It was fine Sunday afternoon and Harrison was enjoying it with his little four year old son Jamie. Both of them were watching Spider Man: Homecoming. “Unca Tommy” Jamie pointed at Peter Parker on the screen. “Yes bubs, that is uncle Tom.” Harrison smiled at his son who snuggled into his father’s chest.
Jamie always recognised Tom on screen. Let’s just say both of them had a very special bond.
Harrison rubbed his son’s back when the doorbell rang. Harrison didn’t expect anyone to visit him on Sunday and that too in the afternoon. “I’ll check who’s on the door. You wait here, ok.” Jamie nodded and cuddled to one of the large pillows on the sofa.
Harrison opened the door of his small house to greet a young woman he did not know. “Hi. I am Y/N L/N. I was sent here by MacLaine's Orphanage.” The woman introduced herself.
“Yeah, I know. I got a call from them a few days ago. Please come in.” He invited her into her house. Harrison led her to the kitchen, glancing at his son who was busy watching the movie. He pulled out a chair from the dining table for her to sit.
“I am sorry that you have to sit here but actually my son is watching T.V and I don’t want to disturb him.” Harrison told her as he took a seat in front of her. “Oh please, I don’t mind at all.” she gave him a kind smile.
“Do you want something? Tea or coffee?” he asked. “Water will do.” She looked a tad bit nervous. Harrison handed her a glass of water. “I am certain that you know the reason I am here.” Y/N said with a small smile.
“Actually. I don’t.” Harrison gave you an apologetic smile. “Oh. Um.. I am here to ask for your experience as a single father with an adopted child? Actually I want to adopt a child but the orphanage insisted me to ask someone of my age and who has adopted a child. The orphanage is very protective of the kids and suggested that I should meet you.”
“Okay. so, what do you wanna know? Where do you wanna start? Umm.. Why do you want to adopt a child?” Harrison has never done anything like this. Was he giving advice to a stranger?
“Why do I want to adopt a child? Oh, I want to adopt a child because I want to. Because I want to enter the next stage of my life. And I can provide a child everything. I also have good experience at babysitting the children.” she reasoned.
“Okay?” Harrison wasn’t sure how to respond to her. “But you do know that parenting can be tiring. Right? And it is much more difficult than babysitting. Your whole life will revolve around the kids. You have to be there for them for twenty-four hours. And you have to provide them not only financially but mentally and emotionally. It is not as easy as it looks.”
“And do you know what the most frustrating thing is? It is that single fathers do the same struggle as single mothers but we are always underappreciated.” Harrison let It all, lashing out on poor Y/N.
“I am so sorry. I just needed to get it all out. I am sorry if I scared you.” Harrison immediately apologised. “No you didn't scare me. But can I ask you something?” “Yeah sure.” He tried to compose himself.
“Why did you adopt a child? I mean you are pretty young and…” Y/N asked.
Harrison sat up straight. “Three years ago; when I was travelling with my mate Tom. We found this crashed car with a couple and a year old baby and we called the paramedics immediately but the couple were already dead. Their baby somehow survived.”
“Me and Tom stayed with the baby through everything from that time. Both of us got attached to him so much that we didn’t want to leave him. And he also got attached to us too. This is why adopted him. And not only gave him my surname I also gave him my middle name. This is also because I didn’t know his actual name.” Harrison chuckled at the end.
Y/N had tears in her eyes. “I am sorry, Mr. Osterfield.” Harrison gave her a soft smile in return. “I don’t know how to feel about this. I am now thinking that I am not ready for a child.” Y/N chuckled.
“I am so sorry for demotivating you…” “Hey! It’s okay.” Harrison started to apologise but Y/N cut him off.
“Maybe you can spend some time with me and Jamie. I can train you a little bit for parenthood. Get you ready.” Y/n gave him a bright smile before getting up.
“I guess I’ll see you later Mr. Osterfield. And I will keep your offer in my mind.”
“Oh please call me Haz or harrison.” Harrison said as both of them walked towards the drawing room (I did my research. Drawing room is the correct word for living room.) “So that’s why he didn’t interrupt us.” Harrison looked at his sleeping son, a smile found its way on both of their faces.
Harrison wrapped the blanket around his son’s body, kissing his forehead. He then turned to the woman standing beside him. “I want to spend time with you guys. It won't bother him though. Right?” Y/N asked.
“No. It won’t. Jamie is a friendly child. He loves making new friends.” Harrison smiled.
And this was it. This was the beginning of their new relationship.
