Alpha’s Second Chance Mate (Sidonie & Carlyle)

Chapter 43

Chapter 43

DONNIE’S POV

The engine hummed softly as the car glided through the late afternoon traffic. The sun painted warm hues on the horizon, casting a gentle glow inside the car. Jake, strapped securely in his car seat, fidgeted with excitement.

“Did you have fun at the park today, Mason?”

He nodded vigorously. “I loved the slide and swing, Mama! It was so fun!

“I’m glad you enjoyed it, buddy.” I smiled at him through the rearview mirror. “We’ll have

to go again soon. Maybe we can try the merry–go–round next time.”

“Round and round, Mama! Yeah!”

I laughed at his antics. “Yes baby. Now, we’re off to Grandma Athena’s house. What do you want to do there?” I asked, as the traffic light in front of me turned green.

“Cookies!” Mason’s face lit up with the promise of sweet treats.

I chuckled, “Cookies it is. Remember, not too much.”

As we approached Athena’s house, a familiar sight on the quiet street, I felt a sense of comfort. The car slowed to a stop, and I turned to Jake.

“We’re here, little buddy. Ready to see Athena?”

“Play with Teddy,” he waved his worn down teddy bear around.

“That sounds like a plan. Let’s go see Athena and then you can play with Teddy while I grab a few things, okay?”

Mason beamed, his excitement palpable as I unbuckled him from his car seat. The car door creaked open, and we stepped out onto the familiar sidewalk. The scent of blooming flowers lingered in the air as we made our way to Athena’s welcoming door.

As we entered, the aroma of something delicious cooking filled the air, and Mason’s eyes lit up.

“Donnie! You’re back.” Athena uttered.

Athena came out of the kitchen and took Mason from me.
