Attracted By My Ex-wife

Eddy rested his hands gently on Kevin's shoulders and smiled sweetly at him. His eyes curved into two crescent moons. Finally, he was close to Kevin.

"Yes, I'm happy, Dad. Could we come here more often?" Eddy asked with a glimpse of hope in his eyes. After months of practicing the art of persuasion, this young but clever boy had become much more honey-tongued.

Kevin didn't say a word, nevertheless he was very proud of his son. Eddy had proved he was extremely smart because, after all, he had inherited the excellent genes of his father!

"I'm afraid not," said Kevin with certainty. Although he really wanted to meet his child's request, he still had to put his foot down.

Eddy's lower lip protruded in an unhappy pout. With a pitiful look in his eyes, he couldn't believe his dad's refusal. Kevin laid his hand on the little boy's head and stroked his soft hair.

"Eddy, it's not convenient for Mommy to come out yet. How about we wait until your younger brother is born and mom is well enough? Is that okay for you?" Kevin said and waited eagerly for a response.

As expected, his words attracted Eddy's complete attention. "Dad, what is a younger brother?" The child had a puzzled look on his face.

Anne gave him a quizzical glance. She was speechless to say the least. Indeed, he was a very curious young fellow. 'What is a younger brother? How could I answer such a simple yet difficult question?' Anne found herself once again at a loss for words.

"Eddy, a younger brother is a boy who looks like you, but who is younger than you," Kevin explained easily without caring if he could understand him or not.

The curious little boy took a look around the room, as if he were searching for something in particular. Anne couldn't resist herself. "Eddy, what are you doing?"

He scratched his head with his hand and that made him seem so cute. He exclaimed, "I'm looking for my brother!"

She was left dumbfounded. Anne heard him ask once again, "Where is my brother?"

Kevin pointed at her belly in response to his child's question. Eddy felt confused by this. "Are you saying my brother is in Mom's belly? How can he come out then?"

Eddy began to weep. Distraught by the whole situation, he failed to stop the big teardrops from streaming down his face. It was quite evident this was all for the sake of his poor brother.

Kevin and Anne couldn't believe their eyes. It was unfathomable. Without a doubt, kids were such trouble.

"Your brother got lost in Mom's belly," he sighed, "but don't worry, he'll find his way out." Kevin comforted him patiently. He patted his son on the back in order to show reassurance.

Having heard her partner's explanation, Anne couldn't utter a word. Kevin had such a way with words; it was quite amusing.

"Yes, I'm sure my brother will find his way out." Eddy nodded, wiping the last tears off his face. He didn't want to worry his dad any longer.

The young boy was finally reassured. However, Anne insisted in a cold voice, "Kevin, I've told you already. We are having a daughter!"

"Okay, okay, it's a girl. I'm sorry!" Kevin held her hand to help her calm down. Although deep inside he had an intuition that they were going to have a son, he couldn't comment on this, unless he wanted to upset his darling even more.
