Queen of Kings

Chapter 22: Titles and Claims

Taking a deep breath before he opened the door. Looking around he was listening for any noises around them. Going into the garage he saw him going on the leg machine looking right into his eyes. "Hey kiddo." Sean told him in between breathes. "Hey dad. Glad to see you aint skipping leg day." Gage laughed to him. "Me? Never?" Chuckling back to him. "I heard about your promotion." Sean told him. "Now come on dad. We both know better than that. I know you were there. I know you saw everything. For as long as I have been breathing on this Earth dad you have never. I do mean NEVER missed anything competition, play, concert whatever it was you never missed one thing. I know you were there dad. I felt you. I felt your eyes on me." Gage told him looking at him with love.

"Yeah. I saw it all. All of it. It was almost like watching you through someone else's eyes even. All in all. I am proud of Gage. That will never change." Sean told him simply. "Are you sure about that?" "I'm always damn sure about that boy don't you forget it either." Sean told him his voice raised a little higher finger pointing at him. "I bet mom doesn't feel the same way at the moment." "You're mom. She understands that you do what you feel you have to do. Things that are best for you. We can't tell you what's best for you son. We can only hope you do what's best for you. Hope we raised you right enough to know right from wrong. You know as we all get older I'm learning right and wrong is just all about perspective though isn't it. We did try hard to do what's best for you. Just we made a lot of choices in our life and we did what we honestly thought was best for you." Sean got up and was wiping his hands off with a towel.

"You see son that's all a parent can do. We take from our past. Our mistakes and we do what can to protect you. Not just mentally, emotionally and physically but to protect you from making mistakes like we or those who were around us made. The worst thing for a parent to see in their child is for them to end just like who we were. Our job is to make you better than us son. Just because we want better for you. Everyone in their life will always have moments where they wonder what could have been if they just had some of the opportunities others have. With so many opened for you young ones now sky really is your limit and we just want to help you reach up for it."

"You know when you become a parent son you will learn quick. Your child is the best thing you will ever do or make. When you. When you see them succeed. Being happy the look on their face when they are purely happy and proud of themselves. Working hard and just making it. Than you know you succeeded to. That's our whole purpose in life. Doing what we got to do to see your dreams or at the very least just your happiness come true. Not very often you can give both to your kids though. Blessing if you can. You are our blessing and your mother knows and agrees with me on that. She will come around. Just got to know how hard this is for her. Working her ass off to save you from that life for you to go running right into it. Not even working in it you are the boss." Sean shaking his head.

"Hell you even fell in love with the main boss. The damn Queen. Man son you really do go big instead of home when you put your heart and mind into something don't you. If I would have had a million guesses this could happen it would not even be the top ten. You have changed so much this past year son. I don't mean that in a bad now. Don't get me wrong. I'm actually really happy with all the changes you went through. Son you look better. Like in your eyes and face. It's like you got a glow and an aura around you now. I remember when I first got all that. It's what happened to you when you find your happiness. Your meaning. I guess I have a beautiful almost Donna to thank for that. For bringing me son. My real son home." Sean told him glowing with pride stepping up to hug his boy.

"I love you dad." "I know kid love you too." Walking into the kitchen to see his mother sitting there drinking her coffee. Shaking her head letting a huge puff of irritate air come out of her. Looking back up to him to see the effects of the night before. "It's not as bad as looks mama. Besides you should see the other three." Gage laughed off to quickly drop the smile as his father did the same when his mother was giving him that look. "I knew you'd win. I knew you would walk out of their title sworn in and all. I know my son. I know how much fire and how much you really had riding on this. I understood how you would let nothing get in your way of what you want or at least who." His mother added looking down to her mug staring at it like it was her focal point.
