Chapter 1
Eric hurried through the airport with his new born son, Brayden, in his arms, and his back-pack with all his belongings was on his back. He was desperately trying to find his plane, which he was supposed to be boarding now. Brayden gave a little whimper as he was being jerked around by Eric’s fast, heavy springing footsteps. Eric slowed down a little and gently kissed his sons little, almost bald (except for a few brown hairs) forehead.
"I love you." He whispered as he continued to hurry through the airport.
Soon he spotted the boarding gate, and gave the lady standing there his ticket. She checked it, and before he knew it, he was in his seat and Brayden was sitting next to him nibbling on his seat belt.
"Brayden, don’t eat the seatbelt." He groaned as he gently removed it from his mouth.
Brayden looked up at him, with his deep brown eyes, and Eric thought about how much he looked like his mother, Natalia. He was so adorable he had gorgeous brown eyes, soft brown hair, chubby pink cheeks, and a button nose. He also had this unbelievable sense of humor at such a young age, which amazed Eric beyond life itself. Suddenly he felt his eyes get hot and prickly at the thought of Natalia. He couldn’t believe that she had left him and Brayden for another man. How could she? They were supposed to raise Brayden together, as a family.
**********************************************
Earlier that day, Eric had come home to Natalia’s mothers house (which was where they were living at the time) and he was shocked to see her sitting on the couch, in the lounge room with all his belongings in a bag.
"Am I g-going somewhere?" He had asked feeling slightly confused.
"Unfortunately, you are." She replied pushing the bag into his arms.
"You have to leave Eric."
"What?" He said as he stumbled backwards from where she had pushed the bags into his arms.
"She’s not in love with you." She replied as she burst out into tears.
"What are you talking about!" Eric asked as he sat down beside her putting his arm around her in a comforting manor.
"Natalia, she doesn’t l-love you." She sobbed into her hands.
"What?! Of course she loves me, and she loves Brayden. We’re a family."
"She doesn’t love you Eric. She’s left California to live with her new boyfriend in New York." She replied in squeaky scared voice.
"She left! When did she leave?"
"L-Last night."
"What about Brayden? How am I ever going to see him?" Eric asked feeling his face getting hotter and hotter with rage.
"Natalia left him here."
"She didn’t take Brayden?" He said raising an eyebrow.
"She told me she doesn’t want a family with you."
"Let me guess, she wants a family with her new boy-friend? This is GREAT!....... Sure, I mean we’re both young, but we both agreed we could make this work. For Brayden’s sake." He yelled angrily.
"Please don’t yell." She cried.
He took a deep calming breath, and he heard a little whimper come from Brayden’s room.
"I have to leave." He said as he stood up from the couch and walked hastily into Brayden’s bedroom. She stood up, and followed him.
"I’ve booked you a ticket to go to Miami to live with your mom." She said as she began to pack a baby bag with diapers and bottles.
"Already?" Eric asked suspiciously as he picked up Brayden out of his crib, and held him close to his chest.
She stopped packing and looked up at him nervously.
"Uh, yeah, I was thinking ahead."
"Yeah, right." He replied suddenly feeling very insecure.
There was an awkward silence as she began to pack the last few things in the bag. She handed it to Eric.
"Here you go." She said almost sounding relived and happy.
"Your plane leaves in an hour. You better get going." As she walked to the door and opened it.
***********************************************
Eric’s thoughts were interrupted by his sons cheerful cry.
"Bah Bah!" Brayden squealed as the plane slowly began to drive down the runway.
He pointed out the window excitedly and drool began to dribble down his chin, out of his open mouth.
"Yeah, were moving." Eric smiled at his sons excitement. He then leaned over and gently patted down Brayden’s brown hairs that were sticking straight up.
"This is your pilot speaking; please turn off all cell phones and electronic equipment. Fasten your seatbelts, and we hope you have a pleasant trip with American Airlines."
Eric took a deep breath as he wondered what the future would bring. What was he supposed to do with Brayden? He needed a mother, everyone needs a mother. What was he supposed to do about Natalia? Should he contact her? Or does she have no right to even have a part in Brayden’s life at all?
Please let me know what ya'll think!!!!!! More to come so let me know what yall think!

You captured Eric's confusion about the situation very well. I can just see his brow furrowing and having that "what the heck is going on?" look on his face. The poor guy never saw this coming. Brayden sounds adorable.
