Chapter 30: A Day with Them IV
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56They watched a family drama and Caleb felt envious every time there were scenes of the happy family being portrayed in the movie. The family looked happy though there were problems that they experienced. It was a family that grows closer the more they were in a bind.
He looked at his father and he saw an expected expression on his face. It was a bored expression as if he was not convinced with what was happening in the movie.
Their family… was not a normal family. They were both aware of that. Unlike many other families, they were only related by blood. Family members do not share affection towards each other, especially the siblings. His grandfather was not close to his father’s uncle. His father did not like his uncle as well.
He knew that having a sibling was not fun so he was relieved that he did not have any. At least his father had no plans of giving him a younger sibling so he did not have to be hostile to someone younger than him.

“I want to be your son.”Bea was surprised when she heard Caleb whisper it on her ears. Did he even know what would happen if she becomes his mother? Of course, she would not do it. But even if her resolve was clear, she could not bring herself to tell him no.“Should I try the claw machine?” Bea asked Caleb. “Is there anything you want from there?”Caleb looked at the contents of the claw machine and he saw a fluffy teddy bear.“Can I have that one?” Caleb pointed at the panda.“Let’s see if I can get it.” Bea smiled as she put a token on the slot. She moved the crane carefully until it was aligned with the bear. She pressed the button then she saw the look of excitement in Caleb’s eyes when the claw grasped the bear. However, the bear dropped before it reached the prize slot.“Ow.” Caleb sounded disappointed.“Let’s try again.” Bea

“I’m done choosing the outfits.” Bea handed them the matching outfits that she chose for them. “Now, try this on. You two.”Callum and Caleb obediently went inside the fitting room to change outfits. Bea looked at the sales lady who was grinning widely while looking at her. What was her deal?“Did you see the smile on your husband’s face when you handed him the outfit that you chose for him?” the sales lady teased.“Did he smile?” Bea scoffed. Well, she saw him smile often since they went to the pool so it was not something new to her anymore.“And your son is so cute!” the sales lady added.She already said that earlier. She took her phone out and tried to browse the web while waiting for the two to finish changing.“We’re wearing matching outfits!” Caleb exclaimed as soon as he was out of the fitting room.Bea’s smile was ear to ear when

“Yes. We’re not done yet.”Bea looked at Caleb with confused eyes but she decided to just let it go. If there was something that they want to buy, then they could just go and buy it. She was just tagging along anyway.Caleb and Bea followed Callum’s lead and they found themselves entering a store for women’s clothing. Was he seeing someone? Well, that would be good if the woman would care for Caleb as if he was her own.“We’re going to tour around the store. You should tell me if you want something.” Callum carried his son and went on his way.If he was going to give something to the person he was seeing, should he not ask him for suggestions since she was also a woman? Or did he not trust her tastes and style?Bea rolled her eyes. Whatever. Since he told her to look around, then she would do it. It was not like she could not afford to buy some of her clothes.She walked towards a rack and look

She tried a few more clothes and she suddenly felt conscious about the cameras, Callum’s and Caleb’s phones, taking pictures of her.After trying on all the clothes, she went out with the last outfit and she noticed that it was a red cropped top sweater paired with a high waist gray plaid pants. The sales lady’s smile grew wide when she saw her last outfit and looked at the two.After taking pictures, Bea was about to go back to the fitting room to change back into her clothes but Callum walked towards her and stopped her.“We’re taking all of this… and she’ll be wearing this.” He took the price tag on her clothes and handed them to the saleslady.Though confused, Bea followed the others towards the cashier.“Why would you let me wear something that was supposed to be a gift to someone?” Bea asked Callum in a whisper.“What are you saying?” Callum asked without even loo

It was morning the next day and Bea was told to wait for Callum in front of the hotel. Since it would be the last day that she would be spending in the city, Callum wanted Caleb to spend time with her on the way and he was willing to be their driver for that day.“Did you wait long?” Callum asked as soon as Bea entered the car.“No.” Bea looked behind her and she saw Caleb on his car seat. “He’s asleep.”“Just let him. He was tired yesterday.” Callum started driving towards the studio while Bea kept her silence on the way.It really was the last day. It was the last shoot. Tomorrow, she would be on the bus home.She felt mixed emotions once more. Though it had been short, her experience with them was memorable. The city gave her something to smile and cry about. Despite the pain that she felt on her first day, the city gave her something to look back on.It was short-lived, but unforgetta

