The Player Swap Up

Chapter 12

Cristiano POV

*a week and a half later*

Today and tomorrow we would have off to rest. I was currently putting sunscreen on Junior before we went out to the pool.

I grabbed his swimmies and carried him outside. I slid on his swimmies and carried him inside the cool water.

He giggled and splashed, causing water to go into my face. But I couldn't be mad at him, it was just too cute.

I laughed and moved him around the water. "Soon you'll be doing this by yourself." I said

"Pool!" He laughed

He only knew a few words. Daddy, pool, no and mine.

He liked to tell me no a lot. Like he has a choice. But his second favorite word is definitely mine.

I hope that doesn't mean he will be selfish. I don't want him to be selfish, if I have any say in this, and I do, I want him to be a humble and kind person.

I want him to be a damn good footballer too. If that's what he wants of course.

I moved to sit on the edge of a step and I moved him in circles. "No!" He splashed

"What bud? What's wrong?" I said bringing him to me

"No! No!" He repeated

"Pool! No!"

Well I guess our swimming is done.

I carried him out and dried him off with a towel. I then took his hand and we walked inside.

"Daddy!" He yelled

I looked down to him but he just kept walking. I gotta teach him some new vocabulary.

"Mine!" He grumbled

"Oh my we are very talkative today." I said picking him up and bringing him upstairs for a bath.

He saw me turn on the water "No! No!"

Junior kicked and smacked me the entire way. He did this every time.

He hates bathes. Hates them.

When I finally got him in he began to cry "Aw no it's okay. This will be over before you know it love." I said trying to soothe him as I ran some baby shampoo over his head gently.

I carefully, while having my hand shielding his eyes, washed it out and began to wash him off with soap.

He began to cry again. "Looks like we need a nap yeah?" I asked

He just kept crying. So when I finished with his bath I changed him into PJ's and put him into his crib.

I closed his door and made sure I grabbed the monitor from my room. I walked downstairs to hear my phone ringing.

"Hello?" I asked

"Cristiano! Is Alex coming over there today?" My mãe asked

"Mãe it's still only eleven. She's coming over around one. You know this." I reminded her

Alex was finally coming over to meet Cristianino. I was more than happy.

"Well when can I meet the girl?" She asked exasperated

"I don't know mãe. I want her to meet Cristianino first. Ease her into this. She's already nervous enough."

I heard her sigh "I want to have lunch. At Eduardo's Next week. Wednesday. Bring the girl."
