Xia/Grace POV
Shen has been really good with Ben. I'm still angry inside with his mother. She really doesn't know responsibility at all. I'm looking at my phone wondering how I'm going to explain things to Trevor. I look over to the kitchen as Ben and Shen laugh. Shen looks over at me and nods encouragingly to me. I blow out a breath and call my brother "Xia, nice for you to remember us? What's wrong?" he answers
"Hey now brother, new job?" I remind him "So, what's cooking Cookie Monster?" he asks using my childhood nickname. "Ben is with me, don't worry he's fine and I can drop him off tomorrow" I say in a rush.
I hear him curse and wait for him to calm down "what happened?" he asks "she lost him near City Park and I found him watching the ducks" I tell him the bare facts. "Was she with a man?" he asks I swallow as I really don't won't to be the one stabbing him in the heart as he still loves the silly woman.
"Okay I've got it, tell me where you are? I'll come and get him?" he says before I can answer, "he's looking forward to his chicken nuggets. My Boss Shen was with me when I got her call. He told Ben he makes the best chicken nuggets and he's got Lego that Ben wants to see" I explain
"I'm sorry Sis, you are more of a mother to him than his own" he says sadly "Hey I'm his Godmother and Aunt?" I remind him "and a very good one, we are both glad your back. Did you see Dads latest pic?" he asks changing the subject.
"I've been busy today so haven't checked my phone" I tell him "you'll love it!" he says causing me to groan. He chuckles down the phone "thanks Sis, I'll come and get him tomorrow" he says
"Hey Ben do you want to talk to your Daddy?" I ask "yeah!" he cries and I walk over and give him the phone. "Daddy I saw 17 baby ducks, and I'm having the best chicken nuggets with Mummy Xia boyfriend" he says I slap my forehead and he laughs.
"Huh, yep I don't think you can scare this one" he says "he's my Boss" I remind him "yeah, okay I'll ask him" he says "what's your address?" Ben asks Shen, before I can say anything, Shen has answered clear enough for my brother to hear.
I crouch down hugging my knees and Shen pats my head. "Okay see you soon" Ben says ending the call. I jump up and look at Ben "he's coming? Here?" I ask shocked and then glancing at Shen.
"I'll take him and wait in the lobby we can go eat chicken nuggets out" I tell him looking around for Ben's coat and shoes.
"No need I have plenty of chicken, why don't you go and take Ben into the second door on the left?" Shen says easily, I look between him and the door he's indicated. He nudges me with his shoulder and I give in, picking up Ben and carrying him to the door.
"You little man aren't playing nice?" I tell him as I open the door. As I'm looking at him and not the room, he squeals excitedly and wiggles to get down. I look into the room and see wall to wall shelves with action figures and Lego figures. Ben starts to look at everything as if they were the most cherished things he's seen.
I glance back at Shen and see him smiling at me "we might not get him to leave the room until he's inspected everything thoroughly?" I warn, he shrugs and carries on making diner.
I am still in the room with Ben, when his door bell rings "that will probably be your Daddy, should we go and let him in?" I ask, Ben shakes his head as he looks at Chewbacca in Lego form.
"Ben and Xia are in the spare room" I hear Shen say "I'm more interested in you and your intentions?" Trevor says, I spring to my feet and go out of the room
"Trevor have some respect that is my Boss? and he is here cooking for your son! In his home!" I state strongly
He knows he's over stepped when I call him by his full name. "I'm just" he goes to say "I'll just castrate you!" I threaten cutting him off. Shen looks between us as he checks the stove. "She might look ordinary, but she really can kick butt" Trevor stage whispers
