Jason opened his eyes and grinned wide when he noticed Casey standing before his bed. „Hey, daddy.“
„Hello, my son.“ When he called the little boy like that, his heart always started to beat faster. My son! Oh, how much he loved him. But it was still so new. Even if Jason had been living with him and Zeke for almost a year already, it had been a long way to get permission to adopt him. „How did you sleep tonight?“
„No nightmares. I dreamed about a reindeer. It was living in our backyard.“
„Oh. That sounds great.“ It did indeed; every night without a nightmare was a good night. Jason was still dealing with the aftermath of a much too hard start into life.
„It was a very friendly one; I could even ride on it. Can we have a reindeer one day? That would be fun.“
Casey smiled at the excitedly sparkling eyes of the little boy. „You know, only Santa Claus has a reindeer to visit all the children at Christmas. And I guess you are not Santa Claus.“
Jason shrugged, disappointed. „I am not!“
„But maybe we can adopt a cat or a dog from the animal shelter.“ Casey knew Zeke would happily agree; how often had they already talked about how great it would be to have a dog around? „Would you like that?“
„It would be my dog?“
„Why not? I guess with a bit of help, you are old enough to take good care of him.“
The eyes started to beam again. „A dog is much better than a reindeer. I can play with him all day and at night he can sleep in my bed. Chase away the nightmares.“
„Well.“ Casey laughed. „Maybe not in your bed. But we can place a comfy blanket beside it for you new friend.“
