Chapter 1

"Daddy can you get my book from the top shelf please? I cannot reach it" Alex called softly coming into his parents' bedroom.

His Daddy looked up from his grandfather's journal. "Why don't you ask Papa sport?" he replied.

"Papa told me not to disturb him when he's working. Loudly" Alex muttered making sure his Daddy heard the 'loudly' part clear.

His Daddy sighed, "Alex, Papa did not mean to be rude kiddo. You know better than to disturb him while he's working".

"But I did not!" Alex wailed frustrated, "I only asked him to take a look at my drawing." He paused, "He used to love my drawing before", and he said softly, a little hurt at his Papa's recent lack of recent towards his drawing.

"Alex come here" his Daddy called and Alex more than willingly climbed up the bed and sat on his Daddy's side, leaning on his shoulder. His Daddy closed the journal, kept it aside and carded his fingers through Alex's hair.

"Your Papa still loves your drawing honey. Why do you think he doesn't like them anymore?" his Daddy asked him slowly.

Alex took a deep breath and closed his eyes, as he wrapped one arm around his Daddy's middle. "I don't know. He always seems mad at me", he confessed whispering.

It's been a couple of weeks since Alex had the feeling. Ever since his Papa came back from the hunt, which he had gone alone, something was different about him. Alex was no mind-reader but he was pretty smart for a six year old to know the difference between fine and weird. And that was exactly how his Papa has been behaving ever since the hunt – weird. It's not like his Papa to yell at him or talk to him in a raised voice and definitely not scolding him for disturbing his work. No! His Papa was so fond of his drawings; he was so fond of family. He loved Alex and his Daddy so much. But this new Papa of his was anything but. His Papa would act all strange in front of him most of the time, but surprisingly he would act like his old self when his Daddy's around. Alex just couldn't put his finger where exactly the problem laid.

He heard his Daddy sigh loudly and felt him press a soft, doting kiss on his crown.

"Alex, Papa needs to find as much information as he can, regarding a case, which is why he is working most of the time. Doesn't mean he is mad at you kiddo. You know how your Papa can be when he is engrossed in his work" he reasoned, "If you need help with getting your book, you should go ask him, I'm sure he wouldn't mind kiddo".

Alex huffed, "He scolded me and told me not to disturb him with stupid things".

"He did not mean to scold you Alex. And that was yesterday. He wouldn't scold you anymore honey. He said sorry to you, right?" his Daddy said in his soft voice.

Alex pursed his lips, "Yeah he did. But….." he sighed "I don't wanna ask him again. I am scared of him. You please get the book for me Daddy, please?" he turned on the puppy-eyes.

His Daddy closed his eyes and pinched the bridge of his nose. Alex hated worrying his Daddy but he really was scared of his Papa.

"Alex you really should not be scared of your father. He is your Papa. He's here to protect you, he won't hurt you kiddo" he reasoned, then winced slightly as he shifted a little, "Daddy isn't feeling very well kiddo. Please? Ask your Papa?" he said sadly.

And Alex couldn't say no more. He did not want to cause his Daddy further discomfort than he already was in.

Sighing, he said a soft "okay" and slid down from the bed. He was almost at the door when his Daddy called him.

"Baby wait" he stopped and turned to find his Daddy moving towards the edge of the bed slowly and then struggling to stand up even more slowly. Alex went back and helped him stand properly. Once standing, his Daddy moaned a little rubbing at his back, and Alex felt guilt eating away his insides.

"Sorry Daddy" he mumbled hugging his father around the waist.

"Shush Alex it's alright. Not your fault baby" his Daddy rubbed soothing circles on his little back.

"Are you upset at Daddy kiddo?" he asked cupping his face in his hands.

Alex instantly shook his head 'no' and once again buried his face in his Daddy's side.

His Daddy stood there for a while, comforting him, before pulling back.

"Let's go get your book then yeah?" he smiled.

Alex grinned back and nodded excitedly as he took his Daddy by his hand and lead the way.
