Logan'sPOV:
When we heard Virgil scream, we separated immediately and quickly stood up. Scanning the park we noticed he wasn't in the sandbox any more nor was he near the ducks.

Oh god, someone took him! He wondered off and is lost! You haven't been a dad for a week yet and you lost your kid. What if we can't find him!?! Patton will surely leave you and you'll be alone-

I shake myself out of those cognitive distortions and return to the situation at hand. We have to find Virgil.

I feel a spike of anxiety stab through me before I turn to an equally worried Patton.

He is already frantically scanning the entire park before grabbing my hand and tugging me along. We look and shout for Virgil for a solid 5 minutes before we see him being carried by a boy around his age.

Not bridal style or a regular piggy back ride, oh no. The boy has Virgil above his head and is yelling about saving him.

Patton looks torn between being happy he made a friend and angry for some strange boy man handling our son like he is a rag doll. I decide on the latter as I make my way to them.

"Virgil! There you are! We told you to stay where we could see you!"

The boy put Virgil down and stood a little in front of him like he was protecting him from something. It made my chest feel weird but I ignored it.

I didn't like raising my voice in the slightest, especially at or in front of Patton (and now Virgil) but I needed him to understand what he did. Which he seemed to given the look he had on his face.

"I'm sowwy Papa. I not mean to go far! I was playing with Ro-Ro an went far!"

Oh god, keep it together Logan. Don't let his big, round chocolate eyes that have tears forming at the corners make you give in. Stay strong man!

"It's alright Virgil, but you scared Papa and Daddy. We couldn't find you."

Damn.

Patton hugs Virgil as I run a hand through his hair. I turn to the boy, Ro-Ro apparently, and he is staring at us oddly. He glances at me briefly before looking back at Virgil.

"Mister? Can Virge still play?"

"What's your name kiddo?"

"Roman! Roman Pwince! I'm three! Almist four!"

Patton grins and lets go of Virgil telling him to go play but to check every now and again to make sure we can see them. Nodding and giggling the boys go back to playing, the boy-Roman once again lifting my son as if he weighed nothing.

I spot two figures making their way over to us just after Virgil and Roman went back to playing (Castle if whatever Roman is yelling about proves to be correct). They are most likely Roman's parents, they have the same bright smiles and energy the small boy has.

My assumptions are correct when they introduce themselves as his parents and Patton immediately takes a liking to them. Going as far to invite them for a playdate.

This should be interesting. Especially with the Prince family.

Hope you enjoyed!💙
Who should Roman's parents be?
Remy and Emile?
Larry and Dot?
Joan and Talyn?
Help me decide!
