Angel of Darkness (STOPPED TEMPORARILY)

Angelina

A few weeks had passed since the birth of Karson and Alannah, and our lives had been filled with the joy and excitement of having the twins in our family. Liliana and Nicholas were adjusting to parenthood beautifully, and seeing them with their babies only made my heart swell with love and happiness.

As for me, being an aunt to Karson and Alannah was an entirely new experience. I found myself completely captivated by their tiny features and sweet coos. They were so adorable and innocent, and I couldn't help but feel a deep sense of love and protectiveness towards them.

However, there was a little secret I was trying to hide from everyone, including myself-I had developed a case of baby fever. Yes, me, Angelina, who had always claimed she never wanted kids, was secretly enchanted by these precious little ones.

Kai seemed to have noticed my growing affection towards the babies and found great delight in teasing me about it. He would catch me staring at them with a soft smile on my face and would playfully nudge me, saying things like, "Oh, I see you're getting baby fever, Angel."

I would deny it with a quick shake of my head, trying to brush off his playful accusations. "Don't be ridiculous, Kai. I'm just enjoying spending time with them. It doesn't mean anything," I would retort.

But the truth was, I couldn't deny the longing I felt deep inside. Watching Liliana and Nicholas with their children, witnessing the love and connection they shared as a family, made me yearn for that kind of bond too.

One evening, as we sat together on the couch, the twins snuggled in their parents' arms, Kai leaned in and whispered in my ear, "You know, Angel, it's okay if you want kids someday. You don't have to pretend you don't."

I sighed, knowing that Kai saw right through me. "I know, it's just... it's a big decision, and I've always been so sure that I didn't want kids. But seeing them... it's making me question everything," I admitted quietly.

Kai smiled warmly and wrapped his arm around my shoulders. "It's okay to have doubts and to change your mind. We don't have to have it all figured out right now. Just know that whatever you decide, I'll be right there with you," he said reassuringly.

I leaned my head against his shoulder, feeling comforted by his words. "Thank you," I whispered.

As the weeks went by, I continued to spend time with Karson and Alannah, cherishing every moment I had with them. They had a way of melting my heart and filling it with a love I never knew was possible.

And while I may not have everything figured out just yet, one thing was clear-I was grateful for the love and support of my family, especially Kai, who always understood and accepted me, no matter what.

As I looked at the twins sleeping peacefully in their parents' arms, I knew that whatever the future held for me, it would be filled with love, laughter, and the joy of being a part of this wonderful family. And as Kai teased me once again about my baby fever, I couldn't help but smile and think that maybe, just maybe, he was right.

As I mentioned that I was going back to my penthouse, Kai's playful demeanor shifted instantly, and he started acting like a child who didn't want his favorite toy taken away.

"Why do you have to leave me?" he pouted, his bottom lip sticking out in an adorable manner.

I couldn't help but chuckle at his reaction. "I just want to go home, Kai. It's nothing personal," I replied, trying to reason with him.
