Nephele
I decided to ignore Themis until he left. I didn't want to introduce him to Van, I couldn't really because I know Jett would never allow it, but anyways, I didn't trust Themis and I'd rather not introduce my son to people who are of little importance to us.
Today is the day my mom died and the whole kingdom is still in mourning on this day. All family meals have been canceled and meetings which meant I had all today to think about and be consumed by my mother's death like how my father always is on today. I don't want to sit in sorrow, so I wake up the snuggle bug, dressing us both appropriately in black since I am going to take him over to spend the day with Jett.
"Good morning, Prince." I smile at him, so groggy and very cute in all black.
"Good morning, Mommy." He opens his arms up to me and open and closes his fists.
I smile and pick him up. We manage to sneak past my father and all of my siblings and arrive to the rundown house in no time. I knock on the door once out of habit.
Jacalyn opens it and squeals. "Hello! Oh hello my handsome little nephew."
"Hello Jacalyn, where is your brother at?" I smile as Van wraps his arms around her legs.
"Hi, Aunt Jackie." Van leans back and stares up at her as he holds her legs tightly.
Jacalyn crouches to kiss Van's cheek. "I love you."
"Is that my son I hear?" Jett calls out.
Van's expression widens and he looks up at me. "Daddy?!"
"Yes, that's Daddy." I grin wide exposing all of my teeth and bend down to whisper to Van. "Call for him again."
"Daddy! Daddy, Daddy, Daddy!" Van jumps.
Jett shows himself and open his arms wide. "Van! Van, Van, Van!"
I chuckle as Van leave Jacalyn and sprints for his father, leaping into his arms and trusting Jett would catch him.
"My boys." I smile enjoying the view of Van cuddling up to Jett.
"How is my buddy?" Jett holds Van on his hip.
"I missed you, Daddy." Van frowns and tucks in his chin. Those wide green eyes of his breaking my heart.
"I missed you too." Jett pouts and puts his forehead against Van's. "Daddy loves you though and bought you a present."
"Present?!" Van repeats clapping.
"Yes!" Jett cheers. "Come on, let's go see your present." Jett walks in the living room and hands Van a big box to rip open.
"What a spoiled young prince." I chuckle as Van tears through the box with no mercy. He as some trouble with the tape at certain points and grrs out until he rips it off. He shakes the box hard until a toy play-castle with little figurines of knights, horses, men and women fall out.
"Oh Daddy." Van gasps and hugs a figurine of a knight tight to his chest. "I love it."
"I love you." Jett kisses the top of his head and walk over to me. "Hello my lovely." Jett wraps his arm around my waist and kisses me.
Van beams looking over at the two of us before immersing himself in his new toys.
"Hello. I've been waiting for a proper greeting." I smirk, embracing him now. "You didn't have to do that, I know things are tight for you guys here with your mom getting worse and all."
"Shh, stop worrying." Jett grabs my chin. "Now let me give you that proper greeting." Jett drops his hand from my chin and leads me to his room. "Jac, watch Van for us."
