It takes a couple of hours for Flora and Tyros to come from their land, "I'm so sorry for waiting for too long!" Flora told them as soon as she got out of the car. "It is fine!" Stella answered, and Flora looked at her. Flora's gaze went to Stella until she saw a young boy sitting near her. Flora was startled and pointed out the young boy, "We are going to talk about it later!" Stella immediately told her. Flora got her message and nodded her head, "Sure!" She answered and smiled at Bryce. Tyros also showed up after parking his car, "Hey, I was calling at you a lot of times." Tyros scolded Brandon right away. "I'm busy!" Brandon answered and smirked at him. "Let's eat!" Darrel told them, and they started eating their dinner. "Mommy, I want some!" Bryce said and handed his plate to Stella. "Sure!" Stella answered and filled his plate with meat. All of them were watching Stella taking care of Bryce, "What a sight!" Daisha whispered and smiled at Brandon. "Don't tell he is calling you Daddy?" She added and asked Brandon. "Yeah, you got it right!" Brandon answered, which surprised Daisha. "What kind of situation is that?" Daisha teased him, and Darrel stopped her right away. "So, what is your name?" Flora asked the young boy, and Bryce looked at Stella. "Go on, tell them your name!" Stella told him and smiled at him. "I'm Bryce!" Bryce told them, and Flora nodded her head. "What a nice name!" Flora said and smirked at Stella. After their dinner, Stella went inside the house with Bryce. "You need to sleep now, Bryce!" She asked him, and Bryce didn't say anything about it. She helped him clean his body and change his clothes. Darrel provided some of his small clothes and gave them to Bryce, "Thank you for helping me!" Stella thanked him. "No problem, Stella!" Darrel answered and left the room. Stella put Bryce in bed, "I'm going to sleep now, Mom!" Bryce told her, and she nodded her head. "Good night, sweetie!" Stella told him and caressed his hair, "Good night, Mom!" Bryce answered. Bryce closed his eyes while Stella was caressing his hair. When he fell asleep, Stella stood up and went outside his room. She went outside, and they were waiting for her. "So, let's talk about it now!" Daisha told her sister, and Stella sat in front of them. "I saw him in the fast food place while we were eating. He approached me and called me Mommy." Stella started, and they were listening to her. She told them everything that happened, and Brandon was supporting her. "Are you saying that you are going to adopt him?" Flora asked her best friend, and Stella nodded her head. "You should think about it twice or thrice." Daisha told her sister, "I already made up my mind." Stella answered. Daisha took a deep breath and shook her head in disbelief. "So, your decision is final!" Flora said, and Stella looked at her. "Yeah, you know me!" Stella told her, and they couldn't say anything about it. "I will get us some beers— "I will not drink!" Stella immediately said, and they looked at her. "Really? You love beer!" Daisha told her, and Stella shook her head. "Not now!" Stella answered and looked away. Brandon smirked while looking at Stella, "I will not drink too!" He said and raised both his arms. "Wait, for real?" Tyros asked him, and Brandon nodded his head. "Okay, we are not going to drink!" Darrel said, and they agreed with him. They cleaned the table and put everything inside the house. Flora and Tyros volunteered to do the dishes while Stella was waiting for Flora in the living room. "We are going to our room now." Daisha told her sister, "Good night!" Stella told her. Daisha and Darrel went to their room while Stella was still waiting for Flora. "Is there any spare room here?" Tyros asked Stella after doing the dishes. "Yeah, this house has a lot of rooms." Stella answered while nodding her head. "I will wait for you in our room." Tyros said and went upstairs. Flora sat beside Stella, "You need my company, huh!" Flora teased her. "Of course, I always need you!" Stella answered and smiled at her. "So, what are we going to talk— "Passing through!" Brandon appeared in the living room and went upstairs. Stella rolled her eyes in disbelief and looked at Flora. "Bryce thinks that Brandon is his father, right?" Flora asked her, and Stella nodded her head. "I'm going to bring him to our land." Stella said, and Flora was surprised at what she said. "What if he finds out that we are werewolves?" Flora asked her, and Stella couldn't answer her right away. "I don't know how to explain that to him." Stella answered, and Flora patted her shoulder. "We can hide it but I know he will be curious." Flora answered, and Stella agreed with her. "I will tell him about that but not for now." Stella said, and they decided to take a rest. The next day came, and Stella woke up beside Bryce. "Good morning, Mommy!" He greeted Stella right away. "Good morning!" Stella also greeted him. They went to the bathroom to wash their faces, "Mommy, where's Daddy?" Bryce asked her, and Stella was caught off guard. Stella coughed out of awkwardness, "He slept in another room!" She answered and smiled at Bryce. "Why didn't he sleep with us?" Bryce asked her again, and Stella wiped his face. "I don't know!" Stella answered, and they left the room. They went downstairs and saw them in the living room, "We should have a picnic!" Daisha said and looked at them. "I know a perfect spot for a picnic." Darrel added and waited for their approval. "I want a picnic, Mommy!" Bryce immediately said and jumped slightly out of excitement. "Okay, let's go to a picnic!" Stella said and caressed Bryce's hair. They started packing their things while Flora and Stella were buying some