Monster under the bed

This is very short, but cute. Have fun. :)

"Daddy, Daddy!" Sol Noose screamed. His father Fin woke up immediately. Sleep drunk he went to Sol's bedroom. Fin switched on the light. His son was sitting up in bed. His blue grey eyes were huge. "Are you alright, Sol?" Fin rubbed his eyes. He was bone tired. "Daddy!" Before Fin knew his miniature copy was out of bed and hugged tightly to his legs. Sol was four. His light ash blond hair stood in every direction. Fin picked up Sol. He thought his son was getting heavy. "So, little man, what's going on?" "There's a monster under the bed!" "Oh, I see." Fin thought for a moment how to deal with the situation. "Okay, let's get this over with. Can you get me your baseball bat?" Sol nodded. It was made with lilac plastic and not especially sturdy. When Sol returned with the bat, Fin stretched his hand out to take it. He lifted the bed cover carefully and looked. "Hm, seems to be gone for the moment, but I have a very good spell to make sure it's not going to bother you anymore." Fin promised. "Really?" "Really." Fin replied re-assuring. He had problems staying serious. "Okay...." Fin thought for a moment before he had come up with a rhyme. "Bad, bad monster go away! Go back to where you came from. It's much nicer over there. Swoosh! And it's gone - never to return!" It calmed Sol, who looked at his father in awe and believed him. Fin read a story to Sol and soon the little boy was asleep. His monster never haunted him again. He later remembered the incident fondly and used the same "spell", when his own children had nightmares.

Who is the Mama? A different scenario

This is more what I had originally in mind. If you like, you can leave feedback which one you prefer. :)

At the play ground Stephanie Hatch and Samantha Flanagan watched the new arrivals. They came to the conclusion that the adult accompanying the little boy was the nanny, because she was Hispanic, and he was blond and didn't look anything like her. They followed them at each visit and were disgusted, when they once heard the boy called his nanny Mommy and spoke a mix of Spanish and English. The parents of the little one didn't spend too much time with him and he didn't learn proper English. It was a shame!

One day Samantha and Stephanie arrived later. The nanny and little Sol were already there. Sam and Stevie had overheard the nanny call the boy by this name. Sol was playing in the sand box, while nanny was reading a book - trash as the two ladies assumed. Suddenly a blond man approached the nanny from behind and put his hands on her shoulders, kissing her throat. Sol had seen, who had arrived and came running, shouting: "Daddy! Daddy!" The resemblance couldn't have been stronger. Sol looked exactly like his dad. The blond man stepped away from the bench, knelt down and opened his arms wide to catch the little boy and give him a kiss.
Stevie and Sam had to revise their assumption, because the man and the "nanny" kissed each other and left holding hands together with Sol. It seemed the lady was really Sol's mother.
