108\. The annoying beta is obsessed with the Alpha's baby
"This is unreal, isn't it Ma?!" Aura clutched her daughter close to her chest as she looked out of the window of her car.
There were reporters and photographers as long as Aura can see. All of them have come here to capture a glimpse of the Alpha's first born baby. She was thrilled to see many other people who were not from the professional reporters.
They had welcome cards in their hands and heartfelt messages for her, the Luna.
"Don't you worry, Luna, I will try to pass through them and take you inside." Oscar said, looking straight at the reporters who surrounded the car.
Thankfully the glass of the window was ink black and the reporters and cameramen only saw their own reflection from the outside. They were crowding around so much that Alpha Damien had to come out of his car. Aura's bodyguard attempted their best but the resilient cluster of paparazzi would not budge even if they got screamed at or pushed.
"Guys, guys, guys," Damien raised his hands in the air.
He came before Aura's car and requested the reporters to make way for his mate. Since the alpha was here himself, they took it as a great opportunity and started interrogating him about his first child and the gender of the baby.
"Is it true that no one has any clue regarding the baby's gender yet?" Aura turned to Madam Martha in shock.
"I don't know, dear. I am as shocked as you." Madam Martha replied.
She was aware of Damien's personal arrangements made with news channels and their company for not hampering his personal moments with his wife outside the mansion at any time. He stuffed the pockets of the owners with a huge amount. Though they promised to never disturb him, at this moment they seemed to have forgotten the deal with the alpha.
All of them tried to take a shot of Aura or of the baby anyhow. They tried to take a peek through the human chain her bodyguards and Brian created around her car while the Alpha tried to attend to the curious media.
The glass was also sound proof hence Aura failed to listen to what her husband was saying. Then all of a sudden, the crowd around her car reduced and Oscar drove them inside the barricades of the iron gate.
"Look at Damien," Aura laughed at the condition of her husband.
He attracted the news reporters to himself. She can infer it turning into a live conference as Damien and his beta lingered there with mics under their chins.
"He's trying to get the reporters' heed for you, honey." Madam Martha said.
Oscar pulled over and quickly hopped out to open the door for Aura. "What is this!" An umbrella was placed over her head by Rosario who came running to her from inside the mansion.
"This is to protect the baby. You don't know the reporters' creativity, dear. They can stoop to any limits to get a shot of an important person, blur or not." He said with a cute grin.
"So you are trying to prevent it?" Aura chuckled.
She was exhilarated by the attempts of all the males around her. They were acting like protective, possessive daddies to her daughter.
Rosario flexed his broad shoulders and mouthed, "Damien doesn't want the pictures to go out before she is one. So you see, I am just helping my friend."
That got Aura raising her eyes in amazement, "Since when my husband became your friend, Rose?"
"From the time you blessed him with this bundle of blessing." Rosario said with a small grit tightening his mouth. He never liked himself being called that.
Aura didn't have a chance to snap back at him as she was taken by surprise by the decoration done within the mansion. Her chin raised high and she appraised the royally accessorized arena of her royal mansion.
"Oh my god, you guys are crazy." Shock whacked her spine at the view of the foyer and the joy it held.
They have embellished their mansion like a court in a royal palace. To increase its beauty, they adorned every pillar with illuminating lights and Disney princesses all around.
"Just a small gift for our mamam." Ginny jumped out of an unforeseen place with a crown in her hands.
She placed it on Aura's head and kissed her cheek, "Welcome home, mamma Hunter. You too, baby. Welcome home."
Ginny showered the baby with her glittery gaze. She so wanted to take her but Aura was tired. She took her by the shoulders and led her to Damien and her bedroom. When she stepped inside the room, another meteorite of surprise plummeted down on her.
"Huh…" Their room was extravagantly adorned with flowers and scent according to the baby's comfort.
