Under a tree Sabastian was enjoying the cool shade provided by the tree a perfect escape from the sun while reading a book. The leaves above dance gently in the breeze so is his hair.
This place is Sabastian favourite place. It was introduced by Vivienne to him on his third birthday.

"Happy 3th birthday my wonderful child! Watching you grow is my greatest joy. May your life be filled with endless laughter and love" said Vivienne with a smile and kiss his forehead.
"Thank you mama" he smile back

Sabastian was happy being wish on his birthday and his parents always being so good to him
"Today we are going to take you to my favourite place "

"What are you both whispering about "Vincent ask
"Nothing" reply Vivienne with a smile
"Were you both planning to leave me behind "
Vivienne pretend to be suprise and reply"how did you know"
Sabastian added "yes how did you know what we were talking about"
"I knew it my wife and son don't love me anymore" Vincent pretend to be angry
Vivienne being Vivienne "i know you look cute when you pretend to be angry like this but if you are going to keep on being angry we are leaving you behind and then don't complain" said with a teasing smile.
Now Sabastian was use to this, his parents teasing each other or playing with him without any care of the world he himself now join in there teasing by taking side of either Vincent or Vivienne and Vincent always getting flustered on Vivienne complement or teasing
Sabastian strach out his hand"dad please carry me"
Vincent gladly accept his offer and carry him and teasingly ask Vivienne "should I carry you as well"
"No thank you"
They were out of the mension which made Sabastian curious if it's not library then where are we going?
"Ok from here you have to keep your eyes closed"
It was the entrance to a small forest
After walking for about 10 minutes
"Are you ready to open your eyes Sabas"
"Yes mama" his was excited and at the same time curious about what was the place going to look like
"Now slowly open your eyes" said Vincent slowly recovering his hand for his eyes
When Sabastian look at the scenary in front of him he was speachless
The scene was enchanting. A sparkling field of flowers stretched out like a vibrant carpet, dotted with variety of flowers in different colours. The blossoms sway gently in the breeze, their sweet scent mingling with the fresh air. At the edge of the field, a lake glisten under the sun, it's surface reflection the clear blue sky and the surrounding greenery.
It was not a flower season but there were a lot of flowers still blooming attracting butterflies.
Looking at Sabastian Vivienne said "you have the same reaction as your dad"
Sabastian look at her with a somewhat shy look
Vivienne walk in front and said "welcome to my paradise" jokingly
"No matter how many times I came here it's always so mesmerizing " said Vincent
"Ofcourse it will be I'm the one who made this paradise"
Sabastian gets down in order to take a closer look as it was something he has never seen it was like straight out of fantasy.
"Sabas now the main part starts " saying that Vincent and Vivienne hold Sabastian hand on both sides after walking for a while they reached under a tree where there was already a picnic carpet was laid down and food basket was also prepared.
On that day the family of three spends whole day together cutting cake, making flower garlands, and riding boats. That how his third birthday ends.
Vincent approach Sabastian who was emerge with reading when Vincent saw what book he was reading he remember himself when he realised he was gonna be a father.
"Bastian"
"Yes dad " he look up to his father
" Let's go the marchant are here"
"They are already here let's go"
Both father and son were excited to decorate the room of their new member .
The day went by. Both the father and son buy almost all the products introduced by the marchant for babies.
Latter that night
Vincent enter their room in which Vivienne asked "has he fallen asleep" in which Vincent reply "yes, he must have gotten tried after all the busy afternoon"
"Why"
"Today he fall asleep before I even started to read him a story"
"Yes he was so excited about everything"
"Do you know what book was Bastian reading today when I went to pick him up"
"What book" she ask curiously
"How to be a good role model for your younger sibling"
"Really"
"Yes"
Vivienne burst out laughing and said
"Do you remember you as well read a book titled 'ways to be a great father for your children' totally you both are the definition of like father like son" Vivienne laugh to her heart contained
After calming down she added" he will be a great brother "
"Yeah he will be"
Even though Vincent was little embarrass being teased by his wife he was still happy that behind her laughter he was the reason.
He love seeing her happy, and for her to be happy forever he was willing to do everything.
On the other side,
It was already midnight Sabastian woke up. Stearing at the ceiling lost in thought memories of past life flooded back.
In my previous life, I often dream of a warmth parents and a lovely younger sibling. Now I'm going to get what I have always wish for. I'm very happy with my life now.
Suddenly, a distant memory of him talking to his roommate came into his mind "you ask how did I got here "
"Listen carefully I'll not say this again even if you asked again I got abandoned by my parents as soon as my younger sibling was born i don't even know their gender i feel foolish for being happy when I was eagerly waiting for my sibling to be born " he cried bitterly and after that day he didn't talk much.
What if my parents also stop loving me after fighting with his thoughts for a while. He jumped out of his bed and ran to his parents room which was not far from his room. Maybe it was his body instinct which doesn't listen to him.
He knocked on the door, unsure of what he was doing.
A male cold voice reply "yes who is it at this hour"
As soon as he heard the voice he got scared what if dad always talk me in that voice
With His voice slightly trembling he replied "it's me dad"
As soon as he said that a rushing sound was heard from inside and the door open
"What happen Bastian" Vincent as worriedly
As soon as he heard his worried voice he started to shed tears Vincent hug him immediately at this point Vivienne also woke up and get worried seeing him cry.
But she didn't show panic instead she ask Vincent to bring Sabastian on their bed.
Vincent make him sit in the middle
"Sabas what happened did you have a nightmare" in which he thought for a while and nodded his head
"Can I ask what was your nightmare" Vincent ask with a voice as carring as possible
He hasitated for a while in which Vivienne said "if it's hard you don't need to say it out loud just remember that we will always love you"
After listening to her he shake his head as no he wanted them to know what was troubling him while waiting for him to speak both the parents didn't rush him instead waited patiently for him to be comfortable to speak up by himself
A while latter he took a deep breath before he finally started to talk "I had a dream that after my younger sibling is born you both don't want me anymore" while saying that he hung his head low and tears started to welled up in his eyes again.
His parents were speachless and exchange a glance with each other, then Vivienne smiled softly "Sabas look at me" as soon as he look up tears stream down "shhh it's alright" she wiped his tears gently and hug him "baby, that could never happen. You are so important to us. Even when your younger sibling is born we will love you as much as we love you now"
After listening to her he look up at Vincent and he nodded in response and said
"You are our first and we will always make time for you. You are going to be a great big brother and we want you to be part of everything"
As he listened to his parents words he felt a wave of relief wash over him "really?" He asked softly his voice slightly trembling because of crying
"Absolutely" Vivienne assured him. "We will have family time, just like we always do. You'll always be our special boy"
He smile and said "Okay" feeling the warmth of their love wrapped around him. He added "I can't wait to be a big brother" with a new found determination filling him in.
In which his parents join in "we neither and for that we have to sleep so that the day will goes by as soon as possible"
Sabastian got up to go back to his room but was stopped by Vivienne "where are you going"
With a confused look he replied "to my room"
You will sleep here with us tonight and before he could respond Vincent already lead him on the bed.
That night they talk, laugh, tease, reminisce about past and make plans for the future. On the next day they slept in till the afternoon.
The morning was little noisy and chaotic as Sabastian was not in his room.
