Chapter 8

Chapter 8 - Problem in the mall»»——⍟——««

You slowly parked the car in a free parking space. Noticing how there were many people going to the mall today. Fuck me. Its Saturday so of course there'll be a lot of humans running around.

You sighed before glancing down at your lap to see the kid still peacefully sleeping his butt off.

You brush your hands on his red hair. "Hey kid, were here."

You watched as he snuggles more on your tummy. This kid.

"Kid wake up." You patted his back a bit so he would wake up.

He yawned cutely before deciding to stare straight at you. You wiped his eyes a bit before grabbing your bag and carrying him out of the car.

The kid rests his head on your chest, still feeling a bit sleepy. You just let it be since your more focused on getting inside the mall.

You finally stepped inside and the cold air of the ac hit you. You groaned a bit. You forgot to fucking bring an extra jacket for the kid.

You glanced down to see the kid staring off somewhere. You just shrugged it off and walked towards the department store. You'll probably get most of the things that the kid needs there.

You grabbed a cart and placed him down on the sit. You took off your jacket and placed it around him so that he wouldn't get cold. He snuggles into it before reaching one of his hands to hold onto your fingers. You smiled softly at him before proceeding to push the cart.

You first need to get some clothes for him. He needs a lot ranging in different colors and materials so that both of you can be twinning. You love a good matchy outfit.

You walked over the section and just placed random clothes that you think looks good and fits the kid. He just stared around and didn't really care that much about you tossing different things in the cart.

You glanced down to see the kid just looking bored. You mentally slapped your head for being stupid. You didn't know how to entertain a kid so you just decided on letting him watch adventure time on your phone.

That seemed to take his interest so you went back to shopping for him. Once you think you have enough clothes to last him a while, you walked over to the baby section. You didn't know what else a baby needs so you just dumped interesting shit down at the cart. The both of you can find out what those things do when you get home. Yup, not a good parent.

You also bought some more baby bottles, diapers, bibs, and all those home things to stock up since there will be two of you now living on the house. You looked at your cart to see that it was starting to fill up, so you decided to check out.

Thank goodness you can leave all the items inside for a while and just return for it later cause you still need a lot of shit to buy.

Carrying the kid, you walked around the store while looking for anything to catch your eye on. That's when you spotted a small dip n dots stall, and you damn hell know you want some.

You swiftly go there and let the kid stare at all the flavors.

He looked up at you with a confused look at his face before looking back down at all the colors. He doesn't know what those are but you look happy so he was confused.

"What do you want kid?" You asked as you decided on bubble gum and tiramisu.

He tilted his head at you before pointing at the yellow-colored ones.

You grinned at him before looking over at the seller. "I'll get the largest cup, then the flavors would be bubble gum, tiramisu, and banana split."

The seller quickly got your order while you tried to get some money from your wallet. It isn't really easy especially when you're carrying a kid.

Once you received your order you grab a spoon and sat down on one of the chairs there. You just settle the kid on your lap so you can feed him easily.

You took a bit first before scooping some more and feeding some to the kid.

You watched as he opens his mouth and let the ice cream melt in his mouth. His eyes widen as it looked at the spoon with a twinkling look. You grinned at his reaction before feeding him some more.

Ever since adopting him, you noticed how he doesn't react like how other kids do. He just stares at everything and watches you do your thing. It was obvious even for you that he doesn't know what to do since he is new to those kinds of things. He rarely sees other people when he was in the orphanage, and the few times that he does, it's usually not something good. He had never made friends or see other kids so he doesn't know how to have fun and do those kinds of things.

It was sad and really made you mad at how familiar the happenings were. You didn't exactly grow up with a beautiful childhood as well so seeing kids just like you when you were young just rubs on you. You could clearly see how messed up society is and you hate how you can't seem to change it.

You sighed a bit in frustration before just shoving a spoonful of dip n dots on your mouth.

The kid frowned as he saw how you reacted. Suddenly stopping momentarily and just staring at space. He didn't know what to do so he just prompted on tapping your hands.

You looked down at the kid to see him staring at you. You smiled at him before getting another spoonful and feeding him some more.

Once it was finished, you stood up and thrown it in the garbage can. The kid held onto your shirt as you carry him towards a toy store you saw while eating.

He needs more toys to play and entertainment him with.

You grabbed a cart and place him down again. His head was whipping around, looking at all the toys around him. You smirked at his childish behavior before pushing him at the very first aisle. You'll work your way around the store so he sees everything he wants to buy. You're loaded anyway.

"Hey kid just point on anything you like. I'll buy it for you okay?" You patted his head.

He frowned before reaching for your hand again. You glanced down at his confused form. He doesn't know if he should accept or not.

You sighed when he didn't point at anything and just fiddled with your fingers. The sudden sound made the kid stiffen. He shook his head down some more, fearing that he has made you angry for not following your order.

You didn't notice this and just decided to pull him up and carry him. It'll be easier for him to tell you what he wants if you're carrying him.

"Come on kid. What do you want?" You mumbled again as he buried his face on the crook of your neck.

"Don't worry, I'm kinda rich so you can buy whatever you want. No need to worry about me going bankrupt cuz of some fucking toys." Yeah, you're cussing. Do you care? No. Is it good parenting skills? Don't have any.

He looked up and stares at you for a while. You just stared back to tell him that it was alright. He slowly nods his head before pointing at a toy car.

You instantly walked over and just dumped it in the cart.

"What else?"

Points at some toolbox for kids.

"Hmm... What color kid?"

Points at the red and black ones.

"Anything else?"

That continued on till the cart is halfway full. He would just cling onto your shirt and point at some toys that caught his interest.

