My Protector

Six

Shannon's POV:

The next 8 days Jon stayed with us.

It was good having him around again but today was his last day to stay because he had to get back to work.

Today was Bentley's first birthday so I invited many family members including my dad, cousins, and big brother who is 10 years older than me.

Jon was nervous being that my family basically hates him.

"It's gonna be okay. They will be happy you wanna be in his life." I reassured him holding his hand gently.

He looked up at me with those icy blue eyes that I fell in love with 6 years ago.

He started leaning in and so did I.

"Dada! Mama!" Bentley yelled.

We jumped back quickly.

I put my head in my hands.

I almost kissed him.

"What's wrong little man?" Jon asked picking him up.

"Sippy." He said.

"What do you want in it?" Jon asked.

"Chock mulk." He said.

"Alrighty. One sippy full of chocolate milk coming up." He said laughing.

The door bell rang as I walked to it.

I opened it revealing my brother James.

"Hey baby sis. Where's my favorite nephew?" He asked.

"He's your only nephew. And in the kitchen. Where's Angel?" I asked.

Angel is his wife who is pregnant.

"She's picking up his present." He said walking into the kitchen.

"Um sis?" He called out.

I walked into the kitchen to see Jon giving Bentley his cup.

"Yeah?" I ask.

"Is this who I think it is?" He asked instantly getting pissed.

"James don't." I say but he has him pinned to the refrigerator before I can do anything about it.

Bentley begins crying.

James let's go of Jon to pick him up.

"What's wrong little buddy?" He asked.

"Hurt dada." He cried.

"Benny I'm fine. Daddy isn't hurt." He reassures him.

Bentley slaps James on the arm.

"Bad ukle!" He says.

I take Bentley from him and put him down to play with his toys.
