Stitching A Broken Heart

Chapter 16

Three years later:

The door opens and Qi Xiaotian enters with a sad and confused look on his face "hey buddy, how was school?" Tang asked from the living room "fine" the nine year old said taking his shoes off "'just fine', no field trip, no exciting adventure you and Mei had?" Tang said getting up from his seat and walking towards Qi Xiaotian, he then took notice Qi Xiaotians glum look "hey...what's wrong...what happened?" Tang asked asked kneeling down "nothing happened" Qi Xiaotian said looking away trying to walk past Tang but, Tang gently grabbed onto Qi Xiaotians arm "Xiaotian, what happened...and don't lie to me" Tang said softly yet sternly

Qi Xiaotian looked at his Baba and let out a small sigh "it's just...this boy at school....Coda....said something" the nine year old said looking down at the floor "what did this boy say?" Tang asked in concern "he said that....I shouldn't have two dads....and that it's weird and wrong to have two dads" Qi Xiaotian said. Tang was shocked at what he heard "I-I told him it's not and he's wrong...but Coda just pushed me and said you and Dadsy are freaks and...I'm a freak too" Qi Xiaotian said tears filled his eyes, Tang couldn't believe what he just heard 'How can someone say that to a child?' Tang thought "Baba, am I a freak?" Qi Xiaotian asked looking up at Tang "no, no of course your not" Tang said pulling his son into a hug "you are strong, talented, funny, can make great friends, and beautiful...you have nothing to be ashamed of....me and your father love you so much, we would give anything to keep you happy" Tang said hugging Qi Xiaotian tighter 

Qi Xiaotian looked at his Baba and hugged him back "I love you Baba" Qi Xiaotian said burying his face in Tangs scarf "I love you too Xiaotian" Tang said placing a kiss on his sons forehead. Soon Tang pulled away and looked at Qi Xiaotian with a smile "now how about we make some snacks until Pigsy comes back" Tang said smiling "yeah!" Qi Xiaotian said smiling and ran into the kitchen with Tang behind him

It was sunset when Pigsy returned home, as he closed the door he was immediately ambushed by a nine year old "Welcome home Dadsy!" Qi Xiaotian said hugging Pigsy "hey kiddo, miss me?" Pigsy said hugging Qi Xiaotian back "oof you're getting heavy" Pigsy said when he placed Qi Xiaotian down "Pigsy is that you?" Tang called out from the kitchen "yeah I'm back" Pigsy said walking into the kitchen where Tang was making Baozi "smells good, what's you making?" Pigsy asked looking over Tangs shoulder "you have to take a shower first before I tell you, you smell so bad" Tang said pushing Pigsy away from him "is that how you treat a man who worked all day?!" Pigsy said pointing at Tang angrily. Tang had an idea "how about I give you whatever you want from me after you take a shower" Tang said with a smile, Pigsy blushed at that "wait here I'll be right back babe" Pigsy said running to the bathroom 

Tang smiled as he placed the bun in the steamer "typical Pigsy" Tang said with a chuckle "what are you going to give Dadsy when he comes back Baba?" Qi Xiaotian asked looking up at Tang confused, Tangs eyes widened as he just said that in front of Qi Xiaotian "u-uummm...dessert!" Tang said blushing "what kind?" Qi Xiaotian said wondering what kind of dessert "ummm....ice cream" Tang said looking away "can I have some!" Qi Xiaotian said smiling "s-sure, after dinner though" Tang said making another Baozi. Thirty minutes later Pigsy came back showered and dressed just as Tang Placed the steamer on the table and the family began to eat each talking about their day, and after dinner Pigsy told Qi Xiaotian that he and Tang were heading to bed early and carried a blushing Tang to their bedroom leaving Qi Xiaotian alone to eat his ice cream
