Chapter 36

I was scared you were all going to get mad at me for having Atlas give Asher a hickey, and all the comments were about how ugly and old Thomas looked 💀

Atlas's POV

"Pway with me! Pway with me! Pway with me!" Emerson runs over to me his new stuffed animal in one hand.... the one I got him, for his birthday yesterday. I stop in place and wait for him to get to me. Squatting down I open my arms for him "how's my favorite six year old" I laugh as he waddles to a stop and hugs me.

Pulling away he holds up the stuffed dragon with both hands. "Will you pwease pway with me" he begs bouncing the slightest bit. "Hmmm" I pretend to think about it and his face turns into a pout you can't say no to.

"I think I have some extra time" I stand up ruffling his hair. He becomes extremely excited before motioning me down the hall. "Fowo me!" He shouts before running off to I'm assuming his room. "Follow you?" I chuckle walking behind him.

He nods until we make it to his room. Stopping completely. I wait for him as he goes on his tiptoes and grabs the door handle pushing it open with all his strength. "Okie come here" he points to the floor in the middle of his room.

I nod and sit on the little rug. EJ runs to his bed "Don't- Don't leave" he mumbles before coming back with the Dino and now Wolfie who has definitely aged. "Which one am I using?" I ask and he holds them both up looking at each one carefully.

"Here go" he giggles handing me the dark green dinosaur. I smile as he hugs Wolfie and plops onto his butt. "Does this guy have a name?" I ask and his eyes widen. "Oh no! W-we can't Pway if he have no name!" He whispers his eyes full of worry.

"Well, I guess we better think of a name" I sigh and he nods. "Wolfie will help us!" He shouts before clinging him to his chest. EJ shuts his eyes trying to concentrate. "We name it Atwas?" He opens his eyes and stares at the dinosaur.

"That's cute buddy, but let's think of a name that nobody else in our family has" I chuckle poking his cheek. "Wolfie and I idea!" He gasps crawling forward. "We-we can do the one name we start days ago" he rambles about something, that even I was confused about, and I can usually understand his toddler talk.

"What name buddy?" I ask, he picks himself up. "Git!" He cheers as my eyes widen and my face drops. "Shhh!" I try to shush him hoping Papa didn't hear that, you never know what kinda mood he could be in.

"How about another name?" I try suggesting something else quickly getting shut down "no Wolfie likes Git to!" He whispers his eyes becoming big and glossy. I bite my lip holding in a laugh. This is going to come back and bite me in the arse.

"Okay.... that's a great name" I lie right through my teeth as the smile returns to his face. "Okie now we Pway!" He cheers going back to his spot. "And what are we playing?" I ask holding up... Git. "Git is the bad guy and Wolfie is going to practice Bwue" he explains pulling out the blue dog he had received a few years ago.

"Oh okay" I nod and he sets blue next to him before going back to Wolfie. "I'm going to get you Blue" I whisper making the stuffed dinosaur walk closer to the dog.

"Oh no! I save you from big mean binosore" he 100% butchers saying dinosaur, but I decided to just let it slide. "Oh no, you won't" I grumble coming closer with the toy in my hands.
