A Moment in Destiny

"Ocean, you are just like me, you were abandoned by your parents, right?" Daniel said to the puppet dolphin.

Ocean is the name Daniel gave his dolphin, "You were also abandoned by your mom and dad, they don't like you, it's because you weren't a good kid, right?"

Sherry's heart trembled abruptly when she heard what her son said, so, what happened yesterday really caused a shadow on him?

William watched Daniel with his dark and deep eyes, his lips twitched, and sighed, then he felt stuffy, and his throat was itching him.

"Ocean, you have it worse than me, I still have my Sherry Mommy, she loves me dearly, I only have her, I don't need my own dad or mom, I only want Sherry Mommy. Ocean, you are all alone, I am sorry about that, why don't I be your dad?"

Sherry's heart ached horribly, her eyes were filled with tears, she almost sobbed.

William wrapped his arm around her shoulder to support her.

"Ocean, I will be your dad, you won't need anyone else, I have Sherry, and you have me, we are all children with a family now, right?"

Sherry could not control herself anymore and ran towards Daniel,"Dan !"

Daniel slowly raised his head, and saw Sherry, he looked as if he was doubting her being there, "Mom, what are you doing here?"

Sherry was always busy, she never visited him at the kindergarten during lunch break, why was she here that day? He looked up, and saw William coming to him, then he greeted, "Uncle!"

"Son!" Sherry picked him up and held him in her arms, "You will never be abandoned, I will always be there for you, silly boy, you are my child, why do you not believe me!"

"But... you will want your own children, then when I will have little brothers and sisters... "He once saw William holding Sherry, he thought, maybe Sherry would get married one day.

Sherry's heart trembled again, when she will have her own children! Yeah! She did have her own child, but she will never leave Daniel. "Even if I have my own, there is only one Daniel! Nobody will be able to take your place!"

Daniel looked down, as if he was thinking about something, then, Sherry heard him saying, "Mom, I know now, I am the only Daniel, and Ocean is also the only Ocean!"

But she never saw the innocence of a five year old in his face again!

"Daniel, let's go to the playground, why don't we?" William picked him up, and said to Sherry, "Daniel's Mommy, you should go and ask for a day off at the teachers room!"

"Oh, yeah, I am going right now!" Sherry suddenly felt that it was right to come and see the kid today, the issue had a big impact on the child, and she didn't take the time to be with him, he was so lonely, and she really didn't do what she needed to.

"Uncle, don't you need to work?" Daniel asked while looking at William.

"I am the boss, whatever I say counts, and I say today I don't have to work!"

"But Mom isn't working for you anymore!"

"I will ask for a day off for her!"
