Her Everything [ Book #1]

Chapter - 25

"Thank you Max, I'll take it from here," she said as she carried the basket in. Inside, Zeyad was up and speaking to his secretary, with his laptop on the little table for lunch.

Zeyad looked healthy, the bruises around his face had faded a little and his fractured ribs were not hurting that bad. It had been a week since the accident and he was recovering wonderfully.

"Can you for once not be working?"
Mariam interrupted, with disappointed look on her face but fondness in her eyes.

"Ah, baby, you're back. I missed you,"
He said, shutting his laptop with a cheeky smile that had Mariam melting. How could she ever be mad at this beautiful man?

"Don't baby me. I told you, no work."

"Sorry, mom" Zeyad rolled his eyes, and Mariam slapped his arm.
"Ouch! Injured man sitting here, woman."

"Eh. Anyway, Mummy called, she and Papa will be coming tomorrow when they discharge you. She said they want us to have dinner with them. She'll be cooking. At our place." Mariam informed him.

"Oh, she didn't have to. We can have Lucy make dinner,"

"I told her, but she insisted on preparing it. She's stubborn just like someone I know," She said, putting her finger on her chin in a thinking manner. "Wonder where I met this person."

"Hey! I am not stubborn," Zeyad defended and Marian raised a brow.
"Okay, okay. Maybe just sometimes. God, let a man breathe," He exaggerated which earned him an eye roll.

Zeyad had been extra funny and in high spirits, ever since he woke up after the accident. Mariam didn't know why, but she wasn't complaining. She loved a playful Zeyad. But oh well, she loved an angry Zeyad also. It didn't really matter what mood he was in because Mariam loved him anyway.

Before she could respond there was a commotion outside and they knew what or who it was. The door flew open and a pair of small unstable feet came running into the room.
"Daddy!" Zahaan exclaimed before crashing into Mariam's legs, hugging her making Mariam laugh.

"Zahaan, sweetheart, that's mommy. I am daddy," Zeyad corrected as he closed his wide opene arms with a frown and Mariam giggled more.

"But Zaan miss mommy," He said as Mariam picked him up.

"Of course you did you little monster," came Ethan's high pitched voice. "Boy, he won't stop babbling about his wonderful mother," he added rolling his eyes.

"Good to see you too Ethan," Mariam said shaking her head.

"Hey handsome. Ugh, you look so hot with those bruises and shit," Ethan told Zeyad, waving at Mariam.

"Excuse me?" Interrupted Ben from the door, looking offended.

"Yes?" Sassed Ethan, looking at his husband like he was dumb.

"Are you two done now? Because I missed my boy." Zeyad interrupted the other couple's bickering.

"Zaan miss mommy," Zahaan spoke again, no at all bothered by the adults' childish bickering.
"Mommy missed Zahaan too," Mariam relpied giving Eskimo kisses to her baby as he held her face in his small hands.

"Did you miss daddy?" She then asked to which he nodded shyly, placing his head on her shoulder. "Do you want to hug him? He missed you too."

Zahaan nodded again and crawled into Zeyad's lap, hugging him.
"I missed you, baby boy" Zeyad nuzzled his soft hair as Mariam watched the two with adoration in her eyes. Her eyes shifting to the silent couple, standing near the foot of the hospital bed. Her eyes flashed with sympathy for the childless couple.
