Alex's POV

"WAAAAAHHHH." we heard Philip cry again in 3 IN THE MORNING. "What does he want now?" I sluggishly stood up from bed to attend Philip. I picked him up from the crib. "We just fed you 3 hours ago, what do you want?" I rocked him gently to calm him, yet he's still crying. "John get over here." I turned to John. "Do I have to?" he covered his face with a blanket. "Yes, you are the mom in this relationship." I pointed at him. "Fine." he stood up from bed. "Mom powers activate." he lazily raised his arm. He walked towards us. "Okay Philip what do you wa-" Philip gripped on John's tail tightly. Philip stopped crying. "Does it have to be my tail?" John trembled. "Oh c'mon, he's just a baby." I smiled. "I guess he could sleep with us for a while." I nuzzled my nose on to his, making Philip giggle.

We both lied in bed, with Philip still gripping on John's tail. "Does it hurt?" I caressed John's cheek. "No, Philip's baby strength isn't enough for it to hurt." John smiled. Philip fell asleep and lets go of John's tail. "He's so precious." I poked Philip's puffy cheek. "Yeah...I want more kids." John mumbled. "Hmm...you want 7 more?" I giggled. "8 kids? Hmm...I would want them, but one is enough for me." John pecked my cheek.

The alarm clock went off. I'm still sleepy from last night but I have to go to work or else I'll get fired. I woke up and sluggishly stood up from bed. I was held back by John's tail, making me fall back on the bed. "Don't leave~" he pouted. Philip was sleeping on his chest like a little kitten. "Honey I have to go to work." his tail was still tied around my hand. "Please~" John begged and made the grip on his tail tighter. "John, do you want me to get fired?" I glared at him. "No." he shook his head. "Fine, go." he rolled his eyes. He lets go of my hand. "I'll be back at 6 pm, I love you." I kissed his lips. "I love you too little Pip." I kissed Philip's baby forehead.

Well, the two should sleep more. Babies do need sleep, I'm talking about John as well. I prepared myself some toast and milk. I looked at the clock. 6:39 am. I need to leave at 7:15 or else George is gonna give me his disappointed look when I'm late, I feel really guilty when I see the look on his face. Makes me feel like I was his son who did drugs. Those things will never happen. One with me doing drugs and two with me being his son.

I went to work. I was walking down the same old path I always take, with my haggard look after dealing with Philip's cryies. "Are you okay son?" George looked worried, like how a dad looks at his son. "Yes sir, I am." I nodded. "You look like you stayed up all night, what did you do?" he tilted his head.

"Oh, I dealed with my son's cries last ni-"

"YOU HAVE A SON?!"

George and co works who I know, butts in. "Yes...?" I looked at them with an uncomfortable look. "Why didn't you tell us?" Herc and Laf hugged me. "I was." I smiled, with my tired look still plastered on my face. "What's the little guy's name?" they smiled. "Philip." I replied.

Third Person POV

"Philip? Hey is that what Alex was planning to name your son-" Aaron turned to Thomas who was already crying then stormed out. Aaron followed him, Thomas was inside the men's bathroom again. "Tom? This is the 4th time you've cried in the bathroom, crying about Alex." he knocked on the door.

"Come on, cry less, plus you have to move on. It's been a year now, you and James are getting serious about your relationship-"

"We're not in a relationship, he just thinks we're in one."

"Riiight, not in a relationship but both of you still make love with each other." Aaron snickered. "Thomas. Move the heck on. Alex is getting married to someone else and had a kid early, I am quite happy for them." he knocked on the door again. "You're not helping Aaron." Thomas retorted. "Sorry, I know I'm your friend and I offered you some free advice. But this time, my advice would 100% work. Forget about Alex and just focus on your work. I know that you want a three story mansion with an indoor pool and a swirly slide." the bathroom door opened. "Yeah, maybe you are right." Thomas smiled. "Now please, stop being Thomas in the bathroom, my hands are tired from knocking so much." Aaron patted Thomas' shoulder.

"Congratulations I should say, Alexander. Maybe your son will get along with my daughter." Aaron smiled at Alex. "Thank you, Aaron. I'm sure they will." Alex forced himself to smile. Alex went to his office and started working. "Okay, the reception is already settled. All that's left is the invite, who should we invite?" Laf chimed in, holding a clipboard. "Obviously just our friends and co workers. And I'm sure John will invite his family." Alex nodded. "Noted that." Laf wrote on the paper of the clipboard. "You gonna invite Burrito?" Laf raised his brow. "Nah, I had enough of a tortilla wrap filled with attitude." Alex snickered.

"How are Eliza and Maria doing?"

"Oh them? They finished with the theme of the tables, chairs, etc. The colors are nicely combined."

"Thank God." Alex sighed in relief. "That's all, see ya Alex." Laf walked away. Alex's phone rang. John's calling.

Yes honey? Is there a problem?

Problem? No, not at all. Philip's sleeping in my arms while lounging on the couch. I just want to talk to you

Awww, how cute

Also, I found something unique on Philip

Unique? What do you mean?

Apparently...he has a tail growing on his coccyx

A tail?!

Yeah! I was changing his diaper then I found something moving on his tailbone

Wow, does he have any more feline features?

Hmmm...I did notice he has the eyes of a cat and...I think that's all

Wow, damn, I'm- shit, I'm surprised. He haa your features and mine

Yeah- oh, well Philip woke up and started crying, better go, love ya (does kissing noise)

Bye honey~

Alex's POV

I'll be honest here...I myself, is not ready for this kind of commitment, this kind of commitment is really life changing. I know, I know, I took care of other kids before. But Philip? He's my kid, my VERY OWN kid. I have to tolerate his behavior, enroll him in a private school, help him find a job, watch him get married and have kids, grow old with John until our souls watch our son cry in our tomb. Okay I think that's way too heavy for my emotions to carry. Damn Alex, calm the fuck down. You're just pressured 'cause you randomly had a son without any preparation. How come John is prepared? Maybe he naturally has maternal skills and a mother-like figure. Guess he's the wife and mom in the household. I think I should officially adopt Philip before I get married. Though, he will be considered an illegitimate child. But John and I will get married very soon, maybe in a few weeks or in a month. I have unconditional love for my son, I know I have to support him, love him and take good care of him. Until, he will take care of me and John. But my time, John's time and Philip's is waaaay long. I still have enough time to spend with my family, my own family.