The eyes were back on them as soon as they were out from the dressing rooms. The staff looked at her and some gave her a teasing grin while the others gave her a jealous look.She looked at Callum and saw that he was back with his poker face as if it was his expression during work hours. Was he not getting tired from having such a blank expression?Even the photographer looked shocked that they had been close after just a week. But after a while, the photographer grinned and mumbled, “I think it would be easy taking the shots today.”“Are we all ready?” Margaret asked while her eyes roamed around checking whether everyone was around.One of the staff raised her hand. “The guests were still on the way. Should we start and just let the guests catch up?”“We still have time so we could wait for a little while.” Margaret looked at her wristwatch and sat on the side.The three walked on the side sin

The shoot went on and Bea noticed that though it was a little awkward sometimes, posing with Callum was a little easier compared to last time. Was it because she got closer to him for the last few days?“Can we have Caleb and Bea for the next few shots?” Margaret asked and Callum nodded as he walked towards the side. “Caleb, can you stand on the couch and hug Bea’s neck?”Caleb immediately obeyed and grinned as he hugged her. She hugged him back which made Margaret smile wide and cued for the photographer to take the shots. She was surprised when Caleb kissed her on the forehead and giggled after he did that.“That was perfect, Caleb!” Margaret seemed to be pleased by their adlibs.“I kissed you, you should kiss me on the cheeks too, Miss Bea!” The kid let out a playful laugh.“Sure.” Bea was about to kiss his cheeks but he laughed out loud as he tried to get away from her hold. &ldq

“Are you all right?” Callum asked as soon as they were inside the dressing room. He put Callum on his lap and the child seemed to notice the atmosphere so he just kept his silence.Bea nodded her head but her mind was still a mess. Just what the heck? Why would he even approach her? How dare he have the guts to face her after what she did?She looked away and sighed. “Can I go to my dressing room for a while?”She tried to act tough in front of Caleb since she did not want the child to see that side of her. She wanted to leave with only good memories. She also did not want a young boy worrying about her.Callum nodded and stood up. He put Caleb down on the chair and guided her outside the dressing room. He saw that the man was a few meters away from the door so he immediately blocked Bea’s view of him. The man glared at him but he just ignored him. Even if he did not know who that man as he was sure that Bea did not want anyt

She thought that they were done with the arcade but Caleb pulled them to the dance machine. Caleb looked at Carson with confidence but the uncle just smiled.“Do you want to dance?” Callum asked.“Let’s have a showdown, uncle.” Caleb looked serious as he challenged his uncle.“I won’t back down.” Carson laughed as he inserted his token into one of the machines. Caleb did the same and soon the music started.Bea knew that Caleb was a good dancer so she expected that Carson would be the same. However, Carson went beyond expectations! Was he a dancer? With those dance moves, he could even pass as an idol!She laughed when people started to crowd the dance machine. It seemed like the Suarez brothers were both crowd magnets. With those faces and talents, who would not want to cheer for them? They were both eye candy so it was nice having them around.While watching the two dance, Callum held her han

After eating, the four went to the arcades next. Following Caleb’s lead, they entered the arcades and exchanged cash for tokens.“Dad, did you get a lot of tokens for us? I want to try everything here, this time.” Caleb was so excited as he walked to the side.The game was called Apple or Banana. It was a game where they have to choose which one would come out and if they chose the right one, they would receive tokens as a reward.“I want to try this.” Caleb inserted his token into the slot and pushed the button for the banana.The machine played its background music as the fruits showed in random order. When the music stopped, the screen showed an apple so Caleb frowned.“This is no fun.” Caleb left and went towards the racing cars. “Mommy, can I ride this?”Bea smiled and shook his head. She could not let his son ride something that was as high as a real motorcycle. Though his father wo

“Shall we go eat?” Callum asked after they got out of the cinema. He gave the trash to Caleb and his son eagerly walked toward the trash bin and disposed of them.“Where are we going to eat, son?” Bea asked Caleb.“Can we go to fast food? I want to try a kiddie meal. Brent told me that it was good and I could get toys from my meals.”Bea laughed. “Sure let’s eat in a fast-food diner today.”“What?” The siblings said in unison.“What? Haven’t you tried eating from a fast-food diner yet?” Bea asked in a curious tone.Callum grinned and Carson held his nape. Those two looked similar and it was so cute to see them together. Bea led them to a fast-food diner and they stood in line waiting for their turn at the cashier.“Uncle, I want to check the kiddie meal toys.” Caleb pulled his uncle to the side where the toys were displayed.Bea smil

