7 years later.........

Bang!!Bang!!Bang!!

The banging sound on Kongpob's and Arthit's room started to continue. Kongpob and Arthit were hugging each other and sleeping peacefully until they heard the bang on the door.

"Mommy *sniff* Daddy" the small sweet voice was heard outside the door.

Kongpob opened his eyes first hearing the bang and the voice outside. Feeling something moving in the bed, Arthit also opened his eyes and heard the voice.

"What happened now?"

Arthit asked still sleepily, Kongpob showed a sign that he doesn't know. Kongpob stood up and opened his door to see a small boy, with white skin and round black teary eyes in his pajamas. Kongpob smiled at the child and knelt down to match up with the height.

"What happened to mommy's boy. Huh?"

Kongpob asked his son smoothly and softly. The boy sniffled again and hugged his mommy "Mommy...*sniff* Aroon had a nightmare. A ghost....*sniff* ghost will eat Aroon" the baby boy hugged his mommy tightly, thinking about the nightmare.

Kongpob hushed his son to stop the tears falling from the round eyes.

"Don't cry a baby. Mommy is here right, no ghost is going to come okay" Kongpob felt Aroon nodding in his shoulder.

Arthit who was watching the scene only smiled seeing the mother and son conversation. Arthit stood up from the bed and went towards his son.

" Don't cry. No ghost is going to come. Daddy and Mommy are here right. We will beat the ghost if it will come." Arthit said as he showed a punching motion to the child, like beating the ghost. Aroon let out a small laugh seeing his Daddy.

"Do Aroon want to sleep with Daddy and Mommy?"

Kongpob asked his son as he wiped away the traces of tears in those white chubby cheeks.

Upon hearing that Aroon nodded enthusiastically and hoped on to his Mommy, who carried him to the bed along with Arthit following behind. Kongpob placed Aroon in the middle of the bed while he and Arthit laid in either side of their son placing a hand on the boy.

"Daddy story!!" Aroon asked enthusiastically.

Aroon always asks his Daddy or Mommy to say him a story before he goes to sleep. Mostly it is Arthit who say the story to Aroon while Aroon asks Kongpob to sing him songs before going to sleep.

"Aroon, baby it is already late you know we have to get up soon tomorrow. Don't you know the specialty of tomorrow Aroon?" Arthit' asked his son since it is already late Arthit didn't want Aroon to wake up late in the morning as tomorrow is a special day. Aroon went dull hearing that there is no chance for hearing the story but soon his face glowed when he remembered about the special day. Aroon nodded enthusiastically with the widest smile showing his dimple. Kongpob smiled seeing his son, he kissed Aroon's forehead "Now sleep Aroon. We need to get up on time tomorrow" Aroon nodded to his mommy and hugged both of his parents to himself.

"Daddy!!!Daddy!!! Wake up!!! Daddy wake up!!!"

Arthit opened his eyes feeling someone shaking him and calling him. He opened his eyes and saw his son smiling widely at him.

"Daddy!!! Do you know what day is today?" his son asked with a wide smile.

Arthit' smiled seeing his son's happiness as he hugged him to his chest.

He is just like his mommy in character, he always wakes up early just along with his mommy.

Mommy like son

Arthit took Aroon and caught him in the air. Aroon's sweet laughter was echoed in the room.

" Would I forget my little angel's birthday? Happy birthday Aroon!!!" Aroon hugged his daddy tightly hearing the wish. Yes, today is Aroon's birthday, he is turning 7 today.

Especially there is a birthday party going to be held today, that is why Aroon is Soo happy. He was waiting for this day to come for the past 1 week.

"Daddy loves you Aroon," Arthit said as he kissed his son's forehead. Aroon smiled widely showing his dimple.

"Aroon love, daddy, too!!" Aroon replied enthusiastically. Arthit got up from his bed and stood to yarn.

It is weekend today so he got to spend the full day with Aroon and his husband along with his family and friends who are coming to Aroon's birthday party.

"Aroon, go help mommy. Daddy will freshen up and come" Aroon nodded obediently to his daddy and rushed outside the room with a cute smile on his face.

"Mommy!!!Mommy!! Daddy wishes Aroon happy birthday. He also gives me a kiss, just like how Mommy did" Aroon said pointing at his forehead.

Kongpob smiled widely seeing his son's actions and how happy he is today. Kongpob knelt down in front of his son leaving the kitchen work.

