Missing in action

Chapter twenty

He sucked his lip into his mouth and his eyes crinkled at the sides slightly. He let out a little sniffle before bursting into tears. He gripped my jumper for dear life, hiding his face and softening the sounds of his cry. I pulled him closer to me and rocked him in my arms, Lando still hadn't moved. 

"Why you crying mango" I whispered to him. 

"Are  you sure thats my daddy" he asked, his head still buried in my jumper. 

"Yes I promise, you okay" I replied stroking his hair. 

"Then I'm happy" Theo commented looking at me.

"Good, do you wanna meet him" I said as I wiped his eyes. 

"What if he doesn't like me" Theo whispered in my ear. 

"He will love you mango, you're amazing" I reply quietly shifting him on my lap. Theo nodded jumping off my lap and reaching to grab my hand, he was slightly shy but he looked excited. I stood up and followed Theo as he dragged me along. 

"Hey" Lando said as he crouched down to come face to face with his son. 

"Hi can I call you daddy" Theo said looking back at me.

"Of course you can" Lando replied smiling at me. He had a beautiful smile and they way he was talking to Theo right now made me want to create another child with this man. Theo jumped at Lando, embracing him It took him by surprise before he hugged him back. 

"Do you wanna see my room, I got a big boy bed" Theo said holding his hand. 

"What's a big boy bed" Lando asked standing up, he looked towards me with an even bigger smile than before. 

"I got a proper bed, come and see" Theo walked towards his room looking back to make sure we were following him. I offered Theo a smile to match his as he ran into his room and jumped on his bed. 

His walls still had animals painted on it from when he was a small baby, he had a massive tree painted in one corner with pictures of him growing up on it. Below he had a massive bean bag and his toy box. His new bed was a double bed pushed in the corner of his room with a cars duvet cover. He had a small wardrobe in the corner but he hadn't gotten to wanting to pick his own clothes out yet so he hadn't opened it. 

"Woah this is amazing, your bed is massive" Lando said looking our tiny son in the middle of a double bed. 

"Mummy says I sleep like a hurricane or something" Theo giggled back at us. 

"Yeah your tiny body takes up the whole bed" I teased him as I went to sit on the edge of his bed. Theo burst into laughter at me.  

"Says mummy and her big bum" Theo replied back to me in-between laughs. 

"Uhh mister where have you heard that from" I asked in pretend shock as Theo continued to laugh. 

"Aunty Anna says it all the time" Theo laughed out as he scooted away from me on the bed. 

"I think mummy needs to have words with aunty Anna then" I teased him as I got up and took a couple steps towards Lando. I turned my back to him watching Theo look out of the window pointing to things going past. 

"I think aunty Anna might be right though" Lando whispered behind me. I gasped as I spun around to look at him staring at my arse. I held back a laugh as I pushed his arm. 

"Daddy come see my sunglasses" Theo shouted bringing us back to current times. Theo shot between us running into the living room. We followed him closely. As Theo was standing near the sofa with lando I saw a post it note on the fridge.
