Baby Boy [DISCONTINUED]

37.

During dinner, Brendon starts to get a little bratty, playing with the food and talking back when Dallon tells him not to.

"Brendon, stop playing with your food and just eat it," Dallon says as he grabs Brendon's wrist and pulls it away from his sandwich.

"No, daddy! Let go!"

Dallon does as he's told, never wanting to make Brendon feel uncomfortable.

"Are you gonna be good now?" "No. I'm not."

Brendon starts playing with the melted cheese again and this Dallon just takes away his food, putting the plate on the kitchen counter and just looking at Brendon.

"Brendon, go to your time-out corner," he says and suddenly Brendon pouts, acting as if nothing had happened.

"But daddy..." He whines and Dallon just points at the time out corner again, without saying a word.

Brendon walks to the corner with a sad look on his face.

Dallon just sighs and closes his eyes for a second.

Taking care of Brendon wouldn't be a problem for him if he wasn't being such a brat, right now.

He was still tired and maybe that made him a little grumpy, but Brendon was being a brat, which meant that there were gonna be consequences and Brendon knew that.

After a while, Dallon walks up to Brendon and sits down beside him.

"Hey there, Beebs," he says and Brendon just gives him an angry look.

"Are you angry at daddy?" "Yeah. You's a meanie." "Why, baby?" "Because I did nothing bad and then I had to go to... to the time-out..."

Dallon raises his eyebrows and nods.

"But baby, you were being a brat and that's why you needed to go to time-out." "I wasn't a brat!" "You were, baby. And you keep talking back to me." "I's not a brat!"

Brendon crosses his arms and looks away from Dallon.

"Baby, please look at me. Why are you acting like such a brat?" "Because you's a meanie." "Why am I a meanie?" "Because you's wanted me gone." "What? Why would I ever want you gone?"

Brendon starts crying and Dallon just holds him.

"I would never want you gone, baby. Daddy loves you way too much." "But you's sent me to Ty and Josh..." "Honey, oh my god... That wasn't because I wanted you gone, love. Daddy just isn't feeling too well and that's why you were staying with Josh and Ty... Daddy missed you so much when you were gone."

Brendon nods and puts his head on Dallon's shoulder.

"I loves you, daddy... And I's got sad because I thought you wanted me gone... Like the bad man wanted..." "No, honey. I would never want you gone and I'm not like the bad man, okay?"

Dallon kisses Brendon's cheek softly.

"I pinky promise."
