Physician came out at mid night and what I feared happened..."your highness congratulations for the baby girl, but she's born at midnight..."she said with a little hesitant,I know what she wants to say..so I stopped her before she continued.
" No one should know about it . I repeat no one..or I'll torture you before killing you with my own hands "I said with little killing intent leaking from my body "your highness,you can trust me I'll never say anything to ruin a child's life and this thing.. it's better no one knows this thing" she said fearlessly..," what about the child?" I asked " she is sleeping with her mother, when she'll wake up she will be hungry," i nodded" for now take rest "....., "yes your highness " she said with tired voice..i watched her leave and i entered the room ..on the bed was my wife and my youngest child , my love also wanted a little baby girl but when we had Ambrose she was still very happy and she used to make Ambrose wear girls clothes..and he being the mamma's boy never uttered a word of protest...I still can't believe she left us and now I have a daughter with another omega...
Even though mates bond are rare and when omega and alpha have predestined bond people call it destiny..but for me even if she was not my bonded mate , she was still my destiny...I wish I had a bond with her so when she took her last died , i would have also taken my last breath...i signed and pinched between my eyebrows, *this headache*.
All things aside looking at my youngest child, she looks cute , almost as cute as jade when I first caught him sneaking to eat dessert at late night..I smiled * she have her mother's eyes and nose and lips , while same hairs as mine and....* My thoughts was cut short when I saw her waking up , "shhh.. little one " i said softly* idiot like she will understand you*.. feeling embarrassed at myself, I wanted to leave still decided against it ..right now they are vulnerable and anyone with bad intentions can hurt them and as a warrior how can I leave them alone..
I saw her staring at me, I felt weird *shouldn't she cry for food, physician said she'll be hungry when she'll wake up*..I saw jade still sleeping but he had a small frown ..i gently caressed his head , soon his frown was gone..*she's still staring at me, weird*," do you want milk"..*wow so such a smart move , asking a child who can't even move by itself if she want food, so many years of training for what , just to embarrass yourself in front of your child* i thought..but God please stop staring at me I am already so embarrassed, *i think I should pick her up , hmm right* i gently picked her up thanks to training i had to go through after Ambrose was born and she continued to stare at me , maybe it's a competition, how can I as a father back down from challenges, I also started staring at her , soon she lost as her eyes got tired and she felt sleep ..I am pretty sure I looked smug but soon i felt embarrassed thinking about about it , it's so childish of me to act like that

When I finished singing i saw them both sleeping peacefully, unknown to me a smile took place on my unusually cold face ..I was tired but my mind was restless , so I just got up and decided to check on my dad ' cough' I mean father...when I reached my mo.., i mean step mother's room , I say my father having a staring competition with my dad , * childish hehe* I wanted to look cold but unknown to me my smile made me looked gentle..

*Ambrose * I saw my eldest child and my little sun standing at the gate , he had a small smile on his face , he looks gentle , and after the years of seeing him being cold to me , this expression warms my heart ,like a person stuck in the waves got the life saving grace , like a person who was drowing got the blessing to see his loved ones for last time , it will be painful but also his most cherished moments before death.
I was deep in my thoughts when he called for me " father" I wanted to tell him to call me dadda like you used to do but after seeing this beautiful smile , I don't trust my luck enough to say anything like that .so I just smiled , a smile that always appears on my face seeing him happy . I asked him to come inside..he stiffened as he seems to realise i saw him but a second later he came inside...
He saw the child i was holding..."she's so small" he said not realising how soft his voice was ."she sure is"I said smiling.,"she's sleeping, put her in the crib"he said to me like he can feel my tiredness , "well i don't wanna wake her up " he looked at me with the face that clearly says' seriously '..he then rolled his eyes , at this point I felt amused by his action. Maybe the myth is wrong, I think the child born at midnight brings people together.." do you wanna hold her?" I asked..he seems to be in his thoughts when finally decided to decline..his eyes looks tired , he is definitely sleepy but still came here to check on us...he sure have his mother's habits..no matter how tired she was , she would still check on everyone before going to sleep...she was really my sun...well i still have a little sun but this sun needs to get back it's light to glow for us..
Finally I made the decision of putting her in the crib...and took him in my arms ..and i think he is too tired to put up a fight....I smiled seeing him putting his head on my shoulder...this just feels right...i motioned my shadow guard to protect them both..and took my little sun to my room...we both need each other to heal ..but we both are too stubborn to admit it...but even if i don't admit he's and will always be my first priority..
Well congratulations to me to finally get my little baby back in my arms even if he'll be back to behaving cold with me..but right now let me enjoy his presence...
