Playboy has a son

Chapter 4 - Daddy is my hero

Nikolai Martelli

POV

It was Monday morning... And that darn good for nothing teachers words rang in my mind... And refused to go away.

[Don't be ridiculous you couldn't be with one woman Eben if you tried, woman are just toys you throw away after you done with them]

[What about Micah's mother? You dump her once you were done with her? Micah was just accident...]

Those words made me feel unloved, hurt and made me feel that I grow old alone... I had no one, I was destined to be alone, destined not to be loved, destined to love the wrong woman, woman who would never love me back, Aurora had Quinn, Isabella loved money more than she ever loved me...

"Papa" I heard Micah call for me...

You see that boy, he is reason ill never be alone, he is my saving grace, that little boy is the only thing keeping me on the right track. Micah might have been born unplanned and out of wedlock but my damn son is not an accident... He was the person I loved most in this cruel world... The world had especially been cruel to my little boy...

"Kitchen Micah"

I had stopped out Italian lessons as punishment for making a fool out of his teacher... Even though she's no longer his teacher after a long conversation with Natalia...

I heard Micah run into the kitchen

"Papa papa"

I paused and turned to him... Giving him my full attention...

"Papa Lisa said Miki" (Mike Key) it sounded weird... But Alyssa refused to say Micah which I found hilarious, I think she's just messing with him because Alyssa could pronounce things well enough for you to know what she's saying... Micah had been trying to teach her to say his name for months and nothing... This is the closest she's gotten I can understand his excitement, the only thing his gotten out of her for months was 'mmm' to be honest I doubt she was even trying... The one thing I loved about Micah was that he never gave up and he never lost his patience with her... He would teach her diligently and patiently... Micah loved teaching her about what his learnt at school and his been teaching her how to colour that was a messy task, we had to repaint walls, she had decided the paper wasn't good enough and started drawing on the white walls. Alyssa has been banned from colouring for a while, she was just being artistic...

"Micah why don't you give her an easier nickname for her to call you in the meantime"

He slowly nodded, he brought his finger to his chin and gave a serious thinking face... I went to finish packing his lunch, Milo loves peanut butter crackers so I made him that every morning for lunch... I started with his and Alyssa's breakfast which was cocoa pops cereal they loved chocolate flavoured things... It's a Martelli thing, only problem was I didn't eat chocolate. I was the only Martelli who hated chocolates and cake...

"Okay she can call me Max mommy used to call me Max" He said excitedly...

I paused, I vaguely remember Bella calling him Max two years ago...

"Why did mommy call you Max?"

"She said I remind her of her doggie she owned as a baby..." Isabella refered to my son as a dog???

I was pissed off...

"Micah go wash your hands please, you'll eat soon..." he walked out of the kitchen

I wasn't angry with Micah, I would never be... But Isabella referring to my son, my boy who is my pride and joy as a dog... That just ticked me off...

"Niki!" a loud squeal behind me... I knew it was Alyssa

"Princess" I say with the same enthusiasm she had

I turned and picked her up, I put her in her high chair, while I finished their cereal...

"Thanks Niki" Quinn says walking in...

I nod...

This was every morning for us, we would let Rory sleep in and we would get the kids ready, we'd go to work and she'd take them to school, she wouldn't drive, we had a driver for that... No body should trust Rory behind the wheel, in her hands its a death trap.

Micah walked in and Quinn got him in his chair... I gave the kids their cereal...

Quinn and I were leaning against the cupboards on the opposite side watching them eat, on thing the kids got from Quinn and I was our love for food, they could eat in silence and they'll eat whatever is put in front of them... Even Aurora's failed attempts at cooking... My mom and dad had taught both Quinn and I to cook so it would be between the two of us to cook supper... It was never anything special, it was mostly pasta, curry's, and stews...

Rory had other qualities though, she always made sure the kids are safe and when Micah first came here, she used to stay up with him, until we realized he sleeps through the night with me... I've been meaning to look into therapy for my boy... I need him to get better... I love seeing the smile on his face...

"How's Micah doing?" Quinn asked

"Nothings changed" I say watching Alyssa look through the holes in her pops before putting it in her mouth... I was keeping in my laugh... She was the cutest little princess

"You look into therapy?"

"I've got appointments with the top child therapist this week, hopefully one of them is good enough for Micah..."

Quinn nods...

"Lyssa honey stop doing that, it doesn't go to your eye first, it goes straight to your mouth" Quinn says

I have no idea why he tries, he tells her every morning and she does the same thing every morning, there's no doubt she does it on purpose... There's no way she doesn't understand what he means...

