"Are you excited Axel?"
"Yes yes yes." He jumped up and down as we arrived at the zoo.
"What is your favorite animal?" Sebastian asked.
"Ooo." Axel was so quite yesterday, he must a little bit shock when he saw Sebastian but now he's a little bit talkative.
"Let's go see lion buddy" Sebastian tickled him and Axel giggled loudly. I smiled looking at this. I asked Sebastian this morning if he wanted to bring the baby cart but he said no. He really wanted to carry Axel everywhere.
"Sebastian are you sure that you don't want to take a baby cart? We can rent it there." I said and he turned to me.
"I'm fine, I want to carry him.”
"Aren't you jetlag?"
"I'm fine Lexy, stop worrying." He smiled and kissed the side of my head. I felt the warmness creeping my body.
"So are you excited?" This time Sebastian asked Axel.
He looked at Sebastian with his twinkling adorable eyes making Sebastian smile widely. I bought the ticket first and we walked inside. I took the map and showed it to Axel.
"So little boy, pick which animal do you want to see?" I said and he pointed random cause he doesn’t understand it. He pointed at the elephant picture though.
"Elephant here we go." Sebastian said and we started to walk passing the otters first.
"Oh oh." Axel pointed at the swimming otters and he looked at them with his eyes widen.
"You like it huh?" Sebastian asked and Axel just chuckled.
Sebastian tickled him and Axel giggled. Sebastian put Axel on his shoulder and held him so tightly. I kept my hand behind Axel’s back so he won’t fall. I can’t believe we can have this kind of time together. I never imagine and never expect to see Sebastian again but seeing him again and be with Axel together is just the best thing that ever happen to me.
I'm really happy right now.. I can't believe I'm this happy. Having Axel already gave me a happiness and add Sebastian in the picture made me even more happy. This is the family that I've always dream of.
"Lexy." I turned up to Sebastian.
"Huh?"
"Are you okay?" He asked and I nodded.
"Let's go" Sebastian put Axel down to his arms again and then he took my hand. My breath got hitch and I kept looking at his hand. He intertwined his hand with mine. He’s holding Axel on his other arm.
"Axel.. look at that!!" Sebastian said and Axel turned. His eyes widen and he clapped his hands.
"What is that?" I asked Axel.
Axel gestured a lion’s paw, he often watched a baby cartoon with lion in it so maybe he recognized it. I laughed seeing his gesture, he giggled again looking at it. I've never seen him this happy before. When he visited this place Lucy, he saw Lucy's dad and I bet he wonder when his dad was because he kept reaching for Lucy’s dad to hug him.
Yesterday was a really shocking day for him and he's so happy. He found a dad figure even though he doesn’t understand it. I saw that he looked happier. He slept beside Sebastian and Sebastian hugged him so tightly. I bet they felt the bond.
Yesterday, I can't help but stare at them when they sleep. Sebastian Ctrl+C and Axel Ctrl+V, it looked like they're twins. I love the view.. I stared at them for a really long time until I realized that it's 2 in the morning.
"Mamama.” He reached out his hand from me and I picked him up from Sebastian’s arm. I hugged him tightly and he looked at me.
“What’s the matter.. baby?” I asked Axel and he turned his head away again looking at the crowd.
“He’s excited.” Sebastian said and I nodded.
We walked towards all the animal section and Axel was so excited. He kept looking at them. He’s just fascinate with all the animals. Axel reached out his hands to Sebastian and he just love being in Sebastian’s arms.
I think he’s comfortable and he fact that their bond is so strong adds it all. I still can’t believe that this is nor a dream. I felt genuinely happy and starting to want this as my everyday view.
Today, I kept having this rollercoaster mood all over my head. There are some points that made me down and there are some points that made me smile. I can’t describe my feelings.
"Thankyou.." I turned to Sebastian.
"Uh?"
"For giving birth to Axel, he's a really wonderful boy.”
"He is.. Thankyou for spending time with him. Before you came, he kept reaching his hands out to Lucy’s dad. I was speechless but my mom told him that you went for work far far away even though he doesn’t understand that." I said as I looked at Axel clapping his hands looking at the flamingo.
"I won't leave him again, he’s a Cesborn." I nodded, Axel is his son. His blood, his own son.
"Axel Cesborn.. I really love hearing that." Sebastian added and I just smiled.
"He's literally a mini you.. everytime I see him, I see you Sebastian.” I said honestly.
"He got your smile, if you didn't notice.”
"Ooo ooo Jorday" Axel said, he can talk a little and since he loves Jordy.. he can look at it for hours and hours without getting bored. Jordy our neighbour's parrot by the way.
"Who's Jordy?"
"My neighbour's parrot, Axel loves to watch it every evening with Mr. Qolint." I said and Sebastian nodded.
"Wait! Who is this Mr. Qolint?" He asked in a jealous tone.
"A 80 year old grandpa!" I glared and he smirked.
