“So how are you guys? Are you hungry? I'll stop by the drive through. I would cook but I have to return to work.” He said
Sihan could see the tiredness under Amani's eyes, he frowns because he knows Amani's job takes up most of his time and energy being a doctor is not easy.
“You're not staying the night?” Noah asks, a little bummed out.
“sorry little Jimmy Stein, but no, dad's gotta work hard to make some doe.” Amani jokes.
“You didn't take any vacations or many days off this year, should you be overworking yourself like this?” Sihan asks worriedly.
“Awe chucks, I made Bambi worry about me, what am I ever to do?” He said teasing.
Sihan blushes then pouts, “I-I'm being serious!”
Amani chuckles; he feels happy, he uses one of his hands to pat Sihan's head as the other steers. Noah smiles, he is happy, but he is also worried about the what if…
In his past life his sister used to tell him about the ‘tropes’ of story writing and right now they are playing out one of them, the runaway mother/bride trope. This trope is the one that mc runs away from the gong, then comes back with a child trope, and everything checks the boxes: the five years, the ghosting and also returning as a bakery owner…
Yes, Sihan owns a bakery now. It's what he has been saving for and it's already been fixed up and prepared. The only thing left is to buy ingredients and open it. Noah feels gloomy, but he will not let them end up together over his dead body.
“Noah? Are you constipated?” Amani asked, looking through the rear view mirror after all, the little one was wearing a struggling expression.
Noah blushes in embarrassment, “o-of course Not!”
Amani laughs after they continue their journey, after buying something for the two to eat and carrying them home. Amani realised he was running late, “although I'd like to show you around could I'm running a bit on a timer and I have a surgery in 30 minutes,”
“I see then you must go,” Sihan said.
Amani gives him a soft smile then gently touches his cheek, “Don't worry Bambi I'll be here by 6 o'clock if not then I have no choice but to take 3 days off due to exhaustion and overworking.”
Sihan touches his hand that was warm and rubs; he likes the feeling inside his palm. Amani takes out a lollipop for Noah and stoops down Noah then takes it and hugs him around his neck. “6 o'clock! If not, I'll be mad at you!”
“Of course, couldn't have that right little neutron?”
Noah puffs while taking the lollipop, “you'd suck as a dentist!”
“Noah!”
“HAHAHA! Anyways goodbye,”
“Goodbye”
“*Goodbye*”
They watched as Amani entered the car and left, soon they went inside to see a very spacious hall, it seemed a bit big and empty. It must have been really low for someone like Amani.
They look around to find the kitchen around the back room. A bathroom on the other side went up stairs and found some room one had Noah's name on it. They open it and smile, Sihan's heart warms as he sees a neatly kept room for Noah with what would interest Noah.
Sihan didn't need to see his room, Noah's was just enough to touch his heart Noah was extremely happy. He runs and jumps on his bed. It was extremely comfy, as it bounced he realised there was something under the pillow a jar of sweets which made Noah think it was typical of Amani.
Sihan then went to look at his room and smiled as it was right next to Noah Amani knew well, opening it he slowly walked inside taking off his jacket he looked up out the window. He takes up the new camera by the work desk, he sees that there is a container with pens, pencils and paint brush, he too had a jar of sweets different from Noah's under it was a white envelope that he opens and reads.
“Since I won't be able to show you around my humble abode myself, I decided to relay this message to our little leaping Bambi. Since I couldn't give you the room with the far better view I'll just say that you can go to my room anytime and go on that small balcony to do as you like, take pictures or paint. Just know you're free to go there. Since you're always sceptical and always overthinking you have my full permission. And if you are curious as to why I didn't I just tell you, well, what is life without a little… romance eh??”
Sihan chuckles his heart is full, “oh Yaakov,”

Nathaniel walks in the dark room his eyes squinted suspiciously, there was silence he sighs and soon turns on the lights.
“Okay Mauntique, Markylle I don't want to hurt anyone so it's best we do this easy way or..”
“Start the ambush!”
Soon two adorable kids ran out to attack him but he ran and grabbed one of them laughing. “Got you,”
The other one hugged his thighs and soon he fell on the soft rug protecting the one in his arm.
“I won, I won, got em, I got papa!” The little one laughs.
Nathaniel laughs alongside the two as he kisses Markyelle's cheeks as he hugs him.
