BEEP BEEP BEEP.

My alarm sounded at 7:30 in the morning. Today was the day, I was finally picking up my life in Toronto and moving to the Big Apple: New York. I had finally landed a journalist job with great pay and guaranteed day-care for Adam, my son. My beautiful baby born five years ago who was and still is the greatest blessing I could ever ask for.

"Mommy." I heard his voice from the other room he must have woken up to my alarm as well.

"Yes sweetie?" I said softly walking into his room. I saw him sitting up on his bed, rubbing his eyes. "Why are you awake?"

"I was hoping it was time to go already," he said with an excited tone. I was happy he was excited. I did not want to just pick up and move if it wasn't okay with him, but at the same time I did not want this amazing opportunity to pass.

Telling my mom was the hardest. She has helped me so much the past 6 years, from the beginning of the pregnancy to now. Although she is sad her grandchild and I will be leaving, she knows I'll always come back home when I can.

"We are leaving in four hours." I said holding up four fingers. " That means I you can sleep for another two!" I said as excited as I could in the morning. Adam made the cutest gasp of excitement before putting his head back to the pillow and closing his eyes. I walked back to my room to finish up my last minute packing and take a shower. All the while I was getting nervous for finally making the move, and doing what I've always wanted to do.

"Honey!" my mom running out of the house to my cab where I was putting the bags in and Adam all situated. "Don't forget to call as soon as you get to your new condo!" she paused "And when you land!" another pause, "And as soon as you need me over there I can be there!" She smiled. I could tell her was sad to see me go. I leaned in to hug her as tight as I could. "I love you," I said holing back tears.

"Adam," I motioned to him, "come give you grandma a great big hug because it will be a while before we see her again okay." He ran up to her and jumped in he arms. I smiled and took as picture as he told her he loved her.

We jumped in the cab and drove off. I was excited for this new adventure and couldn't wait to be there. The only thing I was really nervous about was seeing Eli again. He was not my best friend or even a friend anymore, but we were there for each other if we needed it. He helped me find my condo close by my work so he would be picking up Adam and I from the airport and taking us there. I figured it made more sense since he had a car and I wouldn't have to pay for cab fare.

At this point I wasn't sure how smoothly this would go over, but what I did know was that this flight couldn't be long enough to prepare me for what I was about to endure.

The worst part of flying internationally was all the paperwork. I absolutely hated the long lines and how busy the international terminal was. After the flight getting my bags was the easy part. Adam was pretty well hooked on his favorite movie "Finding Dory". After getting through all the customs it was time for Adam and I to wait with our many bags for Eli. The nerves were eating me up at this point. The sun in New York was bright. It was a very nice bright day after all. I was soaking up the New York City sun when I heard my name. I looked up to see standing before me, Elijah Goldsworthy, my Eli. Well he wasn't my Eli anymore. After he found out I was pregnant with Drew's baby he refused to talk to me and we didn't talk for many years. However I never told him that Drew and I got a DNA test done after Adam came out of the womb looking like Eli. However now five years later he still doesn't know Adam is his son. I was hoping we could fix this and maybe even patch up our relationship.

"How was your flight?" he asked walking up to me and taking my heavier bags from my arm.

"Short, surprisingly." I paused "I'm just happy to finally be here and get all settled in." He smirked at me and got my trolley of checked bags and started pushing them to his car.

"And who is this?" he asked smiling already knowing the answer. "You must be Adam." Adam then run behind me to hide by my legs.

"He is a little shy meeting new people." I laughed, "Nothing like his father." Eli's smile then faded. He began putting the bags in the trunk of his small car making them fit.

"How is…Drew," he said with a slight pause. "I mean how are you two going to handle the care for Adam with him in Toronto?"

"Well its funny you ask because that's actually something I was going to mention" I said pausing trying to find the right words. "You see Eli, Adam is…"

"Eli, Darling!" a voice emerged from the passenger seat of the car. "Honey, I know you're helping out a friend from high school but I'm going to be late for my appointment with the florist" a olive skinned tall skinny girl with long brunette hair wearing rather large sunglasses spoke to Eli. "How much longer will this take?" She asked impatiently. He then whispered something into her ear and she nodded unhappily before making their way over to Adam and I.

"Clare this is Sabrina, my fiancé."

Well that escalated quickly if i do say myself! Please review and or favorite if you enjoyed! Talk to you soon!
