Ch.6

It was around 8 a.m. when Lisa woke up, she had never felt so good in the morning as she felt right now. Just one look at the small sleeping figure beside her warmed her heart to no end and brought a smile to her face.

After coming back home yesterday, Alexie was already asleep. Instead of waking him up, she changed his clothes into a sleeveless shirt and shorts. She put him in bed and stayed beside him in bed until she fell asleep herself.

She kissed him and went to take a shower to get ready for today. First, her friend Dr. Michelle was coming to check on Alexie. Lisa had told her that she would bring him to the clinic but Dr. Michelle said she would visit her to check on Alexie and maybe have breakfast with her.

There was a small issue, however, Caesar. He would follow her if he's not following Alexie. Right now she was walking to her private bathroom to take a shower but Caesar was following her. She turned around and bent down to face the puppy. "Why are you following me, mister Caesar, huh?"

Caesar just parked and kept shaking his tail. Lisa knew that the dog won't understand her but she didn't mind. Since Caesar was going to follow her anyway she picked him up and went to the bathroom.

She took a shower while Caesar sat beside the bathtub. Wherever Alexie goes Caesar would follow him it wasn't a problem now but it would be one when Alexie goes to school. Besides dogs that will grow to such size need to be trained on obedience.

Lisa finished showering blow-dried her hair put on her bathrobe and walked out of the bathroom with Caesar behind her. She walked into her closet and changed her clothes. She then went to wake Alexie. She kissed his cheek first. "It's time to wake up sweetie. We have many things to do today."

Alexie shifted in the bed but didn't wake up, Lisa found it amusing. She knew exactly how to wake Alexie. She got on the bed and started to tickle Alexie making him sequel and giggle. It was a way she would use with Tommy to wake him up when he doesn't wake up.

"Good morning, mommy," Alexie said yawning.

"Good morning, sweetie. First, you need to take a shower before we have breakfast. Mommy's friend will be eating breakfast with us today," Lisa said.

She took Alexie to the bathroom helped him out of his clothes. She let him shower while keeping an eye on him. Tommy used to path on his own since he was three of course Lisa would keep an eye on him. One time she left the bathroom for a moment it was at that unfortunate moment that Tommy slipped and hit his head.

While it caused only a shallow wound, Lisa didn't leave Tommy for a socend while bathing. She wouldn't even let a maid watch over him not even Angus. Alexie was the same she loved him, just like she loved Tommy, she would worry about him just like she did with Tommy.

Seeing Alexie's body was an unpleasant sight. The skeleton-like body was not to Lisa's liking but she was going to change that.

After finishing bathing Lisa dried his hair and handed him his bathrobe. "Mommy's boy is very handsome," Lisa commented making Alexie blush.

She took Alexie and helped him get dressed she then combed his hair. Alexie then picked a hat which was a cowboy hat. After combing Alexie's hair she kissed his forehead. "Your little friend had been waiting for to wake up," Lisa said referring to Ceaser who was chasing his tail in the middle of the room.

Alexie giggled seeing Ceaser. "Why don't you take him to the back garden?" Lisa suggested.

"Ok," Alexie said walking to Ceaser. Immediately Ceaser starting jumping around. Lisa handed Alexie the leash and he pent down to attach it to Ceaser's collar but Ceaser started to lick Alexie's face making him giggle.

Alexie walked to the backyard with Ceaser's leash in his hand. The backyard was too big that Alexie was actually amazed. But more space means more fun.

Alexie pent down and released Ceaser's leash. He then took a ball that Lisa had given to him before he comes to the backyard. He held it in front of Ceaser and then throw the ball.

Ceaser ran and caught the ball but didn't come back. "Ceaser, come back," Alexie said but Ceaser didn't listen. Giving up Alexie decided to go get the ball.

He walked to Ceaser who was playing with the ball. He tried to take the ball but Ceaser took it and ran. "Ceaseeeeer," Alexie shouted annoyed.

"Master Thomas?" A sound came from behind that Alexie didn't pay much attention to. He didn't know that the sound was calling and went to chase Ceaser.

Behind Alexie was an old Italian man, who was rupping his eyes. He couldn't believe what he was seeing he was seeing someone who was supposed to be dead.

He followed Alexie closely as he was chasing Ceaser. He finally caught up to Alexie and put his hand on Alexie's shoulder making Alexie look behind. "Master Thomas? How....?"

Alexie looked at the old man puzzled, it seemed to him as if the man mistook him for someone. That's when he understood the whole situation. The man thought he was Tommy. "I am not Tommy. My name is Alexie," Alexie said with a smile.

"Oh, ..... Where're your parents, little one?" The old man asked. He doesn't remember seeing the boy before. Not many guests come to visit Lisa, most of the time if they have kids Lisa would encourage them to bring their kids with them. Leaving aside that he knows Thomas's nickname.

"Mommy's inside," Alexie said pointing to the mansion.

"And who's your mommy?" The old man was really confused. In front of him was a little boy who was identical to Thomas and knew Thomas's nickname as well which was a name used by Lisa and Angus only.

Before Alexie could, however, Lisa came to the backyard looking for him. "Alex, come here sweetie," Lisa called for him.

