Relentless of Kate's reaction to his confession, he felt determined to save her maybe not to earn her forgiveness for the things he had done but to save her soul.
' daddy? Quinn called out to him running into his arms
" I wasn't expecting you today"
"The house is quiet without you" he stated pulling him to his lap.
" I'm bored too. I have an idea. Let's go to your seaports. I enjoyed the last ride" he said slowly making Alvin and Bianca chuckle.
" Naomi can come too. She can tuck me to bed like the last time"
" Or we can go on a cruise. Dad, please say yes" Alvin smiled at him suddenly recalling his and Kate's voyage on his quest to get her pregnant.
" Of course son. Cynthia and Naomi can come with us" his eyes gleamed in excitement running into the house to get his phone while Bianca narrowed her eyes at him.
' Why didn't you tell me Kate was back? I can't believe she didn't come to say hi"
' mom, I'm going through a lot at the moment. Please understand. You know how we parted ways. She's not happy with us"
' then change that. Quinn needs his mother not some sluts who are fighting over your affection by being nice to him. If you're to be honest you want her back' he shrugged crossing his legs.
" I'm trying to. She's not making it easy for me. I have tried"
" Have you told her about Simon? He looked at her like she has grown two heads.
" She'll never forgive me for lying to her. I need to show her how sorry I am that's all. Quinn is out of the picture. There's no way she's learning about him at least not now perhaps when we're on good terms he stated as Bianca nods
" Your dad is coming home soon. You better fix things with her"
" I know"
" What about the company. Is there improvement?
" I'm afraid not" he was cut off by Quinn's sauntering legs.
" Dad, I'm ready" he squealed holding his hands.
" Cynthia and Naomi are on their way. Grandma, I'll see you later"
" Alright, son. Be careful" Bianca pecked him on the cheeks while he blushed burying his face in Alvin's torso.
" Mom, Quinn is too big for kisses. Look what you've done"
" What nonsense are you saying? He's always my baby. Just look at those grey eyes" Quinn huffed holding Alvin tighter as he chuckled.
" Let me tell you a secret godson your Dad was like that too when he was younger. Always blushing at the simplest gesture. Just don't be a menace like him"Tate stated as he entered the house.
Quinn shook him as a form of salutation which amused him but made Alvin proud for his kind gesture.
" Really Dad? He looked up at Alvin for confirmation.
" That's absurd. I don't blush. Tate is been delusional" he denied flatly winking at Tate.
" Forget I said that. Molly's birthday is tomorrow. You're invited"
" Aww. Molly of course. Dad, I want a cat as a birthday present"
" What about Oscar? You left him at the house for the maids to take care of"
" That dog is too lazy and he's always sleeping. I want a fierce one"
" Don't worry. Uncle Tate got it covered" he smiled engaging in a handshake with him.
" Uncle Tate, we are going on a cruise. Are you coming? Tate stared at Alvin who hummed.
' that's good. Have I told you how lucky you're to be his son? He asked tickling him earning loud laughter from him but that didn't stop him from going further while chasing him around the chairs whenever he escaped his hold.
" Uncle Tate. I'm not a baby" Bianca mimicked his childish voice which amused Alvin as he watched them play.
" He's such a sweet boy"
' he took after his mother. Tell the housekeepers to pack his bags we're going on a cruise"
" Alright. Remember you bring him back. He's going to school tomorrow"
" I know Mom"
Like a bunch of jobless girls, Cynthia and Naomi had been waiting for them besides the seaport though they didn't notice each other.
Quinn sent them a message as they arrived at the seaport.
The cool breeze had Alvin worried as he pulled a trench coat in him.
" Uncle Tate, how big is Molly?
" The size of every good cat" he chuckled looking at an absent-minded Alvin.
" That's the type I want" he tugged on his suit jacket as he didn't respond to him.
" Of course son. Anything for you" he tells him looking into the distance and saw Cynthia trailing their way happily.
" Cynthia is here. She looks good" Tate nods in agreement.
" Yes she does" he answered she stood in front of them pulling Tate for an embrace.
" Hi Alvin" she went forward to peck him then pecked Quinn.
" You look, good sweetie"
" I know" the little boy answered as Tate urged him to hit knuckles which he did proudly while Cynthia huffed in annoyance.
" Sorry I'm late Quinn dear," said Naomi who was panting like she ran a marathon race.
" You didn't have to run. It's a good thing you're here now" Quinn said pulling her for a hug as Cynthia's face darkened from jealousy.
" Why is she here? Quinn, you didn't tell me she was coming?
" I know" he answered walking towards the huge ship which was wailing already while Alvin and Tate shrugged deeming him as the boss.
Although Naomi wasn't happy she didn't dare to express her discomfort as long as she was spending time with Alvin.
It has been her prayers but Cynthia had other plans.
The ship was halfway across the sea when Naomi's phone rang.
" Excuse me please," she said taking a route to the deck for some privacy.
" I thought you have forgotten me now that you've achieved your goal"
" Aren't you enjoying yours? Came his response.
" Congratulations on your new identity"
" Thank you. Are you aware of Alvin's little son? He asked suddenly as she shrugged.
' no, Alvin doesn't have a son" she didn't know why but she couldn't tell him about Quinn knowing he wasn't his son but a replacement for his dead son.
" Are you sure?
" Yeah. Why are you asking?
" I want you to keep a close watch on him. See if he has a little boy. I think Kate's son is alive" Naomi froze with her hands trembling as she tried to steady the phone from falling then took lazy steps to see for herself.
" Hello? Naomi!!! David kept calling but her attention was on the little boy Alvin was feeding ice cream and gasped as she noticed the resemblance.
Quinn was a carbon copy of Alvin. With sleeky black hair like Kate's and the eyes, she muffled a sob in realization.
Kate's son was alive.
