“What is it?” I ask, drying myself. He doesn’t say anything, making me suspicious. “I know you have something to say, so say it.” I tell him before dropping the towel and putting some jeans on.
“Mom is going to take Thaddeus tonight,” he says.
“Are you asking or telling me? Because it sounded like you said she was taking him” I argue.
“I’m telling you she is taking him for the night,” he says, his eyes holding mine.
I growl, annoyed by his tone. “No, he stays here.” I tell him.
“Imogen, let her take him, it gives us a night off.”
“No, I don’t want him away from us. What if Bianca-“
Tobias cuts me off. “Bianca is at the council under watch, I know you don’t like this but it’s happening whether you like it or not. Mom is taking him, Imogen.” He states standing up.
I close my eyes, frustrated and pinch the bridge of my nose. I can feel my nails digging into the palm of my other hand.
“Imogen, you will let her. I need sleep, you need sleep.”
“He doesn’t need to leave though, Tobias. Theo doesn’t need sleep and I feel fine,” I retort.
“You are not fine, Imogen. It is already organized, Thaddeus is going with mom and dad. They won’t let anything happen to him. This isn’t up for discussion we already decided.” He growls, daring me to go against him.
“So what, Theo wants this as well?”
“Yes, Imogen, one night that’s all,” he says, moving closer and rubbing my arms.
I feel my anger dissipate as I feel the familiar spark rush over my skin. “Fine, but only one night,” I tell him, giving him what he wants.
“Good girl,” he mumbles into my hair, as he tugs me to him, holding me in his arms.
I spend the day doing housework before going out and weeding the rose garden. When I come back in, I find Tobias packing a bag for Thaddeus. He looks up when he sees me walk in through the kitchen door. I walk over and wash my hands.
“Theo is coming home early, mom will be here at four to pick him up.”
I ignore him, they both know I’m not comfortable with this. Walking out, I walk upstairs and check on Thaddeus. He is asleep, and I jostle him awake as I pick him up. His big green eyes stare back at me.
I remain in the room until I hear the door open downstairs and I know Theo has returned home. I hear footsteps on the stairs before I see him walk into the room, he leans on the door frame watching me and I can feel him rummaging through my thoughts.
“Don’t do that!” I snap, shoving him out.
“I was just checking on a scale of one to ten how pissed off you are with me.”
“A ten. Now go,” I tell him.
“Tobias said you were angry, but it’s one night, Imogen. You will survive, I promise,” he says, walking in the room toward me. He holds his arms out for Thaddeus and I reluctantly hand him over. “Come say hello to mom,” he says, looking down at me. I sigh and get up, walking downstairs. Theo is quick to place Thaddeus in his car seat while I quickly hug Caroline and Josiah.
“I promise he will be fine. I raised three boys. I know what I am doing.” She tells me.
I nod but still don’t like the idea of him leaving. Caroline and Josiah are quick to leave, probably so I don’t change my mind. As soon as the door is closed, Theo and Tobias turn and face me. I roll my eyes, annoyed, turning my back on them and walking upstairs.
Laying on the bed, I feel restless. My mind goes everywhere at once, not able to focus on one thing. My mood gets darker and darker with every minute passing by that he isn’t by my side.
