Alpha’s Second Chance Mate (Sidonie & Carlyle)

Chapter 42

SIDONNIE’S POV

“Mama, park!” Mason’s eyes sparkled with excitement as he tugged at his tiny sneakers, struggling to put them on.

I smiled down at him, kneeling to help. “Yes, sweetheart, we’re going to the park! Are you ready?”

“Can I ride the slide? Can I ride the swings, mommy?” He exclaimed with his enthusiasm being contagious. He was fidgeting as I pulled his sneakers on.

Following Athena’s words, I decided to take Mason out for fun as I’ve been spending too much time working. It was a mother–son date this time.

“Of course you can, baby. We’ll go on the slide and swing, just like last time,” I replied, finally securing the Velcro on his sneakers.

“What color of slide do you want to go on today?”

He pondered for a moment, his brow furrowed in concentration.

“I wanna go on the red slide, mama.

“Red slide it is,” I agreed, standing up and reaching for his favorite little blue jacket. “Now, let’s get your jacket on. It’s a bit chilly outside. What do we do, baby?”

Mason extended his arms, wiggling with impatience. “Arms up,

Mama!”

I chuckled, sliding the jacket over his tiny arms. “Good job, Jakey! Now, where’s your favorite toy? Do you want to bring Mr. Teddy to the park?”

“Mr. Teddy!” Mason dashed off, returning with a slightly worn teddy bear almost as big as him.

“Great choice!” I grinned, helping him clutch Teddy securely. “Now, let’s grab your water bottle. We need to stay hydrated, especially if we’re going to play a lot. Make sure to drink some every now and then.”

He nodded, his face serious as he held out his hands for the water bottle. “Ok, mommy. I’ll drink. Now, can we go?” He whined, making me chuckle.

“You’re one smart boy, my love,” I praised, handing him the bottle. “Okay, Mason, we’re all set. We can go now. Are you excited to go to the park?”
