chapter 3(Edited)

N/A: I edited it quickly if I missed something, please let me know.

It was the middle of the day, Ethan right now was with a stunned look on his face.

Recently, he had just learned something very alarming that possibly took away what little innocence he had left.

"Flowers and bees! NOO!"

"I'll never see a girl like I used to again."

"ETHAN COME DOWN TO EAT!"

The culprit of it all was now calling him to come down for dinner, so hiding his now shame in the female body, Ethan went downstairs to eat.

Alan with a condescending smile was waiting for him at the table.

So fresh, as if nothing had happened.

"How are you son? You look a little pale, you're not sick?"

You gave me a possible trauma by explaining to me, what you and mom did, that you expected me to give you a hug for that?

Ethan wanted to tell her his thoughts, but the words wouldn't come out and he better sat back with a forced smile.

That was not noticed by his father, who began to serve him food.

Ethan "I want meat!"

Alan "No meat, you already ate yesterday and now it's time for vegetables."

Ethan "At this rate I will become a herbivorous animal."

Ethan without complaint, now finished with his meal, would run out the door but would be stopped by his father.

"Where are you going?"

It's Monday father, I'm going to see Elsie's daughter, it's my turn to take care of her today.

"well take care"

Leaving his father at home, Ethan would happily go to Elsie's house, always taking care of the great tenderness he had for a daughter.

"Little Ethan is coming, don't get impatient my little abie."

Elsie was a housewife, about 25 years old, thanks to the life expectancy of humans and more those of the tribe.

She appeared to be a young woman of about 18 years old, she was very beautiful, she didn't have much chest area.

But he made up for it with his cute and gentle appearance.

Elsie had beautiful silver eyes, which went perfectly with her long greenish-blue hair.

She was also like Ethan's second mother.

Ethan often asked her to move in with them, but like her father, she didn't want to leave the place where she lived her beautiful moments, especially now, after the death of her husband.

*sound

"See my little abie, just in time! "

Spoke Elsie to the delight of her daughter, who was like Ethan's little sister.

"Where's little abie!"Ethan spoke loudly with excitement.

To take care of the little one.

Taking her little steps, Abie would go running to Ethan, before falling into his arms, the little girl was so tender.

a little angel

That's how everyone called her, those who saw the little girl who had just turned one year old.

"I'm off then to you-know-where."

Elsie's voice interrupted little Abie, who wanted to speak or at least try to say Ethan's name.

Ethan charged Abie, as she pouted, for being interrupted.

Which earned several guffaws, from Elsie and Ethan.

Elsie had already left the house, leaving the child and baby duo alone in the house.

"What do you want to do abie? "

"Nove!"

Abie tried to say snow but failed.

Ethan could understand her very well, so they went outside, but not before putting on his coat, so he wouldn't get sick.

*sound* *sound* *sound

As they left, now outside the noise would begin to sound in the streets of the village.

Everyone was a hard worker and hardly ever, you saw anyone slacking off, except the children, who were running around and playing.

A beautiful view of how happy the villagers, who ignored the outside world, were.

"Muneco muneco! neve! "

In her tender voice, Abie wanted to talk to me again as she pointed to a snowman.

She was a tenderness you couldn't refuse.

So Ethan, going to a place where they would not be disturbed, went to make his little snowman.

Abie's small hands tried to grab snow but failed and she got angry.

Haci that Ethan gave him the snowball he had formed, to start it rolling, to make it grow bigger.

*laughs*

The afternoon flew by with laughter from both of them.

They had finished, finally the snowman.

They had done very well, Abie was smiling as she yawned and threw her hands in the air.

The little girl was already tired and it was time to take her home because her mother would soon be arriving.

Opening the door and entering, seeing no candles lit, I would assume that Elsie had not yet arrived, so Ethan took Abie to her room to let her sleep.

Abie's room was the size of Ethan's kitchen.

It was big for a girl like Abie, but as time goes by that problem will be put aside.

The room showed the love that the person who built it had for his daughter.

Watching Abie, sleep in his arms with a smile Ethan would lay her down on his bed, before lying down next to her.

Abie was afraid of the dark and Ethan knew that all too well.

I was late, today was the day I had to go to change the flowers on my husband Victor's grave.

It hurt every time I remembered when I learned of my husband's death.

But what hurt me the most, was seeing my daughter always asking about her father or why everyone has a father and she doesn't.

It tore my heart out, I know I'm selfish, but I can't love another man even if my daughter asks me for a father.

Victor will always be the love of my life.

The candles were lit in my house, really little Ethan is a tenderness of a child, he always came to take care of my little girl at the best time.

I would like to go live with him in his house, but I cannot leave the home that my husband built with so much love.

It was the only memory of him.

Climbing the stairs to her second floor, Elsie would tenderly watch the two people sleeping.

Her daughter was hugging Ethan tenderly, as she slept peacefully without caring that the light was off.

Abie's phobia of the dark was very severe, she always woke up crying when darkness filled her room, no matter who she was with.

The only one who could calm her down was Ethan.

Covering them better, Elsie would go down to the second floor, to sleep.

Without first advising Alan that Ethan would be staying over at his house.

How I wish, that you could see our daughter.

A picture of a man was hanging on the wall, Elsie was hugging him while showing that she was pregnant.

The only memory Elsie had that reminded her of her husband, the picture that thanks to the device called Alan's camera she was able to take.

The blessing that Alan's family brought him was always great and Elsie would always be indebted for everything.

Especially with Ethan, who is the ray of light in their family.

It was a new day, Ethan was being hugged, I didn't know by whom.

Until he saw little Abie, who didn't want to let go.

*sigh*

Ethan had no choice but to wait for Abie to wake up before going downstairs.

Luckily for him, the little girl was already starting to wake up, so he started to pull away before Abie grabbed him again.

But it was too late and Abie stayed there like a koala bear, so Ethan took her to the kitchen.

It was smelling like meat, that took Ethan's sleep right off the bat, he was a fan of meat.

But his father always asked him to eat healthily, because a clan leader must be very healthy.

That was one of the reasons Ethan always visited Elsie, to take care of Abie.

Partly it was because she enjoyed playing and spending time with the mother-daughter duo, but partly it was also because of Elsie's food.

"Meat!"

*laughs*

Elsie was smiling at Ethan's antics as she watched him go downstairs with her daughter clinging to him.

Who after smelling his food, broke away from Ethan and started running to the kitchen.

His daughter was Ethan's equal in character, they almost looked like siblings.

Both loved meat as their main food, along with rice.

Something that was almost impossible to achieve often, because Alan could only bring the rice when he went out and came back to the village.

"sit down children"

Ethan and Abie, who heard Elsie, ran to the table while waiting for her with the food.

"Thank you elsie for letting me sleep and feeding me, but don't tell my father."

"don't worry ethan, I won't say anything to Alan, besides this is a compensation for always taking care of my daughter, I don't know what I would do without you."
