9 April's Decision (2)

When April and Sky came in, Alex stood up. His eyes were only looking at the small child beside April.

Sky really looks identical to him, except for a few things. Sky has Alex's dark brown hair, white skin, long nose, same shape of the eyes and his brows. Sky has April's dark brown eyes, long eyelashes and small mouth.

April took a deep breath and Sky looked up to her. April nodded and he nodded back. They had an agreement. Don't underestimate the almost 3 year old kid, he's a genius. He started walking at 5 months and talking at 7 months. Seeing how genius her son is, she asked her father to hire a tutor/nanny for Sky when he turned 1 year old. Colm got a hold of this news and personally found a tutor for Sky. He wanted to also pay for it but Ted firmly rejected it. This time, they wanted to pay for Sky. Sky wasn't involved to their accident so Colm shouldn't feel obligated. No matter how Colm insisted, Ted denied it.

The tutor/nanny was a 30 year old woman. Her name is Lauri Jones. She is single and a teacher. She quitted her job because of how big of income and benefits she will receive if she works for the Lewis. Free lounging, food and all health (dental, eyes, medical) insurance was included. The only thing that she needs to do was to teach the baby and keep it company. Most of the time, April cleans Sky up or Annie would. If the two aren't available, that's when she comes in. She accompanies Sky 6 Days a week. She gets a day off during Sundays. If Sky needs to go somewhere with them, they let her get a day off during that day and still getting paid for it. Who can say no to this awesome job? Right?

Lauri was smart, she didn't wanted to get married anyways. So she plans to serve the Lewis, as far as she could. She can earn and save a lot of money by doing this. Though she had an easy job, she takes it very seriously. She graduated magna cum laude with series of other medals on her profession. Colm wouldn't choose her if she wasn't outstanding enough. She was also talented in mostly everything.

All of these knowledge, she is willingly to pass it on to Sky. Now, Sky can already name all the countries in the planet, can do the basic math and plays two kinds of musical instruments. Sky is also starting to learn other languages. It was well worth it to hire Lauri.

Sky was even smarter than Colm. Colm started to walk at 9 months and talk at 1. Don't even compare Alex to Sky, it was futile. Alex is indeed smart, Just that Sky was like a monster. Sky's doctor thought that it may have been the effects of April's medications. At the early stages of April's pregnancy, She had taken a bunch of her usual medication, the effects were all targeting her brain cells. It was to help her with her nightmares and/or prevent her from having her episodes.

They didn't know that she got pregnant since it was very unlikely to happen. She was always guarded when she goes outside. Plus her medications wasn't new, she had been taking it since she was 11. It was only discovered when they had to take her blood for a new kind of medicine, she was already 4 months at that time.

Sky still slurs his words, but he is capable of understanding most of what you tell him. It was blessing that he turned out this way, the doctor said it was most likely 90% that he would turn dumb. 9% of being a normal kid and 1% being a great genius. Sky had beaten all the odds. April was proud of her son.

Alex got up and walked in front of them. He then half kneeled and looked at Sky.

"Hey buddy, My name is Alex. Im your father." Alex smiled at his son. He looks so adorable. April pursed her lips, he didn't even said hello to her. She sighed. It was a good thing that her son was smart.

As soon as Alex talked, Sky replied.

"I have no daddy. Only mommy." Sky raise both of his arms, wanting April to pick him up.

April smiled and picked up her son. She told Sky earlier to not believe anything, unless she said so. She also said that a certain Alex would try to separate them. In order for them not to get separated, he had to avoid Alex getting closer to him. Although April did love Alex, that didn't mean that she could just let Alex take her son. Sky was her only source of happiness, something that no one else could ever replace.

Alex stood up and looked at April for the first time. April looked a little bit asian. Her eyes were striking yet it was always dead flat. Most of the time, there were no life in it. She always had this look like she didn't have a care in the world. Yet when he saw her looked at Sky, her eyes were shining. It was also the first time for him to see her smile.

He then remembered how sweet those small lips were and how his hand perfectly fits her body. Sometimes, he would dream about that night. Although he couldn't remember her, his body seems to remember. It would always make him turn on, no matter what time it was.

He also noticed how lovely her black hair was, as well as her long eyelashes. Though she looked beautiful, he can never see her as a lover. His heart was only yearning for his wife. He could see no one else but Francesca. Plus, Francesca was everything he could ever ask for. While April only finished Highschool. She never went to College, since her future was already taken care by Colm. Colm didn't want her to work anyways, He would rather spoil her and make her stay at home.

April had never voiced out to go to College nor work. Seeing this lack of determination, set Alex's mouth twitching. When he read her file before, he couldn't help but compare her to his wife.

"Hello April, How are you?" Alex smiled at April. After all, He still needed April's approval. If it weren't for Colm, he could've taken his son by force. He could've hire the best Lawyers in the planet to take his Son away. Added that she was mentally incapable to take care of their son, it was an easy task. Fortunately for April, Alex valued his friendship with Colm.

"Can we talk outside?" April replied. She felt that the servants were trying to listen to them, so they could report it to her parents.

"Sure." Alex agreed. He had never talked to April in a long conversation. It was always short ended. If he wants to gain April's approval, then they really needed to talk.

"Son, go to Lauri. I'll talk to this man first, then I'll come and get you." April set her son down and pinched his cheeks.

"Okay mommy!" Sky left in a hurry, he didn't want Alex to take him away from his mother.

Seeing Sky left, April gestured Alex to follow her.
