I Rejected You, Alpha

ELEIA’S POV

—

After a few days of going to the hospital everyday to see Aiden , he’s gotten better and is now put on bed rest at home for another day just in case .

The doctor said that he should ease into the work , but I don’t think that is what’s going to happen .

He will jump into work again , take care of Felix and cook like usual .

But I have to step up because he needs to rest , so I will need a plan .

I can cook before he gets back from training or meetings , there’s nothing I can do about him helping me with Felix through the night because sometimes I am out like a log and don’t even hear Felix cry .

While Aiden is still sleeping , I woke up , picked Felix up , changed his diaper and fed him before I went downstairs , carefully walking down the stairs with Felix before I put him down in his car chair to continue sleeping while I made pancakes for breakfast .

The flower had flown everywhere when I turned on the mixer , but I cleaned everything up and used a spoon to mix the flower in before trying again .

Thankfully , I finished breakfast while Felix was still out cold .

‘Where are you ?’ Aiden’s voice echoes in my head and my body tenses . He isn’t going to like this , but I’m already done .

‘Making breakfast .’

He’s never came down faster .

“Eleia .” He shakes his head at me when walking through the door frame .

“Good morning to you too .” I smile guiltily .

“No , you shouldn’t be making me breakfast .” He leans with his hands on the counter .

His arm is completely healed and he uses the excuse he’s a hundred percent fine to do everything and anything he wants .

“I can do whatever I want .” I shrug as I continue to chop strawberries .

“You’re unbelievable .” He tuts .

“I think the word you were looking for , was amazing .” I beam , teasing him .

He rakes his hand through his hair , those blue eyes rolling to the back of his head before a low sigh comes from his mouth .

I focus on cutting the last strawberry as he rounds the kitchen island and stands behind me .Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

His arms snake around my waist and his hands lock in front of me .

“You are amazing .” He places a k**s on the top of my head before resting his chin where he kissed .

The wholesome feeling makes me feel complete .

“I know .” I grin as I pull the two plates closer and top the pancakes with strawberries and cream .

“Thank you , but next time , let me do it .”

After a few days of going to the hospital everyday to see Aiden , he’s gotten better and is now put on bed rest at home for another day just in case .

I don’t know if that is a demand or a question , but I am in love with this feeling too much to care .

“Eat up .” I beam and he takes the plate , kissing my cheek before he goes to sit down .

As I take my first bite , Felix begins to cry .

“Oh my goddess .” I put my fork down , trying to stay calm as possible as I get up and go get him .

Rosie and Stefan come down from their room , being chirpy as I feed Felix and put him back down for yet another nap .

Babies don’t do much , but when they’re older , that’s where the fun starts .

But right now , being here and looking at him while he’s sleeping , I feel complete .

FIVE MONTHS LATER

Having a lot of tummy time helps kids learn how to crawl , well that is what I read on the internet .

Aiden got me a phone and since I had it , I have been searching babies and everything on it .

I might have been a baby myself , but I never learned how to raise one .

But I learn something every day .

I sit outside while Aiden is training , the breeze is cool while the sun is hot , making it the perfect weather .

I watch as Felix chews on the teething toy we had gotten him before he turns on his tummy and I smile as he tugs at the grass , pulling a hand full out of the ground before letting it go again .

I giggle before lifting my phone , taking a picture and I inspect it , smiling at the happy looking kid .

Once I glance up , my eyes widen as he crawls forward onto the grass .

“Oh my goddess !” I hold my phone out , taking a video .

“Aiden !” I yell , not once looking away from him as he moves back to the blanket we’re sitting on .

“Aiden !” I call again , not sure if he heard me and he runs closer , stopping a few meters away as he watches our son crawl onto the blanket and off again .

“Do you see this ?” My eyes momentarily flicks up and the proudest smile covers his face .

He stands with a bare chest in shorts , his hands on his h**s , a wide smile on his face .

He looks dreamy .

Felix falls onto his stomach again and Aiden comes over , picking him up .

“Aren’t you tough ?” He baby talks him .

“Stop that .” I glare at him and he gives me a baffled look .

“What ?” He frowns , “I already told you not to talk like that , he needs to see the form of your mouth for the words if he’s ever going to learn how to talk .” I explain again .

It’s probably the trillionth time I had told him this , but he doesn’t really care what the internet says .

“Whatever .” He smiles as he puts Felix in his chair that he can sit up in .

“You’re a big boy now .” He boops his nose before standing upright , “And you and me are having some alone time tonight .” He winks .

“When he sleeps ?” I ask with raised brows .

“I managed to pull Stefan and Rosie into babysitting for one night .” He shrugs and my mouth falls agape .

Rosie said she did not want to babysit through the night because she was afraid that she might not wake up and hear him , so I am honestly curious to how he got them to agree , but my chance of asking is gone when he jogs back to the training field .

I take Felix back inside the house and I start to unbox the baby proofing system we bought about a month ago .

Aiden and I have been meaning to put everything up in case he started crawling , but never got to it because we keep on forgetting , but now I have to do it .

Hours go by and I run around checking on Felix while putting up gates at the top and bottom of the stairs , I put soft sponges on every hook and corner that Felix might pop and eye out and put handle lockers on every drawer .

“Where’s my favorite boy in the entire world ?” Rosie’s voice booms through the house .

“Right next to you .” Stefan deadpans , acting as if his feelings got hurt but he’s the first to pick up Felix when he crawls over to them .

“Oh my goddess ! When did he start crawling ?” Rosie gasps as I sit on the floor between tools and boxes and tape .

“Today and he hasn’t stopped , unless he sleeps for only an hour .” I roll my eyes .

“Life of motherhood .” Stefan scoffs , tossing Felix in the air and the sharpest giggle erupts from him .

I remember when he started giggling , it feels like yesterday .

It’s sounds like a squeak , but it’s better , it makes my heart explode in happiness , it makes my soul feel complete and my body feel relaxed .

It’s like a cure for depression .

“We’ll take this little man off your hands now .” Rosie squeezes his cheek .

“I haven’t packed his things yet .” I pout , sighing as I toss the plastic in my hands onto the floor .

“Well I can do it .” She shrugs , but I don’t trust her to know what he needs .

“Yeah , I’ll quickly help .” I stand and we head upstairs to pack what Felix might need .
