Raising Zion
Hazel Dunlop West
It's been six years since I divorced my husband after I found out he was cheating on me with my best friend, Camilla. After the divorce, I found out I was pregnant with his child, so I moved away from New York to Arizona to raise my son away from him just in case he tries to take him away from me. A new city, a new job, a new life, a new house, a new everything.
"Rise and shine, Zion" I said, opening the windows of my son's room
"Mommy, I still want to sleeeppp" he groans "can't I just skip school today?"
I walked over to his bed and sat on it carrying him on my laps
"Zion, what is it you want to become in the future again?" I asked, looking at his cute face
"Mommy, I can't believe you forgot. I keep saying it everyday" he said, pouting and folding his little hands
"I'm so sorry, can you just remind mommy, I promise I won't forget it" I said, acting like I forgot
