Inferno Part 2

~82~ You're Going To Be Extraordinary

Sasha's POV

Mason is a mess today. We are taking the kids and driving an hour to see his mom. This is the first time in almost two years he has seen her.

He begged me to go with him. I didn't want to at all. I wanted to stay home. But when I told him that, he was almost in tears. I knew I had to go. Drew isn't going. He's staying with mom and dad.

"Sash, we need to leave in ten minutes. Are you ready?" He asks me.

"Yeah" I say, giving him a smile.

I go in and see if Dylan is ready.

"You ready?" I ask with a small smile.

He just nods, getting his shoes on and coming out of his room.

Josie comes out, and ignores Mason. She is still mad at him.

"Ready, Jos?" Mason asks her.

She just glares at him.

"Jocelyn Grace, yes or no"

"Yes"

"Ok, let's go" he says as he grabs his keys and his wallet and puts them in his pocket. Then he looks at Drew.

"Come on, little dude" he says with a smile.

Drew toddles over to Mason, and reaches out his arms.

"Up" he says with his toothy grin.

"You don't want to walk?" Mason asks him.

"Up" he says, getting impatient.

Mason chuckles as he picks him up and carries him downstairs.

"Here, take this monkey" Mason says, handing Drew to dad.

"There he is!!! We've been waiting for you, Andy Man!" Dad says, scooping him up.

"Mow!" Drew squeals.

"Huh?" Dad asks, confused.

"Mow!" He says again.

Dad looks at me and shrugs. "Gonna need a translator for that one" he chuckles.

"He wants to see Mouse" I grin.

"Ah! Come on, Andy Man. She's snoozing in the window" he says as he carries him to the foyer.

Drew squeals as he reaches for Mouse.

"Be nice, Drew" dad says as Drew takes a fistful of fur and yanks.

Mouse promptly pops dad on the hand.

"Ouch. I didn't do it, ya crazy feline" he says, rubbing his hand.

Drew squeals and stomps his feet, excited. He thought that was hysterical.

He reaches for Mouse again, when dad pulls him away.

"No you don't, Andy Man. I don't wanna get popped again" he says grabbing his hand and making Drew walk away.

"No!!!" Drew cries, starting to throw a fit. "Mow!"

"No, all done. Mouse is going to go night night" dad says, crouching down and looking Drew in the eyes.

"No!!!" He cries.

"Wanna go find grandma and get a cookie?" He asks softly.

Drew sniffs and gives him his dazzling smile.

Dad laughs. "You are already like your momma. Charming me into giving you cookies" he says, smirking at me.

"Come on, Cookie Monster. Good luck, guys" dad says seriously, looking at us.
