Chapter 42
SIDONNIE'S POV
“Mama, park!” Mason's eyes sparkled with excitement as he tugged at his tiny
sneakers, struggling to put them on.
I smiled down at him, kneeling to help. “Yes, sweetheart, we're going to the park!
Are you ready?”
“Can I ride the slide? Can I ride the swings, mommy?” He exclaimed with his
enthusiasm being contagious. He was fidgeting as I pulled his sneakers on.
Following Athena's words, I decided to take Mason out for fun as I've been
spending too much time working. It was a mother—son date this time.
“Of course you can, baby. We'll go on the slide and swing, just like last time,” I
replied, finally securing the Velcro on his sneakers.
“What color of slide do you want to go on today?”
He pondered for a moment, his brow furrowed in concentration.
“I wanna go on the red slide, mama.
“Red slide it is,” I agreed, standing up and reaching for his favorite little blue
jacket. “Now, let's get your jacket on. It's a bit chilly outside. What do we do,
baby?”
Mason extended his arms, wiggling with impatience. “Arms up,
Mama!”
I chuckled, sliding the jacket over his tiny arms. “Good job, Jakey! Now, where's
your favorite toy? Do you want to bring Mr. Teddy to the park?”
“Mr. Teddy!” Mason dashed off, returning with a slightly worn teddy bear almost
as big as him.
“Great choice!” I grinned, helping him clutch Teddy securely. “Now, let's grab your
water bottle. We need to stay hydrated, especially if we're going to play a lot.
Make sure to drink some every now and then.”
He nodded, his face serious as he held out his hands for the water bottle. “Ok,
mommy. I'll drink. Now, can we go?” He whined, making me chuckle.
“You're one smart boy, my love,” I praised, handing him the bottle. “Okay, Mason,
we're all set. We can go now. Are you excited to go to the park?”

Mason's eyes lit up again, and he nodded vigorously. “Yeah, let's go now,
mommy.”
I scooped him up, my heart swelling with love. “Let's make it the best park day
ever, my little adventurer!
And with that, we headed toward the door, ready for a day of laughter and play at
the park.
The sky was a canvas of blue, inviting us to savor the simple beauty of the day.
Birds. sang joyous melodies, creating a soundtrack for our fun trip.
We strolled along a path shaded by ancient trees, their leaves different shades of
green and brown swaying in the gentle breeze. Jake's eyes sparkled in awe at
the scenery around us.
He was eager to run into a pile of leaves and frolick but I held on tight to him and
directed our steps.
As we walked, the distant murmur of a lively marketplace beckoned us. We
followed the alluring scent of freshly baked bread and the vibrant hues of market
stalls. A bustling scene unfolded before us, filled with people absorbed in the
beauty of the present.
Mason squealed and jumped up, his infectious joy spreading.
“Mommy I want cupcake,” he pointed to a cute little bakery with mouthwatering
wares displayed. I shook my head.
“No, baby, you just had breakfast. Maybe later.”
He poured and stared longingly back at the bakery as we walked past. Mason
had the biggest sweet tooth and I always tried my best not too indulge him too
much.
We passed people seated under cute little striped umbrellas, savoring the rich
aroma of coffee and engaged in lively conversation. Laughter echoed as we
passed.
As we strolled down the lively street toward the park, Mason clung to his teddy
bear, his wide eyes absorbing the vibrant scene around him. The sounds of his
tiny sneakers against the pavement was almost drowned out by the buzz of city
life.
“Mama, look, there's a duck on his shirt!” Mason pointed excitedly at one of the
men in the chattering groups under the striped umbrellas.
“Yes, sweetheart, it's a yellow ducky,” I agreed, a fond smile playing on my lips.
“Maybe I'll get you one.”

Mason nodded. “He’s gonna be friends with Mr. Teddy.”
As we neared the park entrance, the scent of freshly cut grass mingled with the
tantalizing aroma of street food from a nearby vendor.
“Mama, what's that smell?” Mason wrinkled his nose in curiosity.
“That, my little explorer, is the smell of yummy food! Maybe after playing, we can
grab a little snack.” I suggested, my eyes scanning the colorful food stalls.
The park unfolded before them, a place of greenery and joy. Children’s laughter
rang out as they approached the playground, and Mason's eyes widened at the
sight of the towering red slide he had chosen earlier.
“Red slide, Mama! Let's go!” Mason squirmed in excitement, eager to dive into
the play.
I chuckled, setting him down as he dashed towards the playground. “Go on, have
fun! I'll be right here, watching.”
As Mason climbed and slid, I found a nearby bench under the shade of a
sprawling tree. I watched with a mixture of amusement and pride as he fearlessly
navigated the play structures, occasionally glancing back to make sure I was still
there.
The sun painted patterns on the ground as we lost track of time in the simple joy
of the park. Me with a book I brought and Jake on the park. The bustling city
seemed distant, and in that moment, it was just a mother and her son, savoring
the magic of a perfect day at the park.
After tireless adventures, I decided it was time to grab that snack I promised
Jake.
“Mason baby,” I called out to him as he played with the jungle gym. “Let's go get
a
snack.”
Like a lightning bolt Jake stopped what he was doing and dashed over to me.
“Can we get hotdogs, mommy?”
“Of course, baby.”

frantically scanned the bustling playground.
“Mason? Mason!” I called, my voice edged with anxiety.

A sense of desperation fueled my movements as I darted through the colorful
maze of slides and swings, calling out for my son. Worried faces of other parents
mirrored her own concern, but none had seen Jake. The playground, once a
place of joy, now became the source of my worry.
“Jake!” I screamed, my voice almost going hoarse.
“Donnie!” a woman's voice called out, and she turned to see a fellow parent
pointing towards Jake.

Racing toward him, I scooped him up in my arms, relief and fear mingling as my
heart still raced from the severity of what I have just experienced.
“Jake, baby, where did you go?” I exclaimed, my voice a mix of relief and
reproach.
“He wanted to swing,” the stranger explained, a warm smile on his face. “I saw
him alone, so I kept an eye on him until you came back.”
Gratitude flooded my heart as I hugged my son tighter. “Thank you,” I managed
to say, her voice shaky. The stranger nodded and continued on his way,
disappearing into the crowd. But there was something wrong with the stranger
with the way he was dressed.
