"Fine! If Jason is spending time with Hunter, then it's only fair he meets Adobi as well."
"Are you CRAZY?!"
"I'm perfectly sane," I smiled at her.
"Hell no. My son isn't going anywhere near her. How can I know she wouldn't hurt him?"
"Likewise in my case with Hunter," I scoffed.
I folded my arms against my chest as I observed the woman before me. Every time, she got more beautiful.
How's that even possible?
She kept her lush afro and it had gotten even bigger over the years. It framed her face like a work of art. Her skin was still like silk and for a moment, I forgot what we were discussing.
"Jevan! When are you going to pick him up?"
"Pick who up?" I asked, jumping back to reality.
"I agreed on letting Jason meet Adobi. But I swear, on God, if she hurts my child....."
"She isn't like that! She's not going to hurt an innocent child. What kind of woman do you think I'm marrying?"
Blossom sighed loudly.
"I'll be by on Friday. I can take him for the weekend and have him back to you on Sunday afternoon. How's that?"
"Sounds fine by me. Please ensure you're supervising him when he's around her. I don't want any accidents and I don't want any 'I'm so sorry.' It would be my fist down her throat."
"Damn. When did you become so violent?"
"When I had to endure twelve hours of labour to push out a nine pound baby. MamaBear becomes very protective."
I nodded in understanding but why was this turning me on?
Now all I wanted to do was to position her on my desk and bang her until she forget who Hunter was.
"I'll see you on Friday," she said and turned to leave.
I watched her sexy ass walked out the door. My manhood rising and was disappointed due to not getting into action.

Early Friday evening, I left my office to go get my son. I had arranged with my parents and they couldn't wait to be officially introduced to Jason.

"You're early. I just got in myself," Blossom said when she opened the apartment door to let me in.
"Is Jason ready?" I eagerly asked.
"Yeah. He's just grabbing his toothbrush and his stuff teddy bear. He can't sleep without teddy so ....."
"Blossom, I got this. And thank you for agreeing on letting me have him."
"So, are you going to put your ego aside and let Hunter be a part of his life as well?"
I nodded with slight annoyance.
"Daddy!" my son greeted me and ran towards me with a bag pack on his back.
I scooped him up and held the bag myself. "Ready to go?"
"Yes. Bye mommy." He waved to his mother.
"Be a good boy. Okay? Give mommy a kiss," she said and they pecked each other on the cheeks.
"Where's my kiss?" I teased her.
"Kiss him mommy," Jason inputted.
She smiled shyly and I winked at her. As I was turning on my heel, she reached up and kissed me close to the lips.
"Take care of him," she whispered.
"I'll do just that. See you on Sunday."
"Bye."
I left, carrying Jason and his bag pack to my car.

I drove us to my parents' house.
Upon arriving, Jason became nervous.
"Daddy, do you live here?" he asked, taking my hand as we walked towards the double front doors.
"I did but now I have my own house."
"As big as this?" he asked again.
"Yes."
"What kind of house is it?"
"It's called a mansion. And it got so much cool things inside."
I opened the doors and we walked in together.
"We're here!" I called.
My parents entered the room with smiles.
"Ah, there's the man of the hour. Hi Jason. It's finally nice to meet you. Welcome to the family," my father said and he lifted up Jason, looking right into his eyes.
He nodded to me before disappearing with his grandchild.
"He's so handsome," my mom added.
"Took right after his father," I agreed.
Mom and I walked into the kitchen and it appeared to be a family reunion.
Everyone was there with boxes wrapped up in gift paper.
"Mom," I said, caught by surprise.
"Everyone wanted to meet Jason. You know how this family operates, Jevan."
I threw on my smile. Dad was still holding Jason and he cleared his throat, silencing the room.
"Today, we welcome another Hollen. My grandson, Jason. You were lost, but now you're found and we're going to always guide you and protect you. Welcome home," my father spoke.
Jason wrapped his tiny arms around his neck and the room filled with 'awwww' and tears of joy.
Grandma Emma and Grandpa Ethan had the most gifts. Bundles of toys.
I couldn't imagine what Jason's first Christmas with us would be like.
Uncle EJ and Aunty Zenia with their daughter, Zenobia, were also present with gifts.
My sister Jada and my brother Jase who flew from New York just so he can meet Jason.
My other grandparents, Susan and Martin were also in the room.

After Jason met everyone, he grew exhausted. He was making small yawns and looked like he was about to sleep.
"Everyone. Thank you so much for coming and meeting my son and already spoiling him," I added and they laughed. "I know he felt welcome but now he's sleepy. I'm going to take him home now. Goodnight everyone."
"Goodnight Jevan. Goodnight Jason," everyone responded as I picked up Jason and walked out the room.
~
I got home safely. I took Jason out his car seat, grabbed his bag, and carried his sleeping figure into my house.
"There you a...." Adobi pathetically greeted but paused when her eyes caught Jason, sleeping in my arms.
