Normal is Boring {Jeremike}

Chapter 11

--(Jeremys POV)--

When we arrived home, we got out of the car. Mike went to the other side and brought Mari out. I closed all the doors on the car, and ran to the front door. Unlocking it, I held it open for Mike to bring in the hurt child.

He placed Mari down on the couch, tucking him in. I walked over, kneeling down next to the couch.

"What... Can I make you to eat...? Is their anything you want..?" I asked, touching Maris forehead.

Hot.

I wouldn't be surprised if the poor child had a fever from all that time in the disgusting store room. Mari shifted.

"Do... Do y-you have any s-spag...spag... Uh..." Mari tried to say a big word. I understood.

"Spaghetti?"

"Mhm... An.. Juice..?" He looks up and makes cute puppy eyes. I smiled.

"How about I get you some tea...? Just... For your tummy...? You can have some juice after your tummy is settled..." I rubbed the poor babies belly. I saw Mike smile in my peripheral vision.

"O-Oki, mommy..." Mari smiled and nodded. I looked to Mike with a cheek splitting smile rested on my face.

"Can you watch him?"

"Course I can, ya nerd. Hey, can I have some spaghetti too?" Mike hugged my waist when I stood up. I smiled, giggling.

"S-Sure... Behave yourself though." I kissed him on the nose, walking off to make the pasta.

--AFTER MAKING FOOD CAUSE THATS BORING--

I brought out the bowls of noodles, hand in a small one to Mari, and the bigger one to Mike. Rushing back to the kitchen, I got my babies tea. He graciously took it when I handed it over, and he sipped it.

"T-Thank you..."

"Thanks baby."

I smiled at both their thanks, sitting down on the floor with my noodles. I clicked my little chopsticks together, eating my noodles. Mike looked up.

"Why do you have..." He tilted his head. I shrugged.

"I just like eating my n-noodles with chopsticks." I swallowed my noodles. "I am half K-Korean... My mom was Korean, my dad was A-American..."

Mike seemed surprised. "I never knew that.."

"I have a lot of secrets you don't k-know about me..."

Mari sipped his tea, finishing it. He put his cup on the floor infront of me, and started eating his noodles. I could easily tell he wanted to eat them all in three seconds.

Mike noticed too. "You don't have to eat so slowly... There's more food in the kitchen you can eat after you're done." He said, ruffling Maris black hair, and then fixed his own dark brown locks.

Mari slowly shrugged. "It's alright... I wan save it to eat s-slowly... But... I a-also want to just s-shove my face into these n-noodles and i-inhale them..."

I giggled softly, smiling. "Just eat them... You can have more afterwards.."

"Okay..." He started eating a little faster, scooping them into his mouth happily.

"Th-There you go..." I smiled, and looked over at Mike. He was smiling a big, happy smile.

"I like seeing you eat..." He said. I tilted my head. "The both of you, I mean."

"Ah..." I nodded, looking at Mari. Half his bowl of pasta was gone, and he had sauce all over his face. "How are y-you feeling..?"

"Better... I don't hurt from h-hunger pains as much..." He smiled and finished his noodles. Mike finished soon after, and so did I.

"That's good.... You guys want any mo--"

"Y-Yes please!" Mari squealed, holding out his small bowl towards me. I giggled, and Mike chuckled.

"I'm good, let the kiddo have it. He needs it more then me." Mike admitted. I nodded, taking both their bowls, and the cup.

As I filled Maris bowl back up, and got him a cup of juice, I realized:

For the first time in forever, I was happy. With a family that loved me. My heart skipped a beat. Mike and I were going to get married soon, and I touched my chest.

I smiled. That, my friends, was a very.. Very pleasant thought.
