Secrets (up for adoption)

Part 16

Scott

I had three words in my head.

'What. The. F*ck.'

I was staring at Mitch with shock and he started giggling.

"Isn't it pretty? Look what else I can do!!!" He said excitedly and he held up his hand and there was a little ball of lightning.

"How... how are you doing that...?" I asked him.

He looked at me, the ball disappearing and he shrugged.

"I don't know... I just do." He said yawning and snuggling to my chest.

I decided not to overthink it right now so I just ran my fingers through his hair and let him fall asleep.

I looked at the ceiling and smiled at the words written so beautiful before kissing Mitchs head.

He snuggles closer to me when I kissed him so I decided to lay down and pull him close so we were spooning comfortably.

As I sat there for hours I couldn't stop thinking about Mitch. Why does he have these powers all of a sudden? Are they the only ones or are there more...?

About three hours later I felt Mitch shift. He pushed himself as close to my body as he could get so there was no space between us anywhere. He buried his face in my chest and I could feel his warm breathing through my shirt.

I wrapped my arms around him. It is crazy how perfectly he fits in my arms. I sat there admiring him, as I so often do, when I felt him start shaking and his breaths became uneven. I felt his tears soak into my shirt as I tried to wake him up.

"Mitch... Wake up baby, it's only a dream. Please wake up sweetheart." I cooed into his ear as if he was a child.

He didn't wake up and instead let out a heart wrenching sob. I kissed his face repeatedly, saying "you'll be okay" in between each one.

He calmed down slightly and gripped my shirt tightly.

"Please.... Don't let them take me..." He mumbled against my shirt, still crying a little.

"I won't let them hurt. I won't ever let anyone hurt you." I said to him.

With those words he calmed completely and snuggled close to me again, kissing my shirt as he said one word that made my heart soar.

"Mine." He said and then he woke up. His eyes flew open and met mine before he burst into tears, hugging me close and burying his face in my neck.

"I thought you were gone! I thought you where dead!" He mumbled against my neck.

I stroked his hair gently.

"I will ever leave you baby. Pinky promise." I said and smiled as he looped his pinky with mine and I kissed our linked hands.

Sorry it's short guys but this chapter and the last one are important and will come up again!
