Despite all that was going on, Scarlet found ti to go through Justin’s ho work with him.
It was day one and already the teachers had started their duties. Justin had reading and chanics one. Reading was Scarlet’s forte but chanics was not.
Mother and son were both struggling, staring at the howork as if it was an alien language. Wasn’t this too difficult for children his age?
Why would they give the children howork which they are unfamiliar with? she complained in her heart. Now, she looked completely stupid in front of her son.
"You have to do this with your father, mommy has a headache" she told him.
"Father is going away tomorrow, who will I do it with after? Teacher Penny also said that we must build modules from nanite fiber and old cha materials to create a workable load carrying cha or robot butler. It’s a two month project that must be presented before the term ends on academic exhibition day."
Huh, he sighed pitifully and asked, "Mother, will I still have ti to play?"
She laughed at his plight and hugged him. "We will make a schedule so that you can balance school, training, play ti and gas. I will ask the maids to clear up a room for your project."
From where he was sitting in his usual corner, Tion raised his voice and said, "I can help governor, Eden, my son has the sa project."
"Great, they can work together in that case. Bring Eden to the assigned work room when it’s ti. I will also ask my brothers to help when you are not around and my sister Carol, she understands chas more than most of us."
For a short while, Scarlet and Justin stared at the howork with similar frowns on their faces, both still very much confused.
In this mont, they looked very much like mother and son as Justin mirrored her expression perfectly.
She decided to visit star net to figure out the answers.
During her search, Adler suddenly paid a visit and when he peeped at the work and looked at his sister and nephew, he broke into booming laughter.
Scarlet pursed her lips and glared at him.
"Now this brings back mories." He pulled out a chair next to Justin, sat down and said.
"You my dear sister almost crying through chanics and mother yelling at you about how simple it was but you just refused to learn."
"I still don’t understand it." Scarlet mumbled. "Brother, I am worried that Justin inherited so of my intelligence."
"You are intelligent Scarlet, chanics just isn’t, ..uhm.., your cup of tea. You excelled where you ant to excel. If we were all good at chanics then everyone would be a cha crafter. If that happened, the world would be very much imbalanced. I have got the the little man, go do sothing else, I will teach him." Her brother carried Justin and all of his school supplies went into his space bracelet.
"Where are you going with my baby?" She asked him.
"Sowhere he can learn from without sighing every five seconds like he is doing. I am taking him to my place." Adler told her.
"Is he sleeping over?" She asked him.
"Yes, send our dinner to the library though. Three portions, Arya will be with us." Adler placed Justin on his shoulders as he said this.
The little one clapped and his spirit returned as if it had temporarily left but been recalled.
"Are you taking my son on your date?" She asked Adler.
He had been hanging out with Arya so much that everyone presud they were dating. Why else would they be spending almost every evening together.
"A study date." Adler told her.
"A date is a date." Scarlet replied.
"Goodnight nosy sister of mine." He left before she could start asking more questions about Arya.
If he stayed much longer he could end up spilling his guts to her just as he had done before.
"Goodnight mommy." Justin waved.
"Mm, night baby." She blew him kisses until he disappeared from her sight completely.
"You can all go now." She told the two maids who were in stand by in the living room.
When they left, she looked at Tion and told him to go ho as well. He had a son, and that ant Eden had howork too.
"From now on, unless it’s necessary you should be with your son at this ti. Children are very sensitive about so things so you should spend as much ti with him as possible. I am also giving you the weekend off, take him to the park."
He left and she remained all alone in the living room. Her hands went to her belly imdiately and she rubbed it.
"Sweeties, can you hear ?" She asked softly. "I am your mum, whatever you do, hang in there with everything it takes.
Mum, will also do everything out here to make sure that you live."
Unsure if she imagined it, Scarlet felt so warmth in her belly, a smooth kind of warmth that felt good.
"Is that you?" She asked.
Then she laughed, after a minute of feeling nothing. I probably imagined that, she thought.
She went into her bedroom, took off her clothes and stood in front of a mirror, naked from head to toe and she looked at her stomach.
She rubbed it, stuck it out and did all sorts of funny positions to get it to protrude
Nothing worked of course, and it remained as flat as a surface.
"Am I really pregnant?" She asked herself.
She didn’t look pregnant and she certainly didn’t look it. It was possible that maybe the gods were toying with her. Severus said it often, you could not trust a deity one hundred percent, they always had loop holes, double anings and deceit in their words and actions.
Perhaps I should search the forum for inform on natural born reapers and see what I can find out. If she could talk to a natural born reaper then a few things might be cleared up.
The problem was, there were thousands of reapers in the underworld and nobody wore a tag that said natural born or created after death.
The bedroom door opened and eyes darted away from the forum which she had just opened. She saw Esong coming in, and he was a in a good mood.
His hands were in his pockets, he was whistling and looking at her with lust in his eyes.
"Damn, my whole world just opened up." he said. "I should surprise you more often."
He started walking toward her slowly, his eyes on her like a hunter who had just spotted the fattest sheep in the flock.
At level four, Scarlet could sll even the lightest and deepest of scents and she could definitely sll his pheromones. Even before reaching her, he was already aroused.
He reached her and lowered his hands, putting them both around her waist. He walked her backwards slowly, towards the wall. Then he dipped his head in her neck and drew in a deep breath.
"I thought that my good day had turned bad because of that fire but I was so wrong. How long have you been here, naked, and waiting for ?"
He asked in a deep husky voice that did unexpected things to her body.
