Noah's POV: it's short because I'm gonna do a litttle time jump since being at school/office is lowkey repetitive.
I give Hunter the biggest hug before running into m classroom. "Theo! Hunter s-say yes can go to b-birthday!" I tell him. "Really! It's gonna be awesome, we'll play all kinds of games, my mom even got pin the tail on the donkey and a piñata!" He tells me. It sounds fun, i wonder if Hunter will let me have a birthday party in winter.
Miss Hannah has me working on worksheets allllll day! I do math and shapes and words and colours, and I get them all right! She even gives me a gold star with my name on it! We hang it up on the happy wall, and I get to take one home to show everyone. "L-like cer-tick-et? Sebby have lots." I ask and tell Jesse. "Yeah, the star is like a certificate, it's like a reward to celebrate doing so well. See, look. I have 4 on the wall. My first one was for reading, and the second for math." He tells me. Wow he has 4! "So smart! G-good job!" I say giving him two thumbs up, he did so good that he doesn't just get one thumb up, he gets both!
Nicks POV:
Hunter goes into the office on time today while I wait to take Reid with me. I spend the morning looking through old photo albums for that picture of dad for him, and finally find it. I quickly scan the photo, and put it back, checking the time. If I leave now, I can get it printed for him before I have to grab him from school.
Keeping the photo in my briefcase, I head to the school to pick Reid up. Unlike Hunter, I let him finish art class before heading in to get him. He talks a mile a minute in the car to me, going on about the spring concert and how he wants to duet The Archer on piano with Aaron, and how they're going to play it for the dog Archer, and that his music teacher suggested maybe asking someone to do vocals for them, though he doesn't sound excited about that. I wait until he's set up for his online classes before giving him the picture. "Hey Reid, I've got something for you." I say, making him perk up, which causes Archer to perk up beside him as well. "I told you I'd find it, and I got it printed and laminated so the colour won't fade over time." I continue, handing him the photo. He looks starstruck, tracing the photo, before launching himself into me for a hug. He sets it up right next to his computer screen, and I see him look at it every so often with a soft smile.
Hunters POV: (time skip to end of week)
We had a good routine worked out this week, other than Monday, it went smoothly. Noah adjusted to being home alone with Atlas after school, and on Tuesday we all came home to everything in the kitchen and living room labeled, literally everything down to the dent in the wall from Alex and Spencer throwing a ball inside. Noah's excited learning all the words and how to spell them, and constantly spells out words to us now, every time he tells us he loves us, he spells out love and draws a heart in the air before blowing kisses. It's now Saturday, and Nick, Atlas and I are staying home with Noah to explain the whole "your mommy and daddy aren't really your mommy and daddy" thing, while the rest of the boys go to the station with Bellamy. We have all somehow avoided talking about anything serious this week including the custody thing, our ex nanny who kidnapped Noah, and the upcoming trial, but once we have this talk with Noah, it's gonna open up conversations about everything else.
This is a short chapter because it's leading into my already 1/2 written next chapter that is gonna be kinda long I hope lol sorry for the wait again, works been crazy busy
