When I went to tuck Dalton for bed, I met him sleeping already, and with the gift toy Aaron had gifted him, I try to remove his little paws from squeezing tightly onto him, but his hands and child grip were so strong that I was unable to let him free...
Eventually while trying, he woke up.
"Mom, what are you doing here,?".
He keeps the toy right next to him on the bed as he seats down and faces me...

"Nothing happened son," I look at the door, and mom walks right in; eventually she had this thought in her head to invite Aaron for a dinner night with the three of us and by that, she met, herself, her grandson and me, her daughter...
I shouldn't be accepting but, she couldn't have picked out the worse place to ask me this; not when Dalton is around, I cannot let him know that Aaron would be coming home...

As I presumed, I didn't even get a chance to talk with mom, Dalton raises from his bed, and jumps on it, screaming Aaron's name.
He was happy and I was a little bit scared....... Washing him do this.

"Mom, please allow uncle Aaron to come to have dinner with us,?".
He walks up to me, " please".

I turned to mom, she was grinning with so much pleasure as Dalton kept on insisting.
He did that until I had no choice but to accept, mom's request by inviting Aaron to a dinner night.

"Fine, Aaron is invited,". I said and turned to mom too," no drama, of Aaron arrives, deal,?".

Immediately mom shook my hands and without turning to look back a second time, what's happening?
Why's mom eager in bringing Aaron home for dinner?.. I'm curious.

Dalton left for his bedroom. Mom looks away as well when I grabbed her hand.

"What happened?," She turns to me
"Tell me, something mom, what were you thinking, when you used my son into making me accept, inviting his dad home,".
I replied. Reliving her from my tight grip.
Mom laughed. She asked if I don't recall what she had said to me.
Truth is; she remembers.

The next morning. I got to the office so early, mom promised to help me get Dalton dressed for school.
My boss, Ian asked me to bring in some important documents for him.
I went to his office and while talking to him, mom sent me a text message.

I opened my phone just to find a photo of Dalton and Aaron, with the caption, stage one of my plan.

Mr. Ian saw me staring at my phone, he asked if everything was okay.
I had to lie there was some emergency at Dalton's school which needed my attention.
Mr . Ian just looked at his watch. 
And right there, gave me the whole day off.

I thanked him and left immediately.

On my way to Dalton's school, I tried phoning mom.
But for some strange reason, she kept on disconnecting my call.
I packed at the front of the school.
I walked to his classroom when the class teacher informed me that my son was at the principal's office with his father.
Father?  Aaron is here.

Having that thought on my mind, I stormed into the principal's office without knocking.

"Miss Samantha, Is everything okay?".
The principal asked

I motioned with my hands, startled by the manner in, which Dalton sat on Aaron's lap.

Mom gets up from her chair and thanked the principal for the opportunity.

"What opportunity?"
I faced her immediately.

Mom explained that the school was having a father-and-son day competition and that Dalton was now fond of Aaron.
She decided to have them paired to join in the competition.

Has my mom gone insane?
Last night, she made me accept allowing Aaron to come home for dinner, today she's permitting them to join in a school competition, behind my back.

Is she literary, trying to make me go nuts?..
