Baby Parker

Baby Parker

"Baby Parker" an involuntary, audible whisper slipped past his lips as he gaped at the boy in a yellow hoodie cradling a twig-like creature in his tiny hands. Not able to control himself, the exclamation and shock in Mr Grey's voice turned out to be prominent and it caught the attention of everyone in the room, including Mago.

The boy was in the process of whining and complaining about the mean gardener he had encountered earlier, telling King how that overly talkative servant told him that his Chika Chika would not revive back to its health and how it was so unfair when finally, he took notice of another presence in the room and turned to look at the old man standing near the sofa.

At the same time, Lucca entered the room after the boy and instantly sighed in relief when he found Mago already inside the room. The younger suddenly showed his chubby middle finger to the gardener a few minutes ago and ran from the manor's huge garden, leaving a perplexed Lucca behind.

So after ensuring his tiny majesty's security, the man bowed at the King respectfully and silently took his place beside an amused Charlton.

While both Mafia men exchanged a small glance of acknowledgement, Mago raised his perfect sassy brow.

Securitizing Mr Grey under his judgemental stare, while he looked up and down the man's tall frame, Mago turned to take a quick look at all three of King, Charlton and Lucca with his doe-like eyes to try and guess who was referred to as the whispery exclaimed title.

No one seemed to be thrilled though and they weren't even reacting, .......so does that mean......

Meanwhile, Mr Grey silently watched all that commotion and the interesting dialogue between King and the once-lost child with wide-blown eyes. He stared at Mago who, by the look of it, looked spoiled and adored by the large men surrounding his tiny frame.

But what made his mind blown up was the fact that how incredibly that little boy resembled his parents. One look and anyone could tell.....that's how perfectly inherited his gorgeous features were.

On the other hand, Mago blinked cluelessly at the old man, still judging him hard. He titled his head like a kitten and Mr Grey couldn't help but coo at the adorable being.

It was no surprise that the youngest of all was confused as hell. It wasn't every day that some man was astonishingly staring at you with glassy eyes and addressing you as 'Baby Parker' which proved to be kind of strange for him.

Yes, Mago was pretty much sure by now that he was the one who was called by the old man besides, all of that man's attention was planted over him making it clear that only he was under focus.

'But who the fuck is that?' the boy thought deep in his mind.

"Who the fuck is that?" then he asked, voicing his thoughts loud and clear. Mago darted his question at Mr Grey as he kept his eyes fixed on the old man while the other did the same. Totally unexpected was it for Mago, he had come to see King and mourn about his plant but instead of that, he was being stared down by a shocked man who he had never seen before.

Where Mago was sceptically drowning the man under his censorious gaze, King, Charlton and Lucca looked between them silently, waiting for the retake of the past revelation to unfold.

The revelation that belonged to their fiery baby boy.

Meanwhile, Mr Grey was star-struck looking at the boy. All those past years he had imagined different scenarios for when he would meet the heir of Enzo Parker in flesh and blood, the last memory of his best friend in this whole wide world.

But now that he was in front of him, sprouting a series of curses in front of the crime lord, leering at him with his narrowed yet confused doe eyes while scanning him up and down and probably conspiring wild thoughts in that head of his, Mr Grey was tongue-tied.

The man neither had words to express his surprise nor did he know how to compose his racing mind.

"I-It is you. The pride of Enzo and Snow's little boy........Mago Parker" Mr Grey uttered after he found his voice eventually, still very much under the spell of that great one-in-a-million coincidence. Although optimistic about meeting the Parker boy one day, Mr Grey had almost lost hope of ever seeing Mago Parker again.

One can fight alone only for so long, the people around him somehow made him accept the bitter and undesirable truth of that boy not returning ever. But now that he has seen him, it was no less than any miracle.

"excuse me?..... I am no Mago Parker, I am Edward Mago" the boy countered back confidently, he was annoyed already and the situation did nothing but add into it. Being confused was one thing but the way the old man was looking at him like he has found a lost treasure was what vexed Mago.

