Baby Daddy

“What?, you cannot help me?”the girl snorted.

“No. I only fight evil people and protect the world. I’m afraid I don’t save food. After all, it is not evil. It’s the stuff we eat to hold our stomachs up.”James smiled.

“Ugh.. just say you cannot help.”she rolled her eyes.

For a child around four, probably, she is sure a bit rude.

She spun around swiftly and left with a huff.

“Sailor moon, can you give me a hug?”the next was a chubby boy.

James hummed then pursed his lips together.

“Are people in your world depriving you of that?”he teased.

The boy unexpectedly nodded.

“My parents are always busy. I only stay alone with my nanny and all she does was do the work she was paid for.”he bowed his head, despondently.

James’s brows went up and he sighed before pulling him into a hug.

He spent some minutes patting his hair with the boy nuzzling up to him.

The boy broke the hug after some minutes and grinned.

“Now, i believe you’re truly the protector of the world.”he giggled then left.

James chuckled, feeling some feelings he thought was right.

Maybe pretending to be Sailor Moon wasn’t that bad, after all.

“Hey. Would you like to see if I can produce five of your fighting moves simultaneously with you?”a smart girl asked him.

James let’s out a chortle.

“That sounds like a business, dear. I am an heroine, not a business woman.”

“That is indeed me trying to please the both parties. If I get your fighting moves, I would become the princess of this session.”

James’s eyes twinkled.

How is that pleasing the both parties?.

He scratched the back of his neck, anxiously.

He was keeping that spot for Eugenia.

“Huh?”the girl raised a brow at him.

The other kids cheered, telling him to give her a chance.

James nodded slowly, his intestines turning violently in his stomach.

He stood up and sighed.

The spotlight was switched to the usual white.

“Are you ready?”he questioned the young girl.

“Better than ever.”she massaged her neck.

Well, this girl seems to mean the real deal.

One other way, James just hope she wouldn’t sabotage his plan.

He was almost close.. almost close..

He’d planned to crown Eugenia the princess then tell her she would get to have a long talk session with him, unlike other kids and get to see his exclusive sword fight also.

From there, he would sneak her out through the safe route he had navigated through beforehand.

This darn gurl just had to be.. what would he even call that?

He doesn’t remember telling the kids the princess or prince were going to get a box of chocolates so why is she going–

James swallowed hard.

He is sailor moon.

Since they all like him, no, her, well, sh! t!

He doesn’t even know what to think anymore.

His brain has suddenly plunged into a state of haziness.

A bass drop beat blared into the air as sailor moon and the girl started to show their moves.

James was bewildered that she was getting his moves.

The other children also watched in suspense, hoping the girl whom they’ve seen as their representative would get all her moves.

At the fifth move, the music stopped playing, creating a more suspenseful atmosphere.

The girl got that right too and the room shook with ululations.

James rolled his eyes internally.

He should have changed a step in his move right there but that would only make him appear as a cheater.

He is not sailor Moon so he cannot afford to taint her name too.

“I’m actually impressed that you’ve been grabbing all what you have been watching in the television. What is your name, little Sailor Mooner?”James crotched down before her.

“I go by the name – Elizabeth. You could call me Lizzy, Beth or Elie. The one that suite you best.”sensations of excitement were evident in her eyes.

“To my little people! Here, we already have our princess! All we need now is our prince, then our king and queen of the castle.”James enunciated.

“I have to get to the show, goddamn it!”Maya, the real actress behind sailor moon yelled angrily at the pilots that told her the plane has suddenly ran out of fuel and so, their journey would be delayed, if not, for two hours or more.

They’d to do a quick landing at the nearest airport and its refueling station had ran out of fuel due to demand spikes.

“This is not the first time we would be going on a show! You both have been with me since, so, how come you’re so forgetting to have forgotten to refill the tank!”she flared up.

“We are sorry, ma’am. We would try to get this solved as soon as we can.”one of the pilots replied.

