Our Little Family (COMPLETED)

Lost In The Store

When we woke up, I took a look in my fridge and realized I didn't have any food. Crap. I completely forgot to go shopping this week.

I decided maybe it would be fun for the kid to go to the store. It's better then sitting around until Zoe and Evan came to get him.

I got Jr ready and drove to the nearest store. I sighed as I noticed how many people there were in the place. This isn't going to be quick and easy.

"Hey, Lil me"?

"Yeah, Uncle Connor"?

"When we go in here, stay with me, okay"?

"Okay".

I smiled slightly and took the little boys hand in mine. The store was completely packed with people. I hated shopping when it's this crowded.

The two of us walked around the store gathering my weekly assortment of groceries. I bent down to get some bread from the shelf, when I turned around Oakley was gone.

"Lil me"? Nothing

"Jr"?

"Connor Jr"?!

"Oakley"?!?

"OAKLEY CONNOR HANSEN"?!

My heart was beating out of my chest. I promised my baby sister I'd watch and protect her only kid. How can I tell her I lost him in the store filled with like... 50 billon people?!?!

OAKLEYS POV
I saw the toy section across the store. I saw a Batman action figure and got excited. I ran through the crowds of people. When I looked around, I couldn't see Uncle Connor anywhere. Oh no...

"Uncle Connor"? I called

There were to many people everywhere. I started to panic like Daddy does sometimes. I tried to breath but nothing was working. I remember Mommy telling me to stay in the same place.

I stood in front of the toy display hoping Uncle Connor found me soon.

"Excuse me, sweety? Are you lost"? A woman asked me

Should I tell her? Mommy and Daddy say don't talk to strangers. So I just shook my head no quickly and ran off to where Uncle Connor last was. I saw him talking to a man and woman.

"He's 3 years old, blonde hair... blue/green eyes... he's wearing a dark shirt with a dinosaur on it. His name is Oakley Connor Hansen".

"UNCLE CONNOR"!

He turned around quickly and looked happy.

"Oakley"!

I ran into his open arms. The man and woman still stood behind him smiling.

"Glad you found him, you babysitting"?

"Yeah, for my little sister and her husband". Uncle Connor explained

"You're sister will be happy you found him". The man laughed

"Yeah, she'd kill me... metaphorically".

The couple went off and Uncle Connor and I headed to check out. I felt bad for scaring him. He seemed to have forgotten all about it.

When we made it back, Uncle Connor made me food and then packed my stuff. I was going to miss him a lot but, I really missed Mommy and Daddy. We sat together on the couch to watch some cartoons before there was a knock on the door.

Uncle Connor smiled at me before going to awnser it. I watched the array of colors flash on the TV before hearing Uncle Connor call for me. I stood up and ran to see him there with Mommy and Daddy.

"Hi, baby boy"! Mommy greeted

I ran into her arms excitedly.

"Thanks for everything, man". Daddy smiled

"It's no problem, guys. He was amazing".

Uncle Connor handed my bag of stuff to Dad. Mommy carried me to the car. With one final wave to Uncle Connor, we left.
