Claire pov

"you said you wanna talk dear, you can talk to mommy whatever you want to you know" i said to my son Harry.

Even if my mouth say that, i still thinking about how to approach the subject on how to understand my son better, it must be hard to be someone different than your peers, and to do stuff that what he want must take some guts to do, so maybe i should approach this topics carefully, it drive me crazy that i don't even know what my own son is thinking of and he is only 4 years old, well almost 4.

"Yes mom, i need to talk to you about this, i need you to drive me to grandpa's house tonight, you can do that for me right ?" Harry said to me.

God damn it, why is my own son so cute ? I know I'm hot, but my son is handsome on some other level. If other men have handsome lv 1, my son is at least at level 10.000 i kid you not, even if he still a kid.

"Ummm I'll try, your dad can watch Alex and Haley for a bit while I take you to grandpa's house, but can you tell mommy why you decided to write a book and publish it sweetie ?" I said gently while rubbing his soft hair, I still cannot believe my son is this cute… it's too dangerous to leave me alone.

"I write it because I love the topic mommy, one of the biggest historical moments in our civilization and it contains both heroism, tragedy, and even politics, economics and our human morals. It's just too interesting not to write about such a big event in our civilization right ? After all, we as humanity must be able to learn from the past to make future decisions and the fact that in some desperate condition we as humanities can make such an extreme choice to survive is just… too big of a moment to be forgotten in the river of times" Harry said with full power and excitement.

 aaah.. This is how a child should behave, he's so cute like this, his word is a bit much for me, this is kinda like the philosophy class i take in the college all over again, its overwhelming but if history can make him excited like that, I'll support him, after all I can't really use the standard of a child for him.

"Okay dear mommy understand, mommy will drive you to grandpa's house tonight okay ? just eat your lunch first and we can talk more after that" i said to Harry gently

"Can I eat while watching my documentary ? " Harry said cutely to me

"Of course dear, just be careful and don't drink too much sugar, okay ? i said to Harry

"I'll drink ice water instead mommy, don't worry about it" Harry said to me in a cheeky way 

"Allright cutie, go on, you can eat now" I said while smiling helplessly.

Who knows my genes are so strong that my son can turn into such a cute and handsome creature like this, even those child actors are not as cute as my child, I can already see him becoming a heartbreaker in the future, huft… he's gonna get troubled for being too handsome in the future. I said while shaking my head a bit, and then i continued to do my job as a mother, there is never ending job for me it just never finished.

Harry pov

While eating my lunch, I kept thinking about my conversation with my own mom . I guess she really worries a lot huh ? even when she knows that her son is extraordinary and clearly above his peers, maybe in an intelligent way but emotionally I know I'm not the best to talk about it. 

Is it wrong to do something that I'm passionate about ? i guess it's pretty normal, the problem is my age, i just can't grow fast enough, even when all my stat is already 10 times more than the average adult male, i believe if i join the olympic I'm gonna sweep all the gold medal, and after that I'm gonna get kidnapped and killed to be studied by those scientist because it broke their world view, yeah, i still wanna live my life so no thanks, and with these status, i know i look otherworldly i can be said to have a natural white glistening skins that look like i will drop a water if pressed, a bright green eyes that look deep in the middle, and a god greek like muscle that i hide using my child fat, yeah even for me, a status 10 times more than the average human adult is still too much to handle.

I haven't drawn a gacha at all, I think I'll wait for a while and good news for me, now I get double the idle point to 2 idle points per second, I guess it's because I'm older ? or because of my status ? or even my popularity ? I still need to research about this, but it is still a good thing to have double the income after all.

For now I'll take some naps, and hopefully I'll wake up when it's time to go to grandpa's house.

A few hours later I woke up from my beautiful naps. I even dream about swimming in money like a scrooge mcduck, filling a giant building with money and gold and swimming in it happily ever after. 

My mother finally took me to grandpa's house.

"Are you excited to finally publish your book baby ?" Mom said to me gently.

"We haven't published it yet mom, we need to talk about my hope and my bottom line for the patent and royalties mom" i answer my mother seriously.

"How much do you hope the royalties will be ? " Mom, ask me gently.

