~LEONA~

“Raymond,” I whispered.

My knees wobbled as I took some steps towards him.

he wiped off his hoodie as he also walked to me.

When I saw him, I thought my feet weren’t doing enough so I took to my heels.

When we were close, we stared at each other’s face for a moment as our eyes met and communicated words we couldn’t say with our lips before enclosing our body in a bone-crushing hug.

“Ray.” I mouthed as tears spilled from my eyes.

“Leo.” He whispered back, pulled us apart, and stared at me.

“oh my God, it's really you.” He muttered and hugged me again.

“I thought I lost you and I’ll never see you again Leo.”

” Me too, I miss you, Raymond.”

I pulled back and looked up at him, giving him the look that we got a lot to talk about.

He nodded and placed his hand on my shoulders as we walked from the streets.

“He’s cute,” Ray said and lifted baby Leo from the

 cradle.

“Yeah, he’s pretty.”

“What name did you give him?”

“Leo,” I stated.

His forehead creases as he googled at me.

 “Really?”


“Yes Ray, he’s not my son but my little bro. The only difference is that I gave birth to him.”

” Hmm.. sounds interesting but I am sad.”

” Sad? Why?”

” Am sad that someone is taking over your entire heart. He’ll take all the love from me. I think I'm jealous as well.”

I walked to him and engulfed them in a group hug.

“Both of you are special and the most important thing in my life. I can’t love either of you less.” I said and pecked him.

” Aww, my Leona,” He said and pulled my cheeks.

I giggled and he quickly clamped his hand on my lips.

My eyes popped out questioningly at him.

“Shush…you might wake him up.” He removed his hands and pointed to baby Leo who was busy sleeping in his arms.

I smiled when he began to rock him.

“You’re not doing better, try harder. Being an uncle is not a child’s play.” I teased.

” Yeah yeah, I know. That’s why I am here now. I can’t wait to resume the duty you denied me when you left. Now that I’ve seen you both, I won’t let you out of my sight. Both of you are my responsibility now.”

” Whoa! whoa! whoa! Easy” I exclaimed.

” Another noise and you won’t follow us home.

 Right Leo.. wait. Don’t tell me his name is…” He paused and expected me to say the correct thing but I refused.

“Leo?” He called.
