AN: Darko is a toddler in this chapter, I think. Enjoy!
"Bath time, my Darling," as Hephaestion carried his angel into the bathroom, Darko began shaking his head, "Yes. You will have a bath," the shaking continued, "Yes," as Hephaestion stood his son so he could grip onto the tub.
Not wanting said bath, Darko ran out into the hall, nude already.
"Darko Alexandros!" Hephaestion followed his son, catching him easily, "You do not run! Bad boy!" he have him a gentle but firm swat on the behind.
Having never been spanked before, Darko froze. Then came the scream, "Wahh!"
"What happened?" Alexander came down the hall, having heard the noise, and found his arms full of a crying, nude son.
"He's being spanked for running from his bath," Hephaestion stood up straight and crossed his arms over his chest.
Alexander turned to the son in arms, "Did you run from your bath?"
Darko nodded slowly, fingers in his mouth.
"That was not nice, Love. Say sorry to Momma."
Darko started to sob as he signed, "Sorry," to his mother.
Hephaestion softened, "It's okay, Love," he took him from Alexander, hugging him close, "I love you."
"Love me?" came the sign.
"I do. Very much. I will always love you."
