Raphael POV After twenty hours of labour Mel was finally born. She is perfect. She has blue eyes but as I was told when Mike was born, Every baby is born with blue eyes.
Olivia is extremely tired and she did so well. She is a hero. She is the most amazing woman Iâve ever met.
Her mother arrived not long ago. We had a private jet pick her up to bring her here the moment Olivia went into labour.
Unfortunately there was a big storm hitting here so she was delayed by a few hours.
Olivia is now asleep. I canât help but stare at her in awe. She is so strong. How can someone so small be so strong?
âRaphael?â - her mother says walking in âCome on inâ - I say and she smiles looking at me without my shirt and having some skin to skin contact with Mel.
Mel is sleeping against my chest with both her hands touching my tattoos. This feels right.
âYou need to restâ - she tells me âI am okayâ - I reply âYou havenât slept in more than twenty four hours son. Me and your mother will take care of Mel and Livâ - she says and I take a deep breath looking at my sleepy wife to be and my baby girl.
I stand up putting Mel on her crib next to Olivia and I put my T-shirt on.
âIf anything happens call me, Iâll just go have a showerâ - I say âHave some sleep because you will never sleep again, not with three kidsâ - she says âI knowâ - I say while my hands mess with my hair.
I walk to Olivia and place a kiss on her head âIâll be back soonâ - I whisper and Olivia moves her head a little.
I walk out of the bedroom and as if was rehearsed my phone starts to vibrate in my pocket.
I take it out and itâs Joseph.
âYes?â
âCongratulationsâ - he says âThanksâ
âNow on to the reason I calledâ - he says âYeah?â
âWe captured two of the french guard and they are being held captive in the cellâ
âTorture them. I want to know everything, where they meet, when they meet, whoâs their boss besides that assâ
âNo problem bossâ
âAnything else?â - I ask âNot for nowâ - he says and I end the call.
I am extremely tired and I need a shower.
The drive home was fast and when I get in Maria greets me with Mike.
She stretches his arms to come to me and I pick him up.
How is this even possible? I went from a badass playboy manwhore, shark of New York and CEO to being tamed and a father of three. All in one year.
I shake my head and I take Mike with me to my bedroom.
I put Mike on the floor and he sits playing with some of his toys.
I sit next to him and I enjoy the silence. Well only his giggles and little moans when what he wants doesnât happen.
âYou look so much like your motherâ - I say placing a kiss on his head Maria knocks on the door.
âSorry for disturbing but itâs his bath timeâ - she says picking him up and waving goodbye at me to see if Mike copied but all that happened was his hysterical cry.
âIâll do itâ - I say while I stand up walking to the bathroom and starting the bath.
Maria walks in with a naked baby and puts him in the bath with some of his toys.
I play with Mike while Maria bathes him. He looks so happy my boy.
I wonder how Gabriel is when it comes to have a bath.
He is almost three years old. How is that even possible.
After we get Mike into his pjs and giving him a bottle Maria takes him to sleep and I have my well deserved shower.
After I finish I wrap a tower around my hip and I walk out drying my hair with another one.
I lay down I bed not bothered about the wet towel. I am tired and I need a nap. I send both towel to the floor and I crawl into bed. This bed feels empty without Olivia and I donât like it.
I close my eyes and I can feel my body relaxing and I drift off to sleep.
I donât know how long I was out for but when I open my eyes the sun is shining and it takes me a couple of seconds to adjust my eyes with the bright light.
I roll in bed to find it empty and I take a deep breath.
I grab my phone and I see a text message.
âWe need to talkâ - from Olivia and my heart skips a beat.
Every time someone says we need to talk thereâs hell being lose.
âIâll be there in one hourâ - I message back I get dressed and I play a little with Mike before I head out to the hospital Once I am there my mother is cuddling up to Mel and Oliviaâs mother is looking at them smiling.
I knock on the door and I can hear Oliviaâs voice saying to come in.
I step inside and I find my beautiful woman all showers and smelling amazing.
âHello loveâ - I say walking to her and placing a kiss on her lips.
âWe have to talk Raphaelâ - she says and I nod my head taking a seat on the chair next to her bed Hello everyone Tell me what you think will happen next.
I will take a couple of days off.
The next chapter will be updated on the first of January 2021.
I wish you all a happy New Year and I hope that 2021 is better than 2020.
Stay safe Love Peyton
