Father & Son

"You're building the barn again?" Patricia asked.

"Yeah, just like how it was"

"You're really taking it all back," said Alex

She smiled feeding her son.

"So when is Steve leaving, you guys have been going out on dates for a while now," Patricia asked.

"His leaving next week and when he returns, he will move in," she said.

"We are happy for you, bestie," Patricia said.

"But I have to ask you this question, are you really sure he can replace Jack in your heart? Yes, Jack hurt you but you loved him and we both know you might deny it but might still be in love with him" Alex let out.

Tatiana frowned, "He was the love of my life but not anymore. I gave my heart another chance when Steve came into my life and am not going back on it," she said.

Alex and Patricia gazed at her and sighed, "Whatever you say"

"So the reason I called you both is that I need your help with choosing, a school for Gabriel," she said.

"Oh, but Gabriel is still too cute to go to school" Patricia looked down at Gabriel.

"Kindergarten will be good for him at this stage and am so busy these days that I can't be with him always," Tatiana said.

"Have you chosen any that you like?" Alex asked.

"I did but I wanted to go see them first before I choose".

"When do you plan to go?"

"Tomorrow, cause I want him to start soon"

"Gabriel can stay with me and Eric and Alex can go with you to the schools" Patricia hurried to say.

....

Tatiana dropped Gabriel at her place the next day, then drove off with Alex to check on the schools.

She had not noticed Jack's car parked at her place.

Patrica walked in holding Gabriel, "Am doing this for the first and last time" she said.

Gabriel turned to see his father standing next to Eric.

"Papa" he called.

"Son" Jack cried.

Patrica placed him down and he ran to his father instantly.

Jack hugged him, and Gabriel was crying now making Jack cry even more.

Eric and Patricia stood aside watching.

"They are really father and son," he said.

"Make sure Tatiana doesn't find out about this or I will kill you" Patrica walked away.

Jack spent the day with his son, who seemed to be intelligent like him.

"He is so smart like me". he said.

Patricia scoffed, "Don't flatter yourself, that's all Tatiana's genes. The only thing that kid has similar to you is your face and blue eyes but everything else is Tatiana"

Jack's smile was lost when Eric took away his girlfriend.

"Love, why don't you go work on your designs" "he said.
