Gabriel lifted his son as he climbed up the stairs, sighing as soon as he stood before Xavier and his mate. “Made it to breakfast late and this happened. I mean, I knew it would, but in front of everybody…that’s unlike you Xa-Kaheel.”
“He deserved to feel publicly embarrassed…he did wrong, he should feel bad for it.”
“I understand.” Gabriel looked down at his son; Jonas. “Why don’t you go up with uncle Kaheel…? I’ll get us all some food, then come up.”
The boy shook his head and Xavier glared at him. “Come….”
A sad look took a stance across the child’s face as he pushed away from his father and towards Xavier. Xavier dropped Celia’s hand and took him. “Quit pretending as though your uncle isn’t nice to you too.”
“You’re really not…” Gabriel chuckled as he strolled back down the stairs
