissing me on the cheek.
"Off you go"
Not needing to be told twice Luke ran off into the classroom. I stood behind the door watching him as he took a seat talking to a little blonde girl. My baby, a charmer already. Chuckling softly to myself I exited the school building and pulled out my car keys. Opening the front door, I climbed in the car and put the key in the ignition after closing the door.
Pulling onto the road I drove straight home not stopping anywhere. When I reached home, I got my things together and exited the car. I made sure that it was locked and turned to walk up the steps to the front door. I looked up to the house a gasp escaping my lips when I saw someone who I thought I’d never see again.