"You think these kids would be fat when they grow up?" Quinn asks as we watch them lick their bowls...

"Nah, Alyssa would lose this weight at 10 like her mom, she'll be an exact copy of her mother..."

"Don't remind me" Quinn groans

And I chuckle... Knowing he doesn't want guys around his little girl, not all men are sweet like he is...

He gave the kids their milk and came to stand next to me...

"Micah told me something about his mom today..." I said in a hush tone

Quinn leaned in to me and looked at me

"She used to call him Max, I asked why and he said because he reminds her of her dog from when she was a kid"

"What the fu-fugding he-help!"

I know I'm supposed to be serious right now but, Quinn trying to swear and having to stop because of the kids is hilarious...

I didn't answer him, I got Alyssa out of her chair and wiped her hands off with a wet wipe, I gave her to her dad so he could dress her for the day, even though she looked cute in her pink onesie with a cute silver crown on... It was a gift from a fan, Quinn and Aurora had sent the fan pictures of her in it... People love Alyssa and her saying or trying to say their names when they thank them for the gifts are the cutest...

I got Micah out of his chair, Micah eats with a spoon so his hands aren't dirty, but I still wipe his hands...

I carried him up to his room, which we now use and a playroom for the kids... His clothes and bed is still in here... I dressed Micah which was a pair of blue jeans a navy top and navy sneakers... I was busy putting his jacket in his bag when Micah called me

"Daddy..." I turned he rarely called me daddy he always called me papa on some occasions he would say daddy when he wanted something...

"Yes?"

He was playing with his fingers, he was scared of asking me...

"I have clothes, like daddy's work clothes?"

I look at him confused...

"A suit Micah?" I ask

He nods

"Do you want one?"

He nods again

"Teacher Taylor said we must dress like our favourite superhero on Friday, and I want to dress like my daddy, because daddy is my hero"

You see there that, that what just came out of the my sons mouth are reasons for me to live, I literally had tears in my eyes, my son thinks of me as a superhero... My heart swell up with joy and love for this boy...

"I'll get you a suit like daddy's okay? Then you can match daddy and we could take a picture and you could put the picture up in your room okay?" Micah nods happily I put his bag down and pick him up and swing him around...

"Why isn't superman or spiderman your favorite superhero?"

"Because they not real, and my daddy is real, you keep the bad dreams away..."

That broke my heart... I made a vow to get him a therapist this week so he could start therapy next week...

"Micah can daddy take you to see someone, someone you can talk to, that person will help you get rid of the bad dreams okay?"

Micah nods... I know his only saying yes because I asked him to...

I let Micah play with Alyssa while I go shower, Aurora should be up by now...

I got in a faded navy top, with a blue Jean, and navy Nikes... I grabbed a denim jacket as well... I had no meetings today so I was free to wear anything I wanted...

I said bye to my family and left... I took my Audi RS7 to work today...

When I got to the office, I parked right up front... I give the keys to Ben one of the security guards, he always parks my car at the back... I walk up to the front doors, and Bobby another security guard opens the doors for me...

"Bobby how's the wife?"

"She's good we found out we having a girl yesterday"

"Congratulations..."

I give him a hug...

I knew all my staff by name not because we were a small company but because when I hired them I made sure to have a personal connection with each of them, like Ben has two daughters, his wife passed away three years ago so I let him work half day to fetch his kids from school, obviously I give him full pay...

It made me feel good, because if I didn't have Aurora I would need to do the same with Micah fetching him from school...

I noticed a new woman at the Receptionist desk...

I walked passed reminding myself to ask questions later...

When I got to my office on the fifth floor... I walked pass

Martinique my assistants desk..

"Sir you had two calls from a Hillside preschool..."

I paused...

I haven't let the media or my employees know about Micah not because I'm ashamed of my son but because Micah is not ready for the spotlight, he hates attention if its not from me... Shoot that reminds me of the suit...

"What did they say?" I ask

"They said a boy named Micah is throwing a fit because his not in his favourite teachers class and asking for his father..."

I nod...

"Martinique I'll handle it, I need you to find out if Armani makes suits for kids? I need a navy full suit, but one for a 4-5 year old kid as well... I need a matching suit by Friday..."

She looked at me confused... And I raised my brow at her

"Y-yes sir right away"

I turned around, I needed to go get my son...

"Ill be back in an hour if anyone comes to see me tell them I'm in a meeting"

"Yes sir"

I walked into the elevator and waited for it to go to the ground floor... Once the doors open... I walk out and then boom the last person I wanted to see is standing that the reception desk, looking straight at me...

MADISON TAYLOR the woman my son is crying for...
