Pharaoh's Queen {HIATUS}

88: "Baby Steps "

Kiya's P.O.V

Naeem walked from one corner of the room to another pick up what he could and moving it. Just planning to redecorate the room to his liking.

"Naeem are you going to put all of this back ? "

"No, moving."

"Naeem who are you talking to now?" I raised my eyebrows. "What you say?"

"No Mommy, moving."

"See you know what to say so please say it."

He went straight back to his moving. I sighed. I watched him he walked leisurely up and down. He was coming from so far and it is almost unbelievable that he is now here. I was so scared for him and now I see him walking and talking and it seems as if he has no past behind him. My eyes welled up and brimmed with tears until they eventually turned over on my face.
He must have felt my intense staring and he stopped in his path and turned to face me.

" Mommy?" He slowly walked towards me.

"I am fine go back to moving your things," I tried to keep him away. He continued to walk to me.

"Mommy?" He crawled up on my lap. "You are sad?" He pouted and his lips quivered. "I am sad ." He wiped my face.

"No my sweet boy I am happy not sad. I am happy that you are here with me," I sniffled and he hung on to me. "Shh, not to worry, " I hugged him.

"Kiya I..." Khai trailed off.

I lifted my head. " He has your emotions," I sniffled .

"Kiya? What is wrong? Why are you cry?"

"Your son said the same thing with different words. You both are the same."

" Why are you crying ?" He walked over and sat beside me.

"I was just watching him walk up and down doing his own thing and it seemed unbelievable. Look how far we have come with him and then I started to cry but I was happy and he saw me crying and got sad and started to cry and here we are crying together for two different reasons."

"My poor souls," he brought us in for a hug. 

"He just triggered my tears even more. He is to much for my heart to handle. Take your son." 

"I told you ," He said as he took Naeem from me. " Seems as if nothing happened before."

"I thought the same thing. It is actually overwhelming but so refreshing to see change you can identify ." My gaze landed on Naeem whose silent crying was over. His eyes were puffy and he was ready to transition into sleep.

I rested my head on Khai's shoulder. "We have been through so much. I think we deserve a break. Just a moment of perfection where nothing feels wrong out of place."

"Something like this?"

"Hmm. This is the moment of perfection?"

"I would call it that . I have all I really need in my arms ."

"There is no way you can get a tear out of me right now," I whiped my face.

"But I know I could get a smile."

"Really," I felt my cheeks heat up.

"Ahhhhh! There it is. You could never hide that."

"You always say these things."

"It has been a while since I have gotten you flustered," he grinned. " I still do it ."

All I could do was smile.

Gosh. Look at him dancing on my hearts strings again. It has been a while since I heard him speak like this. We have been in such a challenging spot for such a long time this almost feels brand new.

I suppose this is what something new feels like. A new addition, new experiences and just a new peace. I am overjoyed that it feels as if I am moving again.
