The Boy With A Child

Chapter 81

Onyx's POV
"Can you go get Mal?"

After I said that, Malakai ran up to me. I picked him up. I put him in my lap. I wiped a lot of tears away.

"I'm sorry we scared you. I really am."

"I'm sorry too."

"We didn't mean to yell like that. We were really mad at each other. Next time, we'll try to keep it down. Okay?"

Malakai nodded. I kissed his forehead. He wrapped his arms around my neck. I started rubbing his back.

"Sooo...h-how have you been?"

"Horrible. You've been gone for what? 5 years? I lost my two best friends at basically the same time."

Marionette walked over to me.

"I'm sorry daddy."

"Thanks. I'm taking your tablet the next time you act like that."

"Onyx that's a little...too much."

"Primrose...I'm really not in the mood."

"I-I'm sorry."

"So ummm...you've got a family now?"

"Yeah...I thought you were dead.

"Daddy?"

"Hm?"

"Are you and mommy okay now?"

"Yes."

"I put my ring back on."

"Thank you."

"Um why did you both hit me?"

"I literally just explained it to you."

"Daddy?"

"Yes?"

"Why are you mad at him?"

"You'll know when, you're older. You're too young to know now."

I felt Malakai's body relax. His breathing went back to normal.

Thank god.

Marionette walked over to Primrose.

"Is daddy better?"

"I hope so."

I felt Malakai adjusting himself.

"You okay buddy?"

He nodded as he yawned.

"You can nap. It's okay."

He wrapped his arms around one of mine. I kept rubbing his back. He put his head on my chest.

"How come, every time someone comes here...there's drama?"

"I have no idea."

"Listen man, I didn't mean to ghost you."

"Well...ya did."

I looked down. I started watching Malakai sleep.

"Umm hello? Earth to Onyx?"

"He's not going to look at you now."

"Huh?"

"He's mad at you."

"Really?"

"Yep. I can't look at you."

I heard Marionette sniffling.

"Princess? What's wrong?"

"I don't feel good!"

She started holding her stomach.
