Chapter-68

Vanessa's POV:

Few months later,

I tried to comfort Ares, "Baby...... just few more minutes.... don't cry...."

He kept crying loudly, he is sick. I am getting worried too.

Seth took Ares from me as he said, "It's ok little tiger... We are here to get solution for your problem..."

I heard Greg annoyed, "Enough already you 3... he just has a cold.... Doctor will fix it, don't panic..... Parents at least should be in senses...."

Seth glared at him, he warned, "No jokes in case of my son..... He isn't feeling his best....."

Terry rubbed Ares's back as he said, "He is a strong little man.... don't over react...."

Soon, we got him checked, and Terry was indeed right. Ares has a common cold, it's just I got scared.... he never gets this sick. He never cries this much too.

I hugged him tighter, I whispered, "Baby.... everything is going to be fine.... Mom is here..."

Seth said taking Ares in his arms, "Don't carry him... you will get tired.... it's not good for you...." Yea... Ares's is almost 20 months old, and got bigger heavier.

But that's not why Seth suggested me not to carry him, In fact because he worried about the second one coming in this world soon. I recently discovered I am pregnant again.

This pregnancy is going to be hard, because this little one is draining me in just one month of pregnancy... but honestly I can't wait to have another child of mine in my arms.

I said, "I am fine.... I am just worried about Ares...."

Ares was already sleeping in Seth's arm looked so cute, my poor baby is tired.

Seth whispered talking my hand, "Still you don't need to worry, Sugar.... I can take care of 3 of you...."

We were walking out through the hallway, when my feet stopped in shivers. I saw them talking a body covered with white cloth out of the operation theater. I hated seeing this.

I noticed the nurse carrying a small child in her hand, she looked at the child in pity.

Why my heart hurt seeing that child?

The doctor said to the nurse walking away busy, "Report the authorities about the dead victim of car crash.... and call the orphanage for the baby....."

The nurse agreed.

My breath got lost as I looked at that little baby worried. The baby is orphan?

it must have some family?

I stopped the nurse, "Hey excuse me?"

She looked at me, I walked to her to see this beautiful child. The baby has golden skin, eyes are brown.... this baby must be the most beautiful new born I ever seen.

I asked, "What ... happened here?.... and About the baby?"

The nurse looked at me questioned, not ready to give any information. I understand this sounds weird... but I feel something for the child.

Seth noticed the expression on the nurses face, he warned, "Answer the question...."

The nurse may notice the serious threat in Seth's voice. She said, "Am..... ... There was a serious car crash an hour ago, this Brown family was in it..... this family had a young couple and an old lady.... The Father and the old women died on spot.... the pregnant lady was barely alive.... but she died.... so this baby girl is going to orphanage....."

I looked the child heartbroken. I can hear my heart whipping for her. I don't know why I feel this.... but she looks like she is mine..... the way her clueless eyes searched for someone .... she looks like she needs me....

I cannot let her go....

The nurse said, "I should take her to... to my in charge...."

I nod saying, "Ok.... thanks...."

I saw her walking away, only when I noticed Seth saying, "Terry.... hold Ares for a second..."

Seth walked to the nurse, he rushed to her. The nurse looked at him like she saw ghost, and after Seth spoke something, she looks like she was insane.

He took the baby girl in his arms, and said something to the head doctor. He came back walking to me, while my heart was beating so fast.

Seth never let his eyes of this child.

I was so excited to see her this close when Seth brought her near. Seth said serious, "She is ours from now on....."

I looked at Seth, my eyes went moist. I embraced him knowing I wanted to do this.... I wanted her to stay....

In the palace,

Ares was sleeping and so was this little angle, You should have seen the surprise on Martha's face, and then the joy afterwards.

I just love her so much, the more I look at her more madly in love I am with her

I feel it, she was meant to be mine.

She was meant to be my daughter.

I touched her small cheeks as I whispered, "Destiny does exist.... my baby...."