Aura realized that whatever toys she was unwrapping the other day before her labor pain had found a place on the bed and around the room. It didn't seem like their bedroom. Everywhere she set her gaze she saw toys and toys. There were more and more gifts under the window that she assumed were newly sent out to them— all of them adoring the welcome cards for the Alpha's baby.
"Do you like it?" Ginny took the baby from her hod and placed her in the cot.
Taking a seat across from Aura, she looked at her heavenly expressions. "Do I have to verbalize my happiness?"
"Not really, but I would love you to praise me for my efforts." She raised a brow of arrogance.
The girls both laughed and Aura replied, "This is wonderful."
She forced a smile in order to express her gratitude. Weariness, unfortunately, tinted every ounce of her beautiful face. It was inevitable. Ginny read her closely before she grazed her feet and made them stretch out on the bed.
She arranged the pillows comfortably under her back and pushed the new mama's shoulders back on it gently.
"Rest a little bit, Aurora." And then she slipped out of the room once Aura closed her eyes and instantly yielded to sleep.
It was the godly face of her Alpha husband she happened to catch the view of when the canopy of her eyes unbolted.
"Hey," He was laying beside her by the edge of the bed.
A hand of his was on her stomach stroking it with care while the other one helped him lift himself on the elbow as he caressed the beauty of his wife with his eyes. He was equally tired but the mask of zest made him look lest in need of rest.
Aura pulled him closer by his neck and kissed his lips chastely. Oh this feeling! She was glad to have him so close once again. She loved her baby bump but along with came some unwanted sacrifices that she hated to make. It refused her intense closeness with her husband but now Aura can feel him again.
He joined their foreheads and combined their lips as they breathed together. They didn't kiss but their lips moved sensuously against each other. What Aura hated at that moment was the gap between their frames for Damien had raised himself on his elbows.
He was on top of her but not close enough as she wanted. She could not whine about it either. Her pain was still intact and her loving husband was only taking precautionary measures to prevent any more pain.
"I am so happy, Aura. All thanks to you." He purred like a small breeze on a bright cool day.
He rubbed their noses together and smiled. This was bliss. With both the ladies in the same room, he felt pride swelling his chest.
"You completed me in true sense and I," A quick kiss restricted him from saying further.
Aura knew his elation and that he would never stop thanking her for the life she's also fancied to live with him. She sucked his lips tenderly and tried to feel his weight on her body.
"Not yet, honeybee," Damien kissed her mouth with some force.
"But I want to feel you."
"So do I but you are not ready for my weight yet." Damien slid his hands under her frame and pulled her up.
He lifted her in his arms and stepped out of the room. The air was serene but held a special essence. It was difficult to comprehend but something Aura sensed was that it was fresh and pure. Something has changed and she was joyful about it.
Contentment filled her lungs along with air and she hugged Damien's shoulder. "I love you so much."
"I love you too." He pressed his lips on her mane and led themselves to the dining table where their entire family was waiting for them.
"Carefully," Damien helped her mount the chair and presented a plate before her.
Her eyes twinkled at the sight of food but her heed was taken away by the argument happening opposite them on a couch.
"She is not your private property, Brian. Give her to me now." Aura sighed as Rosario and Brian were fighting over her daughter again.
"No, I am not giving my baby to you. Go away, jerk." Brian elbowed him and pecked the tiny bundle's head.
Rosario growled angrily. He could be aggressive but the beta male was worriless. The baby was with him and he was aware no one would try to hurt him.
"This jerk has lost his brains." Alpha Damien announced.
"Yeah, he won't leave the baby alone." they watched Ginny burrow her fork on the table as if it was Brian.
"He won't even let me touch my own daughter properly." Aura admired Brian and smiled.
She loved this guy and his wits. He was calm from the outside but at several instances he was hard to handle. Damien would be less stubborn than him. She chuckled as Rosario pouted in defeat for the aggressive beta turned his back to him, refraining him from a glimpse of the tiny parcel in his arms.
"Brian," She called his name.
"Yes, Aura?"
