Leah's POV

Therapy seemed to help T a lot. Slowly I could see that bright light I once saw in her eyes, in the tone of her voice, in her behavior. Slowly, she appeared more confident, more sure of herself. She was getting back to the person she was before all of the problems started.

I encouraged her to spend time with her friends, as I assumed that would help her as well. They could create memories, have a laugh, go out... All the things I... I longed for too.

I was looking at my phone, Cam's contact details were visible. With one press on the button, I'd call her. I wanted to talk to her, to spend time with her, to just be around her. But I didn't press the button, I just stared at it. Like all the other times...

I sighed and put my phone down on the coffee table. It was useless. At some point, when you stop talking to a person, the distance gets so big that you become strangers. I didn't know anything about Cam anymore. I didn't know what she was up to, who she was spending her days with, if she was dating, if she had a job... And it pained me. Because I still considered her my best friend.

"Mama?"

I sat up and saw Emil stand there. He seemed worried. "Yes," I cleared my throat, wanting to sound confident. "What's up tiger?"

He looked at me for a bit before looking away. "Something is wrong with Jin."

I immediately got up. "What happened?" I asked as I rushed off to their play corner.

"I don't know," He sounded upset. "We were playing and then he got angry."

I looked at Emil. I saw just how upset he was. I stopped walking and knelt to get a better look at him. "Hey," I caressed his tiny face. Slowly tears rolled down his cheeks. "It's ok," I nodded. "You know his different."

He slowly nodded, he understood that but that didn't stop his tears. Even though he knew Jin well and could understand these reactions, it still hurt him to see them.

"Let's go see your brother."

He nodded, took my hand, and walked with me to Jin. When we arrived at their play corner, Jin was visibly angry. He was shouting and crying, pushing things aside.
Emil immediately hid behind me, as if he was afraid to get pushed himself.

I looked at Jin. Even though I had seen reactions such as this, it hurts to see your child so angry, so upset, over something. I motioned Emil to stay put as I walked closer to Jin. I approached him slowly. I knelt as I was relatively close to him. "Hey, Jinnie."

Jin didn't react to me, it almost seemed as if he was ignoring me.

I looked at what he was doing. "I understand that you're angry," I said, he started to slow down. It was now that I could hear just how rapidly he was breathing, like a wild animal. "It's ok to be angry, you know that."

Slowly he turned around to look at me. His breathing was still rapid, he was sweating, and his face reddened.

"Can you tell me what happened?"

He was still just breathing, and I knew it would take him a while to regain his breathing back to normal. So I waited. And waited.

I could tell Emil was still unsure. I heard him whimper behind me. But I knew it was important to work with Jin right now. "Are we ok?" I asked as I heard his breathing was slower.

He slowly nodded.

"Good," I showed him a small smile, which seemed to calm him down more. "So, can you tell me what happened?"

He looked at the toys, which he threw away everywhere. He then looked at me. "I wanted to build a race track."

I nodded. "Ok."

"But Emil didn't listen to me."

"And that made you angry."

He nodded.

I nodded. "I understand it's frustrating when people don't listen to you," I said, gaining a nod from him. "But I think we learned how to deal with that, didn't we?"

He looked down, nodding.

"How do we deal with that?"

He kept looking down, as if he was ashamed. "We tell them we don't like that."

I nodded. "Did you tell Emil that?"

He looked at me, and shook his head.

"Then he couldn't know, could he?"

He shook his head again before looking at Emil. "I'm sorry I got so angry."

I smiled at him, proud that he understood, before looking at Emil. I motioned him to come closer, to be a part of the conversation as well.
He stepped closer and looked from me to Emil. "I'm sorry for not listening."

I smiled at him too. I kissed them both on their cheeks before pulling them in for a hug.

"Now that's a nice sight to get home to."

We all looked behind us and smiled.
"Tata!" The boys shouted and ran to her, hugging her. I smiled at that and walked to them, hugging her as well.

"And then they apologized to each other," I smiled as I relived the moment from earlier. "I'm so proud of them." I said and looked at T, who was finally getting in bed.

T sat down in bed and looked at me. "It's good you were able to deal with that situation," She sighed. "But what about later on," She looked at me. "When he goes to high school, or college, or just his future life," She looked down. "How can we prepare him for that?"

I reached for her hand. "That's why I'm working with him on situations like these, so he can learn."

She nodded. "I guess."

I nodded before lying down. "How was your day out with your friends?" I asked and turned my body towards her.

She laid down too and turned her body towards me. "Great," She smiled. "Thanks for pushing me."

I nodded.

"You're the best."

I couldn't help but feel my cheeks reddening. "Only because you deserve the best."

She chuckled. "So cheesy."

"I try."

She looked at me for a while before scooting closer to me. She licked her lips before looking into my eyes. "I had a dream last night."

I nodded, surprised to hear her change the topic. "About?"

She looked down, her cheeks got red. And I knew enough.

"T?" I smiled.

She looked back at me. She licked her lips before leaning in and kissing me.
I immediately reacted and wrapped my arms around her waist, pulling her into me. 

T rolled us over so she was (finally) on top of me again. The kisses turned rougher, sloppier, and wilder, while we started roaming over each other's bodies.
She broke the kiss only to sit up and pull off her pajamas, revealing her beautiful body.

I let my hands go up from her belly, over her chest, over her breasts, to her neck, to pull her back in for a kiss.

I sat up too, pulling off my pajamas as well. T smiled at the sight of my body.

We laid back down, back to kissing. We kissed for a while, we felt each other's bodies, and things got heated.

I let my hand slowly go down her back, caressing her skin wherever I went. My hand went over her butt before going down the front. And right to her most private part.

But T pulled back and rushed out of bed. She left the room in a hurry.

My mouth was open wide as I witnessed this bizarre scene. What had just happened?
