Kurt Stevens and his mom Lori walked into the ice cream shop in good spirits. It was one of those self-serving frozen yogurt ice cream shops. They were Kurt's favourite treat besides strawberry cheesecake. He loved his standing nights with his mom.
Every Saturday they would see a movie in the cinema and then go get ice cream after. They always took turns in choosing the movies they saw. This time it was Kurt's turn to choose which movie to see and he had chosen The Proposal.
"Ryan Reynold was such man candy in that movie!" said Kurt as he put 3 scoops full of snickers on top of his French vanilla and strawberry cheesecake ice cream.
"Oh yes! That man is flawless!"
His mom paid for the ice cream and they sat down at their usual table in the middle of the shop. Kurt took a huge bite of his ice cream and moaned at the taste "God this is heavenly!"
His mom laughed at him. He did this every single time they came there, which was every weekend.
"So what did you think of the movie?"
Kurt thought about it for a minute before he answered
"I liked it. It was lovely."
"Yeah, me too."
Kurt's phone vibrated with a text from his best friend Brandon, asking him if he wanted to hang out.
His mom smiled widely at him
"Go! Have fun with your friends."
"But it's our night out together!"
She waved her hand in the air
"Pfft, go have fun. I'll be alright here."
Kurt looked sceptical but stood up regardless and hugged his mom tightly
"Thank you mom. I love you!"
She hugged him back
"Love you more."
Kurt pulled back and smiled widely at her
"Not possible."
"Yes possible."
Kurt and his group of friends walked up to the closed fair ground. They had planned a fun night out and decided to break into the fairground to use the carousel.
Kurt kneeled on the ground and used a hairpin to unlock the gate. He knew they could've easily climbed over it but he wanted to show off his lock breaking skills.
When they walked into the fairground they saw many rides and games. It was a beautiful night for a carousel ride. Brendan walked up to the carousel bootstrap and activated it quickly.
They all laughed and ran into the carousel sat down in various places happily. Kurt chose to sit on a big brown horse and Brendan sat down next to him on a smaller pink horse. Brendan looked at him with a smile and outstretched his hand. Kurt took the offered hand with a carefree giggle and they swung their hands back and forth into the beat of the carousel music playing quietly in the background.
"I miss us."
Kurt smiled sweetly at him
"I miss us, too."
"We should give this another try."
Kurt chuckled and poked Brendan in the shoulder
"Brends, you know we only work as friends, last time we were just friends with benefits."
Brendan looked at him with a smirk
"Maybe we should add the benefits in again?"
Kurt looked him for a moment before he nodded. They both leaned in and just before their lips touched they heard the police men walk into the fairground. The both sighed and accepted their fate. They we're so gonna be grounded after this.
It was three hours later that a police man walked into the cell and opened the door.
"We called all of your parents, you're free to go."
Brendan walked out dejectedly
"I'd rather stay here than deal with my damn parents."
Kurt was just about to walk out when the police man gently pushed him back into the cell
"Not you, you're staying a little longer."
Kurt looked at him with humor in his eyes
"You're kidding right? You called my mom, right? Right?"
The police man sighed and closed the cell door before he walked away. Kurt sat back down on the bench as he waited. His mom would be there for him soon.
Kurt woke up lying on the bench a few hours later when a black woman in an elegant grey suit walked into the cell and asked him to follow her. He followed her into a meeting room when she asked him to sit down and handed him a little bag of blue ranch chips and a can of Dr. Pepper.
"I'm not hungry. I just want to go home."
The woman looked at him seriously but with a sympathetic smile. She put her folder of files on the table before she spoke
"You will, just a different home."
"What do you mean? Where's my mom? Is she okay?"
"I'm sorry to inform you of this but the woman you think is your mother is not your mother. She's your kidnapper."
Kurt looked at her in shock and laughed uneasily at her
"Are you serious? That's not possible! Let me talk to my mom!"
The woman pushed the chips and soda closer to him and opened her folder. She went through the papers until she found the right one.
"When you we're three you we're abducted from your parents. We checked your fingerprints and they match the fingerprints taken from your favorite toy perfectly. I'm sorry."
Kurt sat down and sniffled. He couldn't believe this. He just wanted to go back to his mom.
The woman pushed a baby picture towards him and he slowly picked it up. The baby on the picture was him, without a doubt. He'd never seen this picture before in his life. He felt like he was going to throw up. This was real. This was a nightmare.
"We've contacted your father and he's anxious to meet you. He's on his way."
"My father?"
"Yes, He loves you very much, cried when he heard you've been found."
Kurt breathed in a shocked gasp. He'd always wondered if he'd ever meet his father. His mom told him that she'd met her father at a bar and had a drunken one night stand and ended up pregnant. He'd never questioned it. He never needed too. He looked back down at the picture of a very happy baby.
A man wearing dirty coveralls burst into the room and looked at Kurt with shocked wonder. Kurt looked back and felt a little sad that he didn't recognise the man at all. But he knew this man was his father.
The man choked out a whispered "Kurt." and hugged Kurt as close to him as he physically could. Kurt was hit with a feeling of home that he'd never felt before. Without even noticing he hugged the man, his father, back as tight as he could. He faintly remembered this smell of the man.
His world had just been turned upside down. He didn't know the man that was hugging him but he knew for sure that everything was going to be okay. He had a father and he was going to get to know him. Hugging his father felt like coming home.
