Hunter's Room ^^

Lydia's P.O.V.

"Hunter, you need to stop blowing bubbles at me," I giggle as I try to grab Hunter out of the bath, finally settling him down I wash off most of the bubbles from his body before pulling him out of the bath, Hunter stood in front of me showing off his beautiful smile. "Vallie needs her bath too, Gramma is waiting with her outside baby," 

As he grows up he looks more and more like...him. Taking a deep breath I quickly dress him before he catches a cold and take him to his room, "Mommy, can you and Vallie sleep with me tonight please?"

Last night I let Hunter sleep with me, now I guess it's my turn to sleep in his room. I have been trying to teach him to sleep on his own but I guess he takes after him with his fear of the dark. "Hunter you know you have to learn to sleep, alone baby,"

Vallie was fine with sleeping alone in her small room, but Hunter still had trouble sleeping alone. They only have a year's difference but Hunter was still so attached to me while Vallie slowly leaned towards Aunt May more. 

He gave me his famous puppy dog eyes, "I will...but not tonight please?"Sighing I gently rub his back and nodd, "Thanks, Mommy!" He said excitedly running into his room. 

Shaking my head at him I take a deep breath, I walk outside where Aunt May is holding onto Vallie, "Hey Baby," She smiled at me before reaching over for me. "Momma,"

Aunt May smiled, "Time for bath number too." Gently rubbing Vallie's stomach I help her get undressed before letting her play in the water for a little while. 

"Momma, play with me," She said handing me a rubber ducky taking it out of her hands I played around with her for a while before pulling her out of the bath as she threw a tantrum. 

"Vallie, behave." I say firmly taking her into Dimples' room, "Alright, scooch over to the side Dimples," He did as I said, laying down in the middle of the two of them I kiss them both good night.  Vallie snuggled against her pillow as Hunter fluttered his eyes shut wrapping his arms around my waist, letting out a shaky breath I looked out the window,

                                                                    . . . Flashback. . .

"Sh," I hushed Hunter as he whined I looked over my shoulder at Flynn who was lying asleep peacefully, "Come on baby, we don't want to wake daddy up now." I whispered but he was restless in my arms, "Sh,"

A soft chuckle escaped from Flynn's mouth, "I don't think he is listening to you, Luna,"

Huffing I kept my attention on Hunter, "Come on Hunter, go back to sleep,"

Flynn pulled me back against him with one arm resting his chin on my shoulder as Hunter struggled in my arms, "He doesn't look like he's tired Luna," He whispered nuzzling his head into my neck. 

Smiling I lean into his touch resting Hunter in my lap letting him sprawl out, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to wake you up."

"It's okay, I couldn't sleep either." He said gently playing with Hunter's fingers. "I was just enjoying the feeling of you against my skin. It doesn't make me afraid of the dark."

A blush took over my cheeks, "Hopefully Hunter doesn't take that fear from you,"

Flynn sighed, "I won't let him be afraid of anything Luna because he'll always have me with him."

Turning my face a little so I could peck his cheek, "And you will always have us Alpha," I whispered to him. I look back down to see Hunter's eyes slowly fluttering shut as he gripped Flynn's fingers. "Thank god," I said quietly putting Hunter down in his crib beside the bed as soon as I laid him down Flynn pulled me closer wrapping his arms around my waist tightly, "Flynn!"

"Sh, this is the way I sleep," He said tiredly before nuzzling his face cutely in my neck, "I love you,"

A soft smile tugged at my lips, "I love you too,"

                                                                      . . . Present . . .

Wiping a tear away I took a deep breath as Hunter grew up, it became harder for me to ignore that his habits and mannerisms were so similar to Flynns'. Flynn used to wrap his arms tightly around me before he fell asleep, he does the same. I want to hate Flynn, I want to forget everything to do with him...but I couldn't deny the fact that the heart that he broke into millions of pieces still loves him, with each broken piece. 

Harvey has told me to move on so many times but I can't...Brayden has been in my life for four years...like a best friend but any blind person can realize that he has feelings for me. I know he has feelings for me...but I don't want to lead him on and I never will. 

Looking down at Hunter I gently move his hair out of his face, "I will never let anything happen to you..." I whisper to him gently kissing his cheek, doing the same with Vallie, "Or you."

I don't know what I will do if Flynn ever comes in front of me again, but the one thing I do know is that I won't let him come back into our lives...the old memories are enough to hurt me, I don't need new ones to destroy me completely. 

Flynn's P.O.V.

"Flynn!" Dad said storming into my office angrily, "Why the fuck are we joining hands with the Snipers?"

Glaring at Dad I took a drag of my cigarette, "Please be quiet Dad, I have a massive hangover."

Slamming his hands down on my desk he gave me a pointed look, "The Snipers cannot be trusted! Drake had betrayed me, that is why I stole the drive from him and handed it to the Demons. You need to get your head back into the game Flynn."

Graoning I abruptly got off of my chair, "I know what I am doing Dad!" I snapped taking a sip of the drink I poured, "Amora has given me 51 percent of their profits, sold me half of their property, and made me a shareholder of their stupid beer company all in return for protection from the Azar Gang."

Dad sighed sitting down in the chair in front of my desk lighting a cigarette of his own, "All for protection?"

I nodd, "All for protection," I confirmed rubbing my forehead I take a deep breath, "The only thing that I haven't thought about is the Demons, I don't know how they will react to this new alliance of ours after everything Amora and the others did."

Dad nodded blowing out the lethal smoke in the air, "I will handle the Demons,"

Clearing my throat I inhaled the smoke from my own cig, "Thank you, where are the Demons anyways right now?"

He hesitated before he answered, "Noah and I have stayed in touch, like I said I will handle them."

Suspicious I sat down in front of him slamming back my drink, "Dad? What are you hiding from me?"

"It doesn't impact the bui-"

"Dad." I said firmly giving him a pointed look before sitting up straight, "What are you hiding from me?"

Exhaling heavily Dad avoided my gaze for a while before answering my question, "Lydia and Hunter have been staying with them for the past four years." He said quietly, "In Chandler, Arizona..."

Arizona? "How long have you known where they were?"

"Everyone is still in touch with them Flynn, except you. Every other night we talk to them, you threw them out of the house without thinking but you couldn't take them out of our hearts Flynn. We kept it a secret because we knew you wouldn't let us talk to them or even see them."

Clenching my jaw I leaned back in my chair closing my eyes, "Get out of my office Dad,"

"Flynn-"

"Get out!" I snapped not wanting to hear anything more. I heard Dad push the chair back before walking out of the room shutting the door behind him, and that's when I let my tears escape from my eyes. Everyone thinks I am a monster for throwing them out of the house...but why doesn't anyone understand the pain and the hurt I felt when I found out that Liza and David's stupid plan to take over Dad's business took away a child's mother from him...my mom...

Obviously, I missed them, Obviously, I missed being around Hunter, missed hearing his laugh...his babbling...obviously, I missed Lydia, missed seeing her, missed hearing her stupid jokes...I had everything but one truth that took everything from me. 

My Mother...My Luna...My kid... now all I had left was my alcohol, my cigarettes...and my loneliness.
