~5 YEARS LATER~
"I don't think we should do it." I sighed looking at the paint on the outside of Holdyn's bedroom door.
"Pey, look baby, it's not going to be bad."
"What if he meets a drug dealer? What if his teacher is a drug dealer?!" I asked breathing heavily.
"We met Mr. Combs, he's a nice guy."
"So drug dealers can't be nice?" I asked looking up at Asher. We were having a conversation about tomorrow.
Tomorrow was Holdyn's first day of kindergarten.
"You're being unrealistic. Holdyn will be fine."
"Will he? How do you know that?"
"Because he's strong, and it's kindergarten."
"Asher can't we just wait one more year? Just one?"
"Then he'll be behind."
"But then he'll be safe, or better yet we can home school."
"I have a business degree and you have an English degree. What about math? What about science? What about history?"
"What about him being our son?"
"Holdyn going to school won't make him any less our son."
"But he's going to be different. If he goes out then Holdyn won't come back. My Holdyn."
"If Holdyn gets older he isn't going to be any less your son."
"Holdyn, will be kindergarten Holdyn. Not Holdyn Lucas Greene- Andrews. Our Holdyn eats Frosted Flakes for lunch and hotdogs for breakfast."
"Remember 5 years ago in the hospital. I told you that there was going to be a time when you weren't going to be able to protect him from everything. Right now is that time."
"Asher, why are you fighting me on this?"
"I didn't fight you when you bought Holdyn strictly band tee shirts. I didn't fight you when you were sure converses and vans were all he needed to wear. I didn't fight you when you dressed Holdyn up as different band members for Halloween. Even though I should have. Gerard Way was very hard." I chuckled.
"Peyton I love you. And how you want to raise Holdyn is important to me. You both are important to me. But this is selfish of you. This is selfish of you to want to hold our son back from knowledge. What if he wants to be an accountant?"
"Why would he ever want to be an accountant? Who wakes up and says 'my one dream is to be someone's human calculator.' I would disown him." I said shaking my head.
"What I mean is he will never grow unless you let him have a little, just a little sunlight."
"What if he meets a girl?"
"Then he meets a girl."
"What if they want to get married?"
"They're in kindergarten."
"What if I hate her?"
"You're not supposed to like her."
"Gracie likes me."
"You haven't said yes to marrying me yet."
"Don't change the subject."
"I didn't. I'm being serious. I want to marry you. I'm ready to be with you."
"I'm 23." I sighed.
"I'm 24."
"Asher, I didn't say no."
