Just Like Me Pt. 3

   "Let me get this straight..." Error sighed softly. "You saved this little boy from his captor and he wont listen o anyone else so your solution is to what... adopt him!?"
   "Yup... " I popped the P.
   He sighed and rubbed the sides of his head. "When did I become the voice of reason? Don't answer that." He sighed.
   "I'm not leaving him alone... " I mumbled.
   Error blinked and sighed. "I know. Does mystery boy have a name?"
   "It's Jessie." I sighed.
   "No last name?" Error hummed crossing his arms.
   The cop returned. "Here is the paperwork. And I found information on Jessie here. His mothers name is Allison Wilson. She died last year in a mental hospital."
   Error and I locked eyes. That's... impossible... right? "S-sorry what was that..?" I asked softly.
   The cop looked up after handing the papers over. "Allison Wilson. She had an incident four years ago and lost custody of Jessie." He furrowed his brows," An incident where she shot a young man... named Error Queen..."
   I swallowed thickly and pulled Jessie closer. He's... Allison's son. That's why she disappeared. She met someone and had a kid.
   Error swallowed and clutched his chest where the bullet once was.
   "Oh." The cop murmured. "Just... return the paperwork to me... when you finish." He turned to leave.
   I nodded. "Yeah... Okay.." I suddenly felt very sick to my stomach. I reached over and picked up the papers. Suddenly... I felt a deeper need to protect Jessie.
   "Fresh... you're shaking." Error whispered.
   I stopped. "Sorry. I just... I gotta keep him safe now. I feel... obligated.." I mumbled. "He was so scared and... that's exactly how I was and hes just. Hes her son! And I know Faris and his mom wont take him because they hated Allison and he has no one else and and–" I was rambling.
  "Daddy...?" the small voice stopped me.
   "Jessie..?" I looked down.
   He was looking up from where he was nuzzled in my side. "Are you otay..?"
    I smiled softly. "Yeah. Im alright kiddo." I ruffled his hair. "Hey there's someone I want you to meet!"
   "Who..?" He asked softly.
   "Hey there kiddo. My name is Error." Error flashed an awkward grin.
   Jessie sniffled and buried his face deeper into my side. "Hi..."
   "This is my brother." I hummed and went back to filling out paperwork.
   "Daddy..?"
   "Yeah?" I asked not looking up.
   "I love you..."
   My soul twisted. How can someone this sweet...be related to him? "I love you too kiddo."
   Error hummed and smiled. Somehow I could tell what he was thinking. He was thinking 'this is gonna be a good thing.'
