Never Judge

"Your mom is my sister, her name is Julia." Jonathan slowly explained to the little boy, dreading the question that he knew would come next.

"Auntie Julia!" Yoyo said excitedly. "Auntie Julia is very pretty."

"Yes, my sister is." Jonathan said with a weak smile. "Growing up a lot of boys like her. That's why Dominic is so good looking."

"Dominic, you look very much like your Uncle Jonathan." Veronica commented as she looked at her son. 

"Can I treat him like my uncle?" The little boy asked. "I don't think he wanted to see me go. Can I treat him like I treat Uncle Eric?"

Miguel couldn't help but laugh at his son's adorable reaction. The little boy was worried about their feelings towards Jonathan.

"Dominic, Jonathan is our friend." Veronica told her son. "He is a nice man and we know that he cares about you a lot."

"We want you to decide who you want to be part of your life, Dominic." Miguel said as he urged the little boy. "If you want him to be part of your life, then of course your mother and I would be more than happy."

"Uncle Eric." Dominic said as he searched the group of adults for the actor.

He quickly spotted the man standing next to his girlfriend, Katerina. 

Dominic ran up and hugged his leg. 

"Please don't get mad." Dominic cried, making Eric laugh. 

He immediately picked Dominic up and hugged him tightly. Over the past few months he had come to love Dominic. 

Miguel and Veronica would let him spend time with the little boy, especially when Miguel had an operation and Veronica had a meeting to attend to.

"Dominic, I love you no matter what." Eric promised. "Jonathan is your uncle too, you can have a lot of uncles and we will all love you."

"Uncle Eric!" Dominic squealed as Eric hugged him again.

Suddenly Dominic froze when he realized something, a question that he should have asked.

"Uncle Jonathan?" Dominic said slowly as he turned to look at the other man while still being carried by Eric.

"Yes, Dominic?" Jonathan replied.

"Where is my mom? My bio- bi-" Dominic tried to say the word biological but he kept stumbling. 

Cedric guessed that he was too scared to ask, because he had heard the young boy say much more complicated words with full confidence.

"Your biological mother? My sister?" Jonathan asked. 

"Yes." Dominic nodded his head as Eric carried him over to Jonathan. 

"Well. . ." Jonathan hesitated as he looked at Adrianna, he had no idea how to tell the little boy that his mother had been kidnapped because of his biological father.

"Auntie Adrianna?" Dominic asked as he looked at his friend's mother.

"Dominic, the thing is, some very bad people have your mom." Adrianna told him with a frown. "That's why your Uncle Jonathan spent the night here, because we've been trying to get her free."

"Will you be able to help her?" Jonathan asked as he looked at Adrianna. 

She couldn't give him an answer, Adrianna didn't know if they would be able to get Julia back. It all depended on the one man they couldn't work with, Lucius Ting.

"Uncle Cedric!" Dominic cried out. "You can do anything right, you can get her out. You can save her. Yoyo said you can do anything!" 

"Dominic. . ." Cedric said with a sigh as she walked over to the little boy and gently patted his head. 

"Uncle Cedric, please." Dominic begged.

"Dominic, you are a smart kid and I will never lie to you." Cedric told him. "It will be hard to get your mom back, but we are trying, we are all trying." He said as he tried to reassure the little boy. 

"Why? Why is it hard to get her back?" Dominic asked.

"Some very bad people have her." Cedric explained.

"Are they hurting her?" He asked.

"No, they are treating her quite nicely, but there is something that they want in exchange for her." Cedric told the little boy.

"If they want money I have my allowance, can you help me uncle?" Dominic asked quite naively. 

At this moment, Cedric remembered that he was a scared little boy. No matter how smart or mature he was, he was still a child.

He may have Veronica and Miguel as his parents now, but he knew he had another set that he loved and cared for deep down, despite the fact that he had been given away.

"They don't want money, Dominic. They want your dad, not Miguel, but your biological father. They want us to give him to them." Cedric said.

"Please find my dad, maybe he can help her. Maybe he can help set her free." Dominic said as he cried in Eric's arms.

"Dominic, we already found him, but it will take some time to convince him to help us." Cedric told the little boy with a frown.

"Uncle Ray, you are good at persuading people, please help Uncle Cedric." Dominic begged.

"Little boy, it's not that easy." Ray said as his eyes reflected how sad he was that he couldn't help.

Dominic's cries filled the room, breaking everyone's hearts.

"Do you know who my dad is? I'll talk to him, I'll beg him." Dominic asked Jonathan.

Jonathan bit his lip as he looked at the little boy. As much as he wanted to tell Dominic who his father was, he knew that it wouldn't help if Dominic found out.

"Dominic, we know who your dad is, and we are just trying to figure out a way to contact him." Cedric said, saving Jonathan for the difficult decision of telling his nephew.

Jonathan mouthed his thanks to Cedric, to which he simply responded with a nod.

"Dominic, we will do our best to help Julia, don't worry." Miguel said with a sad smile. 

As much as he hated to admit it, Dominic calling out and crying for his biological parents somewhat made the doctor sad.

He knew it was only natural, but these people had given him away and didn't care to even look for him.

Then Miguel suddenly realized something, Lucius Ting had been spotted several times outside of Dominic's and Yoyo's school.

What if he wasn't looking for Yoyo, what if he knew that Dominic was there too?
