I was still angry when I came home that night. Since I wasn't immediately chased out, I made sure to spend the rest of my time with Bear telling him how precious he was. Honestly, I didn't even pee!

If his father wasn't going to love him like he deserved, then I will. Even if I got to do that for one more hour.

It even rained to match my mood. Stupid weather bot! I was sure it was conspiring to make it rain just as I stepped out of a building.

"Don't stand in the carpet for too long. You'll get it wet" came the usual greeting as soon as I stepped inside the apartment.

I made sure to shake my umbrella little harder so that ALL the water would fall on it.

"I think I might have got myself fired!" I cried out.

"What did you do this time?" mom asked me back from the kitchen.

I didn't bother answering her back. I left my phone on this time, cause if he or anyone else call me to fire me over the phone, I did not want to miss it.

I should probably call Justin. He'll tell me if I was totally over the line.

I waited patiently until he picked up. Okay, no I lied. I was a nervous wreck, pacing back and forth pulling my hair out.

"I just told the guy to stop being such a crappy dad. What are my chances of not being fired tomorrow?"

He chuckled. "Well, hello to you too".

"If the man is not a total irrational moron, he'll realize you might be right, but if he is then you're outta luck. At least this time it's on him, not you."

That's what I thought too. Tomorrow when I am off the rush I'm feeling right now and find myself with no job, I just have to remember it.

"Don't think about it too much shortie! Last time he was worried about you kidnapping his baby right? So he clearly loves his son."

That's right. He can't be that bad of a dad, with how worried he was about Bear's wellbeing. I mean I clearly saw relief on his face when I brought Bear back home.

"How about this, you buy me a coffee this weekend and I'll try to keep your mind off from everything."

I was glad it wasn't a video call cause I was blushing and jumping around like an idiot. I took a solid three and a half seconds to consider before I agreed, I think a little too eagerly cause as I ended the call, I could still hear him laughing.

My nightmares were really wacky that night. I kept kept replaying our outburst all over again. In oneJustin broke into Mr.Jack's office to save me, but that's a story for another time.

You know what struck out to me the most, if this was some sort of cheesy free world rom-com I would have gotten a kiss after something that intense.

Next morning I was really disoriented. In the back of my mind I knew I was expecting something big but I was too sleepy to realize what.

Then it hit me. I rushed out of my bed to grab my phone. I mean I tried to, but I had my blanket tangled up so I landed on my face the first time around.

Nothing.

I had no missed calls, no messages, no mails. Nothing.

I wasn't sure whether this meant I still have a job or whether today was somehow opposite day!

"Madeline Short! Get your butt out of your room! You will be late to work"

Am I though? If I don't have work, I won't be late to anything.

I wasn't stopped at the entrance, Mrs.Miller even came out to let me in. Saying I was confused is an understatement.

"Did daddy say anything last night, Bear?" I asked when I played spaceship with him. I didn't know what to think. I mean I thought of several things but none of it makes any more sense than my dreams did last night. So I stopped thinking altogether, it was starting to hurt my brain.

I was being silly with Bear for a while when the door was flung open and there he stood, looking all impatient. I couldn't do much, other than blink at him because I genuinely had no idea what he would want from me. Did he forget to fire me yesterday? Is that why he is here now?

"What are you doing?"

I narrowed my eyes at him, I was not in the mood for him at the moment.

"You should have had him ready, I don't have all day. I have a meeting in two hours so get him ready right now" and just like that he left.

Wait a minute. Did that mean, what I thought it meant?

Oh yes! Yes! Yes!

I don't think I noticed what I put on bear, the blue had with his bright green little shirt totally did not go together, but I was trying to hurry out the door.

I was screaming on the inside as we all rode down the elevator.

Oh my god! Oh my god! This is finally happening!

But I realized I wasn't just screaming on the inside when he turned to look at me like I was crazy.

Oh fish stick!

When we got out he kept looking around like he genuinely didn't know what to do next. Did he ever hold Bear in his hand? Cause it sure don't look like it.

"This is the part where you take Bear from me Mr.Jack."

Nope. He still he kept looking at me as if I asked him to hold an actual bear. I went over to him and lifted Bear up to his face.

"You do know how to hold him don't you?"

I wanted to ask him if he ever held Bear before but I wanted to tread very carefully after what happened yesterday. I don't get how my stars were so lucky so far.

I swore I could see him blush ever so slightly. It was hard to tell because his skin was sorta orange.

"Males of our race isn't as involved in the child rearing process."

Oh. My. God. He didn't know how to hold his own baby!

"You can start by taking him off from me."

I said offering him Bear again. You really need to see a full grown man being scared of a little tiny baby once in your life. That will be the greatest thing you will ever see.

I showed him how to hold his son so that he could support Bear properly. Bear must have never seen his father up so close.

And the little guy was so curious. He kept reaching up to touch Mr.Jack's face that once he even straight up slapped him. I tried my best not to laugh which only made me laugh even harder, and it made Mr.Jack scowl at me but Bear laugh out loud so I think it was a good thing.

God he was so much more attractive like this!

"What?"

Oh fish stick, not again!

"You're right. What? Who said that? That was so inappropriate."

Looking at them right now, I knew that no day will be able to top this. A week ago I didn't think I would ever get here. If I had known it would take a screaming match between us for Mr.Jack to see reason I would have done it ages ago. I hope that today is the start of something beautiful, the start of a bond that this father and son will share for the rest of their lives. I was secretly proud of myself too. I mean two years no heck six months ago, I couldn;t even imagine standing up to anybody let alone the richest man in the galaxy, Maybe I should try it next time when Erine gets a little mouthy.

I wished the moment would have lasted forever but like all good things, it didn;t. That;s alright with me, though cause I was just gonna annoy him tomorrow and the next day and the nexxt until he learns how to be a good father by himself.

I had put Bear to sleep and was just about to leave when Mrs. Miller stopped me on the hallway.

"I heard what you did yesterday? What nerve you have to order Mr. Oban like this?"

It made me chuckle a bit. After everything that happened I wasn't really scared of Mrs. Miller anymore.

"I don't know Mrs. Miller. I'll ask my sister to check me if you want"

I didn't need to see to know that Mrs. Miller is probably looking all shocked and might be choking on her words.
