Jax woke up to the sound of Benjamin stirring in the crib. Violet was still sound asleep so he quietly climbed out of bed and picked up the boy. He kept the boy’s head facing away from his mother so that he wouldn’t start crying and wake her up when he saw her.

“So, I heard a secret about you,” he said to the boy as he carried him down the stairs. “Benjamin? Really? What kind of name is that?”

Benjamin leaned forward with his mouth open and started sucking on Jax’s nose. The lion shifter laughed. “See? Beast suits you way better.”

He placed the little guy on the carpet and got his breakfast ready. “Peaches this morning,” Jax said as he slid him into his new high chair. No duct tape necessary. “And then a big surprise that I think you’ll like. In fact, you’ll love it. It’s sleeping upstairs.”

Beast, er… Benjamin, was a big fan of the peaches. He gobbled them down so fast that Jax opened up a second bottle.

Jax was swinging the spoon around in the middle of a peachy airplane ride when Violet ran down the stairs with a huge smile on her face. Benjamin kicked his legs and slapped the tray in excitement when he saw his mother, desperately trying to get to her. She ran up to him and yanked him out of the high chair, hugging him so tight that Jax had to check that the kid was still breathing. He was good.

After some tears from mommy and about a million kisses, she put him back in the chair and fed him the rest of the peaches. Jax got her a coffee and started making some French toast for her as the pair bonded once again.

“Where did you get all of this baby stuff?” she asked, looking from the high chair to the car seat that was lying on the floor.

“I bought it.”

“You bought it?” she asked, turning around and staring at him as he flipped the French toast. “Really?”

Jax shrugged. “What? Did you expect me to duct tape the kid to the chair or something?”

Violet laughed. “Oh, geez. Could you imagine?”

Jax cringed when she turned back around. “No,” he said, nervously. “I can’t.” Luckily, the only other person who knew about that wouldn’t be able to talk for another few years. Plus, Beast wouldn’t rat him out.

Jax cleaned up the kid and played with him on the carpet as Violet ate her French toast and watched. “You’re a real natural with children,” she said, smiling as she watched him.

“Me?” he asked, staring back at her in shock. “Not really. Can you believe that I can’t stand kids?”

“No,” she said, shaking her head. “I can’t believe that.”

“Well, I can’t.”

She laughed as she took the last sip of her coffee, looking gorgeous with her messy hair. “I think you two look like best buds.”

Jax smiled as he looked at the chubby little guy as he lifted his feet in the air, absolutely mesmerized with them. Maybe kids weren’t so bad.
