Chapter 29
Shadow POV
I approached the construction site when Zack by my side. I was of course welcomed by my coworkers. Or at least the ones I socialized with.
"Hey Kid! I didn't know you were working today" I gave Jace a firm hand shake exchanging hellos.
"Who's the lad?" Zack tucked himself behind my leg looking up at me then at Zane.
"This is Zack" I said bending down to pick him up, "The little one I've been telling you about" Jace gingerily held out his hand to Zack. Zack looked at me and I nodded; he slowly reached out and shook Jaces hand.
"Nice to meet you sir"
"Well he's a finely mannered lad" Jace said putting on his hard hat. "Better get to work kid, boss is here to check on our work." I nodded following him into the job site, grabbing a hard hat on the way.
"Well kiddo either sit here or put on a hard hat and watch us work" Zane handed Zack a hard hat. Zack giggled and put it on pretending he was a construction worker.
Our Break rolled around with in the next hour. We had gotten up a wall and a lot of flooring. Now we were sitting on the highest beam eating left over from lunch. Or in my case a candy bar. Zack was eating in the trailer with my boss who had brought his daughter Peyton to work with him.
"Hey look a Goth kids here!" I laughed at Zane before I realized who he was pointing to. There a good 50 feet below us was Silent. He stood there arms crossed looking up at me.
Not caring who saw me I jumped. I jumped from the beam and dove head first towards the ground. At the last second I opened my wings catching myself before I hit the ground. I closed my wings and darted into Silent's arms.
I threw my arms around him, burying my face in his neck. He sighed softly wrapping his arms tightly around my waist resting his head on mine.
"Silent…" I mumbled pulling him close. He pulled away and cupped my chin smiling at me. It was a real smile too, not one of his half cracked smiles.
"I've missed you so much Shadow. God you have no idea how much I missed you. I made a mistake leaving…Forgive me?" I wiped my eyes on my sleeve.
"Of course' He leaned in for a kiss but was tackled.
"Dad! Daddy!" Zack screeched throwing his arms around his dads neck hugging him tighter than I had. Silent simply smiled hugging his son back.
"I Missed you daddy!" Silent closed his eyes and smiled.
"I missed you too son" As much as I would have loved this touching scene to go on, it had to be ruined when my coworkers came down.
"The hell was that!" Jace was pale as a ghost. Then I suddenly remembered, I had shown my wings.
"You guys are those bird kids!" Silent was on his feet in a second standing in front of us. He pushed me and Zack back ready to defend us if necessary.
"Hey Man chill. We wont tell, because of her the boss has been a hell of a lot nicer to us" Silent gave me a look.
"Don't look at me like that" I said pushing a finger into his chest. He pushed my hand away.
"I could erase there memory if you want" I slowly shook my head.
"No. I want a real life Silent. I want everything to be normal for a while ok?" He slowly nodded and I turned to my coworkers, "You won't tell right?"
"It'll stay a secret" Jace replied, Least we know why she's so strong" I rolled my eyes Grabbing Silent's hand.
"So Jace can you and the guys cover for me with the boss?" He grinned.
"Of course. Just behave yourselves" He winked at me causing Silent to growl softly. I rolled my eyes cradling my son.
"Come on bud, I'm dropping you off at the flock's house for the night"