Maya ate her lips, anxiously whilst tapping her legs on the floor.

“Get me transferred to another plane.”

“That cannot happen, ma’am.”

Her eyes flew up at him.

“Why so?”she scoffed.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.

“I’m afraid most of the available planes would have been filled up, ma’am.”

“I have money, I will spend! I don’t like keeping my little fans waiting!”

“Ma’am, I do hope you would try to understand. Most of the airplanes are ready to take off. I..”

“Geez.. you said most! That means you still think there might be an available few! Go find out and get me onboard.”

“Me! Me! Me!”the children’s voice pervaded the hall.

“We will see to that. Let’s continue. What would you like Sailor Moon to do for you today?”he went on a crouch before the next girl that came in.

“Sailor moon, i–i want you to defend me. My friends are bullying because I’m ugly.”a tear rolls out of her eyes.

James cannot help but notice her brown eyes that reminded him of Katherine again..

Is this a sign?.

Is Katherine dead?

He snapped himself back to reality and gave his nose a quick poke.

“You’ve got eyes where one could get lost easily. Your cheeks are well boned and beautiful. Your zero shaped mouth is enough to zero those people’s worthless thoughts about you. You’re beautiful, dear, in your own way. Start seeing yourself as a beauty queen, only then would you get others to see you that way. Don’t give in to their malicious mischiefs, because they are only envious of your pretty face.”he uttered, soothingly.

The kid nod her head gently before mincing the words out of her mouth.

“I am beautiful!”

Then, louder,

“I am beautiful!”she squealed before getting off the stage.

James spotted Eugenia three kids away from him and took a deep breath in.

“Sailor Moon, my mom thinks I am useless because i can’t do simple workings of mathematics. Help..”a kid cries.

“Uhmm.. how about I teach you some techniques on how to learn your formulas?. If you know them, you would know how to solve the questions. I will teach you that later.”James smiles.

The kid nodded before moving away.

“Sailor, a missile has just been launched in a building where ten adults and five kids are. Find a way to save them!”a girl yelps.

James sprang up.

“Sailor Moon to the rescue!”he rushed out of the hall and the children convulsed in laughter.

Ten minutes later, he came back with fake sweats all over his face.

“Mission accomplished! All the people has been saved and the injured among them has been taken to the hospital.”he said to the girl.

“Attagirl, Sailor Moon.”she winked at him.

“Oh, give me an high five, we did this together.”they both slammed their palms together.

“So, right now, we have more kids left. It’s better to do this now. Tell me your worries and after solving them, I would ask you a question about me. If you get all of them correctly, then, you’re our queen, if you are girl. If you’re a boy and you get all correctly, you would be our king. If you’re a boy but you missed some points, you would be our prince.”

The rest of the kids giggled while the one that had came on stage before huffs.

He asked what the first three kids of two boys and a girl before Eugenia wanted.

He solved their problems and asked them questions about the name of the series in his movie, the five words he usually says when fighting but none of them got it right.

Eugenia stepped forward into the light and smiled shyly.

James’s heart was throbbing fastly against his chest.

“What would you like Sailor Moon to do for you today?”he managed not to stutter.

“I would like to answer your questions so you will know I am a big fan of yours.”she giggled.

“Hm, let’s see if you truly are one then. What are the five wor-”

“i. will. save. the. world. even. if. it. costs. my last. breath.”

“Well, five?”

“That’s what you always say but no way that’s a five words sentence!”Eugenia replied.

James nodded slowly.

He asked her another two questions and she got it right again.

Well, he is not surprised since he has been told she likes Sailor a lot. Plus, she gave her less complicated questions.

He rose up to his feet.

“We have a queen, kids.”he remarked.

The light changed to many colors, swirling around the girl with a soft beat playing.

Behind Eugenia, down at the stage, he saw Alessandro staring at him coldly.

O.. okay?..
