"All right, laddie, ya are going to be good for me all day." Chibs said down to Nolan.
Nolan eyes were a forest green today. He stared up at his father, giving Chibs a gummy smile while kicking his feet about.
Today, Chibs took it upon himself to take care of Nolan. He brought the little one with him to work, putting him in his car seat and set it down on a table near the car that Chibs was working on.
"Hey, you got the little man." Tig appeared.
Nolan went wide eyes and then his face began to scrunch up.
"No, no, don't cry laddie. Tiggy back away."
"Why does he cry with me?" Tig threw his hands in the air.
Chibs tried not to laugh at his VP. He turned away to bend down to say Nolan's name softly while gripping either of Nolan's feet to give them a little shake to draw his attention away from Tig. He was trying to prevent the little one from crying. Nolan face relaxed making Chibs to sigh out in relief.
Standing up straight and turning around, Chibs pointed right at Tig.
"Stay away from my son."
"I just don't get it."
"I don't either, but it is pretty fucking funny."
Tig pouted before he turn to his toolbox to grab his work shirt and pulled it on.
An hour passed when Happy appeared in the garage. He walked right up to Nolan, who was waving one of his toys around in the air.
"I got him something." Happy said to Chibs.
Everyone that was present in and around the garage appeared to freeze at Happy's comment. Someone even dropped their tools that clanked loudly off the cement floor. Happy took notice that everyone stopped what they were doing to stare at him with shocked wide eyes.
"What the fuck is everyone looking at?" Happy rasped, glaring at everyone.
"Dude, you actually brought something for someone else?"
"Is it reused?" Ratboy asked.
"No, it is not reused. It is brand new for my godson." Happy growled, glaring at Ratboy before softening up his glare as his eyes were back on Nolan.
Chibs came over, wiping his hands off on a rag. He stood beside Happy to see Happy hold up a small shoe box. Opening the box, Happy pulled out a pair of small work boots.
"Aye, would ya look at those." Chibs laughed.
Before he grabbed the boots, Chibs made sure that he completely cleaned off his hands of any car grease because he knew that Happy was a neat freak, and would not let Chibs grab the boots with car oil covered hands.
They were light brownish tan work boots that were made for a toddler. Chibs patted Happy on the shoulder.
"They're for when he gets a bit bigger, and when he is running around." Happy said as he knew that the boots were made for toddlers.
"Aye. Thank ya for this."
"He gotta' look good." Happy gave the tiniest of grins.
"Anabelle will love these." Chibs tucked the boots back in the box, setting the box beside the baby seat to not forget about them.
Happy stood over Nolan, who stared up at him with wide eyes, but then began to wave his hands up toward Happy. Happy smirked as he picked Nolan up, holding him to his chest. He began to walk around the garage, and he made sure to walk by Tig with a smirk. Tig happily flipped Happy off to which Happy snickered.
Chibs shook his head as he watched Happy taunt Tig with Nolan, showing off how the little one enjoyed Happy company over Tig.
"Hey, need an extra hand today?" Neil appeared in the garage.
"Looking for extra cash?" Chibs said jokily.
"Hey, gotta save up to buy some college supplies." Neil shrugged his shoulders.
Grabbing an extra grey mechanic shirt, he threw the shirt at Neil, who pulled it right over his other clothes. Neil walked over to the car that Chibs was working on, checking out the paperwork on it to see what was wrong with it. Chibs stood back as he watched Neil get straight to work. With Neil aiming to be an engineer, he had a knack for this, and so Chibs could leave Neil alone to fix up vehicles.
"I think he's hungry." Happy appeared before Chibs, holding Nolan out to him.
Taking his son from Happy, Chibs patted Neil on the back before leaving the area to head off into the clubhouse to go into his dorm room. Unlocking the door, he entered and he walked over to the mini fridge where he pulled out a bottle filled with Anabelle's milk.
Nolan began to get fussy making Chibs to gently shush him. He walked out of his dorm room to go into the kitchen where he set the bottle in a pan filled with water, and he heated the bottle up.
When that was all set and done, Chibs went back into his dorm room where he shut the door, locked it and then sat down in the sofa armchair that he had in his dorm room. He dabbed liquid on his wrist to see that the bottle was cool enough for Nolan to drink.
"Here we go." Chibs held the bottle up to Nolan.
Nolan began to drink, his hands coming up to the bottle where his fingers splayed out against it. He stared up at Chibs as he kept chugging down the milk.
