My Nephew's Dad the Rockstar (Book 3 Steel Wolf Collection)

Chapter 14

Saying Hunter was excited to see me when I got home would not give his reaction any justice. The second he saw me he launched himself in my arms. This was the first time we had been separated for so long. Neither one of us was used to be a part for so long. I missed him the same amount he missed me.

He spent the remainder of the day glued to my side, which made going to the bathroom difficult. With the extra money in my back account I was able to have some pizza delivered. We ended up inviting Tina and her children over as a thank you.

While the kids played in Hunter's room I told Tina everything that happened, including how I think I found Hunter's dad. She was exited for the new opportunities coming our way, but also sad I was moving. We made plans for her and the kids to come visit once we were settled in. I did leave off the part about Steel Wolf, but Tina already knew. She had seen pictures of me out with them and told me I was the talk of the building.

We then jumped into the difficult conversation about Lucan. She told me to give him the benefit of a doubt, but Tina is a romantic at heart where as I am not. Then she went on to gush how wonderful me and Lucan becoming an item would be. That we could then raise Hunter together. I rolled my eyes at this plans of her. One major problem I couldn't stand the guy after the way he treated me.

Tina and the kids left leaving me with an exhausted Hunter. He begged for me to let him sleep in bed with me. I relented easily because I needed him as much as he needed me. We snuggled into bed while I read him a story. Soon we were both sleeping.

Time flew by and soon the next court date was looming before me. I had yet to explain much of what was happening to Hunter, but he knew something was up. We had sat down to talk about my new job and how we would be moving.

I sat him down on the couch one afternoon after school. "Remember how I went to Nashville," I ask him opening the door to the conversation about moving.

He nods his head. "Yeah," he responds.

"Well very soon we are going to be moving down there for my new job," I explain. Aubree had called me the day before saying she had found us the perfect location and everything was set. All I needed to do was wait for the court date granting me full custody.

I had broken down on the phone with Aubree and she continued to reassure me all would be well. She was working on something on her end and for me to keep my chin up. For the little amount of time I've known Aubree she seems like a go getter and when she sets her mind to something she gets what she wants.

After my conversation with her I felt a little less stressed out knowing I had someone else in my corner. I wasn't dealing with all of this alone any more. The only other people I've ever been able to rely on where Emma, when she wasn't high, and some of the people in the building.

"How soon," Hunter wants to know drawing me from my thoughts.

"Soon buddy," I tell him ruffling his hair. "I have some things I need to take care of here and we also need to do some packing." Glancing around our sparse apartment I realize packing shouldn't take too long. Maybe a week tops especially since I didn't have to go to the club anymore.

Hunter jumps from the couch and makes a dash to his room. "What are you doing," I ask him.

He skids to a stop at his door. "To pack," he responds as though I'm ridiculous for asking such a question. I laugh at his excitement. Hunter was use to change. When he was younger we moved a lot, but we have been in this apartment for a while now.

Hunter remained in his room for about an hour before I went to check on him. I opened the door to a mess. He had piles all over the place. "Hunter buddy how's it going," I ask eyeing the piles with frights.
