He's growing up [Jax]

Her son had grown into a little man and Affy was not sure when it had happened. It felt almost as if it had happened overnight, she had gotten up one morning and he had woken before her, dressed and was playing quietly. He made the toast when she asked him to, he could pour his own drinks, and he was getting so tall. She would not admit that she had smiled at him that morning when he had asked to go play kindly and nodded that he could as she cleaned the table before sobbing into the dishwater. Her baby was not a baby anymore. He was a boy now, he was now her little man, and so much like his father, it wrenched her heart. For the better part of three years, she had done this alone, while running three businesses and she could not be more proud of how smart and wonderful he was.

Renny was more like Jaxon than she could have imagined, and seeing them together now, for almost the last year, showed it. Jaxon was an amazing father and she hoped that any other children that he fathered in the future would benefit from the time that he had spent with their son. Before she knew it he would be at Pevrell during the day and she would have so much free time in her life. Maybe she would go back to school for business or something when he did. Something to keep her busy, not that the daycare and the bar didn't already do that, but keep her mind busy. She knew what it was that had been on her mind lately and she knew what it was that was causing her to feel so ill. Three times now she had felt it and for a few weeks, she had been rather ill. Rather sore too. She had gone to the store and taken it. She was indeed pregnant. That meant one thing.

She was pregnant again. Jaxon was not single and this could pose a whole load of problems and issue within things. She had no idea how Tessa would take this, would she become upset with Jaxon, or with her? Would Tessa blame her? She had no idea, but she wasn't going to keep a secret. If Jaxon did what Parker had done and asked her to take a potion, though she heartily doubted that he would, she would tell him where to shove it. Taking a nausea potion before she left she carried some cracker in her bag and some snacks for her little man.

She had planned a trip to the zoo with cake and a few that they considered family. Which wasn't much, but Astrid, Kian, Jaxon (and Tess if he wished to bring her), and she had considered contacting her parents but before she even dialed the number she changed her mind. She wasn't going down that path. She didn't need to do that mess again and she sure as hell wasn't going to let him hurt her son, ever. It was one of the reasons she had little to nothing to do with them as it was. Kian and Astrid were likely too busy as they declined the invitation and Jaxon had said that he wanted it to just be them, so it would merely be the three of them. Their little family and so it was just them. She carried the cake in a box in one hand, he had asked for a PudU Quidditch cake, because they were his favorite team, and he wanted them to win this year. She wasn't about to argue with him as he wore his jersey over his shirt that his father had gotten made for him and a pair of shorts.

She had given his hair a slight trim around his face to keep his curls out of his eyes, and if she did say so herself he looked rather adorable. Her eyes peaked out from under his father's hair and she smiled at him and nodded as they reached the point where they had all agreed to meet and laughed as her son ran off towards his father. It squeezed her heart, but she tamped the feeling down and pushed her long braid behind her shoulder. "Hey." She greeted the man when she got closer and gave him a bright smile. Though she knew he would know that she had been crying, especially with how much time they had spent together in the last year. "He dressed himself today, but I fixed his shoes. So close. You guys can take him tonight, if you want, it's one of the things he wanted for his birthday."