Chibs smiled down at Nolan wrapped up in his left arm. He bent down to press his lips against Nolan's forehead. He felt as if he was being sappy as shit, but this was his little boy. Being able to raise his own child without having to worry about his son being taken away, Chibs was proud of raising his child. He was happy to have the opportunity to raise Anabelle and his son.
When it came to raising Nolan, he was a good baby. He cried when he was hungry, tired, needed a diaper change or if Tig was around. Usually at home, whenever Nolan cried, Chibs was the first one up unless Anabelle said she got it.
Nolan eyes began to flicker up and down in a slow manner. His drinking slowing up and his hands sliding off the bottle. Chibs tried not to laugh as Nolan was fighting to stay awake.
When the milk was gone from the bottle, Chibs set it aside on the nightstand then grabbed a small towel to set on his shoulder to burp the little one. Once Nolan was burped, he passed right out into a soundless sleep.
Feeling sleepy himself made Chibs to toe off his boots and got onto his bed to lay down. Groaning as he felt all his bones and muscles tighten up for a brief second before stretching out. Moving to the center of the bed, Chibs adjusted Nolan on his chest to make sure he would not fall off.
"Let's get some rest, little champion." Chibs mumbled as he shut his eyes to get some sleep with Nolan sleeping on his chest.

Neil looked up when he saw his mother pull into the parking lot. He wiped his hands down before he shut the hood of the car he finished.
Anabelle was carrying two pie boxes with a brown paper bag on top. Immediately, prospects came over to help her out. She smiled and thanked them before she made her way over to Neil to hug him. She took a glance at the car that he had worked on.
"All done?"
"Need to start it up to see if it's running smoothly." Neil said as he walked to the driver's side to get in and start the car up.
Anabelle grinned as she listen to the car start right up and run smoothly. Neil shut it off, getting out with the keys and walking over to the table to grab the clipboard with the car's information. Anabelle watched him the whole time until her eyes came to rest on the baby seat and a box beside it.
"Where's Filip?"
"In his dorm room. He had gone to feed Nolan about an hour and a half ago." Neil answered.
"He must have fallen asleep with him." Anabelle said as she grabbed the baby seat, but she opened the shoe lid of the box that was beside the baby seat.
"Oh my god, these are absolutely adorable." Anabelle cooed over the baby work boots as she picked one up.
"Happy got them."
"That is so sweet." Anabelle smiled, setting the boot back into the box.
Picking up the box, she saw Happy working on a truck. She walked over to him with the baby seat and shoe box. Sensing her coming, Happy turned away from the truck to face her.
"These are so cute. Thank you for them." Anabelle smiled as she held up the shoe box.
Happy grinned at Anabelle's compliment. She hip bumped him before she walked off to go find her Scotsman with their son. With keys to Chibs dorm room, she open it up and allowed herself in. She smiled at the sight of Chibs snoring lightly in the middle of the bed with Nolan sleeping on his chest.
She shut the door softly behind her, locking the door and then set the baby seat down by the door with the boot box in the baby seat. Anabelle set her purse down next before she slid her sneakers off her feet to walk around the bed. She sat down on the edge of the bed, staring down at Chibs and Nolan.
With her right hand, she reached out to brush a few hair strands from Chibs forehead. She lean down and pressed her lips against the corner of his lips. She pulled back, trying not to smile as his nose twitch.
"Filip. Wakey, wakey."
Eyes fluttering open, rapidly blinking, Chibs turn his head to stare directly at her.
"What time is it?" Chibs asked groggily.
"It's three in the afternoon."
"I slept for almost two hours."
"Both of you did." Anabelle nodded to Nolan, who began to rouse from his sleep too.
Chibs sat up slowly, holding Nolan to him.
Anabelle reached out to take Nolan from Chibs to allow him to get out of bed and stretch. He groan at the feel of his muscles stretching and bones popping. Dropping his arms on his sides, Chibs eyed Anabelle cooing down at Nolan, who smiled then nuzzle his head underneath her chin.
"Beautiful." Chibs smiled at the sight of mother and son.
"Hmm?" Anabelle looked up away from Nolan to stare at Chibs as she did not hear him.
Stepping up to stand closer to Anabelle holding their son, Chibs slowly wrapped his left arm around her lower back and he pressed himself against her side. His nose nuzzle against the side of her head before looking down at Nolan in her arms.
"I'm a lucky man."
Her eyes flicker up to meet his and slowly, a smile came onto her lips.
