Bonus Scene

Ihum softly under my breath as I walk through the forest. A small hand touches mine and I smile down at JJ, giving him a gentle squeeze.

"Do you think Papa will be awake when we get back?"

"Maybe. So long as Jordan stays sleeping. If she wakes up, Papa will wake up too."

"Hmm," JJ hums, deep in thought. When JJ woke up early this morning, I decided to take him for a little walk to keep him occupied so Zander could get a little extra time in bed. He's usually the one who's up first so it was nice to surprise him this morning. "We should have brought Jordan with us."

"Why is that?"

"She always wakes up crying," JJ says, nodding his head. "That'll wake Papa up. We should have brought her with us on our walk."

I can't help but smile, my chest aching with how happy I am, with how much I love this little guy. "That's kind of you, but it's best to let the baby sleep."

"If you say so. You're the old one."

I chuckle at JJ's words. He's been on a kick lately about old people for some reason. Apparently they have all the fun.

"I have an idea," I say, pulling us to the side of the path we're walking on. "What do you think about bringing Papa some flowers?"

JJ looks around for a moment before nodding his head seriously. "I think he would like that. But we have to find at least one blue flower because blue is Papa's favorite color."

"I think your Papa is gonna love them no matter what color they are."

"Nuh uh. We have to find some blue ones."

Shaking my head, I take JJ's hand and lead him to where I saw some flowers growing. We spend the morning like that, looking through the forest, finding flowers for Zander. I'm careful to make sure we're not grabbing anything that'll cause a rash or anything with thorny stems.

JJ takes his time, picking only the best for his Papa. Watching him with a scowl between his brows as he concentrates makes my fondness for him grow even more. I love this kid so fucking much and I'm so lucky Lady Fate crossed our paths. I'm lucky to call him my son.

As we make our way back to our campsite, JJ cradles his flowers carefully, like the slightest misstep might make them disappear or wilt. He even whispers as he speaks, it's absolutely adorable.

We step into our camper, careful as we go as not to wake anyone up if they're still sleeping. It seems Jordan is still out cold but Zander is awake. He sitting in bed, holding a hot cup of coffee between his hands.

I watch my mate's eyes light up as he sees us, beckoning the two of us to him. JJ and I carefully crawl into bed with Zander, ly as not to jostle his coffee.

"Good morning," he says softly, grinning from ear to ear. He leans over and kisses JJ's forehead before turning towards me. "Thank you for letting me sleep in today."

"Of course. You deserve this and so much more."

"I have something for you, Papa."

"Oh really? It better not be something creepy and crawly from outside," he says, raising his brow at JJ. JJ giggles in response, pulling out the flowers he had hiding from behind his back.

"We got you some flowers!"

"Oh my! These are beautiful, baby," Zander says, handing his coffee to me and taking the flowers from JJ. I set the mug on the counter before turning back to my little family. JJ tells Zander how hard it was to find all the right flowers and how we couldn't come back until we found at least one blue one. Zander listens intently with a grin on his face.

Gods, he's so beautiful.

"Thank you so much, JJ. I love them. Can you go into the living area and find a nice cup for these? And put a little water in it?"

"I'm on it, Papa," JJ says seriously before heading out of the bedroom area.

"This was such a lovely idea," Zander says, turning towards me. "Thank you, Ronny."

"Like I said before, you deserve this and so much more. I love you so much."

Zander's eyes soften. His free hand comes up to my face, running over my cheek. "I love you as well. I don't think I'll ever grow tired of hearing you say that, or saying it back. I love you, Ronny."

I'm not sure which of us moves first but it doesn't matter because we both lean into the kiss. His lips against my own makes me feel so safe, so fucking good. I don't think I'll ever grow tired of kissing this man.

I tilt my head slightly and open my lips, welcoming his tongue into my mouth. He tastes like the coffee he was just drinking. It's so delicious and I find myself softly moaning.

"Oh my gods. You two are always kissing!"

I pull away grinning and Zander starts giggling against my lips. I give him one last peck on the lips before pulling back and turning towards our son. "Sorry, JJ. I just love Papa so much that I have to remind him sometimes."

"I know you love each other but you kiss more than you eat!"

Zander and I both chuckle, giving each other knowing looks before helping JJ back onto the bed. Zander takes the cup from him and puts his flowers into it, setting them beside the bed. I give JJ a kiss on the cheek before giving another one to Zander.

I never knew I could be so lucky but then again, Lady Fate would probably remind me that luck's got nothing to do with it.
