Brenna explained as they sat down, "When I was living in Norview, I met his mother. She was pregnant and had severed ties with her family, managing everything by herself. I was also going through a tough time, so we ended up sharing an apartment. After Patrick was born, I bechis godmother, and his mother went back to work. We took turns looking after him based on our schedules. It continued like that until I cback here. Initially, he called'godmother,' but eventually, he started calling'Mommy' because he felt 'godmother' wasn't intimate enough." Giselle understood the situation but disapproved. "You're not married, and having a child call you Mommy might lead people to think you have a child out of wedlock. It would be better if he didn't call you that." Brenna disagreed. She believed her mother was overthinking the matter.
Shepard said to Brenna, "Your mother is right. His real mother might not appreciate him calling you Mommy. It's important to keep relationships clear. He already has a mother; calling you Mommy is confusing. And what about his father? If you're his Mommy, what does that imply about your relationship with his father?"
Brenna responded, "You're right, Dad. I'll talk to him about this tomorrow." "Which family is he from?" Shepard asked.
"He belongs to the Russell family," Brenna answered. "Dad, please don't mention this to Mr. Russell. The Russell family is unaware of the child's existence. The boy takes his mother's last name."
