"Orion Dadaaa! Take me back!" Jasper wailed, kicking against the big man's solid iron hold.
His curls bounced wildly as his little fists pounded against Orion's arm. "I don't wanna go away! Mamma needs me! She will be sad if I am not there!You don't know her. I do. She is saying she wants me gone but she doesn't mean it. She is being a Silly Billy.Just put me down…"
Orion clenched his jaw and kept walking, the muscles in his arms taut as steel. "Stop wriggling, pup. You will make this harder on both of us.You know these bones are old, don't you? Your Orion Dada is not getting any younger soon! Besides, you are one hell of a gentleman, my little fellow. My arms are already aching…I must ask you to stay still now! "
