My daughter and son

My name is Judy, currently I’m 37. I have a son, Ralph who is 17 right now and a newborn daughter Angel, who is only 9 months old now. They have different dads if you didn’t figure that out, his dad died when he was 8 and her dad just ran off and kind of never came back about the time when Angel was born. Ever since Angel was born, Ralph has been wonderful, even though he never really liked her father. He feeds her, gives her baths and about a million other things too. It was summer break, so I at least had Ralph to take care of little Angel when I had to work. I came in house when Ralph was chilling with her on the couch on one Friday afternoon.

“So are you and your little girlfriend?” I asked.

“You are so funny mom, like Whitney Cummings funny,” Ralph replied.

“Well thank you, I guess, is that the Whitney from Whitney?” I asked.

“The very same,” Ralph replied.

Then I gave Angel a kiss on her forehead. I gave Ralph a very big hug from his side, I could never ever let him know just how much I appreciated him, I mean it was like literally impossible.

“Seriously, don’t call her my little girlfriend, it just really sounds weird. I don’t think you are insinuating incest, but it still sounds weird,” Ralph said.

“OK, I’ll keep that in mind,” I replied as Angel got a little fussy.

“Oh, is the little girl hungry now?” I asked.

So he handed her to me and I took my boob out, it was nothing weird about that for some reason, but me calling her his little girlfriend was. I fed Angel for a few minutes, and we still talked.

“So what did you two do today?” I asked.

“Well, we pretty much just lounged around, I fed her, but I couldn’t do it quite like that though,” Ralph replied.

“Well, someday you can be jealous of a wife that will feed your own son of daughter, and your son or daughter will have 2 parents that love them more than anything or anyone on the planet,” I said.

He gave me a kiss on the cheek and we stayed close even though I was still feeding Angel. I couldn’t help but shed a few tears, we were a little family together, of course I didn’t like the fact that he had this responsibility at his age, at 17 he was supposed to be out partying, having a good time, but he didn’t complain or anything else, he just took care of his little sister without question or complaint.

“What, you all done now little girl?” I asked.

So I put my boob away and positioned her right to burp her.

“Hey, why don’t you call up some friends and go out tonight, you can have the car to go have some fun,” I said.

“No, that’s OK mom, I’m fine here with you two,” Ralph replied.

“But you do nothing but take care of us two, you deserve at least one night to yourself where there is no poopy diapers, feedings or anything else to worry about. Hell, go out and, you know, get some if you want,” I said.

“Is my own mother really suggesting I go out to get laid?” Ralph asked.

“Well, when you put it like that…” I replied.


He kissed me on the cheek again and stayed close to the two ladies in his life.

“Seriously, you need to have a life sweetie, you have no idea how much I appreciate you taking care of this little girl for me when I have to work, but still, you gotta have some fun every now and again or you’ll just go nuts. I want you to, I want you to have a life outside this house. You mainly only leave to get stuff for her, and that’s it, you can’t just do that forever,” I said.

“But, I don’t need to do anything like, you two are all I need,” Ralph replied.

“Well, if I’m ever gonna get a grandchild, you are gonna need to get laid first. Plus, I would like a daughter in law at some point too, just saying, but you’ll never get either of those if you don’t get out every now and again,” I said.

“Well, what about you? All you do is work and take care of her with me, why don’t you get out every now and then?” Ralph asked.

Somehow I didn’t see that coming, I don’t know why, but I didn’t.

“Alright, fair enough, I’ll get Jenna to babysit tonight, and we’ll both go out tonight,” I said.

“You got a date then,” Ralph replied.

So as Angel burped, I put her down for a nap and called Jenna to come over to babysit, she was more than happy to babysit, she needed some experience, because she out she was 8 weeks pregnant recently. So we left and first went out to dinner, of course nothing fancy, it was a date like that.
“So, senior year is coming, are you excited?” I asked.

“I guess,” Ralph replied.

“You guess? Come on, just one more year and then the whole world is your oyster as they say,” I said.

“Well, I don’t know what I wanna do yet. I mean, you graduate from high school, then what if I don’t get into some big college? I’m not gonna have too much lady luck without some big job,” Ralph replied.

I leaned my arms out and put my hands on his.

“Well, don’t say that, not all ladies are gold diggers, there are some that will see you are the sweetest and most loving guy they’ll ever meet. Money is an issue, but money isn’t everything. You’ll find someone to settle down you love, and loves you back, I promise,” I said.

“Thanks mom,” Ralph replied.

“Your welcome, you know you can talk to me about anything right? I mean everything, if you killed someone and need me to help you get rid of the body, I want you to talk to me about it, and no one else,” I said.

He just gave me a weird look and nodded a bit.

“OK, if I’m ever in that situation, I’ll definitely let you know,” Ralph said.

Then the waitress came over.

“Hello miss, can I get something for you and your… date?” She asked.

“Oh no, this is my son, we’re not together,” I replied.

“Oh, I’m sorry, you two just look like…,” She said.

“It’s alright, I’ll have a diet,” I replied.

“I’ll have a mountain dew,” Ralph said.

She took our drink orders and out food orders too, and the whole time she looked embarrassed, she really did think we were a couple, but no, we were mother and son.
