Ian's POV~

Right as I stepped out of the school heading towards my car, my phone began to vibrate in my pocket. Taking it out I see that it's from my restaurant.

I wonder why they're calling me? I thought to myself as I tapped the accept call button.

"Hello?" I say into my phone.

"Hola Ian. It's Esperanza."

"Hola Esperanza. What can I do for you?"

"I was wondering if you can watch Danny. The manager asked me to stay a bit longer to help since there's a large party that just came in," Esperanza said talking a bit to fast.

"Oh, I don't think I can. I have something I have to do later," I said. Today is one of Donovan's tutoring days.

"Please, Ian. It'll only be for a couple of hours. My husband isn't off of work yet so he can't go and get him," she pleaded into the phone. I'm sure Donovan won't mind if I don't have all of my attention on him. He doesn't like anyone looking over his shoulder anyway.

"Okay, I'll watch him. I'll be taking him to my house though. So you can come pick him up there later."

"Gracias Ian. I'll call the school now and tell them that you are picking him up. He gets out of school in half an hour."

"Alright, I'll be there to get him. I have to go home first to get the booster seat," I said as I unlocked my car.

"Don't worry about that. You can get him right now."

"What do you mean?" I said as I opened one of the back seat passenger doors. Right in the seat was a dark blue booster seat.

"I already teleported his seat into your car," Esperanza said. With my powers, I make out the small traces of magic that lay in the air.

"Alright. I'm on my way right now to go and get him."

"Thank you, Ian. See you at around three o'clock." With that, the call ended. Closing the door I head to the back of my car and open the hatchback. When I opened it I saw a light blue and green bag with small elephants on it. Esperanza must have also sent Danny's travel bag with me. Placing my backpack into the car I look inside the bag. Inside are just some extra clothes, toys, some snacks, and toiletries.

Closing it back up, I head to the front and hop into the driver's seat. After sending a text to Donovan I start the car and begin driving to Danny's school.

Putting my car in park, I make my way to the front of the school. Standing in line with all the other moms that are currently waiting for their children to get out. Taking my phone out of my pocket I check to see if Donovan has responded to my message yet. Seeing that there are no new messages I put my phone away, the school bell ringing just as I did so. All of the children come running out in a large stampede. Each of them going to their respective caregivers. Looking around I try to spot Danny.

I soon spot him walking with another boy. Both of them reaching into a bag and pulling out small cookies that they are happily munching on. Who I assume is his teacher behind him holding a clipboard.

"Danny!" I call out. Waving at him when he starts to look around for the person that is calling his name. A smile spreads across his face when he spots me waving at him.

"You can have the rest, Noah," Danny said handing the bag over to the other little boy.

"Okay, bye Danny," the other boy said running over to who I assumed to be his mother. Showing her the small bag of goodies he just recently possessed.