"Coming, mommy," Alexie said then turned to the old man. "Sorry, mister but I shouldn't answer strangers," Alexie said running to Lisa, leaving the old man in chock. The boy just called Lisa mommy, he started to believe he was really seeing things.

"Niccola? When did you come back?" Lisa asked rather surprised. Niccola was responsible for the gardens in the mansion back when her parents were still alive. He used to work for another rich family. When he found that Lisa was looking for workers he left his job and applied for this job.

"I just came ma'am, I was going to meet you before I saw this little fella," Niccola said. He was very surprised. He only left for two weeks and Lisa got a little boy leaving aside that he resembles Tommy so much.

"I thought he was mater Thomas at first," Niccola said laughing.

"Oh, well, they do look pretty much alike, this here is Alexie, Alexie Morgan." Lisa felt happy saying it. Taking her last name was enough to tell everyone that Alexie was her son.

"I see. It looks like master Alexie is having trouble with the puppy," Niccola said pointing at Ceaser.

"Trouble?" Lisa asked with confusion looking down at Alexie.

Alexie nodded. "Yes, Mommy. Ceaser won't listen to me," Alexie complained to Lisa.

"Of course he wouldn't listen to you. Unless you train him he won't listen," Niccola said. It was amusing watching the young lad chasing after the puppy. But he felt bad for him. "If you would allow me, Ms. Morgan, I can help master Alexie training the puppy."

Immediately Alexie's face let up with a big smile. "That would be great, Niccola. You will have to excuse us for now, we have a gust," Lisa said taking Alexie's hand and walking away.

Ceaser ran behind them when Niccola caught him. "Now, now. You can't cause trouble for your little friend, why don't you stay here for now."

Lisa walked inside the mansion heading to the balcony where they will have breakfast. Inside the balcony, Dr. Michelle was already waiting. She had her little niece with her. Her sister and her sister's husband travel all the time so they leave the 5 years old Emily with her.

It's not the first time Dr. Michelle brought Emily with her. She did many times before and Lisa was happy about it.

Lisa enterd the balcony with Alexie in her hand. The moment Dr. Michelle saw Alexie she was surprised. Not only did he look like Tommy but he had the same emerald green eyes as well.

"Michelle, let me officially introduce my son, Alexie Morgan," Lisa said with a wide smile. "Alex, this's aunt Michelle she's my friend and she's a doctor." Alexie tugged on Lisa's sleeves and she bent down. Alexie whispered something in her ear making her laugh. "No need to worry sweetie," Lisa said smiling.

"Worry about what?" Michelle asked confused.

"Alex was asking if you are here to give him a shot," Lisa said making Alexie blush. Alexie only asked people that feel really close to him to call him, Alex.

He felt safe and secure with Lisa. Lisa only showed Alexie her strong sides she wouldn't let him see any week side of her. She wanted him to understand that she will protect him forever.

"Don't worry, no shots," Michelle said laughing.

Leslie led Alex and sat across Michelle, that's when Alexie realized the sleeping little girl beside her.

"So, how did everything go? You know what I am talking about right?" Dr. Michelle said.

Lisa nodded. "I will tell you after breakfast," Lisa said not wanting to talk in front of Alexie. Dr. Michelle nodded.

A maid came in with the breakfast she placed it in front of them and left. Alexie's breakfast was somewhat different. He needed more nutrients and more weight, she hates seeing his body like that.

.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~

After breakfast was over and Alexie had his medicine, Alexie sat down on Lisa's bed waiting for Dr. Michelle to check on him.

Dr. Michelle started the check by asking him to open his mouth wide and he did. She then asked Lisa to unbutton his shirt while she grabs her stethoscope.

Alexie shivered as the stethoscope touched his body because it was cold. Then the doctor reached in her pocket and took a lollipop for Alexie. "That's for being a good boy," the doctor said making Alexie smile.

"Thank you," Alexie said, taking the lollipop.

"Alex, sweetie why don't you take Emily and play in the backyard?" Lisa suggested. It was mainly because she wanted to take to the doctor alone. Alexie happily nodded and ran with Emma. "You won't believe what he was going through," Lisa said angrily.

Dr. Michelle could tell that both Lisa and Alexie are bond as a mother and son. She could feel that unconditional love that she was giving to Alexie. She also can see how Alexie feels safe with Lisa around. "Calm down first, now tell me about his parents. Did you find anything out?"

"Yes, and I wish I didn't," Lisa said rubbing his forehead from anger. Dr.Michelle felt bad for Alexie's parents. Handling Lisa's wrath is not easy, at all. Now that Alexie is her son anyone that would touch him would suffer and Lisa would make sure of it.

"His mom is dead, and his dad is an abusive, piece of s*it. He threw him away on the street. That bastard doesn't deserve Alexie. Just talking about him makes me angry."

Whoever Alexie's father is he just made the biggest mistake in his life. Lisa defends her beloved ones ferociously. Her revenge is the worst this you want to face. It was once when a company went bankrupt because the owner bushed Tommy and didn't apologize. This man was doomed and committing suicide would be mercifully him.
