Thrown Into Trouble

Family matters

Alex's pov
It stayed quiet for a while before it was interrupted "i'm sorry what now?" Colton says which I have to say I was a bit confused too. I thought he was my "father" for a second which is why I moved so I was further away from him but uncle? I didn't know I had an uncle but then again I don't really know much of anything that's going on with my "father's" side. "I had a younger brother well I still have him but we aren't close when we were kids we were but as we got older we drifted but I was there for his wedding to Madison, Madison Wilson which I presume is your mom" Drew says and I nod "how come I never knew about this before dad?" Colton said "because after the wedding things went back to how they were before when we weren't close and then I found out about Alex and so when he was born I went to go see them but you weren't even 1 when he was born so you would have no way of remembering him and after that I only saw him on occasions and the last day I saw him was during court for who got custody of him I was the one watching him that day" Drew explains. I blocked out a lot of memories of stuff like that to do with the divorce and custody battle and really anything to do with my "father" but him saying that made me remember well it made me remember about him "yellin" I said every time him and my "father" were around each other for too long there would be yelling but my "father" was always the one who started it "yeah there was quite a lot of yelling when me and him were together that's why I didn't go there often" Drew said.

I look over at Colton and he is pacing "but you still never told me about it later in life" Colton said loudly but it wasn't quite yelling "how was I supposed to? There was a high chance you would never meet him again. I didn't want you to get your hopes up" Drew said "how old?" Colton asks lowly but I could still hear him. Drew looked at him confused "how old what?" He asks "how old was I when I met him and how old was I when the court stuff happened" Colton said "you met him when you were one Madison took him to your first birthday party" Drew said "fwive" I say "he was five when the court stuff happened?" Dada asked and I shook my head "I fwive he six" I said "I'm surprised you fully remember that but I guess it wasn't hard to figure out how old he was considering he's almost a year older than you and you were 5 when it happened" Drew said. The room fell silent again for a few minutes everyone taking in the information "I was fucking six! I knew him for 5 years of my life and you didn't tell me about him! What did you tell me once he was gone!" Colton yelled, making me whine and move even closer to dada. "Alex I'm sorry I didn't mean to scare you" Colton says but I don't say anything to him "dad" daddy says and not long after that I feel a gentle hand on my shoulder and I turn to face the person "come on little guy let's go play with your cars again like I said we would do when I came back" he says and I look over at daddy and dada "go ahead baby boy go play cars with grandpa" daddy says with a sly smile and I look at Mason who is glaring at him "papa pway?" I say and Mason looks at me a bit shocked then smiles "yeah we're going to go play" he says and picks me up and grabs my sippy cup "cookie an cars" I say "I have the cars in my pockets but here's your cookie" he says as he grabs my cookie and hands it to me.

The cookie was wrapped up in plastic wrap so it wasn't just laying on the sofa, we then went upstairs to the playroom after he said something to mama Kat and she smiled at me before we left. Once we got to the playroom he sat me down on the floor and sat my sippy cup down as well and then got the cars out of his pocket. They were hot wheels so they weren't that big, "cookie?" I ask and hold my cookie out "do you want me to open it for you?" he asked and I nod "alright little guy" he says and opens it for me and then hands it back to me "tank you" I say and then bite into the cookie. The cookie tasted so good that after the first bite I had to keep going back for more "now I think I get why Colton called you cookie monster, but slow down you don't want to choke plus the cookie isn't going anywhere except for into your tummy" Mason says "sowwy" I say once my mouth was empty "it's ok" he said and then I went back to eating my cookie but slower than before. After I finished my cookie we went back to playing with my cars, but after about 10 minutes there was a knock on the door and Mason got up to see who it was "come to join us?" he asked and I turned to see who he was talking to and saw it's Clayton "no I haven't, can you come help with the situation going on downstairs? Dylan, Danny, and Blake are trying to get Colton to calm down and Maria called Amara to see if she can calm Colton or Drew down and now she left to go get her which only leaves Kat to calm him down along with me" he explained "so do you want me to do it instead of you and you stay with Alex?" Mason asks "no just leave him here and you come help me and Kat" Clayton said "I can't just leave Alex up here alone and you should know that better than anyone" Mason says.
