3 years later
Walking up in the morning and seeing the world was something Jade
was thankful for. It had been three years since she gained her eye sight
and she didn't miss any moment to cherish the blessing or take it for
granted.
Getting out of the bed, she walks into the bathroom attached to the
room. Doing her normal morning business she comes out of the
bathroom. An instant smile travels her face as she her eyes catch the
sight of the small figure siting up on the small bed or crib.
Walking towards the crib, with the smile still on her face she watches as
the tiny figure sat inside the crib, with their back facing towards Jade, as
they played with the soft toys that they went to sleep with in the night.
"Hey" Jade says so she could capture the person's attention, which she
managed to do successfully.
A smile graces their face as they turn their face towards Jade, their
blue-green eyes sparkling as they watch Jade.
"Mama" standing up on their crib, the tiny figure raises their hands up,
showing her that they wanted to be picked up. Which she gladly does.
Lifting them into her arms, she smiles as they wrap their arms around
her neck.
It's been two and a half years since she had given birth to her baby. he
was her lifeline and the person that kept her going. With midnight
black hair and blue-green eyes he was a looker.
Adonis Romano was her two and a half year old son and her world. She
loved him to death and would protect him at all costs with her life.
"Come on, we need to get ready. Don't you want Aunty Scarlett's
cookies?" She asks him knowing how much he loved Scarlett's baked
cookies.
She watched as he bounced up and down in excitement, while she
carried him to the bathroom so she could get him ready.
After bathing him and dressing in his winter clothes along with a small
beanie on his head. Since it was December and it had already started
snowing. She gets ready herself afterwards, leaving Adonis to play with
his toys.
She locks her apartment with her keys, turning to the side she watches
as Adonis giggles softy as a snowflake lands on his small button nose. A
small smile plays on her lips as she watched him.
"Come on" extending her hand so that she could his tiny ones in hers,
even though he was just a toddler he was adamant on walking,
sometimes refuses to be picked up. Who was she to deny him that?!
The normal green and grassy surrounding was covered in a layer of
thick white snow. Sure her werewolf genes kept her warm, Jade liked to
sometimes go along with it ; act like any normal human you would find,
sure it was delusion of her to think that she could live like a normal
human being who went about their lives without a care in the world,
had the free reign to do anything.
Sadly, nothing about Jade was normal, because firstly, she was a Hybrid
the species that shouldn't even exist in the first place yet here she was,
squashing that myth/theory with her presence. Secondly, she had a
mate who was trying to find her, and this supposed mate doesn't have
a clue about their son.
Jade had been living in her own apartment, for the past two years. A
few months after she had given birth to her son, she had moved out of
Scarlett's house, which the woman wasn't happy about but after a lot of
pleading and assuring her that she would be alright with a new born.
But there was a catch obviously. Scarlett only let her move out after
Jade had agreed to her demands, which was that Jade was to live close
to Scarlett's house, so that Scarlett could come visit them whenever she
wanted to. Which Jade was happy about and happily obliged.
Jade had also managed to work for the past one and a half years.
Scarlett owned a bakery not too far away from where Jade lived. It was
a win win situation really, Jade got to make money plus she would take
Adonis with her to the bakery, which he absolutely loved. Why wouldn't
he? After all he got to eat all the sweets that his lovely Aunt Scarlett
would feed him. The boysâ got a real sweet tooth.
Finally after a fifteen minute walk Jade stands outside the âLa Douceur".
This was the bakery Scarlett owned in the heart of Winston. People here
loved the baked goods the bakery had to offer hence the hustle and
bustle infront of Jade, she watched as people sat in the booths, chit
chatting, and smiling. This was the one of the few bakeries in town, so it
was obviously famous among the locals.
Winston was a small town slash village kind of community. A tight-knit
community of people. Tall trees and thick rain forest areas were
common here, this place oozed calmness and brings peace to ones
soul. People here were friendly and hospitable.
She can't count the amount of people who had offered her help during
her pregnancy. She was almost at the verge of crying, which might've
made some people look at her in concern. The small town hosted
nearly three thousand people.
Opening the door to "La Douceurâ, she inhales in the addicting aroma of
coffee that seemed to waft around the air. The Cafe had a homey
feeling to it, with it being decorated in brown tones of shade.
Feeling someone tug at her hands, she looks down only to see big blue
green eyes staring at her with excitement and then staring at all the
baked goodies that seemed to be put up behind the glass counter, not
so long ago.
Jade shakes her head at her son's obvious excitement. She's going to
have one hyper toddler by the end of the day.
As soon as both the mother and son duo walk in a chorus of âGood
Mornings" are thrown their way, which she replies back to.
"Good Morning Jade.â Frank, the barista instantly chimes up upon
seeing Jade wake in.
