The CEO’s Perfect Mistake

Ashton's POV

Watching Axel on the front porch made me smile, and I felt so excited to take him into my arms; I could tell Megan missed our son so much since she got out of the car hastily without waiting for me to open the door of the passenger's side. I followed her right away, and I climbed out of the car while watching my son run towards Megan.

My happiness tripled when Axel came running towards me when he saw me get out of the car, and when our son hugged me, I couldn't express the satisfaction I felt. And I picked him up and twirled him around since I knew he would love it, and my son didn't disappoint me when I heard his laughter in the air, and my son filled my heart with gladness.

Then when I put him down on the ground, he came to his mom and hugged her. I couldn't believe there was this kind of happiness as I watched the only woman I love and our son before my eyes. I couldn't stop myself from taking them into my arms even if Axel doesn't know about me yet, and it feels so lovely to have them secured in my arms, and I saw Axel raise his head when he felt my presence.

Axel smiled at me, and I could see the worries on his face when he looked at Megan, but my girlfriend was smiling at him, and Axel's fear vanished right away when Megan nodded her head at him, and I knew it was to tell our son that everything is alright. 

We were in that position for a long time until Megan released Axel from her embrace, and she asked us to come inside the house, and our son held my hand in his right hand while he was holding Megan's palm on his left hand.

I saw Clara watching us with happiness all over her face, and she widely opened the main door for us. The moment we got inside the living room, Megan faced Axel, and she bent down on one knee so she would be meeting our son on eye level.

"Axel, mommy has something important to tell you." She said, and I could feel that she felt nervous, and I couldn't deny I was feeling the same way.

"What is it, mom?" Axel asked, and Megan smiled at him as she caressed his head."You asked me once who is your real father, and now I want to tell you, everything son." She answered, and I could see Axel's face lit up, and he stole a glance at me and smiled.

"I want you to know that your uncle Ashton is your real father." She softly said, and our son looked at me in the eyes with happiness on his face, and then he walked closer to me, and I felt Axel's cute arms hug my waist, and he was crying, and I also got down on my knees and dried his tears.

"Hey, are you not happy that I am your dad?" I asked while I was still wiping his face, and my son shook his head, and he remained speechless as he continued to cry, and I pulled him closer to me, and I carried him, and I sat down on the sofa and put him on my lap while he was still sobbing. Megan sat beside me, and she was caressing Axel's back.

"Axel, buddy, I am sorry if I haven't told you about your dad sooner," Megan said, and Axel looked at her.

"It is okay, Mom; I am so happy that my dreams come true." He said, and Megan raised her eyebrows.

"What was your wish, son?" She asked.

"I had been wishing that uncle Ashton was my father." He responded, and I could no longer contain my tears as they flowed down on my cheeks, and Megan smiled with tears in her eyes as well.

"You should call me dad from now on, Axel," I said, and my son beamed at me. Megan put her head on my shoulder while she curled her arm around Axel, and it felt so lovely to have them in my life. I couldn't wait to bring them to Astikoz, and I knew it would take time to convince Megan to meet my parents once again.

I am aware that she hated my father so much, and I hope one day she will forgive my dad, and she will also give forgiveness to her parents. But I am sure she will like it if I bring them to my grandpa's estate, and I have so many plans for them, and I am excited to do all of those things with Megan and our son.

"Dad, can we play football?" Axel broke the silence, and Megan was laughing.

"I know that he will ask you to play football right away." My girl said.

"Okay, son, get your ball now," I said, and he climbed out of my lap right away, and he was running towards the staircase while his mom was shouting at him to be careful.

"Thank you, Meg, for telling Axel right away," I said as I cupped her face, and I could see the happiness on her beautiful face.

"Of course, I couldn't wait another day to tell him everything, and his reactions made me feel so happy." She responded.

"Me too, Meg, I don't know how to express the emotions I have right now; I felt so happy that I wanted to shout and tell the world you are mine, and we have a son," I said, and her sweet smile made me ache for her once again, and I know we have all the time now to make love with each other.

I don't want to go home yet, I want to stay with them and be with my family, and my excitement of having Megan as my wife was making me feel so thrilled, and I couldn't wait to buy her a ring, and I will plan a grandest proposal; and in order to do my plan, I needed my sister's help.

I couldn't wait to watch her walk down the aisle, and I was smiling from ear to ear as I was thinking about our future. I hugged Megan when Axel returned, and I could see my son's happiness. Megan got up, and she caressed Axel's face.

"You should be careful, okay?" Megan said, and Axel nodded his head.

"Yes, mom, I will; Dad will be playing with me; I am sure nothing will happen because dad will protect me, right, dad?" He asked me, and I was beaming at them.

"Of course, don't worry, Meg, I will take care of our son," I said as I got up. I gave her a quick peck on the lips before I took Axel's hand, and we walked out from the living room; and it felt so lovely to hear my son call me dad, and I couldn't stop myself from calling him son since it feels so good to say it over and over again.

"Do you still love my mom?" Axel's question took me off guard.

"Of course, I love your mother so much, son; why do you ask?" I asked him, and he gave me a shy smile.

"Please don't tell my mom all about this, but sometimes I found her crying, and I could tell she was lonely, and I think it was because she was missing you." He said, and I could feel the piercing of my heart.

"Axel, you are still young, but I know you are mature for your age, I made a mistake, and this time I will do my best to make your mom happy, and I promise she will never get lonely; again," I said, and he grinned at me.

"Are you delighted that I am your father?" I asked.

"Yes, and I can't wait to tell my classmates you are my dad, and I am sure Kim will be happy," Axel answered.

"Who is Kim?" I asked curiously, and my son's face lit up, and I could tell Kim must be his best friend.

"She is my best friend, dad." He proudly said, and I got it right.

"Wow, she must be nice and pretty," I said, and he nodded his head with a wide grin on his face.

I started throwing the football ball at him, and I am impressed that my son is good at catching the ball; and I am so proud he is my child, and I could see his eagerness and the excitement on his face while he was playing with me, and there is no doubt he is like me, and I couldn't stop myself from grinning.

Axel's enthusiasm in playing the game reminded me of my determination to play this kind of sport when I was his age, and it was grandpa Henry who taught me everything since I knew dad didn't want me to play football from the very start. And I will make sure to with Axel every step of the way, and I want to give him my full support.

"Hey, guys, it is time for a break; you should take a snack." I heard Megan's voice behind me, and when I looked around, she took my breath away when she was walking towards us wearing a knee-length sleeveless dress, and I could see her flawless arms and legs, and the gratification that I saw on her face was enough to make me feel so complete.

She had a towel in her hand, and she wiped the sweat on Axel's face and arms, and I wanted to kiss her again when she came closer to me. I could smell her sweet scent, and when she wiped the bead of sweat on my face, I couldn't stop myself from staring at her angelic face while I quickly put my arms around her waist, and I heard our son giggled as he watched us being so close with each other.

Megan and I both erupted into laughter when Axel squeezed himself between us, and we both hugged our son; it was a beautiful day for all of us that I didn't want to end, and I am so grateful for being with them, and I couldn't express in words the happiness I have in my heart.. It was more than the gratification I felt when I became a professional football player; being with Megan and Axel is all I ever wanted, and now that I have them, I will do everything I can to keep them safe and secure.
