‘If you can love Theo, then why can’t you love someone who will share your blood? You can’t treat an infant as an evil creature. At least give that baby a chance.’
Liara sighed and pulled her breast out of her gown to feed him. Theodore felt jealous of how the little one hungrily grabbed her breast before sucking it.
Her breasts were his before the arrival of the two boys.
Once he was full, Liara tried to pass him to Theodore, but he started crying again, and the moment Liara brought him close to her heart, he calmed down.
"He is opposite Griffin," Theodore commented. Griffin was ready to spend time with everyone, but it looked like the second one was different.
"Of course he is. Don’t insult Griffin by comparing him to this thing. He is royal and pure, while this thing is evil and dark." Hearing this, Theodore’s expression changed. He felt like someone showed him his childhood when everyone used to say mean things to him.
"If anything is dark here, then that is your thought, Liara," Theodore said, calling her full name in a cold tone. "I know what happened with you wasn’t right, but don’t let that incident change you because bitterness and cruelty aren’t your things. If I hear a single wrong word about him, then that won’t be healthy for our relationship."
"Odo"
"I fell in love with the soul of that woman, who didn’t treat me differently and was never mean towards me. People can stay together and in love if their appearance changes, but not when their soul changes." Theodore warned her indirectly. "Come on, suckers! We need to become friends to work out things." He said they were taking him from Liara. His son started crying loudly.
"Stop crying," Theodore said, rubbing his back. It took him a while, but finally, he calmed down. Theodore happily walked out of the operation theatre and showed his other son to everyone. But the moment he tried to transfer him into anyone’s hand, he started crying.
"Okay! Okay!! I’m here. I’m here. Stop crying." He muttered, rocking him.
"Griffin looks like Lee, and he looks like you," Ambrose said and was about to touch the little one, who started crying again. "And unlike Griffin, he doesn’t like people touching him."
"So, what are you going to call him? Any vampire name in your mind?"
"Not sure. I have to discuss this with Lia."
Edolie silently signaled Theodore to pass the little one to her. Theodore didn’t think it was a good idea, but he still did what she had requested, and thankfully he didn’t cry this time.
"It seems like she recognized me," Edolie spoke and immediately regretted saying that when they watched the eye of the pup black and his hand in the air. The next thing she knew, she wasn’t able to breathe.
"Damn it!!" Theodore snatched him from her and hit his buttock. His eyes returned back to the baby blue color, and he started crying again. "You okay, mom?"
"He can do magic," Edolie muttered, taking a deep breath.
"I’m sorry on his behalf." Theodore apologized.
"No! No! It’s fine. I get it. I should have respected his decision." Edolie responded with a smile. To be honest, even Theodore was scared about the future after observing the power of the pup in his arms. After a while, he returned to where Liara was. She had healed by then and was drinking blood hungrily.
"Do you have any names for him?"
Liara stopped drinking blood and pressed her lips tightly, looking at the little one in his arms before replying, "You wanted to name our pup Kendrick earlier." She reminded him.
"Yeah! But that’s not a vampire name. That will be his middle name. Any suggestion about his first name?"
"Eleazer Kendrick Wayne?" Liara asked. "Eleazer means ‘God has helped’ or ‘God is my help’," she explained. She really hoped that God would help him.
"Perfect," Theodore said and looked at Eleazer. "Do you like your name?" He asked but didn’t get any response in return.
