TWENTY-TWO

Niall, Freddie and I were still at the park, kicking and passing the football to one another, but I still carried the inside feeling of immense happiness due to the recent information I had from my boss.

I could have my son at least a little longer.
I could enjoy this moment with the tranquility of knowing that Brianna wasn't going to take him from me in two days.

Just the knowing that this wasn't going to be the last time I played football with him, was enough to make me smile like an idiot.

"Dad!" - Freddie exclaimed, getting my attention again. - "You lost the ball!"

I looked behind me, seeing that I Indeed had missed the pass he directed at me for being too caught up inside my head.

"Sorry buddy." - I ran towards the rolling ball and then returned to the pitch. - "Ready?" - I smiled at him, setting the ball down right in front of my feet.

"Yes!" - Freddie exclaimed.

"Okay." - I chuckled, kicking the ball gently at him.

He kicked it back, hitting it hard and making the ball roll out of the pitch again.

"I'll get it." - Niall said, running behind the ball.

"Dad, I'm tired!" - Freddie said, sitting on the ground and extending his arms for me to take him up.

"Mmmmm... Want to head home already?" - I asked him, getting him up and settling him on my hip.

"No. I want to play there." - He pointed to the playground where other kids were having fun too.

"Okay." - I smiled at him, pecking his forehead. - "Ni, we're going over there." - I signalled him with a gesture.

Niall shrugged and nodded, following us.

I put Freddie back on the ground and he ran towards the games, quickly making friends as Niall and I sat on one of the benches surrounding the playground.

I sighed in contentement, the smile never leaving my face.

"Why are you so smiley now?" - Niall frowned. - "What happened?"

I bit my lip and turned to him.

"I have good news."

"Really? Thank God, it was damn time." - He said. - "Good news about what?"

"Brianna won't be able to take Freddie out of the country." - I smiled. - "At least until she gets an authorization."

"How so?" - He asked.

And then I told him everything, what my boss had told me and the fact that I had completely forgotten about this really important detail.
That Brianna needed my signature.

Niall shook his head in disbelief.

"It was that easy?! We had been worrying over nothing?!"

"Hey, we're in public. Shut up." - I huffed. - "And no. I'm still screwed. But at least it's an obstacle on her side. So, I'll take it as a win for the day." - I shrugged.

When I returned my attention to Freddie again, he had moved from the swings and was sat inside a sandbox with a little baby girl.
The father of the girl was actually helping her stayed seated while she played, obviously too young to balance on her own.
