Chapter 1
Claudius and Leona were happily married and they had plenty of money. Claudius was CEO of Roarson's Tech Inc. The company has been in his family for seven generations.
Claudius and Leona had been wanting a child for some time. Then one day they were going to get their wish.
Leona took a home pregnancy test. It was positive she was pregnant. Claudius came home a bit later. Leona ran up to him with the test.
She showed it to him. Claudius hugged her and kissed her. They were going to have a baby.
When Claudius went to work the next day he was very happy. "Claudius what's going on?" one of the workers asked.
"I just found out I'm going to be a father," Claudius said.
Everyone congratulated him.
Soon Claudius and Leona made a nursery for the baby. They were having a boy so they decided to name him Lion-o. "I can't wait to meet our son," Leona said.
"I can't wait to meet him too," Claudius said.
On a sunny day in August Lion-o was born healthy. Leona was laying bed at the hospital holding him. "He's perfect," Claudius said.
Soon they took Lion-o home. Lion-o's eyes were big and blue just like his parents. Both his mother and father had big blue eyes. Lion-o was starting to doze off. "Looks like the car ride wore him out," Leona said.
Lion-o was placed in his crib to sleep.
Time passed by quickly and Lion-o was now going to school. He was an excellent student. "My little Lion-o is so smart," Leona said.
Leona left cookies and milk for Lion-o everyday after school. Lion-o enjoyed eating his snack while doing his homework. "Lion-o how's the essay coming?" Leona asked.
"Fine, I'm almost finished." Lion-o said.
"Great," Leona said.
Lion-o continued to grow up. Claudius and Leona watched as their boy grew. "He's becoming such a strapping man," Claudius said.
"Yes, if he gets even more handsome I doubt I could keep the girls away from him," Leona said.
Lion-o was now finishing up high school. He was doing well he was very smart. Graduation day came. Claudius and Leona watched as Lion-o went up the stage and got his high school diploma.
Afterwards they came up to him. "Lion-o I'm very proud of you," Claudius said.
"As am I," Leona said. She started to remember when she held Lion-o for the first time. He was so cute and precious where did all time go?
"Mom, you're crying," Lion-o said.
"It's nothing to worry about just nostalgia," she said.
Lion-o began to look at colleges. He got accepted into Starrina Tech. "Mom, Dad I'm going to Starrina Tech." Lion-o said.
"That's pretty far away," Leona said.
"Yes and very fine school," Claudius said.
"Mom, Dad everything will be alright I'll just be a few hours away by car." Lion-o said.
"I know," Claudius said.
"Yes," Leona said with sigh.
"Everything okay mom?" Lion-o asked.
"Yes, it's just I hope you will do fine out there." Leona said.
"I will," Lion-o said.
A bit later Claudius talked to Leona. "Leona we knew this day would come, he's going to be 19, it's not like he's going to be alone some of his friends are going there." Claudius said.
"I know it's just, he's my little boy," Leona said.
"He's not little anymore, we raised him to stand on his own two feet and to be strong, I know he can make it out there," Claudius said.
"I'll miss him," Leona said.
"I'll miss him too but we must support his decision." Claudius said.
"Okay," Leona said.
A few weeks later Lion-o started packing. "Need a hand son?" Claudius asked.
"I got it dad!" Lion-o said.
He packed it all in the car. Leona and Claudius were going to say good bye. Leona smiled at her son. "Oh Lion-o where did all the time go?" Leona asked.
"Right by your eyes," Lion-o said.
"I'm going to miss you son," Claudius said.
"Take care of yourself Lion-o and call us when you get there." Leona said.
"I will bye," Lion-o said hugging them. Lion-o climbed into the car and waved good-bye.
Claudius and Leona waved good-bye. They watched as their son left for college.
