Cold Showers — Chapter 61

Sebastian swallowed painfully and ran his fingers through his already messy hair. His life was way more complicated.

"Where is he?" He asked, referring to Aaron.

"Taking a nap but he should be up by now," Katie said before making her way to where Sebastian presumed was Aaron's room.

'What type of a father would he portray if Aaron was truly his son and he chose not to be in the little boy's life?'

Soon enough, Katie came back with Aaron on her hip. The little boy was still kind of sleepy. He had his head rested against Katie's shoulder.

Sebastian could not see his face properly and neither had Aaron seen him.

"Aaron, Your Daddy has come to see you," Katie said to her son.

Aaron removed his head against Katie's shoulder, he became alert.

"Daddy?" He smiled, showing his dimples. The dimples were the only thing Aaron inherited from his mother, Katie.

Katie had tears in her eyes, she knew it was a dream come true for Aaron to finally meet his daddy after days of him asking her about it and she stylishly avoiding the question.

"Yes, love. Your Daddy is over there."

That was when Aaron noticed Sebastian's presence. He was standing beside the couch.

He gestured for his mommy to put him down which she did and then he took fast steps towards Sebastian.

Sebastian squatted towards him and before he could utter a word, Aaron hugged him.

"I miss you, Daddy." the little boy whispered against his chest.

Sebastian wiped a tear that unintentionally rolled down his own cheek. It felt amazing to hear Aaron call him 'Daddy'. A word that he didn't think he would hear until his child with Jayda started talking.

Sebastian pulled away from the hug and took in Aaron's features. The small boy was a replica of him. In addition to other similarities, Aaron had Sebastian's beautiful eyes; the eyes that Jayda confessed she could stare at all day.

More tears welled up in Seb's eyes but he managed to hold them back. He was sure Aaron was his, he could see it, he could feel it.

Sebastian took Aaron's hands in his. "Sorry I've not been there for you all these while. I promise to make it up to you okay?"

Aaron smiled and nodded.

Sebastian managed to return the smile and then kissed his forehead. "Daddy, I want to show you my new toys," Aaron said excitedly.

"Sure, I'd love to see them," Seb replied.

Aaron happily connected his tiny hands with Sebastian's own and led him to his room where his toys were.

Halfway through Seb and Aaron getting to know each other, Aaron told his mom that he was hungry. She made his food and Sebastian offered to feed him.

Seb enjoyed spending time with Aaron. Even though the little boy was almost three years old, he was smart and polite.

When Sebastian announced that it was time for him to leave, his heart broke when he saw that Aaron was almost in tears.

He dropped down to his knees and consoled him. "Don't cry, buddy. I will come to see you tomorrow."

"Promise?" Aaron asked with tear-filled eyes.

"I promise. Do you want me to buy you anything while coming tomorrow?"

"I don't want anything. Just come and play with me." Aaron pouted.

Sebastian smiled. "I'll be here tomorrow evening with a surprise for you okay?"

Aaron nodded.

Sebastian pulled him into a hug and then showered his face with kisses which made him smile.
