Chapter 13;

Caspers POV

It's been a few days since I last saw Felix. We got the house sorted out, the only thing left was for us to paint the living room. It's been...tiring. To say the least. Beau has been playing on my nerves more than he should be allowed, and even letting him stay back at the pack house was not helping his attitude.

Maybe he's hitting on my nerves because I didn't let Tiffany stay over one night? He's never acted like this, such a turmoil of emotions spewing from his little body like a lava trying to escape a dead volcano? I've never had to deal with Beau acting like this, and it's been taking a toll on me as well. I don't know, maybe I'm a bad father after he saw Felix and he couldn't act like a son with him?

On the good note, I was finally able to get an appointment with Dr Foye, and it's today! I'm exited and nervous to say the least, I think that's expected to be honest. I've never seen a therapist before. Let's just get this over with shall we?

"Come on Beau! I'm going to drop you off at grandmas and grandpas today for an hour or two." I shouted from the end of the stairs, hearing the pitter-patter of his feet against the wooden floor. His hair was a mop of mess and the t-shirt I dressed him in was changed to a different one.

He didn't say anything and the silent treatment was worse than when he started lashing out on me for random things. I didn't want to shout at him, I've never been that sort of person and parent but for the past few days that boy was pulling on my last strings. He huffed and put the black vans on his feet, not tying them properly.

"Come on buddy, i'll help you tie them up." my hand outstretched itself but was slapped as soon as it appeared in his sight. Okay that's enough I think. He's my child, not my friend. I don't deserve that sort of treatment!

"Okay, that's enough. I've had enough and you-" I pointed at him while crouching to his height "- young man should not treat me like this! You're either going to tell me what's wrong or you can say goodbye to going to your grandparents today." I stood up, putting my keys back in the metal bowl next to the door.

How dare he treat me like this? I knew having a child will tire me out most of the time but I never knew that Beau, my sweet Beau would be going through his rebellious stage at the age of four?! Without noticing, my feet made their way to the couch where I sat down.

"It's now or never young man. Get your butt here, because I have time. And I'm sure for a fact that you want to see Tiffany today."

A grumbled reply was brought my way, while he sat on the bean bag opposite the couch. The coffee table was the only thing separating us. I made myself comfortable, both of my hands clasped at the front of my knees with my elbows digging into my thighs.

His little hands were tucked underneath his armpits and the pout, mixed with the glare he was giving me was not helping his cause one bit.

"Now we can talk this out nicely. Your choice. I have all day." Okay that was a lie, I didn't have all day. But he didn't need to know that.

His turquoise eyes bared themselves into my own, green ones. I didn't budge, and he was the one to make the first move in putting them down. Good choice kid.

"Why can Tiffany see her dad but I can't?!" He shouted, his voice not quivering one bit.

Okay, we have to deal with that again. I thought it was something else. You can do this Casper, I believe in you.

"Look, pumpkin. You saw Felix the other day, but you know it's not the right time to tell him. I thought you knew that?" My voice was softer now.

I heard his sniffles before the droplets of water that made their way down his tanned cheeks. He put his palms against his eyes and it broke my heart to see him like this. My own child broken hearted.
