Falling In Love With The Billionaire Twins

98



The morning sun filtered through the curtains, casting a warm glow over the nursery as I sat on the floor, playing with Amalia. Her tiny fingers reached out, attempting to grasp at the colorful toys I dangled before her. Her laughter filled the room, a melody that brought a smile to my lips.

As I watched her explore her surroundings with wide blue eyes, a sudden craving hit me like a wave. McDonald’s fries and ice cream seemed to materialize in my mind, their salty and sweet allure impossible to ignore. It was one of those pregnancy cravings that felt like an urgent need rather than a simple desire.

“You know what, Amalia?” I mused aloud, addressing my daughter as if she could fully understand me. “I got a hankering for some fries and ice cream. It’s a weird combination, but trust me, it’s delicious.” Amalia responded with a gurgle, as if she was part of the conversation, her innocence a reminder of the simple joys in life.

As I continued to play with her, my thoughts turned reflective. Amalia was growing up so quickly, each day bringing new discoveries and milestones. The realization tugged at my heart, a mixture of awe and nostalgia for the fleeting moments of babyhood.

My hand instinctively rested on my belly, a reminder that my body was also undergoing its own transformations. I marveled at how quickly everything seemed to be moving the passing of time, the changes in my body, and the blossoming of our family.

Texting Ace became a spontaneous impulse, a way to share my craving and connect with him even though he was at work. “Craving McDonald’s fries with ice cream,” I typed, a smile playing on my lips as I pressed send.

With Alex on a business trip in another state, it was just Amalia and me in the house. The quiet moments with her were both grounding and precious, a time to reflect on the journey we were on together.

Turning my attention back to Amalia, I spoke to her as if she could understand every word. “You’re growing so fast, my little beauty,” I cooed, my voice soft and full of affection. “You’ve got those big eyes that light up the room, just like your mother’s.” Amalia responded with a gurgle and a contented wriggle, her gaze fixed on my face as if she was trying to absorb every sound and expression.Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.

“You’ve got her smile too,” I continued, my heart swelling with love as I traced a finger along her delicate features. “And that laugh of yours it’s like music to my ears, just like hers.”

As I held Amalia in my arms, I felt a profound sense of connection a connection that transcended time and generations. In her, I saw traces of her mother, a reminder that the love we shared was woven into the fabric of our family’s story.

“You’re growing up so fast,” I repeated softly, my voice carrying a mixture of wonder and a touch of wistfulness. “But no matter how big you get, you’ll always be my precious little girl.”

Amalia responded with a joyful squeal, her tiny hands reaching out to touch my face. It was as if she understood the sentiment behind my words.

As the afternoon sun painted the room in a warm glow, I found myself engaged in a playful banter with Amalia once again. She lay in her crib, her curious eyes fixed on the colorful mobile that danced above her. I leaned over the crib, adopting a mock-serious expression.

“Amalia, do you have any plans for the weekend?” I asked in a tone that was both exaggerated and absurdly formal. She responded with a gurgle, as if she was fully invested in our imaginary conversation.

“Well, I’ve heard the nursery has a playdate scheduled with Mr. Elephant and Miss Teddy,” I continued, my voice carrying a hint of drama. “I hope you’ve RSVPed, my dear.”

Amalia’s response was a delighted wriggle, her fingers reaching out to bat at the mobile as if confirming her commitment to the playdate.

I couldn’t help but chuckle at the silliness of our exchange. Parenthood had a way of turning even the simplest interactions into moments of shared laughter and connection. As I continued to engage in our imaginary conversation, I felt a profound sense of joy a joy that came from the pure delight of being present in the moment with her.

Just as our playful conversation reached its peak, the front door swung open, and Ace walked in with a grin on his face. “I hope I’m not interrupting anything,” he quipped, his voice carrying a mixture of amusement and affection.

I turned to him with a theatrical gasp, my hand placed dramatically over my heart. “Mr. Elephant and Miss Teddy were just confirming their attendance at Amalia’s playdate,” I informed him, my tone as absurdly serious as before.

Ace’s laughter filled the room, and he shook his head in mock exasperation. “Ah, of course. Can’t have a playdate without Mr. Elephant and Miss Teddy,” he replied, his eyes dancing with humor.

As Ace joined me near the crib, his gaze shifted to Amalia, who was now kicking her legs with enthusiasm. “And what are you contributing to this important playdate, little one?” he asked in a playful tone.

Amalia responded with a series of delighted gurgles, her arms waving in the air as if she was sharing her own thoughts on the matter.

I couldn’t resist adding to the playful banter. “She’s bringing her irresistible charm and baby babbles,” I said with a wink.

Ace nodded in agreement, his expression one of mock seriousness. “Ah, a valuable contribution indeed. Mr. Elephant and Miss Teddy won’t know what hit them.”

As we shared a good-natured laugh, Ace’s attention seemed to shift to the mobile above Amalia’s crib. “So, what are we discussing here?” he asked, gesturing towards the spinning toys.

“Amalia’s social calendar, of course,” I replied with a grin. “She’s got a busy weekend ahead.”

Ace chuckled, his gaze turning back to Amalia, who was now focused on his face with wide blue eyes. “Well, I think you’ve got a promising career as a playdate organizer,” he said to her with a smile.

Just then, Ace’s grin turned mischievous, and he reached into a bag he had brought with him. He pulled out a container of McDonald’s fries and a cup of ice cream the exact treats I had craved earlier in the day.

“Speaking of busy weekends, I come bearing gifts,” Ace said, a twinkle in his eyes.

My eyes widened in surprise, and I couldn’t help but let out a delighted laugh. “You read my message!” I exclaimed, the playful banter with Amalia and Ace’s timely arrival making this moment even more enjoyable.

Ace chuckled, his gaze shifting to our daughter. “Well, someone mentioned a hankering for fries and ice cream,” he replied with a grin.

I playfully nudged him with my elbow. “Well, you know what they say a craving shared is a craving halved.”
