"Momma, I am home." Jem called out as he placed his shoes back into the shoe rack neatly, like how he was always instructed to, before stomping over to the living room.

Quickly drying my hands onto the apron that I had on, I went out of the kitchen to greet my precious five years old, leaving the chicken stew that I was making to boil in the slow cooker.

It was one of those rare few days that I could actually afford to get some time off from work to spend with my beloved boy. As the only (legitimate) child of Father, he has started grooming me as the heiress of Demertee Corporations ever since my return back to the twenty first century five years ago. I rarely had any time off to myself, much less have any bonding session with my son. Thankfully though, despite the little amount of time I had with him, Jem has always been very close to me.

I attribute this to the difficult pregnancy that I had. As crazy as it may sound, I am pretty sure Jem felt some of my emotions during the period of time he was connected to me in my uterus. After all, we did share the same blood for that nine months together.

With a big grin on my face, I walked towards Jem.

"Welcome home so-"

The words of welcome died on my lips as I took in the state that he was in.

My lips twitched as I tried to control the laughter that was about to burst out of my mouth. I wasn't sure if I should be laughing or crying at this situation.

Lipstick stains of almost every colour stained his cute little face, and the white top of his kindergarten uniform. Pink, red, orange, maroon. It was as though someone has decided to create an artwork of lipstick stains on the canvas that is my son.

Seeing the expression on my face, Jem gave a solemn little nod, patting my hips as he said, "it's alright momma. You can laugh if you want. I know it is hard to keep all these happiness within yourself for having such an adorable and popular son. Sigh...being too beautiful is a sin too. The female population is too attracted to me."

Did I forget to mention that my son is a narcissist?

Squashing my fist on his mop of chocolate brown hair, I started sighing.

"Jem, who gave you all these lipstick marks in the first place?"

"Kaite and her friends. Kaite brought all her mommy's lipsticks to school and shared it with her friends. They all put it on before kissing me as they said that I was the most handsomest boy in school." Jem exclaimed proudly as his dimples started flashing along with him smiling.

I sighed again. Jem is definitely the best looking five year old around. He resembles a little cherub with his chocolate brown eyes and cute dimples. He will definitely grow up to become one of those guys who have girls swooning at their feet because of their good looks. I mean, isn't this already happening now ?

"Jem, kisses are meant to only be shared by people whom you really love. You should not accept or give them easily. You can only give them to momma now, and the girl that you love in future." I reprimanded gently.

Jem was more like his father than I thought possible, and I definitely did not want him following after his father's footsteps.

"Really? Then does that mean that you love Uncle Sebestian?" Jem asked innocently as his chocolate brown eyes looked up at me expectantly.
