Chapter Twenty-Three: Phoenix Young

Jax's POV:
At some point in the night Ghost let me have control. I was healing nicely but Ghost needed to heal for awhile as well.

I gently cradled Theo in my arms, he was perfect and despite the fact he wasn't our son he looked just like me. Well apart from his eyes, I caught a glimpse of them and they were blue just like Lena's.

I stood up to stretch my legs trying to get Theo to go to sleep when my parents burst into the room.

"Oh would you look how cute he is, he looks just like you Jax."

I quickly hushed my mom, although I love her energy it was very overwhelmed especially with Theo in my arms.

"Sssshhhh mom, I'm trying to get him to go to sleep."

I whispered and her smile just grow, I looked at my dad who was shaking his head and looking up as if to say Goddess woman calm the hell down and I couldn't help but smirk.

"My baby had a little baby of his own. He's so perfect, what did you call him?"

I sigh so damn hyper at least I know now where Damon gets it from.

"Mom, will you please calm down. Ghost and I well actually I chose the name Phoenix, Theo for short."

I whispered looking down at Theo, he still wouldn't settle but I think he's a bit overwhelmed especially with mom's energy she looked like a child who ate too much candy and is now bouncing off the walls.

"Phoenix is a good strong name Jax, what made you pick that name?"

I looked at my dad, I knew he was trying to calm things down especially with all the hyper in the room.

"When I found him and Lena it's was a dark, cold and horrible place but he seemed to light up the room and atmosphere. Plus I've always like how Ace used the name Leo so Theo was the next best thing."

My dad gave me a smile and I looked back down at Theo he still hasn't settled down.

"Is he being fussy?"

I looked from my mom and sigh as I look at him again before looking back at her.

"No, I think he's just a little overwhelmed."

I didn't want to mention his lung problems if I could help it because I knew she would just panic, but I knew that was also coursing him some discomfort which is why he is having trouble sleeping as well.

"You do know he can't be the next Alpha or King right?"

Of course I knew that with him not being my flesh and blood but I don't care he is my son, mine and Lena's.

"I know mom but he couldn't even if I wanted him to be my heir."

They both looked at me with curious eyes and scanned over Theo wondering what I was talking about.

"He was a premature baby so his lungs aren't full developed so he couldn't be my heir even if I wanted him to and we shared the same blood but I don't care about that."

The whole reason I was Alpha and King was because of health issues.

Elijah had his lungs and Derek his heart and because I was the elder twin the title fell to me.

"Well at least you don't have to worry about him feeling left out because of his parentage, are you going to tell him about that when he's older?"

I looked at Theo he was finally settling down.

"I wouldn't treat him any different even if he didn't have any issue but as for parentage I'm not sure I have to talk to Lena about it but as far as I'm concerned he's my son and he doesn't need to know any different."

My dad nodded in understanding whilst my mom was thinking I swear you could see the cogs in her brain turning.

"Can I hold him?"

"No, no one holds him but us Jax. I don't want anyone else but us and Lena holding him."

Ghost it's just mom she's not going to run off with him.

"Is he being difficult again? It's alright Jaxon your father was just the same when Ace was born."

I roll my eyes I hate it when anyone calls me Jaxon.

"Mom it's Jax and yeah Ghost is being difficult. He doesn't want anyone to hold him but when the doctor had to check on Theo he was perfectly happy to let him hold Theo."

"The doctor was checking him over there is a difference!"

I sigh in defeat and my mom just chuckled, why do you have to be so difficult Ghost.

"Your father was just the same so over protective and I'm your mother I can call you Jaxon if I wish. I carried you and your sister for a long time plus I named you Jaxon Oliver Young."

Ghost let mom hold Theo for just a few minutes please, I promise we'll have him back in five minutes okay.

"Fine but I'm watching."

I rolled my eyes and gently and carefully handed Theo over to my mom, who stared to gently rock him in her arms.

"You know why he's so over protective, it because Lena isn't awake to be the big old mama wolf so Ghost is going into over drive in being a father. It doesn't help that he is over protective anyway."

It makes sense but it doesn't explain why Cole wasn't like this.

"What about Cole he didn't go over protective father wolf on us when we saw the pups."

My mom just smiled as she gently kissed Theo's forehead.

"That was different dear Cole had Ace by his side, he also has sixteen pups whereas you only have Phoenix."

She whispered as she calmly handed Theo back over into my arms. He slowly took a hold of my fingers in his sleep and my smile grow even bigger, he's perfect.

"When will Lena wake up Jax?"

I look at my dad, before walking slowly over to where he was now sitting and placed Theo in his arms.

"I'm not sure she's on strong pain killers and the doc gave her something to help the healing process so she could wake up tomorrow or in a little while."

I walked over to my mate and placed a kiss on her forehead. She's so beautiful.

"Jax I think he wants you."

I look over to see Theo shifting in his sleep, he did the same when mom was rocking him and when the doctor was checking him over.

"I think he likes you Jax, pups usually get attached to one parent and I guess he is attached to you. You've grown up so fast, I still can't believe my baby has a baby."

I rolled my eyes and kissed Phoenix's head, before I whispered.

"I love you Phoenix."
