Enjoy the next chapter

Marco sat on the couch in the living room while Oskar and Tom slept in his room and Star, Lilacia and Janna slept in Zach's room. Taking a deep breath, he leaned back with his phone in his hand and stared at it intently, "C'mon, ring…let me know my boy is o-"

"Marco?" he looked down and saw Star walking into the room, a tired, confused look crossing her face, "What are you still doing up? We've been partying all night,"

"I know," Marco sighed and shook his head as Star frowned and sat down next to him, "It's just…this is our first night in this state, I barely know you and your parents, Zach hasn't spent more than a couple of hours away from me and that was at a daycare center, I'm sorry if this sounds offensive but-"

"Marco, my mom knows how to care for a child, you have nothing to worry about, and if Zach were in any type of trouble, my parents would've called you," Marco looked at her and Star sighed as she shook her head, "I know you're worried about your son, and considering what happened before you moved to Florida, I don't blame you, but-"

"It's not just that…I'm also worried that Jackie, her parents, her siblings and my parents. I mean what if they learned I'm no longer in California? They'll look all over, they have friends in every state and-"

"And they'll be looking for a needle in a haystack, Marco," Star yawned and leaned up against Marco, closing her eyes, "Marco, the odds of them finding you and Zach are almost nonexistent, and even still, you have full custody over Zach after your girlfriend had a needle in her arm and your son tried to climb into an oven," Marco looked down and saw Star's chest rise and fall at an even pace.

Marco sighed and shook his head before wrapping an arm around Star and took a deep breath, "Yeah…you're right," looking down at his phone and frowned, "I should get some sleep," he yawned and closed his eyes before falling asleep.

Star and Marco walked across the street as the warmth of the sun hit their faces. Standing in front of the door, Marco got ready to knock when Star grabbed his wrist and shook her head, "Marco, this is my house too, and since I'm with you, you don't have to knock," opening the door, she pulled Marco inside.

The three looked up and the small child smiled before jumping up from the couch, "Dad!" Marco smiled as he picked up his 2-year-old son, "Hi dad,"

"Hey buddy, where you good for Mr. and Mrs. Butterfly?" Zach wordlessly nodded and Marco chuckled as he shook his head, "I'm sure you were, Zach. We'll be going home in a couple of minutes," he set Zach down and Zach took hold of his father's hand.

Marco sighed and looked at Star's parents as he shook his head, "Thanks again for watching him last night…and…if it's not too much trouble to ask, can you watch him during the week while I'm at-"

"Of course," Moon smiled, "We don't mind at all,"

Marco arched a brow and River chuckled, "Not at all, he's a fine young boy and a hoot to have around,"

"Uh…okay? Um…here," he dug in his pocket and pulled twenty dollars out before handing it to Moon, "Thanks again for watching Zach," Moon looked down at the money and Marco sighed, "When I used to trust people to watch my son, I paid them twenty dollars a day…and since you watched him for the entire night, I think it's fair if I pay you," Moon slowly reached up and took the money.

Picking his son up again, Marco took a deep breath and shook his head, "Well…we'll see you around," he looked at Zach and smiled, "Say goodbye to Mr. and Mrs. Butterfly and Miss Star," Zach looked up and waved and the family of three waved back before Marco turned and got ready to walk out the door.

"Marco," he stopped and looked back as Moon held out Zach's pillow and Marco chuckled before taking the pillow and nodded before walking out of the house.

Marco walked through the front door and set Zach down and Zach walked over to the couch and sat down. Marco took a deep breath and looked at Zach, "Did Mr. and Mrs. Butterfly feed you, Zach?" Zach smiled and nodded, "Good…we're going to be looking around the neighborhood today and see where the local park is, maybe Miss Star can come with us to help show us around, and maybe after we can get some ice cream,"

"I want chocolate," Marco smiled and nodded, "Dad?" Marco hummed and looked at his son in confusion, "Is Miss Star nice?" Marco nodded, "And…are you and Miss Star going to-"

"Uh…I don't think 2-year-old boys should be asking their fathers personal questions like that about their neighbors," Zach frowned and Marco walked over to him and rubbed the top of his head, "I know you're upset over a few things buddy, and I don't blame you, but you're far too young to be asking questions about me and our neighbor." Zach frowned and nodded, "Alright, how about I get you something to drink," Zach nodded again before Marco turned the TV on and walked into the kitchen.

Marco sighed as he looked out the window and shook his head, "What am I going to do? I can't lie to Zach, but I'm not going to tell him something that'll upset him," he dug in his pocket and pulled out a picture of him and a platinum blonde with a baby held in between them and he narrowed his eyes, "But he's safe and away from you and your disgusting habits," he shoved the picture back into his pocket and walked back into the living room.

As always enjoy everyone and please let me know what you all think.
