Of course, the sensation was different when it was her husband doing it. But the joy she felt at finally having her son in her arms could not be measured by any scale. She believed Alex also felt the same way.

“Do you think you can share your milk with Daddy?” Alex teased his son, who had been busy feeding himself.

She watched as he gently touched their son’s cheeks, trying to get his attention. But Ares ignored his father as he continued with his task. She believed he might have inherited the trait of the Hamilton men, specifically Ethan’s stubbornness.

“I think he just gave you his answer,” Dani uttered, slightly giggling at their son’s behavior.

She leaned over and touched his hairline with her lips, smelling the fresh baby scent of a newborn child. She had never imagined this day would come.

She remembered her engagement with Nick. He wanted to marry her, but he never mentioned having children. She thought that he was just not ready, but she guessed he was never a father material.

Fortunately, she learned the hard truth about him before it was too late. Or else she would have ended up in a miserable marriage. Luckily, fate introduced her to this man.

Alex was the best husband as far as he was concerned. She did not doubt that he would also be a great father to their son. She could already see how much he adored their little treasure.

.....

“I know we can work on a deal. After all, I am your father.” Alex was not ready to give up as he continued to talk to his son, who never even acknowledged his father’s existence.

“Give it up.” She patted her husband on the face, comforting him for being the loser in this round. “Maybe next time.”

He pouted his lips at her as if disappointed. But after just a few seconds, he smiled again as if he had just thought of an idea. If she had to guess, it would be another silly suggestion that would make her laugh.

That was one thing she loved about him. He could be all serious and guns blazing when he needed to protect his family. But he could be hilarious if he wanted to make her smile.

He was not afraid to show his funny side, even if it might seem out of his character, as long as he could take away the pressure, the pain, or the exhaustion she felt.

“Not yet.” He ran his fingers through his slightly getting long hair. It appeared that he was brewing another proposition in his mind.

She could only shake her head at his silliness. Anyway, she made a mental note to schedule him in a salon. She learned that the almighty Prince Alexander Princeton Blackstone was no different from her son. He was a big boy trapped in a man’s body.

“What are you thinking now?” She asked as her eyes shifted back and forth between father and son.

“An arrangement that he would find hard to refuse,” Alex announced with a smug smile, acting as if he was dealing in a merger.

“And what is it?” She could not wait to hear what he had concocted in his mind. She knew he was only entertaining her. After all, she still had not recovered from the hardship of labor.

Her son was not small by the standard. Her doctor had warned her that she should not eat too many sweets and salty foods, but she seemed to crave them more while pregnant.

It could be seen by how much her body had bloated. Then, the size of her son was another piece of evidence. Luckily, she was able to pull through the painful delivery without the need for surgery. Thankfully, her son was finally declared healthy.

“If you want more siblings, you must learn to share.” He declared in a whisper as he leaned down to their son’s ears as if it was a deal between the two of them.

She was amazed at the reaction he got from their little, mischievous son as he finally let go of her breast with a satisfied smile. It was like they had reached an understanding and made a pact, sealed, signed, and delivered.

“You see.” He pointed to their little angel. “He agrees with me.” He continued, proud of the connection he had with his son.

Although it might be just a coincidence, it was still adorable to see that the father and son had bonded in their little ways. Alex carefully picked up their son and cradled him in his arms.

However, somebody forgot to inform them that moving a child after breastfeeding could be disastrous if not handled properly. When he tried repositioning him from a different angle, Ares started burping.

Curd milk spilled out of his lips and landed on his father’s clothes. Of course, the new parents panicked, thinking the worse as they called for help.

The commotion did create a slight chaos in their room. Eventually, the nurse sorted it out with a quick tutorial on parenting easy tricks. But the rest, she knew they would have to learn by themselves.

Lucky for her, her mother, Laura, had volunteered to stay for a couple of weeks to show them the ropes. Even Katherine had agreed to help. They had already booked a room at a nearby hotel.

She believed both grandmothers could not wait to spend some time with their grandson. But she was readying herself for the possible clashes in their opinions. After all, they came from two different backgrounds. They might have different ways on how to raise their grandchild.

“But seriously, do you want more kids?” Dani gazed at her husband, who seemed to be enamored with their son.

She remembered he wanted at least half a dozen, but she knew they were joking back then. Now, she wondered what his opinion was about this.

“I do,” Alex answered her. “I want our son to have brothers and sisters to share his life with.” He gently held their son’s tiny hand in his fingers and tenderly pulled them to his lips, planting a soft kiss on his palm.

“But only if you want more.” He added as he finally looked in her direction. Then, he moved toward her, sitting on the edge of the bed with their son still in his arms.

She had never really thought about it before. Since she got pregnant, all her concentration went to their baby. She only wanted to keep him safe and deliver him to the world without a scratch on him.

Now, she could only think of one thing when she heard the yearning in his voice. She also wanted what he wished for their son. Being an only child had its perks, but she believed having a few more kids in the family would be better.

She might have difficulty in her first childbirth, but they said it got easier the second time. “Maybe one or two more.” She announced. This time, Alex had a big smile on his face.
