“I’m your only. ‘member?” Sebastian states, hitting the button with his finger to activate the drill. I hold it steady so it doesn’t move out of his hand, fall on him, and hurt himself or me in the process.
“Oh, I know.” She props herself against the door frame. I watch as her eyes bounce around the room, taking in the new bed, the dresser, and nightstand. The place we got the rest of the furniture for the house didn’t open in time for me to go there, so I hit another place. Still, it’s decent quality and will last him until he outgrows it. The framed pictures of what we could find are up on the walls, and the bedding is in the washer going through the rest of the cycles as we speak. There’s still more I’m sure I’ve forgotten, but Asher covered a lot of the necessities when it comes to first aid, checking to make sure there are chimes on the doors, smoke detectors, and carbon monoxide monitors, too. The building checks it twice a year, but it doesn’t hurt to have another set of eyes now that we’ve got a toddler in the house. Trent, on the other hand, tried to get me to put a television and gaming system in Sebastian’s bedroom. Yeah, it’s clear he and Kennedy are still new.
There are things you talk to your significant other about; electronics in a kid’s bedroom is one of them. I did snag a handheld gaming system that’s on the learning side. It has games that teach the alphabet, letters, sight words, and even a couple of simple math equations. We’ll see how that goes before we go from there and if we get Sebastian a tablet that’s more like Briar’s.
“Okay, really, how did you get all of this done, and how did I sleep through everything?” The black dress shirt she’s wearing is buttoned from the bottom to the top, but it looks like she didn’t work her way through all of them judging by the expanse of her chest and her tits being pressed together with her arms holding them up.
“I got here a while ago,” Seb says. He’s losing his attention with building this. I drop the drill to the floor and help him to stand. “I play with toys now?” he asks, looking at me. I nod, and he takes off to the corner of his room that has a new toy box, a good starter stack that I hope he doesn’t have in Georgia, but I figure if there are duplicates, Mom’s house could use them. Near his bed is another nook with a bean bag chair and where his bookshelf will be once I get it put together.
“We got a good group of friends, cariño. Which, by the way, we’ve got a wedding to go to. Asher and Lennon’s is this weekend. Giving you plenty of time to pick up a dress for yourself and something for Sebastian.” I can see she’s gearing up to talk about something little ears do not need to hear, so I shake my head. She closes her eyes for a minute, and since she’s slept half the day, the ball has been put in motion.
“Sebastian,” Winnie grabs his attention.
“Sí,” he replies, looking from the dinosaurs he’s got staged in different ways. I have to smile; he might have a delay here and there, but one thing is for sure: the boy is a sponge. Two days with my family, and he’s picking up more Spanish than his aunt ever did.
“I’m going to talk to Uncle Johnny in the kitchen. Are you okay in here for a minute?” Mierda, I’m about to get my ass handed to me.
“Okay.” He pauses. “Tío, I play on the tablet?” I wince at his question, worrying Winn will be upset.
“Umm, yeah, we seriously need to have a chat,” Winnie says in her mom voice.
“Sí, sobrino.” He’s already picking up a few of his toys. Mom mentioned he’s really good at putting things away before starting something else unless he’s outside. Then she said he’s balls to the walls and can’t be contained, especially at a park. I guess they did that this morning before coming over, and it took a lot of convincing to get him off the swing.
I stand up, grab the tools, and set the bookshelf off to the side. “Stay away from this, okay?” I tell him. He’s so lost in what he’s doing he doesn’t respond.
“Seb, answer, please.” Winn clears her throat.
“Huh, what you say?” he asks with little boy wonderment.
“Steer clear of this. I won’t be too long, then we’ll finish getting your room set up, okay?” Sebastian nods, and I head for my wife. The minute she’s within reaching distance, my hands go to her hips, my head lowers, and I brush my mouth along her plush lips. Winnie sighs, allowing me to deepen the kiss, tasting her flavor of toothpaste and her. She must have used my toothbrush when she woke up. I figured she would have stopped for coffee and a bite to eat. Guess I was wrong about that.
