Chapter 2 ,

Forgotten , only to be found

Jeremy walked along the sidewalk . He really didn't know where he was going...he just wanted to let his feet carry him somewhere . He felt the soft breeze caress his cheek , and blow his curly brown hair away from his face . Smiling to himself , he gazed at the sky , it was a cloudy day , but he didn't care...he liked it .

He let his mind wander off , somehow he thought of his husband...mike .When they married he took his last name...Now he was Jeremy schmidt...

He remembered how surprised everybody was of him , considering most of his family was straight , so it was a bit akward , they also thought Mike was just some ass hole . Although , Jeremy saw good in everybody ,and Mike wasn't really bad at all once you just got to know him-

Jeremy's thoughts were interrupted as he saw a small child stumbling under the shadow of a tree . Jeremy raised an eye brow , the child was sniffling as he cluched his right arm .

The kid looked like he was only about three , maybe four . He had violet skin , slightly spiky , dark purple hair , and curious , pale colored eyes , that naturally had dark circles under them . The child wore a purple sweater , and sky blue jeans . Jeremy walked over to the child , and knelt down beside him .

Vincent heared a voice and spun around , he saw a friendly looking person kneeing down beside him , and smile down at him with his bright green eyes . His voice softly spoke to him . "H-Hi . What's a little kid like you doing all by yourself ?" He rubbed his eyes , but stayed silent , As tears continued to fall .

The man whispered , "It's okay if you , uh don't want to answer ." Vincent felt safe with this guy so he answered what he did know . "They went away ." He croaked . Jeremy replied with a simple "Oh..."

Jeremy's eyes widened , as he saw some blood leak though the arm of the child's sweater .

Careful not to hurt the small child , he gently touched his right arm . Vincent winced a little bit . Seeing this , Jeremy nervously spoke , "I-I'm S-So sorry , I-I didn't mean to hurt you. I was just trying to-" Vincent shook his head . "How did this happened ?" He asked . Vincent started to whimper, "I'm sorry! Please don't cry ."After a few moments Vincent was calm again and nodded his head , smiling up at him . Jeremy liked the kid , he wasn't like some of the...other kids at the pizzeria . He was sweet .

Jeremy was pretty sure he knew what happened too , the kids parents left him , probably getting a bit...agreessive in the process . "Hey , I can um , help your arm and stuff if you come with me to my house ." Vincent hesitated a bit , before replying , "Ok !"

His left hand grabbed Jeremy's . Jeremy strolled along the sidewalk , with the child following not far behind .

"My names Vincent , wha's yours ?" He asked . Not quite pronouncing the "t" sound . "Vincent's a cute name...it...it fits you...my name is Jeremy by the way ." After a few seconds Vincent said . "I'm three , how...old...are you ?" He chirped . Jeremy chuckled , "Geez Vincent , you're pretty curious aren't you ?"He fake sighed ."Well , I guess if you must know...I'm 19..."Cool.." Vincent replied .Jeremy noticed something , Vincent had stopped crying .

When Jeremy stopped at thier building , they climbed up the metal stairs , reaching thier apartment , it had started to have a slight downpour.

Jeremy frowned . He...hadn't...thought...of...how exactly he was going to explain this to Mike..."Vincent ."Yeah ? "Stay behind me for now , and stay quiet...okay ?" Vincent nodded and slunk behind Jeremy , hiding behind his leg . Jeremy sighed , using his key , he unlocked the door . "Hi Mike ." Mike was outstretched on the couch , he had the remote in his hand . Yawning he replied ." Hey , Jeremy..." He turned to him , seeing how Nervous and clammy Jeremy looked . "What ? Did ya' not enjoy your walk or somethin' ?" Jeremy bit his bottom lip , "I never said that...I just...well y-you see...I uh I..."

Vincent peeked his head out from behind Jeremy's leg...

This is the moment when the coffee Mike was drinking spewed out of his mouth . Vincent slunk back behind Jeremy's leg . Mike started coughing like crazy . "What the-" *coughs*"Jeremy did ya'-" *coughs more*"Go out and steal a kid or somethin' ?" He started coughing some more . Jeremy said defensivly "N-No ! I found him , and-and it's a long story , I'll tell you later ."

Jeremy picked Vincent up and plopped him gently on a chair , Pulling his sleeve up on his right arm .

Mike eyed Vincent and Jeremy...and Vincent's arm , for a second , but then turned his head back to the TV . He knew Jeremy would tell him later , so at the moment , he really didn't care .

Jeremy , truthfully...had absolutely no idea what he was doing , so all he did was bandage Vincent's arm...and done .

"Vincent , we'll be right back ." Jeremy said . He walked over to Mike . Mike got up , and silently followed him . Jeremy told him everything . "And I think-" Mike shrugged . "Jeremy ya' do know that you really shouldn't assume things like that . We could get in serious trouble if..." he trailed off , seeing that Vincent found the knife drawer...

Jeremy followed his gaze . "VINCENT ! OH MY GOD GET OUT OF THERE !" Mike broke into hysterical laughter as Jeremy ran over and picked up the small child .

A few hours later...

after a long talk with the police , Jeremy and Mike found out that Vincent's parents , had indeed left him , and later had been found dead . As for the cut...well...only Vincent knew...so , thankfully , not being charged ! They (Jeremy) , adopted Vincent...which this whole time was playing with a toaster...on the couch...and he fell asleep...great .

Jeremy and Mike were in their bedroom . Jeremy whispered in his husband's ear . "Mike...we have a son now~"

Mike sighed . He would put up with this...just for Jeremy , who knows maybe he himself would like this...yeah , he could teach his son his ways of life and hope that he turns out fine .
