Impossible Possibilities

Chapter 17

BPOV

(Mason is 4 months old but appears 2 years old.)

Is it possible for a heart to explode from pure happiness? If so, mine was on it's last legs.

In the shade created by a large fir tree on the edge of our meadow, I sat cross legged watching my husband chasing our little boy around in circles. My book lay forgotten by my side as I packed away our left overs from our picnic and watched my two boys laughing like lunatics.

I couldn't believe how quickly the past few weeks had passed. My baby was now a fully fledged toddler with speedy feet and a rapidly growing vocabulary. Our night time routine had definitely suffered in the past few weeks as we struggled to get Mason to quiet down enough to fall asleep. He would lay in his new big boy bed, talking to his stuffed animals and giggling at their imaginary replies for hours on end. At first we were simply amused by his adorable behaviour, however after a few days of a grumpy Mason, we decided enough was enough. Our chatterbox needed to sleep!

It took two stories from Mummy and one song from Daddy to finally get our little man into a routine. Every night for the past two weeks we'd read about 'Percy the poorly pig' and 'Spot the dog' before Edward had to hum Mason his lullaby to get him to sleep. I loved our night time family snuggles but I just wished Mason would let me pick a new book! I was getting really fed up of that stupid pig. The only reason I gave in each night being because every time the word 'pig' was read, Mason would snort like one and giggle at his own cleverness. My heart just wouldn't let me say no. He is too adorable for his own good.

"DADDY NO!"

Squealing, Mason picked up his pace while glancing behind him at his advancing daddy. In one quick movement Edward swooped down and scooped our squirming little boy into his arms and threw him backwards over his shoulder.

"Hahaha! I got you! You can't run away from Daddy!"

Throwing his head back, Edward let out a menacing laugh while jiggling Mason playfully on his shoulder.

Slapping Edwards back while giggling, Mason darted his eyes in my direction and began chanting for help.

"Mummy help. Daddy bad!"

Laughing, I watched as Edward turned to face me, blocking Mason from my view before slowly walking in my direction.

"Darling, have you seen Mason lately? He seems to have vanished!"

Smirking at the excited laughter coming from Edwards back, I stood from my place and started walking towards my boys.

"No honey I haven't. I wonder where he's got to!"

"Mummy here! Daddy got me!"

Placing a hand over my mouth to hide my laughter, I spoke even louder, playing up our game.

"Did you here that honey. I thought I heard a little noise. Huh maybe not. Should we start looking for Mason?"

His laughter instantly increased as he peeked around Edwards waist and saw me lifting up plates and calling his name.

"No mummy I' here! Daddy's back!"

Lifting the picnic basket I called his name a few more times before standing and shaking my head in worry.

"Its no use, I can't find him. Why don't you look that way and I'll stay here in case he comes back?"

"Good idea!"
