Chapter 1113: Side story: dance with your baby
"Jedrek where are you?!" Lilac shouted for the king, as she was frustrated. She had been looking for Jedrek and their baby for more than twenty minutes now, but in this castle like house, it was impossible for her to find them. "We don't have time to play hide and seek! We will be late!"
Lilac's voice echoed through the walls, while the sun was shining through the glass windows lengthened the shadow of things that it went through and gave out a dreamy sight.
"Where is Jedrek?" Furiously, Lilac asked the first servant that she met on her way to the back yard. Damn! This house was so big! She was tired already.
"I don't know my queen, the king has disappeared since an hour ago," she said warily, afraid of being on the receiving end of Lilac's wrath.
This was one of the things that she didn't like. She had told them to not address her that way, but they simply wouldn't listen to her. Actually, all of this was mostly Jedrek's fault.
"Lie," Lilac said coldly. There was no way they didn't know Jedrek's whereabouts. There were a lot of methods they could use to find him.
They could sniff around for his scent or their baby's, or even mind- link the king directly.
The young servant was startled. She lowered her head, hiding the troubled look on her face. Apparently, she was not a good liar.
"So, where is he?" Lilac moved closer to impose more pressure on her. She didn't want to do this, but she had no other choice, or else they would be late.
And one should know that receiving Jedrek's wrath was much better than Lilac's.
==============
"No, Lilac, we don't need to go," Jedrek insisted, he held baby Micah close to him, as if Lilac was an enemy, who would steal his dearest son.
"Stop being a child Jedrek, everyone go there!" Lilac braced her hands on her waist. She was trying her best not to raise her voice because Micah was watching them closely, but it was a hard thing to do.
"My son doesn't need to go there," Jedrek was stubborn, he didn't want to agree with her.
"We have agreed on this," Lilac reminded him and took a step forward to take Micah from Jedrek when the baby smiled brightly and stretched out his stubby hands toward her. He got his father's eyes and Lilac loved them.
"No, I didn't agree with you, it was just your assumption." Jedrek took a step back and hid Micah from Lilac. "No, son. Your mama is not in her right mind now. You are safer with me honey."
Lilac rolled her eyes. She didn't even remember, since when Jedrek started being such a melodramatic father like this.
Oh, wait. Lilac knew it, this all started the first time Jedrek carried Micah in his arms and then refused to put him down no matter what. The baby mesmerized him to an alarming state.
Jedrek often disappeared in the middle of the night and she would find him in the baby's room, staring at the sleeping Micah because he was afraid something bad might happen to him since he was left all alone.
Please… the baby was just sleeping, not left alone…
Lilac didn't know that Jedrek had this cute side to him. It had indeed been fun to see him being like that at first, but when he decided to move the crib to their room and only left Micah's side when he needed to be fed, it became annoying.
Well, he was being annoying every moment of the day recently.
"I don't want to hear your excuses. I will wait for you in the car and if you don't come with Micah within five minutes, I will never talk to you." After saying this, Lilac walked away.
This was the only method that worked…
==============
Since baby Micah was only eight months old, Lilac thought it would be a great idea to bring him to a toddler school. So that, he could interact with other babies and find activities outside of their home. Also to introduce him to the outside world.
However, neither Jedrek nor Micah enjoyed this arrangement, both of them had the same stoic expression and Lilac couldn't stop herself and took a picture of them.
"I told you that our baby is too smart for this." Jedrek flicked a wooden block in front of him, as it fell down.
"No, it is you, who gave a negative vibe," Lilac scolded Jedrek and put Micah on her lap, while the other parents around them talked to their baby and played with wooden blocks, or any plaything around them.
"Lilac, this place is ridiculous, Micah hasn't even smiled once since we entered this place," Jedrek pointed out.
"It is because he is surprised with his new surroundings, once he gets used to this, he will be more active," Lilac replied, trying to make Micah put a wooden block atop of the others, but the baby threw it away with a bored expression.
"I told you, he doesn't like being here." Jedrek smirked and took Micah into his lap again. "He likes to play with me."
If Jedrek thought playing with those toys was bad, then he had not yet seen the worse and it happened when the instructor or the teacher asked them all to stand up and she started to wiggle her hips from left to right energetically.
Both Jedrek and Micah looked bored, and Lilac couldn't believe an eight months old baby could manage to pull such an expression.
"Okay, dance with your baby!" The teacher shouted happily and all the parents stood up, carrying their child as they shook their body mimicking the teacher's actions.
"Ridiculous," Jedrek grumbled. "You will not ask me to do that stupid move, will you?"
"Come on Jedrek, this is fun!" Lilac stood up and tried to make the bad king stand up too while urging him to step to this weird dance number.
"I will not do this Lilac!" That was what he said, but five minutes later the king should admit that he had no power against his queen.
During this session, both Jedrek and Micah had grumpy faces. Like father, like son.
