Chapter 19
Six months later.
It was early in the morning; the mansion was dark as the night, it appeared that no living creature were awake…except for one little figure who quietly sneaked out of his room. Slowly he made his way down the long hall towards a certain room. Finally he reached it and with his little hand he reached up to turn the doorknob. The door cracked open and his small peered in at the presumable sleeping figure in the bed. A smile graced the young child's features and with careful steps he walked inside the room and towards the bed. As careful as he could, he crawled up into the bed and was just about to surprise the sleeping person, when he noticed something very important.
There was no sleeping person in the bed… There were just a bunch of pillows lying together under the covers. Suddenly the door to the bathroom opened and the person Gou wanted to surprise stepped out. He stood in trousers and was drying his hair with a towel.
“Papa” Gou said with a big smile, Kai didn't say anything, but continued to walk into the bed to find some clothes. Gou stood up and started to jump in the bed. “Papa…Guess what! I'm turning four soon” he said and held up four fingers for his father to see.
Kai smirked at his son carefree attitude, “You're turning four in a few days,” he stated while continuing to put out clothes. But Gou didn't seem affected by it; he jumped off the bed and landed gracefully on the floor.
“That's not vewy long.”
“Very”
Gou stared at Kai in confusion. Kai shook his head smirked to himself and then turned to Gou.
“Vewy is pronounced ve-ry,” he explained.
“Ve-wy” Gou tried to repeat. Kai shook his head at him and thought for a moment on how he should try to explain this in a way so that his son could understand it. Finally he came up with an idea. He crutched down in front of Gou.
“Gou, what does a tiger say?” He asked. Gou looked down at the floor. Gou putted his finger to the corner of his mouth and looked like he was pondering.
“Hmmmmmmmm” he said before turning to his Papa, “Grrrr?” he asked. Kai nodded with his head.
“Now change the `G' sound with the `ve' sound”.
Gou looked at his father before saying the word slowly.
“Ve-ry?” he said still looking at Kai. Kai gave him a small smile and nodded satisfied with his head.
“Say it again” he said.
“Very” Gou said this time a little faster.
Kai smirked, he was glad that his son was a fast learner, and hopefully that would someday come in handy for him.

Hilary smiled as she pulled up by Kai's mansion. She and Kai's arrangement had worked out perfectly so far. They would all eat together as a `normal family' every Friday night. Afterwards Kai would take Gou with him home and they would spend the entire weekend together. Everything was perfect…well, almost perfect. But Hilary's smiled faded as she walked up to the front door, she remembered one night two months ago when Kai, with Gou's help, persuaded her to go for a walk in one of the many parks in the capital.
Flash back
They two of them walked side-by-side, shoulder-by-shoulder. Gou had run ahead of them, looking and staring at everything with big curious ruby eyes.
Hilary smiled at the sight of her son. He was completely engrossed with all the new impression, looking and staring at everything that was different from what he had seen when they lived in the US, it was an amusing sight. Even Kai managed to crack a smile at the sight. They walked like that for a while.
“We should probably head back.” Hilary said and stopped, she turned to face Kai, “Believe me, you don't want to deal with Gou in the morning when he is grumpy” Hilary said almost laughing.
“Hnn” was the short reply and they continue walking. Then suddenly Kai abruptly stopped up making Hilary do the same. She turned to him and looked at with curios eyes. Kai then glared thoughtful at her.
"How long are you going to keep doing this?" he asked with that monotone voice of his.
Hilary stared at him a bit confused, "What do mean by that?" she asked. And for the first time in four years she saw Kai glaring at her with glimpse of anger in his eyes. He walked up close to her and started directly into her ruby eyes.
"How long are you going to keep doing this revenge crusade?" he sneered out.
"Excuse me!"
Kai snorted at her reply and shook his head at her before glaring at her once more.
"You heard me!" Kai said in a firm, but calm voice, "Hasn't your revenge on me gone far enough or is it that you're still not done with your punishment". Hilary answered him with the blank look on her face and it irritated him greatly, he grabbed by the shoulders and yanked her to him. "Ever since that dinner with Milo I have done nothing to cross you, in fact, I have done everything in my power to please you and still you refuse to give me another chance to prove myself to you." He ease his grip on her shoulders when she whined a little, the look in his eyes soften.
"Why?" he asked. Hilary lifted her hand to wipe some tears away that made it out of her eyes. She looked up at him with water filled eyes.
"I j-just can't" she stammered out," I-I can't t-take that risk Kai. I can't put Gou's happiness on the line. Is not that you aren't a good person; I know you are, but- but I believed it will be the best for Gou if he had someone else to look up to as well. Let's face it Kai, you are not the most socialized person to walk this earth and with that stunt you pulled at me four years ago, it makes me afraid that the same thing will happen with Gou."
Kai had at this point completely let her go of her shoulder and with an unreadable face..
"I see" he said curtly and turned his back to her, "Your right, we should head back"
Flash back end.

Vladimir led Hilary to the dinning room where Kai and Gou were eating breakfast. Gou grinned and leaped off his chair when he saw his mother.
"Mama Mama... Guess what! Papa taught me to say 'very'" Gou almost cried out in enthusiasm. Hilary pulled her soon-to-be four year-old into a hug.
"Oh that's very good Gou, but you know, I have some good news for you" she said smiling.
"The reason to why you are so early?" Kai retorted sarcastically. Hilary stuck her tongue at him and sat down with Gou at the breakfast table.
"No, the good news is that Walter is coming," she said to Gou who almost jumped out off his mother's lap.
"Grandpa is coming" he cried out happily. Hilary nodded to him and let him slide off her lap.
Kai looked questioning at Hilary, "Grandpa?"
Hilary smiled at him, "Yeah Gou thinks of Walter as his Grandpa, because Walter wanted Gou to regard him in that way"
Kai gave her a bored look.
"Anyway, Walter is coming both to celebrate Gou and because he wants to see how the business is getting along" Hilary paused before she continued, "Kai, I was wondering if you would mind Walter tagging along with us on Friday? You see, he leaves Saturday and-"
"Fine" Kai interrupted feeling irritated, but at the same time a bit relieved that Hilary hadn't cancel their 'family' dinner.
"Thank you Kai" Hilary said and smiled.
"Mama, do yu' want to see what Papa has taught me" Gou suddenly asked. Hilary smiled down at him.
"Of course I will" she said and followed him out into Kai's grand garden.
Left at the breakfast sat Kai all by himself. He leaned back in his chair. He didn't like this one bit. He didn't like that Walter McKinney was coming to town. That man could make both Hilary and Gou travel back to the US, without he, Kai, could do anything to stop it. As long as Hilary still had the full custody over Gou she could do whatever she wanted. But if he somehow could get joined custody over Gou, then first of all, he would be able to see his son and Hilary would have to stay here in Russia and not be able to leave Russia with their son, which in the big picture also meant that she wouldn't be able to leave...him.
And that would give him more time.
