After War Storm

Cal

I loved spending time with Mare like this. Just the two of us, together, with nothing to worry about.

Then came a knock on the door. I inwardly sighed and called out "Who is it?"
"Me," Evangeline called back. "Are you two decent, so I can come in?" Mate blushed a dark red and my side and I gave her a quick squeeze before standing up to open the door.

"What is it?" I asked, slightly annoyed she was interrupting our evening.
"I'm sorry," she said sarcastically, "I'm only bringing your child back." She passed me Ti and I could feel the heat growing as soon as he could sense the flame maker bracelet and round my wrist. I brought the temperature back down.

If you're thinking that Mare and Cal are very bad parents because Ti hasn't crossed their minds once in a while, it's only because I forgot about him. Oops😬

"Thank you," I said.
"Thanks for watching him, Eve," Mare called from her seat on the sofa. Evangeline rolled her eyes, and stifled a laugh, as she took in Mare's appearance. She was wearing joggers and a vest top which I thought she looked good in, her hair was slightly unkempt and she was surrounded by Chinese take out.

"Well, have fun," Evangeline said before turning and walking down the corridor.
"Wait!" Mare called before standing up and making her way over to where I was stood at the door. "I've got to go talk to Eve quickly. You stay here with Ti, I'll be back in a minute." Mare gave me a light kiss before jogging down the corridor after Evangeline. They rounded the corner and I shut the door and went to sit on the couch with Ti.

It was the first time I had spent alone with him. My son. It sounds so crazy, like it can't possibly be true. I don't know how I got so lucky, with Mare with Ti.

I smiled warmly down at the little boy, my eyes filled with joy. I beamed when he spoke. "Dada," he said.
