Sydney’s POV
+25 BONUS
My lips stretched into a smile and the warmth spread to every part of me as I watched dthe videos, my heart getting more filled with love for my boy.
Since I got here, Mark and Grace created a W******p group and they made it a habit to always send me short growth videos of Aiden and random picture they either took of him or either of them with him. Sometimes, it was even like they were competing on who spent more time with Aiden or who had more special moments with him.
Mark had been the one to send the video I was currently watching, he captioned it, ‘Grace’s been away for a week which made me the first to witness the miracle.”
Mark was at a park with Aiden. He had dressed Aiden in a cute bright blue onesie that made his eye color pop. Mark placed Aiden on the picnic mat he had set up and scattered toys around him.
Then he did a thumbs up to the camera and walked about sis steps away from him.
“Hey boy!” He called and I laughed softly when Aiden didn’t answer him. he was too focused on his toys to answer him.
“Aiden sweetie, Come to Ma,” he said and Aiden jerked his head up, mumbled some jargons with his sparse brows raised and pointed from his toys to Mark.
Mark just smiled and nodded through it all. “I know you don’t want to leave your toys, Aide but you’ve got
to come to Ma.”
When Aiden started to pick up words, the first coherent syllable he said was Ma. Every normal person knew that was his mom, right? But Mark was convinced that Aiden was trying to say ‘Mark‘ and truth be told, I think he was right now, as much as Aiden says Mark to whoever, he said it more whenever he had his eyes on Mark.
My heart momentarily skipped a beat and my eyes widened when Aiden suddenly got on his feet and slowly wobbled to Mark’s open arms.
I let out a short happy scream, palmed my mouth and sat up. My eyes fileld with tears as I liked the video with a heart emoji and proceeded to send several stickers and emojis that portrayed how happy and proud I was.
Truly, this had been the way I had been spending my days in the past two months. Locating Lucas in Italy hadn’t exactly turned out to be easy. And at the end of an exasperating day, I would freshen up, pick up my phone and watch the pictures and videos that I was sure they would have left for me. Those pictures and videos never failed to make my day and they were usually the highlight of my day and the only reason that made me smile and never give up in my search for Mark.
With all that I had been through since I arrived in Italy, anyone would have given up on this seemingly fruitless search but I owed it to Aiden and I owed it to myself, most importantly, I owed it to our memories and my peace of mind.
