MY DREAM IS TO BE A DAD.

At night,

Seren came out of bedroom without even looking back at Louis even once. She directly strode towards kitchen to fetch some water. She poured herself a glass full of water and gulped it down at one. All those incidents that happened right now rushed through her eyes.

She remembered how she saw Louis's half-naked body and then she even accidentally almost kissed his bare chest when she bumped into him. She was going crazy just by the thought of it. She ran her fingers through her open hair frustrated. She closed her eyes to forget all those thoughts she had but the moment she did, She remembered the incidents more and more. She remembered how she washed his hair and how obedient louis was when she was drying his hair. She remembered the way louis suddenly hugged her from back without any notice. She was flustered by his sudden hold.

She talked to herself, " What the hell is happening to this quack these days? He seriously has a talent to make me go crazy. Ahhhh. What should I do with him? I've been avoiding him as much as I can but he still keeps me bothering these days. I just don't understand what's wrong with him. Sometimes he feels like a man with a good heart but then again he behaves like something different. I'll just let him be. We'll see what happens. Right now Lucas is more important. He must be waiting for me to sleep with him. I should go to him quick".

Saying this she went to Lucas's room where she saw Lucas sleeping with a book on his chest. Seren smiled looking at him. She slowly pulled out the book fearing he might wake up but the movement did wake him up. He was a sensitive sleeper.

He rubbed his sleepy eyes as he asked, "Did you come, mommy?".

Seren replied as she lied down beside him, "Hmm. Sleep now. I'm here".

Lucas immediately hugged her and slept peacefully again. He loved being in her embrace just as Louis said. Seren pecked his head as she said softly, "Good night baby".

The way she saw Lucas hug her, she remembered Louis's words he said before she left the room. She recalled the moment when Louis hugged her and said that her touch feels soft and assuring. She didn't know what she was feeling at the moment. This was the first time someone said this to her.

She decided to not think about this anymore and just sleep with her lovely child who hugged her.

.....

In the morning when everyone was having breakfast together,

Louis helped Lucas spread jam on his bread toast as he passed one on Seren's plate too. Lucas flashed a huge smile at Louis as he said, " Thanks dad". Louis just ruffled his son's hair as he adored him a lot.

Seren saw both father and son getting along together. After a moment she called Lucas and asked, " What do you think about joining the school dear? You've recovered now so I think you can go to school".

The little guy with his brown doe eyes looked at her and said, " As you wish mommy".

Seren asked him once again, " Are you sure about it? ".

Lucas nodded cutely. Seren asked him, " So how about we go to take a look at your school tomorrow?".

Lucas looked at Louis with puppy eyes and asked, " Will dad be going with us?".

Louis smiled and asked, " Do you want me to go with you?".

Lucas nodded as he replied, " I want mom and dad both".

Louis and Seren gave a look at each other. Louis immediately replied, " Alright. We'll be going together".

Lucas was happy. He excitedly exclaimed, " Thanks mom and dad. I love you both".

It was the first time that lucas said I love you to both of them. It seemed like Lucas was getting more comfortable now.

Louis suggested, " How about we go for shopping and dinner after that? ".

Lucas replied, " I am fine with anything as long as mom and dad are together with me".

Louis said, " Okay then. I'll take a leave tomorrow".

Seren asked, " Will it be fine with you? It was already weekend yesterday and now again you will take a leave from work just after a day?".

Louis replied, " It's completely fine. I don't have that much work these days. And lucas is more important. We haven't taken him out for a long time".

Seren said, " Alright then".

.....

The next day Seren, Louis and Lucas went out together to take admission for Lucas in school. It was the same school that Louis attended in his childhood. After school work, the family went out shopping together and also played and enjoyed themselves a lot. They had dinner in a restaurant today and then came home. Lucas was already asleep in his room because he was tired all day. Seren and louis decided to get themselves a cup of coffee together.

In the kitchen, Seren asked, " What do you want?".

Louis replied, " I'll have the same as you".

Seren asked, " But you drink black one with no sugar so why do you want coffee same as mine?".

Louis replied, " I just want to try what your coffee tastes like".

Seren didn't ask further and brewed some sweet milk coffee for both of them. They both took a seat at the dining table as they sipped their own coffee. It was all silent until Louis called Seren.

Louis said, " Seren let's be the best mom and dad we can be to Lucas".

Seren nodded as she replied, " I don't know about anything else but ofcourse we should be the best parents to him".

Louis said, "Hmm. Let's be the best mom and dad together".

After a moment seren said, "Thank you for being a good dad to Lucas".

Louis replied, " What are you thanking for? It's not something I'm doing just because I need to. I'm doing it because I really want to. I love being a dad to lucas".

Seren said, " Still. We didn't marry each other because of love. It was just a marriage of convenience for both of us and Lucas isn't your biological child too. So it still differs. If you were married to someone you loved then that would have been another case".

Louis asked after a moment, " Seren do you know what is my dream?".

She replied, " getting your CEO position and running the company well maybe".

Louis shook his head and replied straight looking into her pitch black dark eyes, " It isn't my dream. That's just a profession I chose to do and nothing else. Do you know what people have their dream as? Someone wishes to be rich, someone wishes to pursue higher education, someone wants to become lawyer or engineer. But my dream is simple yet significant".

He continued further, " My dream is to be a dad. I just want to be a good dad to my kid and that's all. And I have already achieved my dream because of Lucas. I am a dad right now. So I'm thankful to you for being his mother. I'm grateful to you for being a parent together with me. Because of you I got to meet lucas and be a father to him. So thankyou for letting me be his dad. I'll make sure to do good not only at present but as well in the future. I'll do my best I can to be his dad".

Seren was listening to each and every word he said. She was speechless. She just kept staring at him. The man in front of her was sensible and understanding as well. She always thought of louis who played around a lot but this time she got to see a new mature side of him.

Louis's sudden comment made Seren come back to her senses, " I know your husband is handsome but still you shouldn't stare like that for long. At least blink your eyes after a few seconds".

Seren quickly tried to defend herself, " No its not like that".

Louis asked playfully, " Oh really? Then how is it? Please elaborate Mrs. Louis Edward. I'd like to hear what is the reason behind staring at your husband like that if it's not because he's handsome".

Seren replied, " I'm not saying you aren't handsome but I wasn't looking at you because you are handsome. I tend to look at people when they're talking and when I'm listening to them carefully".

Louis asked as he smirked, " So you admit your husband is handsome?".

Seren replied without looking at him as she got up from her seat, " Just think of it as you wish. I don't care".

Louis mumbled to himself as seren left to lucas's room, " I wish you cared".
