Hey! I know it´s been a while since I updated this story, but I had to study a lot, so...Anyway, this chapter is probably the last one. I really like this story and I would wanna write more of it, but for now, I don´t have any ideas and I´m busy with my new fics. So, I don´t exclude the possibility of writing few more chapters, but that´s the situation for now. And I wanna thank to all of you who reviewed it!
CHAPTER 7
The next day…
Charlie is sitting in front of Claire´s tent; sleeping Aaron next to him. Claire let him look after the boy after she made him promise not to swear in front of the baby again. He is playing on his guitar, but quietly, careful not to wake the boy. But, Aaron wakes up anyway. He opens his eyes and reaches his hand towards Charlie.
Charlie: Oh, look who finally decided to wake up.
Aaron is mumbling something, still stretching his little arms towards Charlie.
Charlie acting offended: What, you´re suddenly friendly with me again? Where were you yesterday when I begged you not to give me away to your mother? Aaron giggles. What, you found it funny! Now, let me tell you something, buddy. He puts away the guitar and turns towards Aaron. …It wasn´t funny at all. You were lucky, you fell asleep immediately, but you should´ve seen her face afterwards! You couldn´t imagine someone so angelic to look like that! Aaron giggles again, reaching his arms to Charlie to pick him up.… Oh, you wanna cuddle now, huh? He turns his head right-left. No. Aaron joins his palms, like he´s praying. No! I told you – I´m mad at you. He turns his back to the boy.… See? Charlie´s mad…
Aaron: Chaaa-ly…
Charlie turns abruptly, bewildered. Aaron puts on the cutest expression and repeats again.
Aaron: Chaaal-ly.
Charlie thrilled, reaches for the boy and pulls him into a big hug: OMG, you said ´Charlie´! You said my name!
Aaron repeats his name again. Charlie is overwhelmed with joy. He tickles the boy, who is giggling frenetically.
Aaron sits, pointing with his finger at Charlie: Chaaal-ly…da-da.
Charlie is left speechless. Did he just call him daddy?
Charlie: A., what did you say?
Aaron: Da-da.
Charlie: You called me ´daddy´?
Aaron nods. Charlie doesn´t know what to say. He picks the boy and hugs him again. He feels tears in his eyes. He can´t remember ever being so happy. Can´t remember any feeling that could compare to this. No drug on this world could give him this. Not even one.
