Chapter Ninety Seven

Nina’s POV

“I can clearly remember a time in Paris that you said you would like to name your daughter Anne which sounds like the combination of our names ‘Aiden’ and ‘Nina’….what do you think ?” Asked Aiden sounding excited

“Annabelle sounds like a sweet name for a beautiful girl” I said, loving how the ‘belle’ made the name sound a lot more pleasant to the ears.

“Annabelle Aiden Vincenzo, “ he said, cradling our little girl who looked like a small bundle of joy in his arms.

“What about the baby boy?” Asked Hazel with her camera , she is always recording everything as long as she is present.

“When you were sleeping, your father and I spoke and we have come up with a name from both our roots “ said Aiden

“Oh wow , look who is suddenly besties with my father “ I cooked. Dr Ambrose is a charismatic man and he sure gets along with everyone except my mother.

“I have to find a way to charm my father in-law somehow “ he said and I didn’t know the words.

“Father in-law ?” I asked , my heart suddenly beating fast. Aiden and I didn’t talk about getting back together nor did we talk about getting married.

“Alexander Aiden Vincenzo Will be his name, Alexander is the Latin variant of the Greek name Alexandros, meaning "defender of men." The name is most famously associated with Alexander the Great, 4th-century BCE king of Macedonia in Greece, and one of history's most powerful military commanders and I believe that my boy will grow up to be a powerful Lycan King that will protect his people and restore peace to both the vampires and the werewolf …” said Aiden while looking at baby Alexander who was busy stretching his legs while sleeping, it’s been two days only and he is already actively kicking his legs.

“It’s a thoughtful name , now we will be faced with another trouble “ I said with an exaggerated sigh

“What’s wrong Nina? Don’t you like the name ?” Aiden sounded concerned . I took a long gulp of my pepper soup before I answered him.

“Which of these names are we going to call him at home ,Alex or Xander ?” I asked

“Xander sounds like a strong name for my nephew “ said Eros with a nod, it feels like a silent recognition. He seems to have accepted me as his step sister but I’m yet to see or hear anything about her and I am curious to meet her because I strongly have a feeling she has something to do with the visions I had.

“Alexander and Annabelle it is” I said and everyone clapped or cheered , the clapping sounds made Xander to wake up and he started crying. Aiden dropped Annabelle in my arms and he picked Xander from the midwife to cradle him.

“You’re awfully good for a first time father” I said when Xander stopped crying

“I browsed for so much information, I read and I also ask the midwives some questions “ he said which made my heart beat a little faster with admiration for Aiden.

“Don’t you have to go back and handle some stuff in your Pack, you always seem to have something going on for you ?” I asked him and by this time around , everyone had left the room to give us some peace and quiet with our children.

“You’re my priority Nina and then the kids , thank you for giving part to a part of me , my heirs….my own tiny flesh and blood. I’m swooned and marveled at how the universe works” he said and I laughed lightly

“Wait till they become teenagers and start throwing tantrums “” I teased and he made a funny face

“I don’t think anyone can be as stubborn and strong headed as I was besides , I should be the right man to handle any child with such tantrums besides I trust their mummy to treat them right” he said coming to drop a peck on my forehead, a sweet gesture that is becoming more consistent.

“Awww, Aiden” I said blushing and covering my face with the novel I was reading. Aiden just gave me a longing look that stirs up the inside of my tummy before he turned his attention back to the kids.

And that’s how we spent the whole day following a routine , Aiden sits close to the babies and keeps his eyes on them. He brings them over to my place when they wake up or start crying so that I can breastfeed them. Annabelle seems to cry much more than Alexander.

“It’s night , I don’t want to leave but I also want to respect your privacy” said Aiden and I smiled Inwardly at how sweet and thoughtful he has become

“They are also your kids, you can sleep over if you want to “ I said biting my lips and looking away

“You don’t mind the thoughts of me spending the night over here?” He repeated my question

“I don’t mind at all and besides there’s enough space for all of us “ I said while looking around the room

“Okay, give me a second” he said picking his phone and barking some orders, he sounds all serious over the phone but a completely different person when interacting with Annabelle and Alexander.

He kept pressing his phone and excused himself to go and he came back with a backpack.

“Where can I take a shower or should I ask the manager to show me the guest room ?” He asked and I swallowed ,my brain going into frenzy when I remember those moments when we had our shower together.

“No, I want you to shower here.I mean there is a bathroom at the far end of the room “ I said in a low tone hoping that my face was not all red.

“Okay” he said going towards the bathroom door , my head kept imagining Aiden’s hit body in the bathtub.

“Shit! I just had a baby for goodness sake. Why is my body misbehaving ?” I whispered to myself. I stood up and started pacing up and down the room suddenly feeling hot. I try to pick up one of my smug romance novels to keep the heat away, I am tired of reading books and journals on parenthood for the whole day but the book slipped and fell on a toy which made a loud sound.

That woke Alexander up and he started crying out loudly.

“Hey, shhss Xander. Please don’t cry” I said rocking my arms

“What’s wrong with him?” Asked Aiden coming out of the bathroom in a rush wearing only a towel around his wet body.

His hair was also dripping with water and i can’t remember seeing any man this hot in my entire life.My eyes followed the way , the water dripping from his curling hair rolls to his chest and disappearing into the towel which was wrapped around his waist.

He seems to have gotten a lot muscular and handsome since I saw him last and all I want to do is to place my lips on his muscular biceps. Is it possible to get wet from looking at a wet man?

“Nina? What’s wrong with Alexander ?” Asked Aiden as he snapped his fingers in front of my face

“Oh, oh. My book fell and it scared him” I said, closing my eyes out of shame for a bit before opening them.

“Let me take care of him” he said and I declined going to sit down .

“It’s okay, I will feed him and hope that the milk does the trick of keeping him quite “ I said while Aiden follow me from behind, he smells delicious and a bit different, it’s like his normal unique cologne scent with a mix of baby powder and I love it.

“Let me help you with that …” he said, bending down and helping me zip down the front opening of my maternity sleeping wear. He was so close and the brief graze of his hands on my swollen boobs made me moan and to make matters worse, he just stayed in his new position which was very close to me. It almost feels like we are breathing the same air.

“Why are you looking at me like that ?” I asked when I took my eyes off Alexander who was busy sucking on my boobs to look into Aiden’s hooded ones.

“You’re beautiful Nina” he said and I blushed hard, biting my lips because I don’t know what to say …I just want to grab him by the collar and kiss the hell out of those juicy and plump lips of his.

“I might forget that you’re sore and be tempted to make you breathless if you keep biting your lips like Red”
