Love At First Kingdom

Chapter Six

"Ohhhhhh who's hungry?"I smile and throw Philip up into the air. He squeals and giggles as he lands back into the safety of my arms. "We are!" I kiss his forehead and walk into the kitchen.

Thomas is there cutting up soft fruit for Philip and making breakfast across the room for us. He smiles wider and looks up when he hears Philip's giggles.  The door and windows that look over the kingdom are wide open,letting in the music from the amphitheater and the smell of sweets and such.

"Well there's my handsome boys!" He smiles and puts the rest of the strawberries in a bowl as I put Philip in his chair.

It's been a few weeks since we've found Philip and we've adjusted nicely.  We take turns getting up and tending to him,most nights he comes in with us and doesn't scream once through the night.  We got him a booster seat so he can actually see the table and us. He's working on his walking slowly, he'll stand up,put one foot out, and face plant. Thomas mentioned that some Fae children develop slower the human children, but hes close to hitting a spot qhere he'll start growing  normally.

"And there's our handsome daddy."I wink and kiss his lips gently and lovingly.  He gives a crooked smirk into the kiss and wraps an arm around my waist.

"And I thought I was kinky." He smirks and walks across the room to Philip.  Philip's smile and eyes grow as Thomas gets closer,he giggles and hugs his dad as tight as he can with his chubby little arms. Thomas chuckles and hugs back while kissing his forehead.

"You are."I agree as I take some fruit from the bowls Thomas made and a sippy cup of milk, I bring it over to Philip and put it on the table imfront of him. Thomas sat down next to him in his usal place and gasps loudly when he sees the fruit.

"Woah aren't you lucky!"He gasps and starts pointing at fruit as he names it off." Theres bannas and, blueberries, and watermelon, and strawberries! Man youre so lucky that Aunt Maria stopped by this morning!"

"Maria visted?" I cock my head as I start making us our own plates. Philip grabs a banna and moshes it between his fingers, he's gotten a few more teeth over the past weeks, and shoves it into his mouth.

"Just for a little bit this morning. She was on her was down to the festive," He nods at the city," and stopped by to drop off some fruit.  She said shed be back later to visit further."

"So that's what's going on down there." I look ouy the window as I set two plates down. He nods and watches me with adoring eyes as I sit down on the other side of Philip. " What? "I smile at him.

" I'm just wondering how I got such a beautiful mate." He reaches over Philip and kisses my cheek, I lean into it happilyand return the kiss. As he sits down he gives Philip a kiss on the cheek and wipes off a piece of stray strawberry.

"Because I'm your mate ya' dork. "I roll my eyes and he laughs.

"Fair enough. " He turns to his breakfast and shoves in a mouth full of eggs while putting some on Philip's plate. "Anyway, they're celebrating the summer solstice.  The sun is highest right now, so therefore we're at our most powerful.  We'll have to go down there sometime today."

"Was there ever a doubt we wouldn't?" I smile and take a bite of toast. His eyes study me and he rests his head on his hand. He gets this dreamy look in his eyes and he shakes his head.

"No. No there wasn't ." He grins at me, then at Philip. "Because I'd do anything for my family."
