Chapter 44
ELEIA’S POV
—
I expected another month , but here I am , weeks later , standing in the kitchen with liquid sliding down my thighs , joining the pool at my feet .
“Aiden !” I yell , knowing that he is coming down any minute , but when he doesn’t answer , I mind link him .
‘It’s time , get your a*s down here !’ I snap at him and the thudding of feet echoes through the house .
“Eleia ?” The horror in his tone makes me want to yell , I can’t have him freaking out when I am freaking out .
“Mind link the doctor and tell her that we are on our way .” I mutter through deep breaths .
“Oh goddess ..” he scoops me up , his eyes glassing over as he carries me to the car and we carefully speed towards the hospital .
With my doctor doing to pelvic exam , I am trying my best not to lose my head over the pain shooting up and down my spine , my walls contacting , my body tearing apart just so that this baby can be born today , right now .
Four and a half months of carrying and growing a child and humans think that nine months aren’t enough , if only they knew how we had it .
“Names , we don’t have names .” I seethe as I crush Aiden’s hand in mine .
I could tell I was hurting him , but he was forcing the most beautiful smile onto his face .
“You’re doing great .” He smiles and when the contractions stop for just a minute , I can relax and breath .
“Oh , there’s a head already .” The doctor gasps , “Nurse !” She yells through the open door and a whole team comes in .
“What ?” My eyes almost pop out .
“It’s time Luna , you’re doing great .” She smiles and before I could say anything , pain is everywhere and I scream once more , tears streaming down my cheeks .
“Come on , push !” The doctor encourages me , but my eyes lock on Aiden and he’s just smiling , holding my hand.
“I can’t..” I shake my head and his grip tightens on my hand , “You can and you will .”
After all the pain and the screaming , my body goes limp as a small cry fills the room .
“Congratulations to a healthy boy .” The doctor snips the cord before handing my boy to me .
Aiden stares at me with love and care before his eyes flick to the baby in my arms .
“He’s beautiful.” Aiden smiles and the nurses take him to clean him and put clothes on .
I lay exhausted , feeling like my body is dipped in acid .
“Water .” I breathe out and he grabs a glass , lifting my head as he helps me sip .
“You rest and I’ll wait for them to bring him back .” He drags his hand over my face and I nod before closing my eyes .
I jolt awake at the crying sound , afraid that I missed everything .
“Hey .” Aiden paces up and down in front of the bed I’m laying on , cradling the little bundle of joy .
“He just woke up .” He smiles , but not at me , at him .
“How long have I been asleep ?” I croak , gulping to wet my throat .
“Three hours . I know I should have woken you up , but you needed rest .” He shrugs , anger boiling in my chest .
“Can I hold him ?” I ask as I sit upright and he nods , “Of course , but he already loves me more .” He teases with a grin and I roll my eyes as he pads over and hands me my boy .
“We have to name him .” Aiden has his hands rested on the edge of the bed , leaning forward , his face close to mine , looking , hovering over the baby .
I feel like crying when I touch his hand and he holds my finger with his tiny ones .
“Oh my goddess .” I choke , sniffing as I try to blink the tears away , but it’s no use .
“He looks like a…” I inhale a deep breath as I take in his puffy features .
He’s so tiny and perfect .
“Ashton…no.” I exhale , shaking my head .
“Eric?” Aiden suggests , but my face scrunches up too fast for it to feel right . “I don’t think so…”
“Felix?” My voice is a whisper , “I like that .” Aiden smiles and I glance up at him through my lashes , “Me too .”
“Felix Moon .” I continue and I grin as I look at Aiden , “Maybe we should give him your last name.. since I’m not really the father .” He shrugs and it makes sense , but it doesn’t mean it doesn’t break my heart to know that he doesn’t want to give Felix his last name .Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
“But I guess Moon is fine , once I adopt him as my own .” He smiles and my eyes light up .
“He’s ours ,no matter biology .” I take Aiden’s hand .
A day in the hospital was too long because Felix was getting checked and so was I , but when Aiden came to pick us up the next morning , he said he had a surprise .
He carried Felix up the stairs to our room and once we walked inside , I froze in awe .
“Aiden…” I breathe out in appreciation as my eyes glance over the corner that is painted blue , the beautiful white wooden crib that’s put together with toys dangling at the top , the changing station , everything I need , everything we need.
“When did you do this ?” Tears stream down my cheeks and for once , it’s happy ones .
Aiden places Felix in the crib , smiling at the little boy as he continues to sleep .
“Yesterday and last night , I had people get me everything and I put it all together last night with the help of Stefan and Rosie of course , they said they will come say hi tonight when they are done with their house . Seems like they’re moving out this week .” He smiles , striding over to me .
His arms snake around my waist as he pulls me closer to him , “You made a beautiful boy .” His nose nudges against mine playfully .
“How do you feel ?” His deep voice makes my insides twist and even if I want to say perfectly fine , I know I’m not .
“Still sore a bit unfortunately.” I sigh and he steps back , letting me go .
“That’s good , we can wait .” He leans in , kissing me lightly .
The baby starts to cry and I freeze , inhaling a deep breath as I stare at Aiden , “What do I do ?” My bottom l*p trembles in fear and he glances at Felix before looking back at me , “Pick him up ?” He suggests , shrugging .
“I don’t know .” He scratches his nape as he turns to look at Felix once more .
With shaky legs , I walk over to him , picking up the bundle of crying , cradling him in my arms as I begin to pace , rocking him , but the crying gets worse .
“Maybe he’s hungry or has a diaper .” The panic in Aiden’s voice makes my b***d run cold and I glance up at the roof as I take in a deep breath before walking over to the bed , laying Felix down .
He looks so tiny on the bed ..
Focus Eleia .
I check his diaper , which is full of poop .
“Oh gross .” She smell makes me ill and I pick him up , take him to the changing station and change his diaper .
He continues to cry and I go sit on the bed , breast feeding him until he quiets down and falls back asleep .
“That wasn’t too hard..” I sigh as he lays between Aiden and I .
“You’re a natural .” He grins, holding my hand .
I wouldn’t say that because I was freaking out the entire time , him sucking on my n*****s was a pain because it physically hurt .
I fell asleep with Felix and when I woke up , he wasn’t in front of me .
I jolt up , finding Aiden sitting on the couch with him in his arms , smiling as he hums to Felix .
“You can’t do that .” I snap at him , “Do what ? I was just helping .” He shrugs , whispering in fear .
I know that fear , the fear of not wanting to wake up the baby .
“I know .” I drag my hands over my head , feeling all the bumps in my tied up hair .
“I need a shower .” I mutter as I pull the elastic from my hair .
“Then go , I got this .” Aiden smiles and the relief and annoyed feeling in my chest is leaving my mind a mess .
“Thanks .” I deadpan before walking into the bathroom .
After a minute ,the bathroom door opens and Aiden is fully naked , “I must say…” he grins out as he pads over to the shower , opening the door , “I did not like your tone .” He steps in , closing the door behind him .
“I don’t care .” I sigh as I wet my hair and he stands chest to chest with me .
“You should .” He tuts , staring down at me .
“I don’t.” I repeat and he rolls his neck before his hand grabs my nape , he keeps my head pulled back and his face inches closer .
“You’re going to apologise after this .” He grins before he lowers onto his knees .
“Aiden , I’m still…” my words are cut off as I gasp , feeling his tongue flick over me before he lifts one leg over his shoulder and then the other , burying his face in my cunt as he sucks and licks my clit , making me squirm and m**n as he has my back pressed into the wall .
