"Shut up! Noctis is about to say his first word!" Regis yelled happily.

I shook my head and continued to read my book, actually pretend to read it. I was watching as Regis and the boys stood over Noctis and waited for him to speak.

"D-"

"Dad?" Cor said with a smile.

"D-"

"Say Dad." Clarus said calmly.

"DUMB ASS!" He squealed.

"NO!" They yelled in shock.

"YES!" Cid yelled happily.

"You have corrupted my son." Regis said as he shook his head.

"M-"

"Please don't be motherfucker." Cor begged.

"Mommy!" Noctis whined as he reached for me.

My eyes went wide and the book fell from my hands. All the boys turned to look at me. I saw a smile spread across Regis face and I quickly grabbed got up.

"Did he just call me.... mommy?" I asked calmly.

"I believe he did." Clarus said calmly.

"I didn't teach him that." Cid said calmly.

"Mommy!" Noctis whined.

I walked over to Noctis and picked him up. He instantly stopped crying and I shook my head.

"You're trying to get me into trouble." I said softly.

He grabbed onto my hair and pulled it. I shook my head and smiled down at him.

"Shame, I thought his first word would be dad." Clarus said calmly.

"Well I think I can handle mommy." He said calmly.

"Technically it was dumb as-"

"Cid, I will stab you." Regis growled out.

Cid held his hands up as I cooed at Noctis. I saw Noctis' eyes start to droop and turned to look at Regis.

"I think he's sleepy." I said calmly.

"Let's get him to bed." He said as we left the room.

I laid Noctis down and smiled as he fell fast asleep.

"Seems you are now my son's mother." Regis said softly.

"Regis I'm not trying to-"

"I know, but in all honesty... I'm glad he sees you that way." He said as he sent me a smile.

"He reminds me of her."

"Yes... though I think I see more of you in him then her... and that could be wishful thinking... but apart of me hopes... that you care about Noctis like you care about me." He said softly.

"Well I can assure you that's not true... see I love Noctis, but only as a son.... I love you a little less."

"Oh should I be jealous?" He asked as I put my arms around his waist.

"A little.... though I don't think I'll dream of kissing Noctis."

"How about instead of dreaming... you actually kiss me."

I sent him a smile and leaned up and pressed my lips against his.