"Hmmm, maybe around 15% for the hard cover ? and 20% for the electronic version, that's what I'm hoping for, I guess." I was unsure with my own answer .

"Why do you sound unsure dear ? " 

"Hmm after all I'm a new comer in the industry mom, it's not realistic to hope for such a big fat contract for me, I will ask uncle mitchell about the bottom line though" i said to my mother.

"Sure, we can ask him about the minimum cut in the current industry" mom said amusedly.

"I hope he knows the rate for this… or at least already prepared for such a thing after grandpa asked him to help me negotiate" I muttered softly.

After a while we arrived at grandpa's house.

"Grandpa, nice to see you," I said while hugging him softly. 

"Nice seeing you too kid" he said while laughing loudly and then we go to the living room where uncle Mitchell was waiting.

"Uncle Mitch, nice to see you, " I said while hugging him.

"Aawww, nice seeing you too Harry, you grow up to be such a cute child" Mitchell said while hugging me softly .

"I can't believe you and Phil can have such a beautiful and handsome child, to be honest with me Claire, who is his father ? or where you pick Harry up huh ? he is too handsome to come from both of you " Mitchell said jokingly to Claire .

"Fuck off mitch, he is my son, my genes just so great that he turn to be so handsome" Claire said to mitch while laughing too.

"My mother is beautiful too, Uncle Mitch, that's why I can be this handsome " I said confidently while grinning to uncle mitch.

"See ? even he know that his mom is beautiful, unlike you mitch" my mom looked so happy when she said this.

"Harry, you can't learn to lie at such a young age, dear" Mitch said to me.

"I'm not lying uncle, I'm just telling the truth, my mom is beautiful" I said while smiling.

"Alright you win okay, let's talk about the book now " uncle Mitch said to me

"Alright, so the book is about world war 2, a real life story based on the veteran interviews and historical document from various world war 2 museum in our Country and there is a few dramatic element but it just for the story sake, the fact are all real, and it can be said to be 25% documentary, and want to keep the right of the book privately to me, so the publisher only have the right for the paper version of the book, both hard and soft cover for a period of time, and then i want to keep the digital right to myself and the adaptation right, whether is it for series, movie or animation or even game or merchandise will be keep by myself" i said to him seriously.

"It's gonna be hard you know, most publishers won't accept it" Mitchell said to me worriedly.

"It's fine, just told then I don't need to be paid in the front so no signing fee, but I want at least 15% for the hard cover and 10 % for the soft cover" I said confidently.

"Are you really 4 years old Harry ? you seem more confident and more charismatic than me, and I'm a lawyer, gosh.. Damn it ." Mitchell said surprised by my own way.

"I'm pretty sure uncle and I don't want to be famous so I won't do any tour or fanmeet for book signing. I can do it but only from my own house, and then I won't go to any award nor interviews , how about it ? Can it be done ?" I said while pretending to hold a cigar in my hand and smoking it before blowing wind to my left side.

"Hahahaha are you copying grandpa ? with an air cigar ? so cute… my mother said to me.

"It looks cool in those mafia movies that grandpa loves to watch, but you don't need to worry mom, I won't smoke because it's bad for my own health" I said while smiling at her.

"Good boy, you're indeed my son after all" Claire said proudly while grandpa Jay and uncle Mitch snickering while remembering how she behaved when she was young and she just silently looked at them with the threatening eyes.

"Don't worry, I will personally talk to my friends, he owns the publishing house and I'm sure he will do it for me, you just need to go with me in the morning to his office Mitch" grandpa said confidently.

"I will count on you grandpa, I'm sure you can get what I want " I said while smiling a bit.

"You can count on me Harry, just wait for my good news tomorrow, okay".

After that we eat some dinner while having a light talk and deep down i know this is going to be a new start for me.

i'm gonna be honest with you all, i suck at writing Phil, i need to watch more modern family to do this lol

(update, as i already write to chapter 7,

i don't really like "sweet home alabama" but from my writing to this chapter, i kinda worried about Haley being dependent on her brother and a bit crooked that she have the possibilities to fall in love with her twin... , should i make Harry colder to Haley or what ?)