Mr Grey shifted his happy eyes to the crime lord, their gazes met silently and both of them exchanged a look, a look that committed a whole communication about the boy's presence but without words.

The only confused and now slowly getting irritated was Mago.

Then, as he watched, a full-blown smile appeared on Mr Grey's face. The man marched towards the boy in two long strides and pulled him in his arms for a longing hug. Mago squirmed uncomfortably against Mr Grey until he was left alone.

"I can't believe it.....How?....I mean....I..." Mr Grey stuttered with a smile and Mago turned to look at his boyfriend. The boy looked between king and the old man and then nudged king by circling his bicep, leaning halfway towards king's body. King circled Mago's waist swiftly.

"Believe what? Who is he?" he asked with a whiny tone. He then slump-crashed his small self in king's big build and peeked at the old man, standing few feet away, from the security of his man's arms.

"you can conduct the test you mentioned before.....if that is required for proof" King offered with a charming smile while rubbing at Mago's back in slow motion to provide comfort. He could feel Mago getting edgy and It wasn't a good sign if King knew his boy well.....

"what test are you talking about that he is talking about too" Mago interrupted all puzzled, they were obviously talking about him but weren't indulging him in that interesting discussion.

That was pretty fucked up, wasn't it?

"with the resemblance he possesses, the perfect merge of both his parents.....the test will only firm the reality...." Mr Grey said, eyeing Mago while reminiscing his days with Enzo and Snow.

"....it's just a stamp of confirmation king, a mere formality" he continued. King nodded his head in agreement. Basically, the whole purpose of the meeting was fulfilled, Mago was found and showed to the man who had been looking for the boy almost all his life.

The search was over now and the lost was found......finally.

King already expected that kind of reaction from Mr Grey and after witnessing it, the Crime Lord was completely satisfied......but the one present in the office, in King's arms, nuzzled in his chest, glaring at both Mr Grey and King wasn't satisfied at all.

"Can anybody fucking tell me what the fuck is happening here?!!" Mago, too, finally burst out as he snatched the attention he required to get the answers irking his nerves. The hormonal boy has had enough of those two olders talking about him and to each other, without involving his small self.

Bizarre!!

King chuckled at his lovely boyfriend and kissed his pouty mouth sweetly, pulling the boy flush to his chest before he raised his dark eyes at the old man.

"Meet my beautiful boy..... my baby, my boyfriend....and my queen...... Edward Mago" King started the introduction with a loud and serious voice, stating the status of the boy in his arm. While doing so, he announced the answer to the last apparent curiosity Mr Grey had after seeing Mago cuddling closer to the king, with each passing second.

Well...firstly,

'Why Mago, the innocent soul, was with the Crime lord, a well-known dangerous man?'

And secondly...

'what sort of relationship did he have with the said dangerous man?'

What sorcery is that?

"and Baby, meet Mr Logan Grey...... your father's best friend, his business partner and the best assassin of my Father's empire" king finished subtly, declaring the remaining of Enzo Parker's status secret that Mr Grey wasn't aware of, as he dropped a random kiss on the moving mop of hair under his chin.

After hearing that, Mago once again began to wander his eyes on the man watching him with a smile and teary eyes.

"my papa?" he asked confused.

............

"so that means that Chris had him all this time and he lied to me about not knowing anything?......he made it look like a job that can't be accomplished easily..." Mr Grey grumbled lowly, he was once getting riled up even after thinking about the cunningness of Wren Christopher.

King and Mr Grey sat in the seating area with a new bottle of wine where they discussed the continued story of Mago's life, from his childhood to the day he had fallen on top of the king and his boring empire like a bomb.

They both looked up at the boy sitting on King's desk in a crisscross manner, staring adorably at the tablet screen held in his small hands while both Charlton and Lucca crowded him.

Mago was quiet after he was given a brief history about his deceased parents, his succession of some billion worth of diamonds, his origin and true belonging of being a Mafia baby and Chris's involvement in their lives even before his birth.

