Chapter 10
Veronica went in the bar and looked around. He was sitting at a table with a
drink in front of him.
Veronica : she walked to his table What are you doing ?
Kai : he chuckled Isn't that obvious ?
Veronica : she wrinkled her nose You reek.
Kai : Hey, waitress ! Gimme another one, please.
Veronica : No, no, no. He's already drunk enough. Can't you tell ?
The waitress nodded and walked away.
Kai : Pffff party ruiner.
Veronica : Let's go.
Kai : How did you find me ?
Veronica : Locator spell. Now c'mon she helped him up
He stumbled.
Veronica : she mumbled Gosh...
They went out of the bar the best they could.
Veronica : I can't do this. I'm going to teleport us. Let's go in this alley.
Kai : Sounds great he chuckled
She rolled her eyes and went in the alley before teleporting to his hotel room.
They lost their balance and fell on the bed. Veronica on top of him.
Kai : he stroked her cheek You're pretty.
Veronica : Don't even think about it she slapped him lightly and got off of him
He fell asleep thinking about a night 5 years ago where he and Bonnie were
really tipsy and had sex.
Next morning
He woke up with a hammer in his head.
?: Hello.
He sat up and saw Veronica on a small couch. She waved her hand and a glass
of water plus two painkillers appeared on the nightstand.
Kai : Thanks he took them Did I do anything embarrassing yesterday ?
Veronica : You hit on me.
Kai : Sorry about that.
Veronica : Care to tell me why you got wasted ?
Kai : he looked away I'm a father.
Veronica : What ?!
Kai : Turns out Bonnie was pregnant when I left her.
Veronica : Wow. No wonder she's so mad at you.
They stayed silent for a few minutes swallowing the news.
Veronica : What are you going to do ?
Kai : I...I don't know. We already have enough on our plate. Now I have a s...son, I mean...
Veronica : You're lost, it's normal. Did you talk to him ?
Kai : No. I didn't have the courage.
Veronica : Then you know what your first step is.
Afternoon
They gathered to see Jeremy's painting.
Jane : It's exactly the creature that attacked us.
Jeremy : Yes, now we need to know what it is and how to stop it.
Jane : Let's crack books, people.
Elena : You know, why didn't anyone think about an electronic database already ? It would be easier.
Jane : she smiled We'll work on that once we killed this creature.
Bonnie grabbed a book and focused on the pages. She could feel Kai's eyes on
her. Now that the secret was out she didn't know what to do.
That night
He rang the doorbell impatiently.
Bonnie : she opened the door What are you...
Kai : I want to see him.
Bonnie : You can't. He's...
Kai : he went in without being invited I want to see my son.
Bonnie : she closed the door I'm not stopping you for the hell of it. You can't because he's sleeping. He's little. He goes to bed early.
Kai : Right.
Bonnie : Let's go in the kitchen.
He followed her.
Bonnie : Look...
Kai : Can I know why you never told me ?
Bonnie : Easy answer. You left she shrugged Didn't think you would care.
Kai : You didn't even try !
Bonnie : How could I ?! You left like I meant nothing !
Kai : Careful, Bonster, you're starting to sound like a broken record.
Bonnie : First, you don't get to call me that again. Second, you have no rights over Max. He's a Bennett.
Kai : You know what ? You're the winner. I mean, Max doesn't know his father while I missed his whole life so far. I missed his first steps, his first words...Everything !
A vase exploded. Bonnie jumped up and realized it was his magic.
Kai : bitterly Hope it wasn't your favorite.
Bonnie : You think I won ? I was alone in this pregnancy !
A plate flew away and exploded in mid air. With horror she realized Kai's cheek
was cut. SHE did that.
Max : Mommy ?
None of them had noticed he was standing in the threshold.
Bonnie : Max ! Oh honey, it's nothing, we just...
The little boy looked over at the tall man. He wanted to know who he was since
he met yesterday. Especially since they started talking about daddies at school.
Now he wasn't sure if he wanted to.
Kai : This isn't over he left
Bonnie kneeled in front of her son and hugged him. She started to sob.