"Will Aroon give Mommy a kiss in return of mommy's kiss to Aroon" Kongpob said pointing at his cheeks.

Aroon laughed and hugged his mommy giving a tight kiss to Kongpob's cheeks.

******

Aroon is sitting on the partition table eating his favorite chocolate cupcakes that his mommy prepared for him, watching how his mommy is cooking their breakfast.

"Aroon don't eat too much cupcake, you won't be able to eat breakfast," Kongpob said looking at his son while arranging the dishes.

"But mommy, I only ate two. Besides mommy's cupcake is very tasty" Aroon said as he tried to convince his mommy.

Kongpob chuckled hearing his son. He went near his son and carried him to the dining table and seated him on the chair.

"You can eat the cupcakes after eating breakfast but now eat your food," Kongpob said, placing Aroon's favorite tuna sandwich with a smile on it.

Aroon's eyes glowed seeing his favorite food. He quickly nodded and took a bit of the sandwich. He made a yummy sound while eating.

"Mommy is the best cook" Aroon complemented while eating. Kongpob shook his head smiling how Aroon is just happy by seeing his favorite food. He placed the pink milk which was Aroon's favorite drink in front of him.

"Mommy is the best, I love you," Aroon said as he quickly took the drink and started sipping it.

Arthit' came down all fresh and saw his son drinking his Pink milk saying I love you to Kongpob. Arthit' smiled and walked towards the dining table.

" Oh, so Aroon doesn't like Daddy huh?" Arthit said acting sulky to his son. Aroon turned towards his daddy and smiled at his sulking daddy. He swallowed the food in his mouth and got down from the seat. He went towards his daddy and hugged his leg.

" Daddy don't be sad na. Aroon loves daddy too" he said in his most sweet voice. Arthit' smiled and took Aroon in his arms. "Then give daddy a kiss," Arthit said as he pointed at his cheek. Without any hesitation, Aroon gave a light kiss to his Daddy's cheeks. Kongpob was smiling widely seeing his son and husband. "Okay okay....now come to eat your food both daddy and son," Kongpob said as he placed the food for his P'Arthit and son. Arthit nodded and went towards his chair keeping Aroon down from his body.

"Mommy, Daddy will P'Chai and P'Nai will come?"

He asked with full hope in his voice as they all sat together to have breakfast.

Chai is Wad's and Pream's adopted son, he is 9 years now. While Nai is Bright's and Rome's adopted daughter, yeah finally both of them decided to get married and after one year of marriage, they decided to adopt a daughter who is now 8 years old. Both Chai and Nai are best friends of Aroon. They both are like real brother and sister for Aroon. Kongpob and Arthit looked at each other and smiled.

"Of course Aroon. They wouldn't miss their favorite brother's birthday" Arthit said and both Arthit and Kongpob laughed seeing how excited Aroon is.

Arthit and Kongpob where both happy when their own son and their friend's children got together very nicely. They always adored Aroon as their own brother.

Even though both Chai and Nai know that they are adopted children they never think that they are not a member of the family and no one made them feel that way. Arthit' and Kongpob see them just like how they see Aroon. Both Wad and Pream, and Bright and Rome are very happy that all their friends and family don't see their children as an adopted child. They love them as their own blood.

The evening had reached and all the setups are done in the wide backyard in Arthit's and Kongpob's house. Arthit and Kongpob are keeping the decorations as a surprise for their son. Aroon keeps on asking to go to the backyard but his parents insist him to wait till the guests arrive. The house was decorated with blue and orange balloons since it is one of Aroon's favorite colors. Aroon was jumping up and down while his mommy was dressing him up.

"Aroon stop jumping! I can't make you wear this dress if you jump as this" Kongpob said to his son who soon stopped jumping and apologized to his mommy. Kongpob smiled and ruffles the little boy's hair and kissed his forehead.

******

The doorbell rang and Aroon soon rushed towards the door leaving his mommy who just laughed seeing his son. Aroon opened the door expecting that it would be his favorite persons.

"Happy birthday little brother" both Chai and Nai shouted as the door opened.

Aroon jumped in happiness seeing the big gift boxes in his friend's parent's and other members' hand. All of Arthit's and Kongpob's friends were there.

"Thankyou P'Chai and P'Nai." The three of them hugged each other and rushed inside the house leaving their parents outside. Kongpob went towards the door and welcomes his friends and seniors who were there.

