PLEASE LEAVE ME ALONE.

It has been a few days now that Lucas was living with Seren and Louis. Seren has taken leave from hospital work until Lucas recovered well. Today its weekend and everyone has just finished their dinner. Louis and Lucas were sitting in the hall watching tv and having a cup of warm milk while Seren was in the study room as she was talking to Kevin on the call about some work matters.

Suddenly the glass of milk from Lucas's hand slipped and cracked into pieces on the floor. Louis quickly grabbed Lucas and set him aside as he told him, " Don't come near here" fearing the little guy might get hurt.

Seren came out of the study room hearing the sound of glass cracking. She quickly reached the hall and saw Louis picking up glass pieces. She immediately came near him and helped him clean up the mess. But while picking up one of the glass pieces, Louis's right hand got a cut and blood started flowing from the wound.

Seren quickly brought the first aid box and then helped him disinfect and bandage the wound. She was scolding him while bandaging, " Can't you just stay quiet? Is there any need to mess up everything you do?".

Louis hissed in pain, "Ahh".

Seren looked at him in worry and asked, " Does it hurt that much?".

He chuckled and said, " The wound doesn't hurt but your nagging does wifey".

Seren didn't pay attention to him and just focused on cleaning the wound. She was completely adamant about her ignoring technique. After she completed bandaging Louis said, " Thankyou".

Seren didn't say anything and just looked around as she got up from the sofa and asked, " Where is Lucas?".

Louis too noticed and Lucas was nowhere to be found. Louis said, " I made him stand right here a little far fearing he might get hurt by the glass pieces".

They both searched for this little guy. Where the hell did he disappear out of blue? When Louis opened the door of Lucas's room, he sensed a small silhouette sitting in the dark. He quickly called for Seren who was searching in other rooms of the house.

They both entered inside and saw Lucas sitting on the floor keeping his legs close to his chest and burying his head under his hands in the darkroom. Seren switched on the light and both strode towards the little guy.

Seren asked in a soft voice as she sat down beside him, " Lucas. Why are you sitting here alone in the dark dear?".

Lucas replied still his head buried under his hands, " Don't come near me. I'm a cursed child. Everyone gets hurt who are beside me".

Louis too sat in front of him and tried to talk to him, " There's nothing like that champ. You aren't a cursed child".

When Louis tried to reach out his hand to touch Lucas, he shrugged it off swiftly and shouted saying, " I said don't come near me".

Seren and Louis were both surprised by his sudden action. Lucas was always a quiet child and was always sincere but this time seemed like something different.

Lucas started crying and said, " Please don't come near me. Please mom don't come near me. I might hurt you and I don't want that. Please leave me alone".

He seemed to be in pain. His mental health was not stable. Everyone considered him a cursed child and he never said anything. But this time he was afraid that he might hurt his loved ones just by his presence. he feared that the most.

When all these thoughts and mixed emotions rushed through him, suddenly Lucas was surrounded by the warmth of his mother and father's hug. they both held him close and together.

Louis ensured, " You aren't a cursed child. In fact you're a gift to both your mom and me".

Lucas stopped crying and looked at both of them as he said, " but the glass broke because of me and even you got hurt. Everyone gets hurt when they're around me".

Louis replied, " I didn't get hurt because of you. I got hurt because I didn't pay attention while picking up the broken glass pieces. And about you breaking the glass, that's completely fine. People make mistakes. Even I too make mistakes so not a big deal. And do you know what? There's this one friend of mine who is so clumsy that he probably breaks everything that's around him but still it's fine. There's no wrong in making mistakes".

( Jake getting sneezes in M country because his friend Louis is mentioning his clumsiness )

Seren assured Lucas, " That's right. And you aren't a cursed child dear. Just because others call you that doesn't mean you are like that. You are the most lovely child to me so stop thinking that you might hurt us. In fact, we feel good and happy when you're around us".

Both comforted him but after listening to them Lucas started crying more. Seren asked him, " Why are you crying again, love?".

He replied between sobs, " I don't know but my tears won't stop" and kept crying loudly again.

Lucas hugged Seren and cried his heart out. He held her tight as if he didn't want to lose his mom. Seren too hugged her son back and held him in her arms for a while until he calmed down. Louis smiled looking at both mother and son pair hugging each other.

After a few minutes, Lucas who had stopped crying said in a low voice while he was still in Seren's arms, " Can I hug dad too?".

Louis and seren were both shocked. This was the first time when Lucas addressed Louis as his dad. Frankly speaking past few days Lucas didn't converse with Louis that much. He just used to nod to say yes and shook his head to say no. He was comfortable with Seren but he wasn't that close to Louis.

Seren replied as she stroked his hair, " Of course, dear".

And then Louis hugged his son. He felt great when Lucas finally accepted him as his dad. He was father of a child now. After a moment suddenly Lucas called again, " Mom. Can you please come too? I want both".

Lucas wanted not only his mother and not only his father...he wanted to be in the embrace of both of them. Seren couldn't deny him. Lucas felt the warmth of his parent's love as they both held him closer. It was a sweet family moment.
