Tough Little Boys

"But!" Jayden immediately stood and hugged Mike's legs. "Wh-what did I do?!" He asked, frightened. He was just a child... all he knew was he loved Alex, Dustin and Mike... he wanted them all...

Mike sighed and picked him up, glaring at Alex and Dustin as he stormed off.
"Baby you gotta live with either me or daddy. Daddy hurt me by being with uncle Dustin and I cant be around him right now sweetness. Now I want you with me...I need you with me Jayden but if youll be happier here then...." Tear cascaded down Mike's cheeks.

"B-but.... but mwomma... I wub all ob ew.." His tiny eyes filled up with tears.

Mike sniffled and kissed Jayden cheek.
"I love them all, and you but baby....I can't...if you dont want me okay, I have been I bad momma, I know and im so sorry...."
He needed his baby.....

"Youw nawt a bad mwomma... but... tan't you just stay at home fow a wittle bit...? Wif me?"

"No...Maybe in a week but you can come with me...." Mike was breaking....

"O-otay mwomma. Whew aw ew going?" He asked.

Mike sighed in relief, hugging Jayden tight.
"Away......"
Mike packed his things, clothes, his tux, anything he wanted, he packed things for Jayden, made sure they had it all before he called them a taxi.

"Aw we going to stay with someone I know?" He asked curiously.

"No Jay, we are going far away." He had to get away...
"Where do you wanna live?"

Jayden frowned.
"I downt know...."
With his daddy...

Mike stopped, looking at Jayden with heartbreak.
Alex was keeping everything....his home....His kids.......His heart....
Mike had nothing....
He unpacked Jayden's things.

"Mwomma... I want to wive with both of ew... I want to do wif you but... I downt want to go faw away...." it scared him. He was just a child...

"Thats why im leaving you here......If you need me.....im in your heart, but you will have the rest of the family." Mike sighed softly.

"But.. youw my mwomma... " He needed his momma. He hled onto his legs.

"Jay....Baby.....You dont wanna leave and im going far away...." Mike sniffled.

"I'w... I'w go wif you..." He sniffled.

Mike frowned and shook his head.
"You dont want to though....I want you with me but im not making you..."

"But I want ew mwomma...." He frowne.

Mike sighed but nodded, repacking his things up. He planned to go out of the country.

Jayden grabbed his mother's hand, squeezing tightly.

Mike had a taxi waiting outside. He packed their things into the trunk before coming back and picking Jayden up.
"Say bye to your father." He let him go before finding Rick and opening his arms.
"Im leaving baby, come give me two-y."

Rick sighed.
"Momma I'm gonna miss you... dont be gone too long." He hugged Mike close.

"Im trying baby, take care of Kevin and Alex for me." He kissed Rick's cheek with a sigh, going to give Alex a peck before picking Jayden up and walking out the door.

Jayden's eyes were teary as he curled into his mother's chest.
