I'm Scared Of You.

"Twinkle, twinkle little-"
"That's enough.", I cut her off.
"No, please continue.", Solomon said to the little girl.

Kids.
Kids... are interesting. 
Surprisingly, Solomon loves kids.

I sighed and looked around. Many kids.

"Thank you for listening!", the girl said.
"Oh, thanks to you, it was lovely!", Solomon said.
I smiled to her and she ran off.
"She's cute, right?", he said. "But we want someone older."
"How old?" The lady asked.
"Like 10... 15... Maybe.", Solomon said.
"That's very odd, usually couples go for the younger ones."
"Yeah. Well, I need a smart kid.", Solomon said.
"Uhm well let me call some of the older kids.", the lady said before walking away.
"I wish I could adopt all of them."
"You can."
"Just shut up Margo.", he said looking away.
I giggled.
"Look.", he said.
I looked over his shoulder and saw a girl around 6 years old looking out of the window.
We walked towards her and Solomon greeted her.
She looked at us and then back at the window.
"Hello", she said.
Solomon smiled and asked
"What are you looking at?"
"I don't know, I just don't want to be noticed."
"Why?" I asked.
"I can't sing. I don't want to sing."
Solomon looked at me and I shrugged. 
"What's your name?"
"Kathy"
"That's an awful name.", Solomon said.
"Violet is a better name.", Solomon said looking at me.
"Amarantha is better.", I said.
"Amarantha? Amarantha Vernon, yeah that's a nice name."
"Yeah? Let's go Amarantha."  I said smiling. 
"Call me Kathy."
"No, let's go. We'll adopt you.", Solomon said.
"I like Kathy."
"Yeah, we don't. ", Solomon said grabbing her hand.
"Mrs. Vernon, we have over here are the oldest kids in the institution. "
Solomon glanced at them and stopped in front of a black haired boy with glasses. 
"What's your name?"
"Kevin."
"Dumb name, again.", he said. "Dante sounds better."
"Yeah, it does.", the boy said.
"This one will do, Ms.", I whispered to her.
She nodded and took the kids away.
"How old are you Dante?", I asked.
"Eleven."
I looked at Solomon. 
"It's a good age.", he said. "Both of them have black hair I think that's enough."
"They won't look similar to me, though."
"Doesn't matters.", he said annoyed.
"Okay, call the lady, Margo."

"This is Dante and this is Amarantha."
"Hi Miss.", they said at the same time.
"Hi... uhm, what's this Solomon?", Violet asked.
"Our kids. We're parents now."
"That's very sudden."
"Whatever. ", Solomon said. "I called him Dante, it's a great name, right?"
"Yes... it is.", Violet said hugging Solomon. "Congrats Margo". She hugged me too. 
"Thank you, haha."
"Well, we have to go somewhere, kids, say goodbye."
"Goodbye.", they said.
Solomon grabbed Amarantha's hand and walked to the door.
"Let's go, Dante.", I said with a smile putting my hand on his back.
"So how do we call you?", Dante asked.
"Uhm... Margo is fi-"
"Mother and father", Solomon said.
"Hahaha, okay I always wanted a mother and a father.", Dante said.

Whoa am I really a mom now? I feel old. I never thought I would be sharing parenthood with a man like Solomon.
I glanced at him, he walked with his serious, cold face, holding Amarantha's hand.
I blushed at the sigh of this. He looked so handsome.
Solomon looks the cutest as a Dad.

"Mother, you look red."
"It's the sun, don't worry, Haha."

Am I going to be a good mother?
More importantly, is Solomon going to be a good father?
And why did he wanted kids now...?
What're you planning...?

Q: Do you think Solomon is going to be a good parent?