But what you did notice is that he is interested in building things. He chose toys that are mostly cars, gears, and build it yourself stuff. It was weird but you were fine with it. He can be a future mechanic when he grows up.

Because you were getting tired from carrying him you placed him down at the cart again. He seems to be okay with it as he continues to look around. You patted his head when he points at a build-it-yourself robot box.

You pushed the cart towards it and saw that there are many options to choose from. You let the kid choose what he likes. But he could just buy all kinds, you don't really care.

"Ehem..."

"What do you like kid?"

"Ms. Eustass."

"You can just get all of it if you can't choose."

"Y/N!!"

"FOR GOODNESS FUCKING SAKE WHAT?!" You growled as you whipped around to see whose calling for you. CAN'T THEY SEE YOUR BUSY?!

You frowned as you saw the familiar face. He snarled back at you as he looked you up and down.

"What are you doing in a toy store, you criminal?" He watches you as you hold onto two toy boxes. You look so ridiculous that it irritates him. How can a big criminal like you, casually go shopping?

You glared at him turning around again and just dumping all the different kinds of robots at your cart. "Toy shopping. What else you idiot?"

You started pushing your cart out of there since you've caught quite an attention. Fuck this walking cancer stick.

"Don't turn your back on me you bitch." He growled as he pulled you back to face him.

You snarled at him as he's causing a lot of commotion. Can't you fucking shop in peace?!

"Fuck off." You flipped a finger at him before shoving his hands of you. Fuck, he smells like cigarettes.

He was just about to pull you by the wrist when he suddenly stops and stares at you... Well more like on your side.

You look down to see the kid holding onto your shirt as he stares at the idiot of a cop.

"HOW DARE YOU KIDNAP A CHILD?!" Smoker growled as he tried to attack you.

You swiftly grabbed the kid and dodge the idiot.

"GIVE THE CHILD BACK Y/N!!" He tried to pull the child from you but you dodge again.

This idiot be fucking jumping to conclusions left and right.

"Don't want to." You yawned as you dodge another attack

"You fucking monster!!" He snarled as he tried to use his powers. You instantly flicked his forehead.

"I'm pretty sure a cop can't use his powers in public especially if you're not catching a criminal." You stated as the hit stop him from transforming

"I'm catching one right now!!"

"Ugh, can you just stop? You're attracting attention and its embarrassing." You muttered as you tried to hide your face from all the stares.

You're in a fucking toy store for fuck's sake!! You'll be teased for life by your friends for fighting in here!

"I'm fucking embarrassing you?!" Smoker sticks growled once more as he stood over you.

"Yeah, you are. Sheesh, you look like an ex-boyfriend throwing a tantrum." You smirked at him. You love, love teasing this cop.

"Fuck you." Oh, how sweet.

"You shouldn't fucking say that in front of a child you shit face." You rolled your eyes at his attitude.

Smoker narrowed his eyes at you before trying to grab the kid again. You tilted your body so that he would miss. But in doing so, he trapped your body between his arms.

"You shouldn't show your attraction to me in public you know, particularly not in a toy store. And especially not in front of my child." You smirked as you brought your face closer to his. "You're being a bad role model right now."

He didn't move or say anything as he tried to process what you just said.

While he was on his daydream, you glanced down at your kid.

The kid was staring up at Smoker with a frown. He didn't like how the old man was getting your attention and he didn't really like how the cop tried to take him away from you.

You brought the kid closer to you as he buried his face on your neck. All of this was tiring him out.

"What do you mean your kid?" Smoker snarled at you.

"Just what it meant. My kid." You shrugged at him. "That's usually how adoption works right?"

The cancer sticks finally backed away from you as he stared at the child on your arms.

"I don't believe you." He continued to look at you with suspicion.

'Why is everyone adopting a kid nowadays?!' He thought as he watches you walked over to your cart.

"Then don't. I don't need you to believe me." You grumbled as you pushed your cart towards the cashier. The kid looks tired so you'll let him sleep. You guys can buy some more toys another time.

------

You looked around the frozen section as you looked for your favorite ice cream flavor. The kid was still sleeping at your arms so it was kinda hard pushing the cart. Good thing I have someone just for that.

"Why the fuck are you making me push your stupid cart?" Smoker growled as he watches you shove a bunch of ice cream buckets in the cart.

"You wouldn't stop following us so you might as well be useful. Or would you prefer carrying my kid?" You retorted as you proceeded to get some frozen pizza.

He grumbled as he continued to follow you with the cart.

Yeah, that's what you thought. No way you're letting him carry the kid anyway.

After you bought everything you need. As well as a ton of sweets that you would let the kid taste later at home. You liked the way his eyes twinkled when you made him taste the dip n dots.

You walked back towards your car carrying 5 shopping bags on your other hand that's not carrying the kid.

"Can you hurry up? You walk like a turtle." You shouted at the poor idiot who you made carry the remaining bags.

You can feel his glare hitting straight at your skull but you didn't give a fuck.

You watched amused as he grumbled under his breath, placing all the bags on the trunk.

You placed the kid at the front passenger seat as you proceeded to get in the car.

"You shouldn't place the kid in front, you idiot." Smoker frowned at your parenting.

"Are you gonna arrest me?" You smirked at him. He just glared at you making your smirk widen even more.

"Well, I guess it wasn't nice seeing you again, but I'll humor you for now." You teased him.

"Fuck you criminal. I'll catch you when you're not with your kid." Smoker snarled at you as he took a quick glance at the child sleeping in the car.

"Well, aren't you fucking sweet. Thanks anyway." You gave one final nod at him before driving away.

A lot has damn happened and you're tired as fuck. You glanced at your clock to see that its 2 pm.

Shit, it took a while in the mall. You fucking forgot about lunch.