"How is the preparation going on Kong?" May asked her friend.

Kongpob smiled widely "Everything is ready. Let all the guest come and then the party will begin. We have kept the decorations as a surprise for Aroon, can't wait to see his reaction!!" Kongpob explained enthusiastically. All their friends could see how happy and loving Kongpob and Arthit is towards their son. They are like they would bring the moon of their son ask for it. "And where is Arthit? I didn't see him?" Bright asked his junior. "P'Arthit went to bring the ordered cake. He will arrive soon" Kongpob said to others.

It was a very beautiful moment all their friends were here with their children but the only Knott has come today since Liya is 8 months pregnant so she cannot travel.

"Make a wish Aroon!!" Tina announced through the mike. Aroon looked at his parents who nodded at him. Aroon closed his eyes and then opened it, he then blew the 6 candles on the cake which resulted in a big round of applause.

Aroon was so excited and started cutting his cake, he was in awe when he saw that it was his favorite chocolate cake. But he didn't eat the piece he had cut. He took the piece and first showed it to his mommy. Kongpob smiled at him and took the cake from the little hand. Kongpob showed the piece to Arthit who soon understood and broke half from Kongpob's hand. They both showed the piece of cake to Aroon who happily ate the cake. Kongpob smiled and took Aroon in his arms and kissed the boy.

"Happy birthday Aroon. Mommy love you so much" Kongpob said as a drop of tear fall from his eyes.

It was just like a miracle for them the moment Aroon was born to earth. Till now both Kongpob and Arthit is very happy that nothing came out wrong in any way. Aroon who saw his mommy's tears wiped it with his soft fingers.

"Why is mommy crying?" Aroon asked in a worried voice.

Kongpob laughed and looked at Arthit to reply for him. Arthit' smiled and caressed Aroon's forehead.

"Mommy is crying because he is very happy that our little Aroon is 7 years old now." Arthit' said and kissed the boy's cheeks.

"Aroon but don't go far okay. Come to eat the cake once you are finished" Kongpob said to his son before going back to the table where their parents and friends were sitting.

"Do you know Kong. Chai was all excited to come here for the party. He even scolded me for being 1 minute late" Wad said while chuckling. Kongpob laughed at his friend.

Kongpob looked at his P'Arthit who was smiling and nodded at him. Kongpob sighed and went towards the stage. Aroon jumped in excitement and hugged his mommy.

All the guests where silent. Kongpob looked at his son who was waiting eagerly to hear the song along with his friends. Kongpob took a deep breath and started singing with his melodious voice that never failed anyone to take attention over it. 

  You are my baby, but it's not up to me
What you become that is up to you
I hope you will be gentle, kind, compassionate and free
No matter what I'll always love you unconditionally
No matter what I'll always love you unconditionally

And I hope you will have a lot of adventures
I hope you won't feel too much pressure
To be somebody that you're not
I hope you know that happiness cannot be bought
I hope you know that happiness cannot be bought

And I hope when you are sad you won't be ashamed to cry
And I hope when you get mad you won't keep it all inside
I hope you know that feeling bad is a normal part of life
Still I hope you'll be happy most of the time
Yeah I hope you'll be happy most of the time

And I hope when you are tired you know it's ok to be lazy
You can sit around and daydream if you're feeling spacey
I hope you know that I'll still love you when I'm old and crazy
I love more than anything; you'll always be my baby
I love more than anything; you'll always be my baby

You are my baby, but it's not up to me
What you become that is up to you
I hope you will be gentle, kind, compassionate and free
No matter what I'll always love you unconditionally
No matter what I'll always love you unconditionally  

Kongpob finished the son looking at his son who was smiling widely.

 "Happy birthday my son. Mommy loves you a lot" Kongpob said and gave him a flying kiss which Aroon caught it with both hands and returned the kiss. Everyone clapped their hands while Kongpob moved out of the stage.

"Wow!!!0062!!! last time we heard you sing was when you were a fresher man. You still have that same voice" Bright exclaimed in wonder. All of his friends appreciated him for the song. "The song was beautiful Kong," Arthit said to Kongpob's ears. Kongpob smiled at looked at Arthit who gave a quick peck on Kongpob's cheeks.

"Hey, you both!!! Remember that you have a son" Bright said pointing at Aroon who was playing with his friends. Arthit glared at Bright and threw a spoon at him.
