Chapter 257 - Long Trip
The couple stopped by a forest park along their way. There were also a few campers around and he parked the car and set up the wheel chocks. He set up the tent and the electric induction stove. His wife already set up the ingredients to make their dinner. He lay down on the reclined chair just near their cooking area while he's holding baby Kal.
"This won't take long." She told him.
"Don't worry. I can wait."
He watched her cook their dinner. It somehow relaxes him, while he's holding Kal who was busy wandering around. He was well behaved..
"How many hours does it take when we get there?" She asked in a low voice.
"About ten more hours," he answered as he kissed Kal's top head. His head was currently covered with a soft hat so he won't get sick. "Let's sleep for about five hours, we will get back on the road as soon as I rest."
"Sure." She smiled at him and shortly, she prepared their table inside the RV. He helped her after putting Kal back on his bed. He took out their stove and foldable table and set it up inside. Then, the couple sat down and ate while Kal was busy listening to his favorite lullaby. "How is it?" She asked and put more food on his plate.
"It's delicious as always." He answered. After the couple was done with their meal, Bull let her wash the dishes while he went outside to check the surroundings. He also checked the cameras that he set up and the alarms. The people who are camping with their RV waved at him. He waved back and nodded.
He already noticed that it wasn't that safe in the area so he planned to move to another. He won't rest until his family is in a safe place. So, he took out his phone and checked if there were any nearby hostels. In an hour's drive, there's a hostel and they could rent a parking spot. So, he removed the wheel chocks and locked a few windows.
"What's wrong?" She asked him. Then she carefully put the dishes on the dryer.
"We are moving to the nearby hostel and renting a parking spot."
"Okay,"
She went to Kal's bed and sat down as he drove again. She didn't ask further like a good wife but she's worried about their safety. Terrence chose to stay with her and Kal to protect them instead of moving in with the team to continue with the mission. But their main job was to protect Kal and won't let them have him in the Charles Empire's hands. If they found out that Kal was the son of the Killing Machine and the cured lab rat, it would be a bigger problem.
Kal started crying and so, she carefully went through the fridge and took out the breast milk. She then put it on the warm water to unfreeze it. She sat down and held Kal and kissed his forehead.
"I'm sorry for forgetting your milk, baby love." She said softly and looked at her husband who was driving carefully. She looked at the car that was racing after them and Terrence slowed down even more. After a while, he went back to normal speed and glanced at them from the rear mirror.
She carefully put Kal down on the bed and put the straps on him so he won't fall. She turned on the heater and adjusted it to warm water as she put the pack of breast milk on the basin. Then, she put it on the baby's milk and checked the temperature. She took Kal and sat on the reclined chair and fed him.
"How many milks are there?" He asked.
"Forty. I think it'll be only for a week. We need to change into formula one." She caressed his fat cheeks.
"Alright," He increased the speed and so they reached the hostel and he paid for the parking spot for ten hours.
He takes a warm shower inside their RV and sets up the bed. Their little one was already asleep. He took a photo of him using the Polaroid. She took the film and put it in the box. She undressed and went to the bathroom to get ready for bed. He peeked at her and grinned. Although he wanted to have her, he felt so tired.
He dozed off shortly and he woke up when his wife moved closer to him and kissed him. He reached her small face and kissed her lips.
"Can we do it?" She whispered. "I got the condom."
"Alright,"
They were both careful and since they are playing the lullaby for Kal, they are sure that he's a heavy sleeper. The couple moved to the reclined chair and she get on top of him and started their lovemaking. They were careful not to shook the whole van. It only took five minutes for them to finished and Terrence moved back to the bed and fell asleep fast. While she cleans up few things and made sure that everything is locked.
She moved to Kal's side and carefully pulled the blanket to him. She then stared at her husband who was snoring a little. She felt sorry that he was tired of protecting them.
In the morning, Terrence fell asleep for more than seven hours. But he gets up quickly to prepare for their travel. He looked at his wife who seemed to just fall asleep. He heard Kal cried two times at night and she need to get up to feed him and change his diapers. He was careful not to wake both of them. That's why he didn't open the blinds.
He turned on the engine and peeked if it woke them up. But the two were asleep. He then took his phone to checked if Violet messaged him or anyone.
Blue Rose Captain: Boss, everything is clear. House is ready to move in.
Bull: Roger that. Thank you.
He droved out carefully and it woke her up. She hold Kal and went back to sleep. Now, all he need was to drive straight to their house. There's nine more hours drive but he can drive faster and safely at the same time.
Upon driving, he stopped by on the drive-thru and bought their breakfast. It woke her up completely and she prepared Kal's milk.
"Love, breakfast is ready." He said.
"Hmm," She only hummed. She already looked grumpy but she's only quiet and calm. She fed Kal who suddenly woke up and held him until he fell asleep.
"What a good boy huh?" Terrence smiled and that also made her smile.
"Indeed." She agreed. "Did Violet called?"
"Not yet. I think Ian got delayed in delivering the phone. Soon," He said.
"I bet that Kal already missed her."
She looked down at Kal who was only showing it off by sleeping. He slept more than usual.
"After breakfast, you can go back to sleep," Terrence said.
"Love, you know that I can drive too."
"Yes, I know." He smiled at her. "But you are more tired than I am. I slept well last night. Don't worry."
She was lucky to have a man like him. Although they have few misunderstandings, Terrence was always straightforward to avoid any further misunderstandings. He also always gave her flowers and pampered her. Who would dislike a man like that?
She carefully put Kal back to his bed and put the straps on. Then, she has her breakfast and feeds him while she's sitting on the passenger seat so they wouldn't have a break from driving. She also provided a stainless straw for him so he could sip on his hot coffee.
"I wonder what the house would look like." She said.
"It's big enough for the three of us and maybe for another baby." He grinned at her. "There's a garden and pool, also a greenhouse for our vegetables."
"Amazing." She had it imagined in her head. And just a few more hours later, she fell asleep again but Terrence continued driving after having a bathroom break.
They reached the place. There were houses along the way but their house was half a kilometer away from other houses. He opens the gate through the electronic control and then it closes once they get in. Kal started crying that woke her up. She peeked at the curtains and gaped.
"Is this our house?" She asked.
There are a lot of trees and she already noticed the CCTVs around. There are also birdhouses and the pool that he said was near the house. It looked like a normal house but it was more beautiful than she imagined. The greenhouse was walking distance from the house and top breed dogs were running and barking at them.
"Dogs?" Her eyes widened.
"I adopted them and looked at those Philippine domestic dogs. They are healthy and they are well-trained also."
He parked the car and opened the van for them. The dogs wiggle their tails and the caretaker approaches him.
"Boss, everything is ready inside." The old man said.
"Thank you." He took out a thick envelope from his pocket and gave it to him. "I'll call you for the next job."
"Thank you." The man bowed his head. The man saluted her and left.
The dogs started twirling around her but they didn't bite her. Terrence signed them as they lined up waiting for any command.
"Baby love, look at those dogs." She said to Kal who stared at the dogs and yawned.
