Monsters of Seabrook

Five Years

Five years had passed since Wyatt and Zed had Zephyr. He was five years old and was gonna start Kindergarten soon. Zephyr was very friendly and outgoing, loved everyone and always tried to play with other kids. Wyatt, Zed and Zephyr were at the playground and Zephyr wasn't the only mixed species. They had seen a kid that looked to be half zombie and half vampire, a zompire. Another looked to be half human and half wolf, and many other hybrid species. Wyatt and Zed held hands as they sat on the playground bench as Zephyr played happily. At least until an older child came up to him and shoved him out of the way. Zephyr fell on the play structure pretty hard, making him cry. Wyatt heard him and immediately ran over to his crying child. Zed was right behind him and got Zephyr to come off the structure.

"C'mere baby!"

Wyatt said, holding out his arms for Zephyr to walk into. The five year old requested to be lifted, so Zed complied and did so.

"Baby, what happened?"

Wyatt asked. Zephyr pointed to the older kid that pushed him out of the way. He looked to be around eight years old. Wyatt snarled at the kid and was tempted to go find his parents and tell them off, but he was more worried about his son.

"He pushed me!"

Zephyr said through his tears. Wyatt kissed Zephyr on his head as he cuddled him and took him from Zed.

"Do you wanna go home or stay here?"

Zed asked his kid.

"Home.."

He mumbled.

The three of them got back to the house and checked Zephyr for any injuries. Thankfully, there weren't any.

"You hungry, bud?"

Wyatt asked Zephyr. The kid nodded his head.

"What do you want me to fix you?"

"Nuggies!"

"Nuggies it is."

Wyatt reached into the freezer for the chicken nuggets as Zephyr ran over and jumped on Zed.

"Daddy, play with me!"

The zompup demanded playfully.

"What do you wanna play, little man?"

Zed asked his son.

"What if other daddy wants to play?"

Wyatt asked as he sat next to Zephyr. Zephyr let out a small scream, being startled by his wolf dad. The little boy laughed at his dads.

"Zephy, show me your teeth."

Wyatt said, wanting to see his baby wolf fangs. Zephyr smiled at his dad, showing his teeth.

"You'll have your big wolf fangs soon enough, son."

Zed told him. Zephyr went over to his toy basket and grabbed one of his teething toys and put it in his mouth and began chewing. Wyatt sat next to Zed, grabbing his wrist and putting his arm around his shoulder.

"We made a beautiful boy, babe."

Zed said.

"Yeah, we did. Don't expect another child soon, by the way. Zephy put me through hell."

Wyatt said, half way kidding.

"Oh come on, let's have a girl."

Zed joked.

"You act like I can choose what I have. You ain't getting another kid for awhile."

Zed gave Wyatt a pouty look and started kissing his neck, leaving small bites.

"Boy, get off of me."

Wyatt laughed, joking with Zed.

"I gotta check our son's chicken nuggets."

Wyatt said as he stood up and walked over to the kitchen. The wolf opened the oven door and took a fork to flip them over to cook a bit longer. He closed the door and went back over to Zed and Zephyr. Zed kissed Wyatt on his cheek as the wolf sat back down.

The two dads had just put Zephyr to bed, then went to their bedroom to lay down themselves. Wyatt always slept shirtless, which Zed definitely didn't mind. The zombie looked at the scar that Zephyr left on Wyatt's stomach and gave him a soft kiss there. Zed would always admire Wyatt for being able to even conceive a child. Even five years later he was so proud of him.

"You're such a good dad, Wyatt."

"You are too, Zombie."

Wyatt returned the compliment. The two of them cuddled and talked awhile before going to sleep.

"Y'know I was only kidding about not having another kid, right? Eventually I wouldn't mind having another baby with you."

Wyatt assured the zombie.

"I know, baby boy. There's no need to rush. I know it's not fun being pregnant."

"True, but it was still worth it. I love our little Zephyr Wild to pieces."

Wyatt said. The two smiled at each other as they leaned in and gave each other a kiss.

"I love you, baby."

Zed said.

"I love you too, Zombie."
