Chapter 9 - Aprils Decision (2) (1/2)
When April and Sky came in, Alex stood up. His eyes were only looking at the small child beside April.
Sky really looks identical to him, except for a few things. Sky has Alex's dark brown hair, white skin, long nose, same shape of the eyes and his brows. Sky has April's dark brown eyes, long eyelashes and small mouth.
April took a deep breath and Sky looked up to her. April nodded and he nodded back. They had an agreement. Don't underestimate the almost 3 year old kid, he's a genius. He started walking at 5 months and talking at 7 months. Seeing how genius her son is, she asked her father to hire a tutor/nanny for Sky when he turned 1 year old. Colm got a hold of this news and personally found a tutor for Sky. He wanted to also pay for it but Ted firmly rejected it. This time, they wanted to pay for Sky. Sky wasn't involved to their accident so Colm shouldn't feel obligated. No matter how Colm insisted, Ted denied it.
The tutor/nanny was a 30 year old woman. Her name is Lauri Jones. She is single and a teacher. She quitted her job because of how big of income and benefits she will receive if she works for the Lewis. Free lounging, food and all health (dental, eyes, medical) insurance was included. The only thing that she needs to do was to teach the baby and keep it company. Most of the time, April cleans Sky up or Annie would. If the two aren't available, that's when she comes in. She accompanies Sky 6 Days a week. She gets a day off during Sundays. If Sky needs to go somewhere with them, they let her get a day off during that day and still getting paid for it. Who can say no to this awesome job? Right?
Lauri was smart, she didn't wanted to get married anyways. So she plans to serve the Lewis, as far as she could. She can earn and save a lot of money by doing this. Though she had an easy job, she takes it very seriously. She graduated magna c.u.m laude with series of other medals on her profession. Colm wouldn't choose her if she wasn't outstanding enough. She was also talented in mostly everything.
All of these knowledge, she is willingly to pass it on to Sky. Now, Sky can already name all the countries in the planet, can do the basic math and plays two kinds of musical instruments. Sky is also starting to learn other languages. It was well worth it to hire Lauri.
Sky was even smarter than Colm. Colm started to walk at 9 months and talk at 1. Don't even compare Alex to Sky, it was futile. Alex is indeed smart, Just that Sky was like a monster. Sky's doctor thought that it may have been the effects of April's medications. At the early stages of April's pregnancy, She had taken a bunch of her usual medication, the effects were all targeting her brain cells. It was to help her with her nightmares and/or prevent her from having her episodes.
They didn't know that she got pregnant since it was very unlikely to happen. She was always guarded when she goes outside. Plus her medications wasn't new, she had been taking it since she was 11. It was only discovered when they had to take her blood for a new kind of medicine, she was already 4 months at that time.
Sky still slurs his words, but he is capable of understanding most of what you tell him. It was blessing that he turned out this way, the doctor said it was most likely 90% that he would turn dumb. 9% of being a normal kid and 1% being a great genius. Sky had beaten all the odds. April was proud of her son.
Alex got up and walked in front of them. He then half kneeled and looked at Sky.
”Hey buddy, My name is Alex. Im your father.” Alex smiled at his son. He looks so adorable. April pursed her lips, he didn't even said hello to her. She sighed. It was a good thing that her son was smart.
As soon as Alex talked, Sky replied.
