Strong One

Chapter 25

Ryan POV

"I've looked at the times for the strips water fountain shows, and street shows.  As well as some of the more high-end gambling venues.  How about you look into restaurants and special dinning experiences?" he suggests.  I nod and check on Kieryn, who is still sleeping.

"Shouldn't he have woken-up to pee?" I worry.  I lift up the blanket and check again, only to see his underwear becoming wet.  "Well, he's just peed.  I'll go get some wet wipes and clean underwear" I say getting up.

"They use to take me out of the cage and take me to a small bathroom and order me to pee.  So, maybe we just have to ask him and he'll go" Fin explains.  I go and get what I need and come back to clean and dry Kieryn, before rubbing more cream into his butt, which is already looking better.  I pull on dry underwear.  This pair has an elephant's head on the front of them and is green.  I change the nappy under him.

"Should I just wash out his underwear and hang them in the bathroom?" I ask "sure, we might need them" E agrees.  I put the nappy in the trash and then go and wash his underwear.  I go back and start searching for restaurants and dining experiences.

By the time I've finished, it's getting late.  "I'll order up something light to eat and then we can go to bed" I say looking at the menu.  Kieryn climbs into my lap, having woken up, as I call down and order the food.  Once I've don't that.  I go and get another bottle for Kieryn and pick out mixed veg jar for him to try.

He takes the formula, but eats the mixed veg slowly. "You have all your teeth.  So, when our food comes up.  You can try and chew some of that" I say feeling bad for him.  I've ordered gyros with a mixed fruit bowl.

Kieryn loves the strawberries and blueberries.  He does eat a little of the gyro bread too.  Once we've finished, we clear away, leaving the tray outside the door.  I take Kieryn to the bathroom, hold him on the toilet and tell him to pee and pooh if he needs too.

He does both, which I praise him for.  Wash him up and then show him how to brush his teeth.  I have to tell him not to eat the tooth paste though.  Fin walks in rubs Kieryn's cheek. "You need to brush your teeth, so you don't rot and no-one wants to kiss you" he tells him.  "And also I learnt, people on seeing you, might call you, buddy, dude, cute, sweet, angel, sweetheart, honey, darling or darlin' which is the same thing. But apparently, it's quicker to say. If they don't like you, they may call you. Prick, shithead, fuck," "okay Fin remember we said to check with us first? Some of those words aren't meant for little ears" I say covering Kieryn's ears and giving Fin a warning look.

"I see, they don't sound nice either. Human's have butchered the language. That I'm sure, was once used just to communicate your needs and wants" Fin says standing from the toilet and flushing.  Kieryn claps him as I did for him.  Fin smiles though and seems pleased with the praise.  "With Kieryn here you aren't going to make love to me, are you?" Fin then says frowning at me.

I roll my eyes, "stay here, E, Fin needs you" I call and leave the bathroom after kissing his forehead.  I pass E as he walks into the bathroom "enjoy" I smile at him.  I put the TV on in the bedroom before getting into bed.  Kieryn snuggles into my chest while he stares at the cartoon I've found.  I hope it is enough to distract him, from what's about to happen in the bathroom.

But he watches the TV screen carefully watching as fireman Sam helps someone fix his roof.  I can hear what is going on in the bathroom.  But it does sound like Soren has dampened the sound in there too.  I feel my own eyes getting heavy and look down at Kieryn.  He is now asleep too.  I lay down leaving the TV playing, as I also let sleep take me.  I wake-up briefly when I hear dad and pop come back, but fall back into a deep sleep.  My dreams are full of wolves and witches.  I wake when E gets up out of the bed.  I watch as he walks to the bathroom, then turn to see Fin snuggled into my side.  I look down to find Kieryn staring back at me.
