10.Breathing
Logan's (pov)
I sighed in relief as I watched Patton and Virgil re-emerge from the doors. Virgil's guide for the day with them. "Hey Vir~" "Don't." I raised a brow looking to him before the guide spoke up. "Vir? Now that's something to go off V." Virgil in turn rolls his eyes but Patton gives me a 'don't worry about it' look which almost always means worry.
"Alright then V. Would you wish to head home? Patton and I finished talking with the headteacher so your all set for coming back when you feel up for the challenge." I explain adjusting my glasses. He merely nods in response, shoving his hands in his pockets noticeably fiddling with something. "I don't really think he's in the mood to talk." Patton reassures. I nod firmly looking to the guide which was still for some reason there. "Right! Well I'll see ya V." He says cheerfully as he walked back out the doors. Leaving the three of us in a somewhat strange silence.
As soon as we got back home Virgil popped a paci in his mouth and ran upstairs leaving me and Patton downstairs. "Do you think this school is good for him? I mean he almost immediately freaked out and that Prince guy doesn't seem trust worthy. What do you think de..." I trailed off as I saw Patton eyeing off his toy box. I sighed patting his head to grab his attention. He turned to me a small smile on his face, his eyes big and pleading. "Go on baby." He giggled childishly and ran towards his toy box.
I ran a hand through my hair trying to simply process the day. The headmaster, Mr Sanders, told us Virgil would be accepted but after today it truly didn't seem like it he almost broke down and, and does getting money for Virgil going to become more of a priority than Patton? Will Patton have to gain a job? What happens if he regresses at a potential work place? I'm going to have to get another job! What if, what if-"Papa? Why are breathing like that?"
I look down to see Patton looking up at me innocently. Hair up in scrunchies and his favourite overalls on. It's only now however, I realise I'm hyperventilating. "I-it's nothing dear. Just thinking." I kneel down and give him a quick kiss to the head which he giggles at playfully. I stand back up once more taking a deep breathe, trying to collect my swirling thoughts. If things don't work out with having both Virgil and Patton to take of......I don't know if I can handle this family. I clear my throat ignoring the slight sting of tears in my eyes, instead turning to the kitchen counter. I get straight to work with preparing dinner letting my worries sink to the back of my mind. The cartoons and talking of my family making for pleasant background noise.
Heh family. Going to have to get used to that.
