Chapter 12

**Stella's POV**

I got inside my house angry as Hunter followed behind me. I texted Matt in the car telling him what happened. I turned around and glared at him as he closed the door.

"How could you do this?". I hissed trying not to yell at him. "Do you know how bad I feel for leaving Matt there?". I snapped.

"He's a big boy. He can take care of himself". He sighed and I fought the urge to slap him again.

Or shoot him.

"MOOOMMMYY!" I heard Jason cry making my eyes widen as I ran up the stairs. 

I quickly walked in his room to see Laura with the phone in her hands and Jason crying. I panicked and ran up to him.

"My baby". I said pulling him on my laps and hugging him. "What's wrong? Are you hurt?". I asked examining him. "Did something happened?". I asked looking at Laura.

"He was sleeping then he woke up crying and calling for you. I was about to call you when you walked in". She explained and I nodded.

"Is something wrong baby?". I asked and he buried his face on my chest sniffing. 

"You said you weren't going to be long?". He cried against my chest. I sighed and hugged him tighter.

"I'm sorry baby". I said as Hunter sat beside me touching his hair.

Jason lifted his head up a little and wiped his tears. "Were you with Daddy?". He asked and I nodded.

Hunter smiled down at him and took his out of my arms."Now. My big boy shouldn't be crying like that". He said softly walking toward the door as Jason put his head on Hunter's shoulder.

I sighed and looked at Laura. "I'm sorry about that. Thank you. You can go home now. Take the day off tomorrow, he is not going to school. I'll take care of everything". I said and She nodded before walking out.

I took my heels off and sighed before walking back downstairs. I heard Hunter and Jason talk in the kitchen so I didn't walk in and listened to their conservation.

"Why she wasn't with Uncle Matt?". Jason asked.

"She was with him but she left with me". I Heard Hunter say and I sighed.

"You were mad because of uncle Matt right?". Jason said making my eyes widen and Hunter chuckled. "I told her you were not going to be happy". He said and my eyes widened.

"You did?". Hunter asked as I could hear amusement in his voice.

"Yes". Jason said as I walked back to the stairs and make noises making it seem like I just walked down. "Sshhhh. She's coming". I Heard his tiny voice as Hunter chuckled at him again. 

I walked in the kitchen to see Jason sitting on the counter with his legs crossed eating cookies and Hunter sitting on a stool close to him.

They both looked at me. I raised an eyebrow.

"What were you talking about?". I asked opening the fridge to get some Milk for Jason.

"You". They said at the same time with blank faces. I looked at them weirdly.

Jason acts and looks just like Hunter. It is so scary. That's one of the reason I was always thinking about him while looking at Jason. One of the reasons I never forgot about Hunter.

"Okay then". I said giving the glass full of milk to Jason who took it thanking me and started drinking everything.

"You need to go back to bed". I said looking at Jason and he pouted.

"Mommy please. I don't have school tomorrow and I am not sleepy". He pouted. "Please. Mommy". He said cutely putting his hand on my cheek like every time he beg me for something. But it won't work this time.

"No". I said sternly. "To bed now". I said and he pouted even more and crossed his arms over his chest. "Say goodnight to daddy". I said and he uncrossed his arm.

"Goodnight daddy". He said moving closer to him and Hunter kissed his forehead and picked him up. 

"Goodnight". He replied softly. I took him in my arms and walked out of the kitchen.

*******

"You could have left him a little longer". Hunter smiled turning around.

I rolled my eyes.

"You can go now". I said walking to the kitchen to turn the lights off.

I felt him behind me before he pulls me closer. "Are you still mad about earlier?" He asked and I pushed him off but he didn't let me. 

"Leave". I snapped pushing him off. "And stop touching me". 

"I'm sorry. I was just angry a...". He started but I cut him off. 

"And you have no right to be". I said. "What if Matt wasn't gay, unh?". I said and his his expression harden.

"What would happen? You would kiss me. And think You have some crazy claim on me". I snapped and walked closer to me.

"I love you. I want you in my life and no one will come between us". He said pulling me closer to him. "If the guy wasn't gay then it would have just been bad for him". He said hardly. "I'm selfish when it comes to you. I have always been and you know it. Don't think it has changed. I'm the same man". He said as my heart started beating faster. "I'm not leaving you to anyone. You're mine alone". He said lowly against my ear as I shivered.

I pushed him away and glared at him. 

"Just leave". I said. "Please just leave". 

He stood there staring at me for a moment before sighing.

"I'll call you guys tomorrow". He said softly. He walked up to me putting his finger under my chin lifting my head up. "You and Jason are all that matters to me". He said before kissing my cheek softly and walking out of the door.
