One thing that I suppose makes you look at your partner different, is the way they act with children. Right now luke makes my heart skip a beat he looks comfortable and natural with joe right now. The way he wrapped arms around the younger boys stomach keeping him securely on the stool, that sat in front of the counter, helping the boy reach the counter and with the help of luke to not hurt himself.
"This is cute" I smiled softly, leaning against the counter across from the two boys
Luke smiled back grabbing a small tube of green frosting "what are we gonna decorate on this cookie bud" luke asked the small boy, playing with his brown hair
"Uncle luke, can you help me make daddy on this cookie, I miss him and maybe this will help him to remember me" the small boy spoke, his eyes becoming glossy a small sniffle coming from him
This is what I worried with Ashton leaving joe for the evening. His anxiety kicking in, more like separation anxiety. It wasn't nice to notice or see I'd seen it hands on, for example him refusing to join the other kids at the library during story time never leaving Ashtons lap. Now he's thinking about Ashton the distraction of making cookies has stopped now he's overthinking the reasoning for Ashton going out.
I walked around the counter quickly knowing he needed that motherly figure right now, that Ashton normally carried "What's wrong bub" I asked softly crouching down to his level, as he leaned into Lukes side hiding his face light sniffles coming from him
"I miss daddy, why did he leave me auntie Effie" he asked moving towards me, hiding his face into the crook of my neck
"He'll be back soon joey I promise, and if he doesn't we'll buy you ice cream, won't we luke" I looked towards him,
luke crouched down beside us, stroking Joe's head soothingly "your dads just gone out for some alone time, which everyone needs once in a while. It doesn't stop him from loving you though, he loves you very much. But he needs to live his life as well, just like you go to school and see friends he needs to as well" luke explained making the small boy nod a little
"Come on let's finish the cookie for your dad, it'll make him extra happy when he gets home" luke said picking up and placing him on the counter
"What movie do you want to watch joey, it'll be our little secret that you get to stay up past your bedtime" I asked searching through Ashtons cupboards for popcorn
The boy looked up slowly, taking his time to think of a movie he enjoyed watching. While filling in the outline luke had made of Ashtons hair "Lilo and Stitch" the small boy replied with a giggle, making my heart melt
"I'm sure I can sort that out to watch" I replied walking into the living room, trying to set up the tv. I knew this had been Joe's mums favourite movie when her and Ashton were seeing each other I suppose. He always used to tell me he'd make joey watch it not matter what even if he didn't like it, to remember his mum.
— "Hey you" I spoke watching the small boy walk out of the bathroom towards the living room with his spider man pyjamas on, a tall luke following him out switching the light off behind him
"Are you sure your not tired joey?" I asked picking him up to help him onto the sofa
"I wanna wait for daddy to get home" he spoke slowly, rubbing his right eye with his the fist of his hand letting out a yawn
"You'll be way asleep by then bub trust me" luke spoke placing him on his lap
"How about a story" I suggest knowing that would ease him off to sleep
"Can I have 10 things I love about you" he whispered resting his head on Lukes shoulder, his eyes drooping shut every couple seconds
"What's 10 things I love about you joey" luke asked still playing with his hair, which was working in setting him up for sleep
"Me and daddy do it, he tells me 10 things he loves about me every night and I do the same back" he spoke his eyes fully shut now
"Ok" I nodded "I love when you buy me flowers every time you come round my house" I spoke softly kissing the crown of his head.

That's when the door slowly opened to reveal a smiley Ashton, walking through the door.
"Bedtime clearly doesn't matter with you two" he chuckled softly patting the boy on the head before sitting down on the sofa to take his shoes off.
"Daddy" the small boy whispered stretching his arms out for the man
"I'm here" he chuckled pulling the boy onto his lap kissing his cheek softly "how's he been?"
"He's been really good, he decorated cookies for you. I think there's a special one waiting for you tomorrow" luke replied sending him a soft wink
"We did have some tears, but that's ok nothing wrong with feeling anxious sometimes. I think when we were waiting for the cookies to cool down that made him start thinking" I spoke softly pulling ash a sympathetic smile
"Have you thought about seeing someone ash, this isn't normal for a child his age" luke spoke up
"Yes I have thank you, I don't think he needs it" he snapped back "sorry you know it's a tough subject luke"
"It's ok" he pulled a smile
"How was the date though" I asked letting out an excited squeal. I wanted this to go perfect for Ashton he deserved the world
"It went well, Izzy wants to meet joe next. I told her soon I'm not sure how he would react yet. But I really like her I felt a good connection with her" he smiled letting a blush appear on his cheeks
"Your whipped bro" luke chuckled
"You cant say a lot" Ashton snapped back
"Guess I cant" luke said kissing my cheek softly, pulling me closer towards him