“Mommy!” Caleb immediately ran to Bea when he saw her standing outside the gates of his grandfather’s house. “Mommy, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to offend or hurt your feelings. I was just a bit insecure. I promise I won’t do it again!”Bea watched her son cry while hugging her tightly. She was about to carry him but Callum stopped her and carried him instead.Bea smiled at her son and wiped his tears. “Were you hurt? Mommy is so sorry that I made our Caleb hurt. When you feel something like that, you should tell us, okay?”Caleb nodded his head. “Yes, mommy. I won’t make you worry again.”“Very good. You know that we don’t want our precious Caleb to be sad, right? Even if we have a new baby, you are still our first baby, okay? Our love for you will never change. Remember that, okay?” Bea explained.Caleb nodded once more.“And since you’

The sun came down but Caleb was still not home. Bea insisted that she pick him up but Callum stopped her. He would not tolerate what the child did. Even if he was young, it was still unforgivable. Especially what he did to his mother.But night came and Caleb was still not home. Bea was worried about her son. She could not rest well knowing that the child was still not home.“Just let him be for today.” Callum tried to assure her. “He was in Carson’s house so he would be just fine.”“No. He’s not fine. Have you seen him earlier? He was emotionally hurt. We need to get him!” Bea cried.Callum sighed. Was this a part of her pregnancy? She was being overly sensitive.“Please pick him up. Let me talk to him,” Bea pleaded.“Bea? Can you hear yourself? You spent the whole morning crying because of that rascal and now you still want to talk to him? Are you not afraid of being stresse

“What’s wrong with you?” Carson asked when his nephew entered the room with tears in his eyes. The kid walked towards him and hugged him tightly.“Uncle, I think I just made my Mom and Dad angry at me!” He cried harder when Carson hugged him and patted him on his back.What did just happen? Carson was confused. He was so sure that those three had a good relationship so how come their child came crying to him?“Why is your eye swollen, Cale?” The chairman asked when he saw Caleb’s eyes.Carson just laughed as he put some food on Caleb’s plate. The child just cried his heart out all morning. He would just stop for a little while and then continue crying again. As a result, his eyes were all red and swollen.“Grandfather, can I sleep here today?” Caleb asked instead of answering his grandfather’s question.“Why? Is something wrong? Did you tell your parents that you&r

Since the announcement of Bea’s pregnancy, the couple would often take time to have a check-up every morning twice a week. The atmosphere at home had been merry and maybe it was because of the excitement that no one noticed that Caleb had been acting differently lately.“You’re frowning again today, Cale.” Carson noticed as soon as he entered his room. “What’s wrong?”“Nothing’s wrong. Nothing… really.” Caleb sighed.He woke up without his parents again and was left to eat a pancake alone. There was no call nor text coming from them so he just asked the driver to bring him to his uncle’s house without asking permission from them.To whom could he ask permission if they weren’t around?The old woman’s voice suddenly popped into his mind. “Just wait until your mom gets pregnant and we’ll see.”Was she telling the truth? Lately, he fe

“How was your day, Cale?” Bea asked as soon as she fastened the kid’s seatbelt.“It’s fine…” Caleb looked at the window without even meeting Bea’s eyes.Bea just dismissed it and thought that the kid was tired. She sat on the passenger seat and just listened to the silence. However, she could not take it. Usually, Caleb would talk about how his day went until he fell asleep. She was afraid that something happened in that house that he did not want to tell them about.“Caleb?” Bea looked at him in the rearview mirror.“Hmm?” Caleb seemed uninterested, he did not even look at her. Was he mad that she did not accompany him to his grandfather’s house?“Will you tell Mommy if something was wrong?” Bea asked in a soft and gentle manner.“Nothing, Mom.”Bea sighed and looked at Callum. Her husband just shrugged and looked at his son through

It had been months since their marriage and the two seemed to grow close than ever. They continued their normal lives except for Bea who was still adjusting even after months of being married to the Suarez Family.“Mom, grandfather asked me to visit him today,” Caleb said in a lazy tone as he ate his cereals.They were having breakfast together like usual before Callum goes to work.Bea put a glass of milk in front of Caleb and smiled. “Sure, you can. But I can’t accompany you today since I also have work.”“That’s no problem. Grandpa would be happy to have me around and Uncle Carson told me that he brought a new game today. I’ll behave well and wait for you and Dad to pick me up.”After bringing Caleb to the chairman’s house, Callum asked if they could stopover at a drive-thru.“Are you still hungry? Did you even eat the sandwich I made for you?” Bea asked when they tur
