No One's P.O.V

Jess stood up excitedly as soon as she saw her son. She waved her hand in the air with a huge grin on her face, "Tordy!! Here!" she called. Tord and Tom whipped their heads towards the family's direction.

The two talked to each other for a moment, like they had a plan before they started walking to them.

Meanwhile Porter was trying to pull his wife down to sit her back on her seat.

"Hon, you're embarrassing us.." Porter whispered to his wife. Jess pouted and sat on her chair with a sulky expression.

"No fair. Oliver can be childish as he wants to be." Jess hissed back. Oliver tilted his head when he heard his name being called. He looks up to his mother before exchanging glances with his Father.

"He is a child, Honey." Porter reminded his wife who was still not turning to face him.

"I can be childish as I want to be! I'm getting older as it is! At least I have to live my life like I'm still free as a child!" Jess defended before crossing her arms across her chest and huffed in a sulky way.

Porter shook his head as he glanced up to Tord and Tom walking over. He and the two shared a long stare while they were getting near. Tord and Tom was soon in front of their table.

Standing quietly as they stared at Tord's father. Porter on the other hand was giving his wife hand signals but the woman kept on pouting. In a few failed attempts Porter decided on giving Oliver hand signals.

He was relieved that the child did as told and looked up to the other two. A smile grew on the child's face, "BIG BROTHER! TOMTOM!!" Oliver called out before launching up to his big brother's embrace.

Tord gladly hugged the child back with a smile on his face while Tom was watching them from behind. Silently loving the view.

Jess finally looked up to the two, her eyes filled with tears as she grinned, "Oh My.. You've grown."

Porter side-eyed his wife before he straightened his posture because of the look Tom was giving him. He knew Tom wasn't fond of him anymore. He can tell from the aura the brit was giving off.

Tord soon pulled away from the hug and looked at his brother with a smile, "You've grown! But... Still short for a 10 year old.." Tord teased earning a light punch from Oliver.

"I've grown at least 4 inches since the last time you saw me!" The child defended, Tord chuckled at his reponse.

"Also! Why did you leave so suddenly big brother? It's just like... One day you were like.. Pow! Gone!" Oliver explained while adding explosion gestures as he spoke.

This made Tord pause and glance at his father. His smile disappeared. Be wasn't really happy to see Porter anymore. But his smile returned back on his face when he turned to Oliver again.

"Well... I had to go overseas to work. That's why I left." Tord lied. Tom slightly elbowed Tord from behind. He was telling Tord that it was bad to lie to a child.

Oliver's mouth shaped an 'o' as he finally understood his brother's situation, "Ooh!! That's why you have a big scar on this side of your face! You got it from work?" Oliver replied as he touched his brother's scarred face.

Tord took off the child's hand gently and smiled once again, "Yeah..."

Porter and Jess glanced at each other as they only noticed the scars just then. On the other hand, Tord and Tom was also surprised that the child was able to tell that he had a scar.

They covered it with a concealer earlier...

"Anywhoo... I'm surprised that you still remember me after all these years!" Tord praised as he bumps his forehead onto his brother's.

"My memory is strong big brother! My math teacher told me that!" Oliver said as he fist pumped the air. Tord laughed at his bother's adorableness before glancing at Tom.

He turned his body to face the brit and pointed at him, "How about him? Do you still remember him?" Tord asked as he gestured at Tom.

Oliver looked at Tom and smiled widely, "It's TomTom! Your best friend!!" the child said happily. This made Jess cover her mouth to prevent herself from laughing while Porter crossed his arms and held his smile in.

Tord and Tom glanced at each other, blushes spread across their faces. It was very much visible but not to the child.

Tom slowly rose his hand to the child and smiled, "Hey Oliver. No time no see.. Although you still kept calling me 'TomTom'." he greeted before Oliver shook his hand.

"Hello, TomTom! Please don't suddenly disappear with my brother again!" Oliver said before he told Tord that he wanted to be seated back down to his seat.

Tord slowly lowered Oliver down to his seat before he took a chair for Tom and for himself to sit on.

Jess squealed and clapped her hands together, "I'M OVERJOYED TO SEE YOU BOTH HERE TONIGHT! I apologize for the bother Thomas." She said as she bowed respectively at Tom.

Tom shook his head and rose his hands up to stop the woman from her act, "Please, really.. It's not a bother--"

"Yeah, you guys were and ARE a bother." Tord interrupted.

Suddenly a force was slammed on to the table making some of the people in the diner to turn and look at what's happening on their table.

Jess had Tord's head slammed on to the table's cold wooden surface. Tom was about to reach for Tord's aid when Tord's mother shook her head. She was still smiling...

"Did you think I forgot the way you spoke to me while on the phone?" Jess hissed at Tord. Porter shrugged at this and just apologized to the other costumers.

Tom's smile turned into a frown as he looked down to Tord, "Don't tell me you've also disrespected your own Mother."

Tord struggled to raise his head up to Tom, "I- I--just said-- I th--ought sh-e was de--ad beca--"

Tord's head was slammed back down to the table as Jess stole Tom's attention with a 'saddened'expression, "Yes he did Thomas. I can't believe my own child would have the will to disrespect~" she acted hurted.

Tom's inner 'older' self suddenly fired up and it made him grit his teeth.

"TORD.."

While this was happening, none of them other than Porter and Oliver noticed the people whispering all around them. Thinking if they should call the cops.

"Hon. That's enough." Porter ordered before he turned to the costumers once again and assured them that they were just having a 'family quality time'. Then the costumers hesitantly turned back to their business.

Jess finally let her grip go and turned back to Tom,

"Sooo how is your relationship?? Anyyyyyyy updatesss?? Liiiiiikkkeeeee LEVELING UP?" Jess cooed as she slowly leaned closer to the brit with a ':3' face. Tom was leaning back slowly as he started blushing and stuttering.

"I-- well.." he stuttered. Porter was holding back his jealousy at this point. He just knew how much clingy his wife can get. He hates it.

"Hon, Will you stop making Thomas feel uncomfortable--"

"We've already broke up 3 years ago." Tord interrupted as he blocked his mother's face from Tom by his hand.

Jess straightened her pose. She looked at her husband and they paused for a second before their brains was able to process what their son had said.

"What?!" Tord's parents shouted in unison making Tom and Oliver jolt up in surprise before they were scolded by the people around them by shushing. The two apologized quickly before turning back to Tord and Tom.

"Thomas. Is he being serious right now or.. He's just being an asshole?" Jess asked as she leans closer at Tom again.

Tom glanced at Tord before closing his eyes, "Tord broke up with me 3 years ago Mrs. Livingston. We're sorry we didn't tell you--"

"WHAT?!"