Seth walked in as he said, "I checked.... She had no one left...."

I looked at him, but I can sense how worried he was. I whispered, "If... If we weren't there then... then what would have happened of our daughter...."

Seth sat near the baby, he grabbed her tiny hand kissing it. He whispered, "I am glad... we were there..."

Seth said truly, "I just knew when I saw her.... I couldn't leave her there.... Vanessa... I did right?"

I smiled at him, I said in tear and joy, "You did what I wanted.... I want to embrace her.... You did the best...."

I confessed, "I wanted to take her in my arms... but I had no courage.... Faith made us meet her, Seth..... She is our daughter now .... I can't be more happy...."

Seth was in tears looking at the baby. He said, "We will need a lot of help now..... We will have 3 kids soon..."

I laughed, I whispered, "I know.... but we will be a family.... isn't what this we all wanted?"

I kissed Seth, he whispered, "Yes.... I got everything I ever wanted...."

Me too....

Seth turned to the baby as he said, "Now.... what will be my angle called?"

I whispered, "You thought of something?...."

Seth said, "Lavina... How is it?"

I smiled agreeing.

I whispered, "Lavina Morris....." Her name is pretty as she is.

Our complete family.... Life gave me lot of pain, but graced me with someone as special as him.... and how ever he is... he treasures me a lot... he loves me a lot.... he loves our this family a lot....

That's enough for us.... that's everything we ever wanted....

As I look at him I see a child who never got to heal.... but he turned to a man who will bring the world for his children.

Some wounds are better not be healed, but to be reminded and fix the mistakes of the past.

He maybe a bad son... but he is a best father and a perfect husband...

Forgetting every rock around the road, we should just focus on the bright light at the end... we lose something, we learn something but never give up...

The darkness in love doesn't matter, as long as his arms are there at the end for me.

I will accept every scar and wound on his heart and body, because I know his soul. Because I can feel his soul, his love for me....

2 years later,

Seth's POV:

I made Lavina sit near Vanessa on this sofa, I make sure it looks classy and royal enough. I said making this 2 year old sit properly, "Baby..... look at the camera man ok?...."

Vanessa was giving final touched to Ares's coat as she pulled it to fix it. She was holding baby Aiken on her lap. He is 17 months old. He was busy sucking the pacifier just observing everyone.

Vanessa said, "Ares... you messed up your sleeves, baby.... we prepared a lot for the photo shoot...."

Ares said boldly, "I look good in anything..." His 3 and a half year old, can you believe his words.

I smirked on his confidence.

I felt Lavina holding my finger, she looked at me with those dove eyes, she said, "Dada.... I... scared...."

I can do anything for these kids, and when they are like this near me, it makes me want to be a better human.

I said putting a smile on my face, "Nothing to be worried.... Dada is here.... put on your biggest smile..."

I tickled her a little earning a small smile on her face. Soon we took our pose for the pictures. I will be honest, it took us 4 to 5 tires.

But at the end we got them all nice and perfect.

I carried Lavina and Aries in my arms. Both of them had their hands around my neck. I said, "Let's get some ice cream.... You all worked hard!!!"

Both of them cheered sharing a clap.

Vanessa whispered, "You are spoiling their habits...."

I defended, "Little ice cream is good for smiles.... and only if you both promise to brush your teeth after words...."

Aries said, "Promise..." Lavina followed those words. Both of them are cutest, but I cannot forget this chubby cutie in Vanessa's arms.

He is hugging her like a kola, I said, "And some baby food for little Aiken..." He make a face, his lower lip trembled as he started crying.

Vanessa laughed as she tried to comfort him, I don't know how he understand this meant no ice cream for him. He is too smart for a toddler or he is just a big foodie.

I said, "Sorry... sorry... My son... let's get you little ice cream too..."

I never knew I was meant for something so beautiful, a family a person as me don't deserve. I thought like hated me, but now that I look back, it all happens and then life gives us something to cherish again.