Of course, the brutal details and the tale of betrayal were kept from him, not to give the pregnant being trauma, but other than that he was conveyed about them thoroughly. As expected, there was a tsunami of questions that started swirling in his tummy but before he could bombard Mr Grey with those questions, since he wasn't the type to believe a story that is recited to him out of the blue, Charlton came to everyone's rescue.

The right-hand man then presented the image of the couple and a separate picture of a baby Mago he had stored in his tab, to the boy. Mago stared at his baby form with his mouth agape and zoomed the picture to get a closer look at the image.

A little child, maybe nine months, sat on the carpeted floor surrounded by loads and loads of stuffed toys. His tiny body bare of any clothes showcasing rolls of pale fat, his toothless milky goo-smeared mouth giggling at the camera and his tiny fist holding a piece of broccoli.

How adorable......

"This is me?" Mago giggled at his own picture making the two buff men, hovering him on the table, smile as well as they teased the boy by poking his belly.

King and Mr Grey also smiled fondly.

"the part, whether he lied to you or not or when did he get the hold of my boy, needs disclosure yet. But yes, Mago was under Chris's care for most of his life as his foster parent......" King began by explaining while Mr Grey listened.

"....He had raised him with two of his own children and under strict circumstances.....very strict. And since he is one of those who claims money even if they had to walk two steps for you....... My best guess for bringing Mago up as his foster child is.....for the full and all demand of diamonds." the crime lord stated with a chuckle. It was funny for him to see all of Mr Chris's efforts that he had been doing for many years flipping back and leaving him with nothing.

"of course, the diamonds. He was and is a greedy little bastard....." Mr Grey agreed, again proud of his wise decisions back in those years.

"Now I hate him more" he commented earning a nod from King.

"no surprise here Mr Grey.......he is the type to acquire hate in anything he does, isn't he?" this time the old man nodded, agreeing with a sigh while he fiddled with the sleeve of his shirt.

King found it endearing to see a man, old enough to know the world, getting nervous when he wanted to ask something.

"uh...king...." Mr Grey began nervously and King just tipped his chin for the other to continue.

"I...my family doesn't know that I am here......they must be..." he left the sentence when King placed his glass on the table and stood up, Mr Grey followed.

"you can leave Mr Grey........it was nice meeting you. My men will escort you to your desired location." The crime lord offered and stretched his hand for a firm handshake, Mr Grey obliged and smiled thankfully.

"thank you so much King.......and thank you for letting me meet Mago, it means so much." he continued showing his gratitude and then turned to look at Mago for once before looking back at King.

"if you don't mind....may I?" Mr Grey asked, gesturing towards the boy and asking permission from his intimidating boyfriend.

King nodded without any fuss.....it was an old man, an uncle to Mago after all.

Mr Grey paced towards the oblivious boy, wanting to say goodbye properly before he left. The said boy was muttering something suspiciously to his friends and only looked up when both Charlton and Lucca stepped back to make way for their guest.

Their eyes met and they stared. One was a curious pair of big round orbs, glaring sceptically, while the other was tired and old, just happy to be able to see. While Mago deemed, Mr Grey reached forward to cup the younger's face in his warm palms. The boy stayed silent, observing the man and his tactics, as he waited for the other to begin.

"I may not be your father Mago.....but please believe me when I say that..." An emotion, a combo of determination, sadness and love, was what oozing out from his tone. Mago was quick in understanding that feeling and to reciprocate, he slightly softened his harsh glare.

"....you are my son,.... my boy, .....a part of my family." He declared emotionally with his saddened gaze boring into Mago's curious eyes.

"And I will do anything in my power to provide what you deserve..... You are not alone in this world anymore sweetheart......just remember this please." Mr Grey finished with a promise. He then gently pulled the younger's face up and placed a longing soft kiss on his temple, just like a father would, before pulling away completely.

If he had seen correctly, Mago might have witnessed a lone tear dropping from Mr Grey's eyes which he swiftly wiped.

With those promises, Mr Grey glanced at King, they nodded at each other and then he was escorted out of the office leaving an uncomfortable and filled with loads of questions and silence in the room.
