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

Chapter 32

The next few days pass in a blur while we wait for Aubree's return. Lucan and I manage to keep Hunter in the house and out of the public eyes. Which has been no easy task since all he wants to do is explore his new home and continues to ask when he will be starting school.

Aubree is stopping over soon to discuss how to go about putting Hunter in school discreetly and introducing him to the public. Currently I'm in the kitchen preparing grilled cheese and tomato soup for when Aubree arrives. Lucan and Hunter are in the backyard throwing a baseball around waiting for lunch to be done.

At the present Lucan and I are not on speaking terms due to an argument this morning. We had a disagreement over wither or not Hunter should be included in the conversation with Aubree. Lucan believes Hunter shouldn't be a part of the conversation, but I do. Due to our disagreement we had a heated conversation which ended with neither one of us wanting to talk to other.

I disappeared into my room and I'm not sure where Lucan ended up. A few hours had passed and I was not longer able to remain hidden since I had volunteered to make lunch yesterday. By the time I came out the two of them where in the backyard laughing.

I had stood on the back porch watching them for a moment when Lucan spotted me. The gleefulness from his eyes faded to irritation causing me to wonder if my days were numbered. For the past few days Lucan would whisper in my ear about how I need to stop being scared and admit we would make a good team.

And at night I wish I wasn't so weak. Either I or he would sneak into the others room, but no more falling asleep. We managed to avoid being found out once and I was not going to fate chance twice. If he was in my room I would kick him out sooner after we were done, but when we were in his bed I would have to fight my way out of his hold.

Right when I thought he could be right we would be able to make this work he has to go and pick a fight. At least this fight reminded me Hunter is the main priority and not a relationship between the two of us. We did break a new record on time in-between fights.

He's wrong for not wanting Hunter to be there. We are going to be discussing Hunter's future after all. I can understand his point of view on how Hunter is too young for a conversation like this and would be better off waiting till we had everything figured out. But he doesn't know Hunter as well as I do. Hunter and I always discuss life changing events together. Granted I may change the wording so he can understand what is going on, but he's still a part of the decision making processes. Lucan wanting to remove him from this made my stomach turn,

The fight never would have turned into us giving the other the silent treatment till he had to play the I'm the father card and he may call you mom, but you are only his aunt. Because then I played the I've been the one raising your son and making all the decision card.

We had stood there glaring at each other breathing heavily and not saying a word. Till I could no long stand being in the same room as him and had stormed away. Since then we haven't said a single word to one another.

Did I regret my words? Yes. But he shouldn't have said what he said. Just because he has a piece of paper declaring him Hunter's legal guardian does not mean he knows what's best for Hunter. I feel in this department I know a little more than him since I've been with Hunter since he was born.

The alarm sounds informing me the soup was done. I grab four bowls and ladle out some soup for Hunter along with placing a sandwich on a plate for him. The other bowls remain empty I figure I'll wait till Aubree gets here so the soup will stay warm.

Heading to the sliding door I pull it open and call out, "Hunter lunch is ready."

"One second mom," he calls out catching the ball in the air and tossing it back towards Lucan, "We haven't missed for the last ten throw. We are seeing how long we can go without missing."
