Chapter 19: Indigo

TW

CHILD

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

I stand behind grey and peer around him. I'm fucking scared of kids, especially small children that have snotty faces and sticky hands. Oakley told me that this girl is 4, I must admit she can speak well for her age, that means she'll talk a lot. Great.

"Hi everyone I'm Amelia, I apologize for Sophie's....bluntness" a girls voice greets us, she sounds soft.

"Hey babe" Oakley says just before my eardrums get shattered

"Oakley!" The little shit shouts out and jumps on my brother

"Hey squirt!" He shouts back, maybe Oakley needs that 4 year olds energy, it's like him but younger and a girl.

"This is belle" Ollie says through the chaos, I look around grey and see a small girl maybe 5,2 still fucking taller than me, with dark brown hair and pretty blue eyes. She waves and smiles shyly.

"Hello" she greets while stood at Ollie's side. I mentally awww, any child over the age of 12 I can deal with, especially if they're cute like this one.

"After greeting everyone else Amelia and her spawn of satan appear with my brother next to them.

"Why are you so tall" Sophie says and frowns looking at my fiancée

"Why are so annoying" I reply, grey snakes his arm round my waist and leans down to my ear.

"Be nice blue" that kinda turned me on-

There is a child present indigo

"Indi come on, don't be like that" Oakley says and picks up the little fucker.

"So Amy, what are your intentions with my brother" I say getting her name wrong

Oakley snorts and covers his mouth but then switches to seriousness after he sees the glare he's getting from my mother who's been watching the whole interaction.

"You know that's not my name hunny, get it right or don't say it babe" ok maybe she's not as soft as I thought, we stan a strong woman. I like her.

"Hmmmm, I like you" I decide and Oakley, grey and mum sigh in relief. What I'm not that awful.

"That's good, I like you too, I also love your dress" she compliments and I smile at her.

"I love yours too, also your hair is stunning" I compliment back.

"What the fuck-" grey half whispers and tilts his head.

"It's ok grey, don't try and keep up with it, we don't want you to get a brain strain" i smirk and he furrows his brows even more.

"What's a brain strain?" Oh. My. God.

"Ok- never mind baby" I say and pat him on the chest.

"A brain strains not a thing mister" Sophie says and laughs. Did she just laugh at my poor confused man child. Vibe crushed.

"Don't laugh at my fiancée soap" I say and cross my arms

"Don't touch my husband" she says back. Sorry what-

"You don't have a husband young lady, not until you're at least 50" Oakley warns and I smile at them.

"Yes I do, it's him" she confesses and points at grey. Yeah cute but no.

Grey shakes his head vigorously and his eyes widen.

"Uh-uh little miss, you'll get me into trouble with my girl" he's just pretending indigo, don't let it get to your head.

She reaches for him and he picks her up.

"I'm Sophie but you can call me soph....ok?" She says and pats his cheek. Her eyes are a really mesmerizing brown. She's looking right in his eyes, Jesus it's like she's reading his soul.

"Ok" he whispers back "I'm Greyson but you can call me grey" she shakes her head and her curly locks bounce on her shoulders.

"I'm going to call you bear, because you're big like a bear and you look scary but your actually really soft and cuddly" she tells him and snuggles into his chest.

I'm actually jealous of a 4 year old

Grey nods and smiles while looking at me.

"Can we have one?"

"No"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I'm currently speaking to belle and she's really sweet, mine and greys parents are speaking with Amelia who's stood with Oakley.

Grey is stood with Matteo while he holds Sophie who's sleeping on him and has been for the past 45 minutes. It's actually kind of cute, not the kid but the fact greys so good with it.

"Well it was really nice speaking to you but Ollie just messaged me to say that he's gonna do something cool which probably means he's about to jump off something or push a button, and that's not good for any of us" she says and I laugh

"Nice talking to you to belle" I reply, she's incredibly grown up for her age.

Belle gets up and Amelia replaces her and smiles at me.

