A NEW LOVE | Charlie Swan

Chapter 6

CHARLIE POV

I lay in the couch with Rubi in my arms. She had fallen asleep crying. I desperately wanted to ask her why was she crying but I didn't want to bother her with any question so I just hold her tight. The feeling of having her in my arms was making me smiled.

"Mommy?" I hear a little voice say and i look up and see Louis walking down the stairs. I look down at Rubi who is still in a deep sleep. "Hey buddy What's wrong?" I ask hoping he doesn't freak out I was holding his mother.

"I had a nightmare. A-and I didn't saw mommy in bed and got scared. " He says sobbing. I know I should wake Rubi up, but she looks so peaceful. "Come here buddy." I say holding out my arm as i scoot a little bit making space between me and Rubi so I could put Louis in my chest.

I lift him up and put him in my chest as he makes himself comfortable. I smile as Rubi in her sleep pulls both me and Louis closer but also grabs my arm pulling it over them so I'm now holding them both. I kiss there forehead and she hums as Louis is already asleep again. "Good night." I whisper smiling.

I wake up the next morning, but the couch is empty.
The storm has gone down and it was quiet outside.
As i lay in the couch waking up a bit more i listen to the sounds coming from the kitchen. Louis is playing with Loki what i can hear. I smell breakfast, my stomach starts growling I get up and walked into the kitchen.

"Charlie !" Louis squeals running up to me jumping in my arms. I pick him up. "Did you sleep well buddy?" I ask him. He nod shyly. "Mommy is making pancakes." He says smiling. I look at Rubi who is smiling at us while she makes breakfast. "Did you sleep well?" She asks me. "Like a baby."I say smiling. "You?" I ask. She nod blushing and it is the cutest thing I have ever seen. "So.. I was wondering since it is Saturday... Do you guys want to do something today? It is not the nicest weather, but i think it could be fun." I say smiling.

"Can we mommy?" Louis asks his mother excited looking at her with puppy dog eyes. I chuckle as I look at her. "If Charlie has nothing better to do. Then sure we can do something. What do you have in mind?" She says smiling.

"I thought maybe we could go on walk with Loki on the beach." I say smiling. Rubi nods.

"Sounds good to me... What do you think Louis?" She asks him. "Yesss..." He says putting his hands in the air making us both laugh. "Well, we are going to eat breakfast first... and then you have to get changed into something warm otherwise we can't go out." Rubi tells him as he excitedly jumps up and down making us both laugh again.

RUBI POV

~1 hour before~

I had woken up this morning at Louis staring at me.
"Mommy?" He whispered. "Yes baby?" I said pulling him closer and kissing his forehead. "Charlie snores a little bit." Louis says giggling. I chuckle.

"Come my love let's let Charlie sleep for a while, in the meantime we make breakfast, Okay?" I say smiling kissing Louis forehead. "Can we make pancakes?" He asks me. "Of course, but before let's go wash our teeth." I say smiling at him.

Louis wriggled his way out of the couch and ran upstairs to wash his teeth. Before i got up as well, i looked at a sleeping Charlie and let out a sigh. I was scared and confused but surprisingly calm. His presence calmed me everything about him calmed me. This was the first time I got attached to someone so fast and to be honest I'm scared.

I couldn't stop thinking of how his arms wrapped around me holding me felt like a comforting blanket. It scary me how comfortable both me and Louis where around him.

I walked to the kitchen where Louis was playing with Loki. I smiled as he was having him sit down and give him paws before giving him his toy doll. Before I noticed Louis asked Loki to turned invisible.

"Cool. Good boy." Louis said jumping up and down and giggles.

"Louis, what have I told you about magic." I said raising an eyebrow at him.

"To not do magic in front of Muggles." He signed and asked Loki to change back and went to play with him again.

About 10 minutes I was almost finish with breakfast when Charlie walked into the kitchen. When Louis saw him. He jumped up and ran towards him jumping in Charlie arms and Charlie smiled and picked him up.

Call me selfish but i wanted to enjoy this happy moment for a little longer. I saw Loki rubbing his head against his leg, i can't help but notice how he was also comfortable with him. Everybody is comfortable. Loki was a magical creature he was a Crup, 'A Crup is A wizard-bred dog that is loyal to wizards but hostile towards Muggles.' But yet here he is wiggling his tail at him.

Charlie asked us if we wanted to do something fun.
Louis got all excited and asked me if we could go. And of course i agree. After deciding to go for a walk on the beach.

"Mommy. I am ready!" Louis squealed running down the stairs to the kitchen.

"Okay well mommy has to take a shower and get dressed. So stay and watch a show with Charlie in the meantime." I said "Okay!!" He said and Charlie
chuckled as Louis dragged him into the living room.

I smiled and walked up to the bathroom, hoping that for once in my life i could trust a man but only time will tell, i thought to myself.

Only time...
