Pumpkin Carving Fun

Author's Note: I hope you guys enjoy this chapter and please let me know what you all thought.

    Everything stayed silent between them all as Officer James was just in complete shock at being called dad and Carlos was shocked that his baby sister would say that. A few minutes later Lola came over after paying for the pumpkins.

    "Okay what's going on?" Lola asked when she came back to find them all silent which was completely not like any of them. "Mal called your friend dada!" The small boy told Lola, making her freeze as she looked at her boyfriend.

     "Oh my gosh! James I am so so so sorry she did that! She's just confused! Mal he is not your dad," Lola rambled out as she quickly picked up Mal from Officer James as she felt so embarrassed that her daughter called her boyfriend dada especially when James wasn't her father.

     The small baby just giggled as she looked at James again. "Dada!" The small baby called out again making Lola feel even more embarrassed.

    "Mommy he's not our daddy right," the small boy asked Lola, making her feel even more awkward as she looked at her now confused son and uncomfortable boyfriend.

     "No buddy, he's not your dad," Lola told Carlos who looked at her in confusion. "Oh then why does Mal keep calling him dada," the small four year old asked Lola who just sighed. "She's confused. She's only one," Lola told Carlos hoping to stop the awkward and uncomfortableness, but it just led to more of it.

      "Oh then who is our real daddy!" The small boy asked his mom making Lola freeze up as she didn't want to answer that question. Their dad was not a good person and it hurt just thinking about him and what he had done to her.

        And she didn't want her kids to ever meet him as he didn't deserve to meet them. Noticing Lola's uncomfortableness James just quickly snapped out of it as he looked at the confused four year old.

       "Hey buddy why don't we talk about something else now. So are you excited to carve pumpkins," Officer James told the small boy causing him to quickly turn his attention to Officer James as he smiled.

       "Yeah! It's my first time carving a pumpkin! I can't wait!" The small boy told Officer James as he began to ramble on about carving pumpkins, making Lola sigh in relief as she gave her boyfriend a grateful look as he had saved her from the awkwards and uncomfortable talk.

         "Alright well come on buddy! Let's go back to my house, so you can carve some pumpkins," Officer James told the four year old making him laugh as he looked at Lola. "Mommy can I ride with your friend!" Carlos asked Lola, making her laugh as she looked at James.

         "James do you mind if Carlos went with you," Lola asked James, making him smile as he was enjoying getting to know his girlfriend's son. "Yeah sure we're all going to the same place," Officer James told Lola, making her laugh as she looked at the excited four year old.

           "Yay! I get to ride with the police officer!" The small boy screamed out excitedly making Lola and James laugh as James looked at Lola. "You know you could always ride with me as well if you wanted to," James told his girlfriend, making her blush.

             "I would love to, but I came in my car," Lola told her boyfriend who just laughed. "It's fine you can leave it here and get it back later," James told Lola, making her laugh.

             "Alright yeah sure let's go! Oh wait I have to get their car seats! Why do I keep almost forgetting about that!" Lola rambled out making James laugh.

               "Alright well then maybe we should just take your car and leave mine here," Officer James told Lola who smiled. "Yeah let's do that!" Lola told her boyfriend excitedly as they made it to her car and Lola buckled Mal in.
