Patton'sPOV:
"Lo, honey, why don't you let me do it?"

"I can do it!! I refuse to be bested by a blasted car seat!"

I just shake my head at my husband. We really should have a day dedicated to buckling Virgil's car seat so this doesn't happen every time. Or maybe we should buy a car seat Logan can operate.

"Papa getin' mad."

"I'm not mad at you Starlight, I'm mad at this darn seat! It pinches me for no reason whatsoever!"

"Papa."

Much to my amusement, our two-year-old son buckled his own seat much faster than my 27 year-old husband. I couldn't keep back the giggles that escaped my throat and Virgil soon joined in. Logan's face flushed the greatest shade of red while he adjusted his glasses and tie.

"I hate this thing....but I'm proud that we have such a smart son."

Once everyone was inside the car and buckled up, we made our way to the park! I thought I'd be a good idea so Virgil could make some friends and get out of the house. Also, there was always a cute doggo needing to be pet.

"Daddy, wer goin?"

"It's where honeybee. And we're going to the park! They have a playground, a pond, ducks and kids you can play with!"

"Duck?"

"Yes Virgil, ducks and some fish I believe as well."

"Fish!"

Once we get the the park we go over some basic rules. Don't talk to strangers, stay where we can see you, no you can't bring a duck home, etc. Virgil toddles his way to a little slide while Logan and I sit on a bench.

I notice that Virgil isn't playing with the other kids. In fact, he's doing his very best to keep to himself while playing in the sandbox. Every time one of the kids would come up, he wouldn't talk and just ignore them.

"Lo, he's not playing with the other kids."

"Give him time Pat, he's probably just shy."

I start bouncing my leg and wringing my hands together watching Virgil play in the sandbox alone. I just want my baby to make some friends but the poor kiddo is so shy!

"Honey, please cease your worried movements. Virgil will make a friend in no time, maybe not today but he will."

"You're right Logan. I just worry about him. He's so young and has been through so much. Virgil is already so smart I just-"

My rambling was cut off as Logan kissed me to make me stop. It's a very effective way to get me to stop talking and I am perfectly okay with it. Practically melting into the kiss and wrapping my arms around his neck I forget where we are for a minute.

That is, until I hear Virgil screaming.
