Hayden's Desire

Chapter 1

"Hadley, Harper, let's go!" I holler to my younger 9 year old twin brothers. They are at my house since dad is at work and I'm in charge of dropping them off and picking them off to their play practices during the week.

"Coming!" Harper yells back just before he and Hadley come from Cassian's nursery where they changed into nicer clothes than the play ones they had on earlier.

Shifting my 2 year old son in my hold as we leave the house before I lock it and we make our way to my car. Strapping Cassian in his car seat before the boys climb in the back with him and buckle themselves in as I make my way to the drivers seat. Starting the car and placing it in reverse, back out of the driveway before placing the car in drive and head toward town to the Play House for their practice.

While they are at practice for two hours, Cassian and I will walk around the shops and then when the boys are done, I'll take them out to lunch before returning home, nap time for Cass and the boys will play while I do my college course work and work-work. Currently it's a day off from school for my brothers hence why they are here all day with Cass and I and had early play practice.

I would stay and watch my brothers and the rest of the cast practice but since I have my baby boy with me, I have to avoid the rest of the cast as much as I can since, Tristan's younger sister, Taryn is also in the play. I don't need her seeing Cassian and questioning my on him and then saying something to her parents or even worse Tristan. I just hope that the two nights of the play, I don't run into anyone from the Cooper family either night.

In the two years my son has been alive and the nine months I was pregnant with him, I have been lucky enough not to run into anyone from that family nor any of their friends who might question why my son somewhat resembles Tristan but more so me. My baby boy still has his dark blond hair and bright blue eyes and a smile that is so damn infectious that you can't help but smile when he does.

Parking the car and turning off the engine, I climb out and wait for Hadley to climb out himself so I can take Cassian from his seat. Once he and Harper were out of the car, I walk the two of them inside, making sure they make it to the stage area before leaving with Cass to walk the downtown shops for the next hour and fifty minutes before making sure I'm there to pick my brothers up on time.

Wandering around the shops after pulling Cassian's stroller from the trunk of the car; finally an hour and forty-five minutes later he and I are back at the car so I can place his stroller back in the trunk of the car before heading inside to pick up my brothers.

"Dada, hunny," Cassian whimpers gently patting my cheek with one of his chubby hands staring directly in my eyes with his matching ones.

Smiling at him, bouncing him a little as we enter the playhouse to stand in the lobby with some of the other people. "I know buddy, we are going to eat as soon as Uncle Hadley and Uncle Harper come out, okay?" I say to him as he snuggles into my chest and his face in my neck sucking on his thumb.

Ten minutes later my little brothers came bouncing out of the stage area wearing huge smiles upon their lips. "Let's go guys," I tell them with a smile after greeting them. "I don't know about you boys, but Cassian and I are hungry."

"We're hungry, too!" they cheer fist pumping the air.

Chuckling at their sillness as I say turning toward the door, "Then let's go out for lunch. We're are we going boys?" I ask as we step outside and head toward the car.

"McDonalds!" they answer quickly; I knew that's where they would want to eat at. Not that I have a problem with it since I know dad doesn't take them to often, it won't hurt this once.

"McDonalds it is then, lets get in the car so we can go," I say as Harper climbs in as I finish strapping Cassian in and stepping back to allow Hadley to climb in as I climb in myself.