"Sorry that Sophie stole your fiancée" she greets and laughs slightly.

"Quite alright, it means he won't be hanging off of me for the day" I reply and we both chuckle.

"What about you? Where Sophie's dad" I question, I don't care if it's straight to the point, if she wants to be with Oakley I need to know about her.

"I- yeah.....he used to hit us so I left a year and a half ago, he's gone now" she explains and suddenly I actually feel bad for the little germ in greys arms. I hug Amelia and she hugs me back.

"You're ok now though, that's the main thing" I comment and she nods her head.

"So how did you meet, Greyson?" She asks

"We're in an arranged marriage for our mafias-" and this is why people shouldn't rely on me to keep a secret.i litrally can't keep my mouth shut.

"I mean....we love each other and we met at a bowling alley" I try to save it but it's too late. I look at her and smile awkwardly.

"I know you guys are in the mafia babe, everyone does, it's alright" she replies and I sigh in relief. Thank fuck for that Oakley would've actually killed me.

"Jesus, I was scared for a second there" I say and look to where Greyson is stood beside me.

"Can you hold her while I go to the bathroom?" he asks and peels the child off of him.

"It's fine I can hold her" Amelia says but grey shakes his head

"I think it would be good for indigo to bond with her niece" Woah niece when did that happen.

"Niece, slow down there buddy" I say and lean back when he puts Sophie on my lap.

"Nah, the way oakleys talking about her, they'll be married by next year" he shrugs and waves  at me before leaving.

"Arranged marriage my ass, he's so in love with you and you're totally looking at him with fuck me eyes" Amelia says and looks at me with Sophie.

Sophie looks up to me and brushes my hair behind my ear, what the fuck-

"You're very pretty blue" why is she calling me blue

"Why are you calling me blue, gremlin" Amelia laughs and shakes her head at me.

"Bear called you blue, isn't that your name?" She asks

"Nah my names indigo soap" I tell her and she giggles at the nick name

"Alright then, bear said that you're the most beautiful girl in the world and he likes you, he also said that he was the one that ate your fruit loops but I wasn't supposed to tell you any of that" she admits and buries her head in my shoulder

Ok this kid Is kinda cute, I'll make this one exception, plus she's probably going to be my niece so....

Amelia laughs and Sophie giggles when I tickle her, I know I switched up fast but this kids eyes are just.... Let's just say she won't have an issue with boys.

I notice a small scar on the side of her head and she frowns when she sees me looking.

"Ricky did it, he hit me with the edge of his gun" who's Ricky

"That's her dad" Amelia fills in and I look down at soph.

"It's ok though mummy saved us" she says and smiles up at me.

"Ok" I reply and nod my head. Poor kid. Jesus Christ.

We sit and talk for a bit longer before grey comes back, he's been talking to my dad, I saw him discussing something with him in the corner, probably the mission we've got next week. We have Franco's location and we're going to find him.

"Ok I'm back" he says and reaches for soph but I pull back

"No, you had her for ages I want her now" I say and his tired face changes to a smile.

"Ok baby" he replies, I know he's tired, he just slipped up and called me baby. We don't have to pretend anymore, Amelia knows.

The dinner bell goes and we all head into the dining hall to eat, grey grabs my hand and falls into step with me. He's tired, he's always touchy when he's tired.

We sit down to eat and get into conversation with each other, grey just sits with his hand on my thigh quietly eating. I'm worried now, he knows that we're not in a relationship, he said it himself that we can't be so why is he being so boyfriend-y.

I guess I'll have to find out, so I stand up and as expected he stands with me, looking slightly panicked at my sudden movements.

"What's wrong?" He asks

"Outside now, we need to talk" I state and walk out he follows me and we head to the kitchen.

"Ok what's up?"

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

I'll update again tonight! What will grey say I wonder?

I don't like kids, but Sophie's cool ngl.

Hope this was ok

Thank you for 120k love y'all
