Bzzt! Bzzt!
I sighed.
He got excited again and electrify the river. Oh my. “Quillon! You’ll kill all those fishes, I’m telling you.”
He popped his head out of the water and grinned at me. “I’m sorry, Mommy.” Oh, this young boy! How can I even get mad at him if he knew my weakness too well! I can’t stop admiring how cute my son is when he grins like that!
Damn, my heart is melting!
“Okay, come up here and eat something. You’ve been scaring the fishes for half an hour now.”
“Okay, Mommy!”
It only took him a blink and he was beside me. I didn’t even sense him coming but I got used to it now. Before, I can’t stop halting or my eyes widening because of shock. But its part of his gift. He moves like a mist, like feather in the wind.
“Mom, I think Uncle Seth was affected with my power. He hasn’t come up yet.”
“Oh shi-cheesedog!” I forgot Seth was also swimming at the river to guard on Quillon! Fuck! Was he electrocuted?!
I ran to the riverside and called for him. “Seth! Are you alright?!”
After a long minute, Seth popped out of the water with a dazed face. “That was not fun.” he muttered and shook his head.
“Sorry, Uncle Seth.” Quillon held on my dress, hiding behind me while he held a sandwich on his hand.
“No worries, bud. You almost win there though.” Seth smiled and pat Quillon’s head.
I sighed and urged them to eat now. Aiden was at the pack and I know why he was so busy.
He never stopped looking for the paraiba tourmaline gemstone for straight two months now. He come home at night and took off in the morning. He was so hell-bend on looking for the gem together with Nick, Zeke also helps on the other side.
Aiden still give us time, taking the weekends off. Of course he never let the day pass without teh sleepless nights he promised when I was still pregnant. Oh my, remembering it makes me flush!
And if there’s a person who won’t be swayed by Quillon’s manipulative cuteness, that’s Aiden. Quillon look up to him a lot, he idolize his father and I’m grateful that my son does.
“What game were you playing that you got too excited, baby?”
“Fishing a hundred. Uncle Seth was so good at it because he has large hands.”
Seth burst out laughing, or boasting. Argh. And here I am thinking what might excites Quillon to the point of losing control of his gift.
“You almost beat me though.”
“Yeah, but I lost my cool again.” Aww. Now my baby boy is pouting. He looks so cute!
There are times that Quillon loses control of his power. When he was too mad, too excited or too sad. The child always feel down when he does.
At a young age and mind, he know the danger of being found and he don’t want to harm anyone because of him. I feel bad whenever he is like this, thinking like a grown up man.
I held cheeks and kissed him playfully.
“Mommyyyyy!~” he complains. I laughed.
“You know, baby, its okay to lose control sometimes. As long as you will be reminded of concealing it, you’re good, okay?”
“But Daddy wants me to conceal it. I promised I will help him.”
I will surely kill Aiden later.
I smiled at my child. “You are helping him, baby. You’re doing good. He won’t be mad at you for little mistakes, he loves you.”
“I know he does, Mommy~…”
“Aww, come here, baby!” I squish him inside my arms, in a tight embrace. I thought he will continue his sad emotion but he started laughing.
“Hey, Kill!”
=_= That was Nick!
“Nick, I told you to stop calling him that!” I nagged and gave him a deadly stare. This loveless Beta started giving my son some weird nickname!
I felt Quillon moved to my shoulder and take a peak to who’s coming. Huh! I know him well and he sensed his Daddy coming!
“Daddy!”
I watched as he run towards Aiden. He never use his super-enhanced speed whenever he wanted to go to his father. It was as if he wanted the time to be longer, and I know why.
He miss him truly.
“Hey, little one!” Aiden crouch and picked Quillon up, swinging him in the air.
I felt a warm hand touching my heart and I always feel this whenever I watch the both of them together. My family…
Aiden looked at me and I was immediately drowned by his gaze.
‘I got off early.’ he said in our mind and smiled at me.
These days, I can’t stop myself quivering whenever he give me the ‘look’. You know, that look where you know you’ll both end up in bed. Damnnn!
‘What are you thinking…’ he said in a teasing voice. I can only imagine how I look right now for him to read right through me!
“C-Come eat some snacks!” I called to them, taking my eyes off him. A daddy-Aiden is too much to handle! Much hotter and se*xier in my eyes!
“You’re so transparent.” Seth scoffed. “Go get a room. Aw!”
Serves him right! I just threw a bottle of water in his head, ladies and gentlemen.
I hear Quillon telling stories to his Dad as they came nearer.
“… then I almost electrify Uncle Seth.” I heard him say in a cute guilty voice. I smiled as I prepare more sandwiches for Aiden and Nick. Now, this small swimming of Quillon turned to a picnic.
“Really? You should have try roasting him sometimes.” Aiden laughed.
“Hey! Don’t listen to your father, buddy.” Seth said quickly. “Bad influence.” he said to Aiden with widened eyes. Aiden just laughed as he hugged Quillon who sat on his crossed legs.
Aww. I wanted to cuddle with them so baaaad!
“How’s your treasure hunt, Dad?” our son asked while eating his sandwich. He knows that Aiden was searching for the paraiban tourmaline gem and he also know it will help him conceal his power.