He smiled instantly as their eyes met and gestured at the baby and hugged her possessively. She saw his face brightening up as if he was thanking her.
"I think you should let others hold her too." She remarked with a significant lifting of her brows.
"I would but after I am done adoring her." His mouth thickened with a pleasant smirk.
He hugged her closer and walked away from Brian. Everyone stared at him annoyingly but it was only Damien who laughed. "He never liked kids before?"
"I never saw a tiny baby like this before. The kids I met were not as lovely as this. And trust me, you wouldn't like kids with runny noses and dirty drooling mouths either while they suck on their dirty knuckles." the beta's voice followed.
It was not supposed to crack them up but they couldn't hold their reactions.
The dinner was served. The alpha and his family devoured eating their food except for Brian and Rosario. They were still fighting over holding the baby.
"Come on Brian, give her to me now."
"Not yet, Ferrari. I am not done loving my baby."
"I want to love her too. I am her uncle."
"I am her godfather." Brian boastfully uttered, clutching the baby close to his chest.
While the guys fought the baby silently breathed in Brian's arm. She amazed the others on the dining table for being so patient around dimwits like these two guys who were acting like kids.
"Who made you the godfather?" Rosario's eyes dilated in enrage. His patience was turning into fragments and scattering apart.
To increase his fury, Brian annoyingly smirked, "I made myself the godfather because I am the beta of the pack."
"I so want to kick his ass right now. Taking authority over my daughter." that was the Alpha's playful remark.
"And I want to pull his hair." That was Ginny.
"You shut up your pie hole, cunt. You wouldn't have the baby if I hadn't helped you reconcile with Aura." Brian kind of shrieked and the baby in his arms screeched whereas Damien was tight-lipped.
"Oh my girl, sorry. Dadda is sorry." He rocked her in his arms while Damien rolled his eyes and resumed his food.
"Well, you are not her dadda. Damien is. You better stop acting like her father." Ginny stopped eating her food to give an exasperated scowl.
She was another victim unfairly treated by Brian. But she was not as patient as Rosario so she gave up on the desire of holding the baby. Not that it was impossible. She was certain Brian would leave her once and then it would be her turn to adore that little soul.
"I am her dadda. Damien is her papa." Brian looked up with an arrogant stretch on his lips. "You see the difference."
"Bloody punk." Ginny hugged.
"I bet you guys wouldn't want to know what I want to do with that dumbass." Another remark echoed in the room, which belonged to Mr. Hunter.
"No curses, Jacob Hunter. You have a little grandchild in the room and if you curse again you will have it. Where are your manners, guys?" Damien's mother finally broke her silence.
"None of you will have the baby if I get to hear another curse in front of the baby. Don't spoil her ears already." Silence befell in the room while there, Poor Rosario longingly eyed Damien's daughter.
Aura observed the two guys chewing a bite of her healthy oats and an idea illuminated in her head.
She summoned Rosario and said, "Join us for the food, Rosario."
"But I want to hold the baby, Aurora." He sounded like a baby himself.
Brian was casting a slant glance towards them. Though he pretended he was occupied by the joy bubbling in his lap, he was all ears to what Aura said.
"I promise you will get to hold her soon and no one will take her from you." She petted his shoulder as he sat next to her.
"He is the biggest assho—" the other half of the statement was swallowed by the French guy as he noticed himself being glared at by the Grandma of the baby he was dying to hold. "I mean to say, he is very obstinate. I will not let him near me once I have the baby."
"You make your own if you are so desperate to have one in your hands." Brian spat.
Alpha Damien suppressed his laughs at the reluctance of his beta and joined in, "I don't mind you staying over and watching over my daughter overnight."
"As if you'll allow him in your room at night." They heard Brian before he got up.
"Come on darling, let's go to a silent place. There's so much crowd and disturbance here." He added and drove to a serene place with his best friend's daughter, leaving everyone to cringe and smile at him simultaneously.
Well this felt like a perfect family dinner with some garnishing of melodrama.
Tbc…
