Chapter 14 – Pocket full of Sunshine
April 2015
Time, forever in waiting.
Suffocating the mind, the body...the soul. Holding within its grasp, eternal sunshine, or undying despair.
Keeping you unsafe...
But that's ok.
It's alright, to open up your heart, in your own time. It's not the evil presence, striking to break the essence of your beauty.
It's produced to prepare, to plan, to shape your most extraordinary creations.
There will always be enough, time will always be on your side, when your moment of glory, dances through the brilliant lights, positioned so high up in the sky...
And now the time has come, the hour, the minute, the second...undeniably perfect...
...
The night sky, consumed by April showers, washing away the cold, for winter has come and gone.
The rain, falling against the tangible, serenity in it's path, cleansing the pollution, for it's the solution to the want, the need to feel reawakened, seeing the world through brand new eyes...to rinse away the sins of the past, a new day, a new life, awaiting to be lived.
Aaron lay awake, listening for the sound, pleading for the gods, to resist their malicious laughter.
But thanking them, for turning him around, allowing him to start his days again.
The noise began, distortion, writing it's self on the wall, clarity failing to prevail.
Aaron, the bullet from a gun, shot through the dark, heading towards the source.
The face before him, perfection personified.
Needing, needing to take his anguish away...but all that was offered to Aaron, to guide him to the key of his unexplainable requirement, is incoherent sound.
Grasping him, Aaron's hands, his sword, Aaron's arms, his armour.
For he will seek to destroy the soulless bodies who try to harm the life before him...
Master Livesy-Walsh.
Dark blue sapphire pearls, soft, delicate white diamond skin, with a hint of rose upon his cheeks, Blond locks, starting to appear evidently.
Tiny hands, wrapping around his father's finger, for the man holding him, is working his magic...soothing the crying in his son's heart to a slow, confident beat.
Aaron whispered words he cannot verbalise, but laced with such meaning, such desperation to lull him gently back to sleep.
Casey James...closed his sleepy eyes, accepted into the dream filled dark.
The little boy, now safe within the confinement of love.
He has been living with his proud parents for just over two weeks. In such a short space of time, Aaron and Jackson, have fallen, deeply and uncontrollably in love, with their pocket full of sunshine...who now belongs to them, and them alone.
Casey is now protected inside, Aaron and Jackson's hearts like towers, towering over him, offering him stars and glory.
For their son has the mixture of nature and fortune on his side, making him destined for greatness.
The dark, now receiving a gentle hush, little pieces, of the something, that are fated to fall. The quiet noises, which no one else, accept the four walls saturated in shadows, will get to hear.
"Casey...Casey James, real, and in the flesh, in my arms.
I have been waiting a long time for you, seems like forever. But I won't stop now, It's only just begun, for there will be no hesitancy, second guessing, no, not this time.
This time I will be here, I will never run again.
Every problem, every eventuality you will have, I will be here, removing all the bad, all the terrible things that will try to bring you down, I will clear the path for you, to live your life anyway you please.
You know, everyday, since we brought you home, all I have done is cry...just to know, you are all mine.
It seems I have two perfect people in my life, you and your dad.
With your daddy Jackson in your life, you will become superhuman.
He has changed my whole life, he doesn't know what he has done to me, with his love. He completes me as a person...
But you complete my life.
I know with his guidance, his wisdom, his love, you will become one of a kind.
Together, your dad's would offer you the world, if it's what you want.
You can be who you are with us, you can tell us anything, we will never judge you, we would make all the hurt go away...we would make it alright.
You got me, you got me from the first moment I looked into your eyes. There, there unbelievable, big open eyes, their like Jay's, just a different colour.
He adores you too, your dad has an overwhelming smile, but you make him smile wider than anyone. He's known for his passion for life, he always leaves, a glow of brightness, everywhere he goes, but the gleam behind his eyes since you came into his world, has strengthened his whole spirit, I have no doubt he could move mountains now, we both could.
And, me and your daddy, would never stand in your way, if you ever want to find...your real mum and dad.
If it's what you want, we would do everything we can to help.
She doesn't know what she's missing you know, your mum, four months old and you remained nameless.
Well, you have your own identity now mate, named after a boy I knew. He radiated courage, his fighting spirit for all the world to see, his heart strived to survive, suppose I will tell you more about him when you're older.
There will be no secrets, me and Jay will always be honest with you, we will tell you everything you want to know about us.
And, we hope the good times you will experience with us...will eclipse the bad. We know it will be inevitable that you will receive comments, because you have two dads, but we will do everything in our powers to make sure you don't suffer.
Because...you are the most important thing in our lives now, and always will be...
...
Aaron stayed, the life still possessed in his grasp, looking, just looking at his present...his future...
Outside the room, pride, awaited in the wings, flourishing into a stargazed flower, blooming so vibrantly, all the worlds away could see.
Emotion taking control, tears, effortlessly presenting on his features, for Jackson has heard the whispers in the shadows, absorbed the loved filled words, delicately spoken, uncovered the meaning laced within his tone.
The hidden jewels, his husband keeps within his core, now shinning, defining feelings into clarity.
Jackson crept quietly back into their bed, to rest his overwhelmed head.
For now, he will be forever, sleeping beneath the stars, all the wonders of the world in the next room, and the diamond, which fortunes eternal sparkles of gold, will be closing his ocean eyes, beside him.
