The Break Up

(A short little story I thought of after a play date)

“It’s not personal baby” Sara said as she helped Sam unpack

They had been dating since freshmen year of high school and now after 10 long years it was over.

“I just need someone more mature” she said as she finished unpacking his things into his new closet
Sam didn’t say anything just finished packing up his diplomas and suits.

“It’s not that I don’t love you, I’ll always love you” Sara said “but this change will be best for the both of us”

He taped the box and pushed it out the door into the hall as Sara began making his bed.

Everything happened so quickly, she found his search history and his chats with online Mommies
She wasted no time in confronting him, they fought and argued and tears were shed

They tried to make it work but ultimately they realized it couldn’t.

“Are you listening to me?” Sara asked as she saw Sam was already working on his next box.

She sighed and sat next to him on the floor “I know your afraid about what comes next, but I promise you this is for the best”

The doorbell rang

“That’s Wendy….” She said as she left the room to greet her new girlfriend

Sam’s stomach growled as he prepared to face what comes next.

He thought it would just be the two of them for the rest of their lives, but he was wrong and now it would never be just the two of them.

“Hey there Sammy” Wendy said as she leaned against the doorway looking down at him as he finished packing his final box. “Are you finished?”
Sam nodded and Wendy picked up the box “I’ll go put this in the van”

It seemed just yesterday that Sara started dating Wendy and now Wendy had taken his place in the bedroom and the house.

“Okay looks like everything is packed up and ready to move” Sara said Sam nodded in agreement

Sara sighed and hooked her finger around the pacifier ring “use you big boy words while you still can” she said.

Sam sighed “yeah everything is packed up”

“Good cause you know what will happen if we find any of your big boy things?”

Sam shuddered and nodded

“Good boy” Sara said as she kissed his forehead and headed off to drop his things off.

As he heard the door close he heard Wendy enter
“Well while Daddy is away how about we get you ready for your first nap in your new bed”

It wasn’t even a bed but a crib a specially designed one.

Wendy sat on the plastic mattress and patted her lap , Sam laid down on her lap as she lowered her top.

He began to suckle and seemed to lose himself as Wendy hummed as she stroked his hair.

Sara couldn’t stay with him as his girlfriend nor could she be his mommy, but she was happy to play the role of daddy with Wendy as his mommy.

Sam didn’t know what he did to become so lucky but as he drifted off to sleep he thanked his stars that he was
