"You're not my daddy!"
Dakota shouts angrily, his little nose scrunched up in fury.
Jack’s heart rate rises, his fingers tightly gripping the steering wheel.He’s just a kid.He doesn’t know any better, — I explain.
Natalia probably never told him about us.This is all your fault! Jack snarls return.
If I had only taken control earlier, our son would know who his father is!
"Dakota," Jack says through a forced smile.
"Dakota, I am your daddy.Your mommy and I got married-"
"No!"
Dakota refuses, shaking his head with conviction.
"No, Zane is my daddy.Only daddies kiss mommies and Zane kisses mommy all the time and they play games like Horsey in the Desert and they sleep together even when mommy farts on the bed and makes it all stinky.And-and my daddy is a superhero fighting bad guys.I wanna be just like my daddy.Who in the f**k is Zane!? I snarl, Jack straining to control his anger.
Jack looks back at Dakota, a very tight smile on his lips as he asks through gritted teeth, "Who is Zane?"
"My daddy," Dakota snaps, tapping his thumb against his forehead.
"And who is your Daddy?" Jack asks, barely hanging on to his patience.
"Zane,"
Dakota huffs Knowing Jack is about to explode, I remind him that our son is only four to calm him down.
"Tell me more about Zane," he says with forced enthusiasm.
"No!"
Kota snaps, pulling his hands towards himself and bending his fingers.He then taps on his thumb to his forehead.
"I want my daddy! I want my daddy right now!’
"ZANE IS NOT YOUR DADDY! I AM!"
Jack roars.
"NOOOOO!"
Kota screams, kicking his legs and swinging his hands violently.
"ZANE IS MY DADDY."
"’M YOUR DADDY!"
Jack growls, his foot stepping on the gas pedal.
"He’s not your daddy! I am! I am your only daddy and you are going to stay with me forever! We are going to be the family we were meant to be and you are never going to see Zane again!"
"NO!"
Dakota says before suddenly howling at the top of his lungs.
"SHUT UP!"
Jack snarls but Dakota continues to howl with rage.
"My daddy is a wolf!,"
he cries.
"And he’s going to eat you! Having lost all of his patience, Jack pulls the car over down a secluded road, stepping out of the car and storming over to Kota’s side.”
He pulls at the car door but it appears Dakota has locked the door.
"Open the door!"
Jack snarls, Dakota wiping his nose and shaking his head.
"I’m going to count to three and you better f*****g open this door!"
Dakota bursts into tears once more and screeches at the top of his lungs as Jack counts down.
"One....
TWO..."
Before Jack gets to three, he unlocks the door with the car fob and slams it open, Dakota attempting to crawl away.
Enraged, Jack grabs him by the ankles and drags him back to the edge of the seat, flipping him over on his back.
