Part 1:Chapter2-Will's First Word
Author's Notes: Here we are again everyone, since this story is already finished, I plan to be updated this version a few times a week.
Thanks for reading and please review.
(12 months later….)
"I can't believe you let him back into your life!" Brian scowled his daughter as they entered the grocery store.
"Dad, we talked about this." Lara sighed as she placed her 12-month-old son, Will into the buggy. "He apologized, okay! You're the one that's always telling me to give people second chances, and now you can't even do it for him! You're such a hypocrite Dad!"
"This is different Lara; the guy wasn't even their for his own son's birth!" Brian yelled.
'Yeah, he was!' Lara thought, but kept the thought to herself. After all her and Lucas both agreed that it would be easier if her parents believed that he, and Will's human father were one in the same. "He was scared Dad; the point is he's here now: and that he's helping support our son."
Brian sighed knowing all too well that he was not going to win this battle. "Fine I'll go and get the milk."
Lara watched him leave and then smiled as Lucas (who is now possesses the body of Lara's punk boyfriend) peaked from around the corner of the aisle. "Is he gone yet?" He asked.
Lara nodded "He's going to get the milk." She assured him.
"Seriously I know this guy is terrible and all: but can't he drop it already it's been a whole year!" Lucas exclaimed.
Will giggles at his father who is waving his arms as he rants.
"Keep laughing Jr. and I'll drink every drop of your milk right in front of you!" Lucas warned.
William continues to laugh.
Lara smiled slyly as Lucas looks ready to pounce. She had known the demon for an entire year and if there was one thing she learned, it was that Lucas was no prince charming. Of course, she couldn't say she was surprised. After all, the guy did say he was a demon, and as far as she could tell demons were supposed to be heartless. And apparently it also meant that he was allowed to be selfish, overzealous, and short tempered.
Lara looked to her son, and asks hopefully, "Can you say milk William?" Will stops giggling and stares at her with his big gold eyes.
"M-I-L-K!" Lara urged as she sounded it out for him. William burst into more laughter.
Lara growls in silent frustration.
"Awe let him be Lara he'll talk when he's ready." Lucas assured her.
"I know it's just…well he's turning one today and he hasn't said his first word yet." Lara said looking worried.
"Well whatever his first word is gonna be it sure won't be milk!" Lucas said bluntly.
"And why not?" Lara asked.
"Because it starts with an M, it's scientifically proven that infants have trouble making the M sound. That's why they learn the word Dada before Mama." Lucas explained in his usual know it all manner.
'The same know it all manner that drives dad off the deep end! "She shook her head as she let it slide. Wondering that maybe she just might be letting the demon get away with a little too much!
Lucas smiled slyly as he read her mind loud and clear, he then rolls his eyes as Will goes into a laughing fit. He looks around to see what the child could possibly be laughing at now, only to see that there is no one else in the aisle. 'This kid has got to be mental.' he thought, knowing all too well that there was a good chance he was. After all the kid was a demon, 'Half demon!' Lucas corrected himself and then with a sly smile he added.
'For now…'
"Lara, I got the milk!" Brian stated as he came down the aisle.
"And I'm gone!" Lucas declared and made a run for it.
"Get some diapers while you're headed that way." Lara yelled after him.
Lucas was tempted to turn in the opposite direction just to make a point that the human had no right to order him around. But he then decided against it, after all he was getting a little sick and tired of 'Daddy!' and all of his yelling!
Brian shakes his head "That boy is not a good influence for William!" he said knowingly.
Lara shakes her head and decides to change the subject. "Will, can you say Papa?"
Will beats his fist on the buggy and tries to sit up in his seat. Of course, he fails due to the lack of fully mastering this thing called balance. He laughs as he falls back down in his seat, and decides to repeat the attempt again just so he can fall on his butt one more time.
Lara smiles simply overjoyed that her son is happy on his birthday, and that he has one to celebrate in the first place.
"Okay Dad we need some frosting, and cake mix for the birthday cake" Lara announced.
"Alright just don't disappear again" Brian ordered before going to find the needed items.
No sooner than he was gone did Lucas reappear "Got the diapers." he said with a sly grin.
Lara rolled her eyes "You can't keep avoiding my Dad." She told him.
"Sure I can." Lucas declared in his know-it-all tone. "I can do whatever I want; isn't that right Jr!" he asked his son as he put the items in the buggy.
William simply laughs at his father again.
"Okay kid that's it!" Lucas declared. He then turned into a big scary monster with claws and fangs. The monster then roars loudly, its fangs drooling saliva.
Will stops long enough for his father to stop roaring than he claps his hands, and giggles happily as if it's all one big joke.
The monster rolls its eyes and Lucas turns to normal. "Seriously what is wrong with this child?" he asked.
"There is nothing wrong with our child!" Lara told him. "Besides it serves you right for trying to scare your own son!"
"Scare!? That wasn't scary trust me I can show you scary." Lucas assured her.
"No not around here you won't, besides humans don't scare people like that." She reminded him.
"Only because they lack the ability to do so." Lucas snapped. "Besides whom in their right mind thinks that screaming BOO is going to scare someone?"
William stops laughing. "Boo!"
Lara gasped. "Lucas did you hear him? Will said his first word!" she jumps for joy.
Lucas on the other hand does not look pleased. "Boo?" he asked his son angrily. "WHAT KIND OF SELF-RESPECTING DEMON SAYS BOO?!"
"Boo!" Will screams obviously pleased with the fact that he has made his mother happy. However, he is even more please that his father is not!
"Awe Lucas stop ruining the moment!" Lara exclaimed. "Now watch Will while I go get Dad."
Lucas rolls his eyes and waits for her to leave only to walk away as soon as she's out of sight. "No son of mine says boo!" he said as if that justified the fact that he was leaving his son alone!
Will doesn't seem to care; he's more interested in the red head little kid headed his way. The boy is caring a big giant lollypop and is licking it hungrily.
Will's eye narrows on the lollypop, and he decides he wants one too! Suddenly the half demon waves his hand, and the buggy levitates dropping horizontally to block the kid's path.
The kid stops as the buggy drops down in front of him. "Hey, jerk you could of swashed me!" he yells.
Will holds out his hand and gives the kid the 'Give me' gesture!
"NO this is mine!" The red headed boy yells. "NOW MOVE!"
A loud, blood curdling roar erupts from Will's mouth.
Lucas turns just in time to see the kid turn and run, dropping his candy along the way. The shadow demon watches as his son laughs and waves his hand again. He smiles as the lollypop begins to float towards the child.
William grabs the candy as soon as it's in reach and begins to suck on it.
Lucas gives his son a slow round of applause as he walks back over him. "Now that's more like it." He told the kid approvingly.
Will laughs and continues to suck on his new treat.
Lucas chuckled as he begins to create a cover story to tell Lara of why there son suddenly has a lollypop. He pushed the buggy forward trying his best to leave the scene of the crime unnoticed. "You know kid you're going to be quite the handful I can already tell!" he exclaimed.
Will smiled slyly knowing all too well that his father had no idea how right he truly was.
