Sophie’s pov

My body felt a bit sore when I awoke. I took note that Ash and Aiden’s presence wasn’t beside me on

the bed.

My missing guys were either in the kitchen making breakfast like the last time, or judging by the faint

sound of the television playing, was watching some cartoon show.

I rolled around, my body aching.

My body was sore because Aiden and I made love for a good couple of hours before retiring to bed.

I shifted around, sniffling as my nose throbbed a little.

Was I coming down with a cold?

I groaned, stretching my arms up, moaning as I felt my stiff back groan and c*ack.

I was definitely coming down with something.

I sneezed, and quickly rolled out of the bed and strolled to the bathroom lousily to get some tissue to

clean my nose.

I stared at my reflection in the mirror, wincing when my eyes zoomed in on my red nose and messy

hair.

I had caught a cold and it was perhaps because of the cold pool water yesterday and being taken on Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.

the tiles that were not warm either.

I sniffed and cleaned up my nose. Throwing the tissue in the toilet, I flushed it down.

Even though I caught a cold, I didn’t regret anything yesterday. Aiden had held up to his promise to

show me how much he loved me. And oddly I felt it.

I’m not sure how to explain it, but I could feel his love through his movements, the way he stared into

my eyes deeply, and the way he murmured soothing words.

My insides tingled with the images that plagued my mind. Even now I could feel him. The sweet ache

between my thighs.

I walked out of the bathroom and made my way to the bed.

The sound of the door clicking open had my head snapping to the door and I felt flushed under the

weight of his loving stare.

With Ash in his hold, Aiden steps into the room fully.

“Oh you’re awake, good morning baby. Made some breakfas-

He stopped and stared at my face for a little before his eyes darken with worry.

“Are you feeling well mama bear?” He asked, concern swirling in his voice as he approached me. I plop

on the bed, tempted to go under the covers and sleep but choose to stay seated instead.

I opened my arms for Ash while answering Aiden. “I think I caught a cold,” I murmured.

He gives me Ash who loops his little arms around my neck

and hugs me. I kissed his head. “Good morning my sweet boy,”

He giggles and I peered up at his father who looked at me in worry. “Is it bad? Do you want me to call

the doctor?”

I shook my head, smiling a little. “No, it’s just a mild cold. Probably will go in a day or two.”

Aiden nods and leans down to kiss me on my lips. “I don’t care if it’s contagious, nothing will stop me

from having my drug.” He murmurs on my lips when he pulls away.

I shake my head, giggling a little when he pecked my lips several times. “I’m going to stay home and

take care of you.” He murmurs on my lips.

My brows knot. “That’s not a good idea Aiden, aren’t you needed at the office? And I probably should

get back to the apartment-

Aiden pulls away, his eyes narrowing down on me. “I can’t have my little family living in such a situation

Sophie. The place isn’t safe and isn’t there a haunted elevator?”

I wince. He was right. The place wasn’t safe, but it had been our home for a few years.

Aiden squat before me and Ashton. He places his hand on Ashton’s small leg and stared up at me, his

eyes filled with strong emotion.

“I want to be able to protect you and Ash twenty four seven mama bear. I can’t do that if you’re an hour

away. How will I be able to sleep at night if you two aren’t beside me?” He sighed, looking lost and

saddened. .

“I can’t bear to be without you two,” He admitted. “I can’t. stand a single thought of being away from

you both for even a second far less for hours. Those two days waking up with you both here with me is

one of the best days of my life.”

I stared into his eyes deeply. His eyes showed that he spoke the truth but I can’t help have a lingering

thought of reluctance.

I’ve never stayed with a man before, all alone. Well Ashton will also be there, but it will be different than

living with the girls….

I gnawed on my bottom lip, sniffling a bit as I contemplated. This wouldn’t be a bad thing, here was an

undoubtedly safer place for Ashton. He would also get more time to bond with his father, something I

robbed him of.

So I did what I thought was right. I agreed.

“Okay,” I breathed out and Aiden jumped to his feet and hugged both Ashton and me. Ashton squealed,

giggling as Aiden playfully squished us both in his hold.

“You will not regret this mama bear. I promise,” He said, laughing and then kissed my forehead and

then Ashton’s.

“I have to tell the girls,” I said between a few giggles. His happiness was was rubbing off on me.

“I’ll have someone pick up your stuff-

“Hey now Mr. Xavier. No one is going to rummage through my stuff except me.” My eyes narrowed on

his face.

The corner of his lips lift into a grin..”Right. There are some lacey panties that are only for my eyes to

see. I’ll go pick up your stuff.”

My eyes narrowed into slits. “I can pick up my stuff on my own Aiden,” I glared.

He chuckled. “You’re unwell baby-

“I can walk and my hands work fine. I’m not on my death bed.” I retorted with a snort.

Aiden’s smirk widen in amusement. “What are you hiding? Do you have some kind of s*x toy you don’t

want me to see mama bear?”

I gasped, quickly covering Ashton’s ears as I scowled at his father. “Don’t talk so crudely in front of

Ash.”

Aiden lifted his hands up in surrender and then my eyes narrowed as I remembered something.

I contemplated if to ask him or not, but then my tongue decided for me, and before I knew it words roll

out of my mouth.

“Speaking about hiding something. I found the picture frame in your drawer Aiden. A picture of me.”

Aiden stiffened, his smile dimming when those words tumbled out of my mouth.
