•SKIP TO A FEW YEARS•
[because the time magic is an actual rainbow][that did not make any sense]
"You haven't talked to Dallon about it yet?" Kate asks, and I nod.
"Phe, we talked about this years back. You have to tell him." Levi says.
"But--"
"Phoenix, we are graduating in a month. You have to tell him fast." Kate says.
"I wish Max was here, he would have helped me out." I say.
"Well, it was not my fault that my son decided to leave this country. Now tell Dallon. Today!" Kate says.
"Why is he your son? Even I am your son, how?" Levi asks.
"Everyone is my child." Kate says in her dramatic voice, and hovers her hand over me.
"Guys, but Breezy's pregnant again." I state, "Dallon and Breezy, they cannot control."
"But it's good."
"I really want him to understand." I look down.
Levi looks at me, "He will understand. I am sure."
------
"Phoenix, please." Amelie whines. That kid had already started speaking. She was stuck to my leg like a glue, and was not letting me move, at all.
"No, Ame. You send random people texts that even you cannot read. And I have been in trouble for that." I say.
"Sorry, Phoenix. Please let me play." Amelie whines.
"What are you two doing?" Dallon enters with a raised eyebrow.
"She is on my leg, not letting me move." I say, flatly.
"Daddy, she won't let me play on her phone." Amelie says and Dallon starts laughing.
"Okay, fine." I give her my phone and she runs away.
"Phoenix, I need to tell you something." Dallon says.
"Yeah."
He comes closer and whisper/yells, "ITS A BOY!"
I swear, I jumped. All of my photographs fell off my hand. I was putting them in my portfolio.
"What?!"
"The doctor said that the baby is a boy!" Dallon picks me up.
"Dad, I am 18!" I shout.
"And still you don't reach my height." He smiles.
"Not a good comparison, dad!"
Amelie comes into the room, "O-o, Daddy me too!"
Next thing you know is Amelie in on Dallon's shoulder and I am in his arms.
What a perfect family photo.
"Why is Daddy so happy?" Amelie whispers.
"Because your father has been scoring a lot, lately." I reply.
"Phoenix!"
"What! I had to say something." I state.
"True." Dallon rolls his eyes.
Breezy enters, smiling. "Hey, Breezy!"
"Hey, now I'll have to handle three kids." Breezy says.
"Three? I am not a kid." I say.
"Who said that? I was talking about Dallon." Breezy states.
"Ha-ha. So funny." Dallon rolls his eyes. "You two are totally going against me."
"I love you too, Dad." I kiss his cheek.
A baby boy, now?
My phone buzzes. It was a text from Kate.
Did you talk to him?
I sigh, "Dad, I need to tell you something."
"Yeah." He says and sends Amelie to play with Zero.
"If you get angry then I totally okay with it." I say.
"Phe, what's wrong?"
"Dad---" I pause, "Can I cook the dinner tonight?"
WHAT THE HELL!
Dallon laughs before saying anything, "Why ask? You can say that you want to cook, then actually cook."
"Yeah." I give my fake-laugh.
Another text:
Phe, DID YOU TELL HIM?
Not today, I guess. I have a dinner to cook.
-------
Note to everyone, when Amelie sleeps, she kicks and hugs you a lot. But I like it for some reason, because she is the first person, Zero attacks.
I sneak out of Amelie's grip, and move to the kitchen. I make myself a cup of tea and sit outside, in the lawn. Zero comes and snuggles into my chest. I smother him. He is the only one who knows everything about me.
"Hey, Phe." Dallon comes and sits beside me.
"Dad, I really need to talk to you about something. And it is not dinner." I say.
"Okay."
"Dad, I don't want to go to college and want to be a photographer." I ramble.
"What?"
"It's okay, Dad. If you don't want me. I'll go to college if you want me to." I say.
"Phoenix, it's absolutely alright if you don't want to go to college." Dallon says, "Of course, I want you to go. But I know that whatever you do is great and you are brilliant at it."
"Really?"
"Yeah, you are great at photography. Be whatever you want to be. I am with you." He side-hugs me.
"Thanks, Dad." I say, "Which reminds me, I have looked at some places and want to apply."
"You had already planned everything." Dallon smiles.
"Levi and Kate made me." I shrug.
"I am greatful of them." He kisses my forehead.
"What are you two doing this early morning?" Breezy walks out rubbing her eyes.
"My daughter is going to be a photographer." Dallon looks upto her.
"Aagghh!! Phoenix let Zero loose on me!!" Amelie yells/laughs.
"I am the best sister." I smirk.
My phone buzzes twice.
Lev: did you tell him???
Kat: DID YOU TALK TO HIM?!?
I smile and text back.
Yes, I did.