food in the grocery store. "Go get some!" Stella told Bryce when she noticed that Bryce was looking at the chocolate section. "But it is bad for my teeth." Bryce answered and looked at her. "Yeah, but you will just eat a little!" Stella told him, and Bryce agreed with her. They were in line at the counter when someone noticed Bryce, "Where's your Mom?" A mid 40's woman asked him. Bryce immediately pointed out Stella to the woman. "What?" The woman was confused and looked at Stella. "I know his mother!" The woman whispered to Stella, "But she left her son!" Stella whispered back at her. The woman froze after hearing those words from Stella, "Are you sure about that?" The woman asked her. Stella rolled her eyes and nodded her head, "All I know was her mother had him because of her work." The woman told her, and Stella was invested in her story. "Flora!" Stella called her, and Flora nodded her head. "Bryce, come with me!" Flora told him and handed her hand to Bryce. "Go on, honey!" Stella approved of him, and Bryce accepted Flora's hand. "Are you saying that his mother had him unexpectedly?" Stella immediately asked the woman, "Yeah! She couldn't do anything she wanted because of that young boy, maybe that is the reason why she dumped him." The woman told her, and Stella shook her head in disbelief. "Do you know where she lives?" Stella asked her, and the woman nodded her head. The woman wrote the address where she could find Bryce's mother, and Stella kept it inside her pocket. "Thank you!" Stella said to the woman and that's when Flora came back with Bryce. They paid for their groceries and went back to Darrel's place. "I will go somewhere!" Stella whispered to Brandon, "Where are you going?" Brandon asked her right away. "You don't need to know about it, just look for Bryce while I am gone." Stella answered, and Brandon just nodded his head. They went inside the car, and Brandon was with Stella and Bryce. They were following Darrel's car until they reached a pond. They parked their car, "Remember what I told you!" Stella whispered to Brandon. "You can always count on me!" Brandon answered, and Stella nodded her head. "Bryce, I need to go somewhere! Your Dad will be with you while I am not here! Is that okay with you?" Stella asked Bryce as soon as they got out of the car. Bryce nodded his head and hugged Stella, "Come back right away, Mom!" Bryce whispered at her. "I will!" Stella answered and hugged him tightly. Stella nodded her head at Brandon, "Let's go, big boy!" Brandon said and handed his hand to Bryce. Stella instructed them to walk into the pond, "Be safe!" Brandon told her before walking away with Bryce. Stella watched them walk away and went inside her car. She drove into the city again and looked for Bryce's mother. She followed the route that the woman told her and stopped when she found it. "I will just talk to her!" She said and got out of her car. She walked into the house and rang the doorbell. "Who are you?" A woman got out of the door, "Are you Matilda?" Stella asked her right away. The woman looked at her and scanned her from head to toe, "Yeah, I am Matilda! Why?" The woman asked her. "Why did you do that to your son?" Stella asked her, which made the woman startled. The woman couldn't answer her and looked away. "How did you find me?" The woman asked her, and Stea smirked at her. "Just answer my question, ma'am!" Stella told her, which made Matilda stop. She looked away and started crying, "I can't give him what he wants." Matilda answered while crying. "Or you can't have what you want." Stella told her, and Matilda froze in her position. "Wait— what are you saying?" Matilda asked her and wiped her tears. "I already know the reason why you dumped your son, Matilda! You don't deserve to be a mother!" Stella answered, and Matilda smirked at her. Matilda started walking around her and tried to scare Stella, "You can't scare me!" Stella told her. "Really?" Matilda asked her, and three men came out from her house. "Grab her!" Matilda told them, and they immediately went to Stella. Stella defended herself and stopped them from attacking her. Matilda couldn't believe what she witnessed, "How did you do that?" Matilda asked her. "You shouldn't do that to your future children! May this situation become a lesson for you." Stella answered and started walking away. Brandon was watching Bryce playing with other children near the pond, "You shouldn't take your eyes off him, Stella will get mad at you." Daisha warned him before going to the pond. Darrel nodded his head at Brandon and followed Daisha into the pond. "Where did she go?" Flora asked Brandon and sat beside him. "I don't know!" Brandon answered and tried to hide where Stella went. "Really? You don't know?" Flora asked him and glared at him. "Yep!" Brandon answered while looking at Bryce. A car stopped near them and it was Stella, "Mommy!" Bryce yelled and ran towards Stella. Stella opened her arms to hug Bryce, "Did you miss me?" Stella asked him, and Bryce nodded his head. "Let's go swimming, Mommy!" Bryce told her, and Stella looked at the pond. She saw Daisha and Darrel having fun in the pond, "You need to change your clothes first!" Stella answered and got Bryce's clothes for swimming. After changing his clothes, they went to the pond. Brandon saw them and followed them into the pond, "Did you find her?" Brandon whispered at her. "Yep, and I already warned her!" Stella answered and smiled at Bryce. "Swimming!" Bryce said while soaking his body in the water. "You should wet your body!" Brandon told Stella and pushed her into the water. Stella fell into the water and got her body wet, "What the!" She said and glared at Brandon.
