Chapter Seventeen
Denial
A few days later:
"Hey Mommy" Alec said knocking on her door, "You decent?" he didn't wait for an answer he just opened the door. "The little guy's ready for bed." he said rubbing Cale's back.
"Alec don't call me his mom" she shook her head as she reached out to take the baby.
Alec shook his head, "Would you prefer nocturnal needs provider?" He moved over to her lone chair, "You're a mom Max, you need to just accept it."
She shook her head as she lowered Cale onto the waiting mattress Logan had brought over with Zen and Vida weeks ago and covered him with a blanket, "I'm just helping out."
"Max this stopped being helping out a long time ago." He frowned watching her brush down Cale's hair. He worried she was heading for another heartbreak, he hadn't understood why she'd allowed herself to become so attached to Cale while swearing she wanted to stay away from Logan.
Then again, he thought as she smiled as a mostly sleeping Cale grasped at her finger, maybe he did understand.
Wow that was a budget chapter…I swear the next is more than just a few lines.
