Chapter 31 party and attacks (pt 2)

  Elijah squeals when he sees Serenity, extending his hands and opening and closing his little fists wanting her to pick him up. Moving towards Damien, she clears her throat.

  "May I?" She asks Damien, pointing towards Elijah, who was pouting adorably at her now. He hands Elijah over to her wordlessly.

  Devon looks at us both "I-I didn't know you both were his parents" he speaks up.

  Serenity, Damien and Matthew look uncomfortably at each other.

  "I'm not his mother" she speaks up after a few moments of uncomfortable silence.

  "Uh, I'm sorry" Devon sounds apologetic and she just gives him a small smile.

  "Don't be".

  "Well, I'll see you guys again. Matthew, we've to catch up on each others life man" he says to Matthew, causing him to laugh and pat Devon in the back. They both move across the room, towards the bar. Talking on the way.
