** The day before Lian and Lia was born **
“Are you alright? Lea?”
Looking at his pitiful wife, Aiden never know that it would be that hard to give birth to a child. And the fact that it was a different case since Lea is pregnant with twins, Aiden can’t help but think of how much it must have been for Lea’s body.
“Yes… I think so…”
She mumbled as she can’t help but catch her breathe. Her stomach is now as big as a watermelon, no, it looks as if it is much bigger than that. even her appetite was doubled. It is not an exaggeration since she is eating not for just one person but three.
Holding her stomach, Aiden can’t help but held it with his hands. Thinking of how nice it must have been to finally see them at last.
“Tell me if there is anything else that I can do for you, okay? Don’t push your self too hard, lea”
His eyes was full of worries as he let their hands be intertwined with each other. Never once in their life did they thought that it would come to this. But life is just so mysterious after all. No one can tell what may happen at the end of the day. No one can tell what the ending of their story would be. As time goes by, life goes one. And they are both ready for the fact that not too long, a family they onced dream to have will be a reality.
“Do we still have some of that?”
Smiling as he knew right away what she was talking about, Aiden just reach on the side of the sofa as he pick up banana chips and a jar of chocolate spread. He was aware that pregnant surely have fascinating combination of food they want to eat. But the fact that Lea was craving for some banana chips dipped in chocolates, Aiden can’t help but find it cute.
“Of course, we have much in here. and even if we ran out, I will surely take my feet out to go buy you some”
Smiling, Lea let her head rest on his arms. She was still in bliss. The fact that Aiden was acting like that towards her, it was so far in what they used to be. But somehow, that kind of changes isn’t something she hated. It was the contrary.
“Thank you, Aiden”
Enjoying her food, Aiden just watch her eat like a good kid. With sparkles on her eyes in every much she does, Aiden can’t help but fall for her once again. but suddenly her eyes frown.
“Yes? Is there something wrong?”
“I want store food”
“huh?”
Confused about what she was saying, Aiden gulp.
“I mean, frozen food. The one we eat back then in the store in nowhere… i… I don’t know but I feel like eating it for some reason”
Remembering that food she was talking about, Aiden stand up and think of what food it might be. Its been so long so he already forgot what brand and type of food it was. The food inside a plastic and the one with the scent of beef…
“Sure, just wait here and I will get you some”
Leaving the room as he hold his phone, he just pointed the door at the servants and they know right away what it was. It was the special order that Aiden always says.
Take a good look in Lea and help her if she needs anything.
No matter what happens, Lea’s safety as well as the babies are their priority. That is what was written on their mind. And that is also something at all servants wants to do. after all, the kindness that she shows is something that is enough for them to wish for her happiness. She may be a bit distant to them as they heard what happened to Lilith, a very precious person for Lea, they just hope the best for their madame.
“No, this is not it…”
Putting down the spoon he had on his hand, Aiden can no longer have much food in his mouth. The taste he was looking for, even after serving so many types of heated meal, he can’t still find that very taste he was looking for.
There is only ten left in tons of food he tasted, but he feels as if his stomach would bloat any time soon.
“Still not this…”
And as he finally have two more left in front of him, his eyes widened the moment he took a bite on the second last. A big grin escaped his lips. a grin that made him look like he won a lottery of something.
“Master?”
The servant asked. And he nodded his head. Enough for them to understand what he meant by that.
“I shall purchase more of that meal, master”
But after his efforts in finding the said meal, with the heated meal he had on the tray he was holding, Aiden saw the sight of Lea sleeping like an angel. She fall asleep waiting for his arrival.
“Did I took that long?” he can’t help but mumble as he put down the tray. Caressing her cheeks, Lea looks beautiful as always. Even though she doesn’t have any make up with her, even though her hair is in a bit of mess, even if she is wearing just casual comfy clothes, Aiden can’t help but think of how she is the most beautiful person in the world.
“I am really lucky to have you, Lea. If only you knew… if only you knew how I wish every single night… maybe the gods finally get tired of me being so silly. In this age and I still wish upon a stars…”
Giggling at himself, he let his hand reach her hair and tuck it behind her ears.
“You are so brave, Lea. And I am proud of you… my dearest…”
A kiss on a forehead. A small kiss for the night. He knew that she is in so much pain. Carrying two babies all by her own, if there is anything he can do for her, he would gladly do so.
All the people in the mansion is aware of how much Aiden love his wife. They all know how much their master has fallen for their madame. And that is something they admire. That is something they can call as a miracle. After all, they knew how their master isn’t that kind of person. he was cold hearted and doesn’t wish to get close with the servant. As long as they do the job he asked to do, that was it. but to think that he would be a gentle person if front of Lea.
It is something that seems to be out of a fairy tale. It was too good to be true.
“Have a good night… love…”
And as he let his lip touch her belly, a smile can’t be erased on his face.
“And you two, be good to mommy, okay?”
Aiden Lazarus, the moment Lian and Lia was born… one can tell in just one glance that at that moment, he was the happiest person alive.
