A New beginning

Epilogue

Third person POV.

4 years later.

"Daddy I'm scared." The now eight year old Delilah said as she held the important papers in her hands. Messiah smiled down at the girl who was too tall for her age.

"There's no reason to be scared D,"

"But what if dad says no?" She was on the verge of tears scared of what her dad might say. Messiah stopped her from walking into the house that Him and Justus now shared. "You want to do it another day? You don't have to do it at all Delilah."

Delilah wiped her forming tears. She wanted to do it.

"I want to." She said as she smiled up at her father, showing her two (newly grown in) front teeth.

They walked in the door immediately hearing Justus voice. He sounded frustrated.

"Jaylen, I'm not your dad, I'm your brother." Justus explained to the five year old. He's been explaining this ever since he could talk.

Jaylen looked confused but saw Messiah and Delilah walk in and immediately ran up to them. "Daddy!" He hugged Messiah legs as he greeted him. Messiah swiftly picked him up and hugged him back. Justus huffed at his little brothers bad habit.

Jaylen have been calling Justus and Messiah his dads since he could talk.

Justus's mom was killed by her husband a couple months after she gave birth. Even though Justus didn't want to he took in his little brother and killed his dad. He didn't like his mother but he couldn't have her killer run free. Justus had a choice to either let his brother go into foster care or to take him in. He was able to due to Messiah's and his stable jobs.

Messiah was still working at the tattoo shop and a night job while Justus is now fully working at the tattoo shop. He was finally out of the streets. It took him some time because the money was fast but He did what was best for his Boyfriend and the kids.

Justus was going to let Jaylen go into foster care but Messiah talked to him for a bit. Justus finally decided to take him in and cared for him ever since.

Jaylen is a shy little boy. He's in kindergarten. A while ago Messiah was starting to think Jaylen had separation anxiety due to his crying every time one of them left the house or left him at school, so he took him to the doctors and it was confirmed. He did have separation anxiety. They are now trying to home school him while showing him the outside world little by little making sure not to overwhelm the little boy.

"Hi buddy, how was your day?" Messiah put him down crouching to Jaylen's height instead. "Dad and me played with Honey and Cloud today!" He said excitedly. Messiah smiled at him and looked over at Justus.

"You did? Was it fun?"

Jaylen rapidly shook his head yes.

"What's wrong Delilah? Why do you have your hands behind your back? Did y'all bring another animal home?" Justus sighed.

They now had two dogs and a cat. Last year Delilah found a kitten in the backyard and cried until Messiah said he would help it. They were going to bring it to the pound but the kids kept begging to keep it and Messiah couldn't bring himself to say 'no' to the two. They ended up keeping the Calico cat naming her Winter.
