I'm glad you liked the first chapter! I enjoyed writing it. :D
I decided they would be a collection of once shots centering on Kuzon's childhood and the struggles Lin had to go through to protect her son and keep him away from Tenzin. So here's the second chapter! Thanks for reviewing btw.
Chapter 2
Lin woke up early that morning for work and put on her uniform. She peeked in Kuzon's crib. The baby was still sleeping. He was hugging his blanket. She glanced at the clock and then at her son.
"I'll be at work. I'll come as soon as I can on my lunch break to feed you." she told the sleeping baby.
She kissed her fingertips and rested them lightly on Kuzon's forehead. "I love you."
Lin left her home and drove her satomobile to the Police Headquarters. She made herself a quick cup of coffee before leaving the lobby. She walked to her office and was surprised to find Saikhan waiting there, glancing at a newspaper on her desk.
"G' morning Chief." Saikhan said.
Lin sat at her desk. She sipped her coffee and nodded politely. "Good morning."
"Are you alright? You seem a little tired."
"I'm fine, thanks." she replied, her eyes on the newspaper. The headline read, Tenzin proposed to Pema! They were kissing. She felt the need to throw up but tried to look as indifferent as possible.
Her second-in-command nodded and left her office.
She bit her lip. So he proposed to that girl. He looked happy. Pema looked happy. Maybe…maybe this was best. Tenzin would marry someone who'd willing have his children. She was over him, so it didn't matter to her.
So why did Lin still feel angry?
Lin ripped the newspaper up and tried to focus on the paper work sitting at her desk.
After she had finished most of her paperwork and threw criminals in jail, it was time for her lunch break. Lin ran into her car and drove as quickly as she could while in the speed limit to her house. Once she was there, she jumped out of her car and opened the door.
"Waaaahhh!" Lin heard Kuzon cry. "Waaaahhhh! Waaaahhhh!"
When she opened the door he momentarily stopped crying, but then resumed.
The chief grabbed a bottle filled with warm milk and carried Kuzon out of his crib. She put the bottle in his mouth and he sucked on it eagerly.
Lin sighed as she looked at Kuzon. "What am I going to do with you?"
She couldn't be here all the time. Her long absence from the Police Force had already aroused a number of questions. She could not trust anyone to take care of Kuzon because she would have to explain why she had a baby. Lin definitely couldn't bring him with her. She was stuck.
Who knew that parenthood was so hard?
"I'll just have to wake you up when I have to go to work so I can feed you your breakfast, then go back to work, come back when it's my lunch break to give you lunch, and then give you your dinner when I come back." she decided. A strange smell came from Kuzon. She blanched. "Of course, I'll have to change your diaper when I come here."
He finished his milk and Lin gave him some baby food, wiping away the occasional drool and spilled food with a napkin. She changed his diaper and placed him back in his crib with a few of his toys in case he got bored.
"I'll be back as soon as I can, okay? You'd better behave." she told him firmly.
Kuzon nodded and bit one of his toys. He waved when Lin started to leave. "Buh bye!"
"Bye." she replied, smiling at him before shutting the door.
Please review…or I might 'accidentally' forget to update. (:
