Yikes, been a while since I posted something. Well, let's fix that. Here's a short little family fluff. Next post will be longer, I promise.
"Come on, Siegbert, walk to Mommy," Hinoka said. She held her hands out to her son who struggled to walk the four feet towards his mother. He stopped for a bit and looked at Hinoka who gave him an encouraging smile. "Almost there. You can do it." Siegbert didn't look to sure but started walking closer.
Xander watched from his chair at his desk, chuckling in amusement. "Don't you think he's a little young for this?"
Hinoka looked a little annoyed. "He's almost two. Besides, he's a fast learner." Siegbert suddenly gave a small grunt as he fell on his face
Tears immediately started running down his face. "Whaaa!" Hinoka was by him almost instantly and helped him off the floor. "Wahaa!"
"Hey, it's okay." Hinoka set him upright and wiped his face clean. "You're alright."
Xander got up from his chair and walked up behind Siegbert. "Perhaps I can help." He gently grabbed Siegbert's arms. "Go back a few steps, dear." Hinoka nodded and took four steps backwards before getting on her knees. "Alright, Son, one step at a time." Siegbert looked at Xander than to Hinoka.
"You'll get it this time," she said. "Just a few steps." Xander began to walk forward slowly, gently guiding Siegbert forward. The young boy's steps were wobbly and he would have fallen again if Xander wasn't holding him. About halfway there, Hinoka clapped a little. "You're almost there, sweetie."
Siegbert suddenly seemed more determined and started taking larger steps more confidently towards his mother. Xander smiled and began to loosen his grip. Siegbert didn't seem to notice when his father finally let him go altogether. He took the last final steps towards Hinoka and put his hands in hers with a confident smile on his face.
"You did it!" Hinoka said. She held Siegbert up and kissed him on the cheek. "I knew you could." Siegbert laughed happily as his mother hugged him lovingly. Xander smiled as he sat by them and ruffled his son's hair.
Somehow both parents knew this would be the first of many great accomplishments for their son.
