Husband With Benefits-Chapter 600: Babies
Chapter 600: Babies
Never in his life had he imagined he would say these words to anyone other than Olivia. And yet, as he stood there in the delivery room, holding two perfectly wrinkly and beautifully ugly babies, he declared to them, "I never thought I’d say this, but I think I love you two more than anyone else in the world... just a little less than your mom, but more than I ever thought possible towards anyone else."
He leaned down and kissed each of their foreheads gently before turning to Olivia. She lay on the bed, exhausted but radiant, her eyes filled with love. Seb walked over, bent down, and kissed her tenderly on the lips. "Thank you, Olivia. They are so perfect! Each day you make me happier."
Gently, he placed the babies on her chest and watched as they snuggled a bit as she held each close to her. They were so tiny...As she held them in her arms, she smiled contendedly," It is you who makes me happy each day, Seb."
Seb smiled and gently kissed her lips. "Now that these two are here, you can catch some rest instead of having to rush to the bathroom every minute."
Olivia chuckled weakly and then told him," Take them outside and show them to their uncles. They’re probably climbing the walls by now."
Seb nodded and carefully, he gathered the twins into his arms and headed toward the door. As he stepped into the hallway, he saw his brothers sitting there anxiously, looking as if they were in the middle of the most important deal of their lives.
Looking down at his two well swaddled babies, he walked outside and carefully raised them a bit higher and announced," Ladies and gentlemen, may I present to you the newest members of our family," he announced with a broad grin. "Meet Innocenza Frost and Vincenzo Frost."
As everyone saw the babies, their faces lit up with a mixture of surprise, awe, and pure joy. There was a moment of stunned silence, followed by an eruption of cheers and laughter before Ian clapped his hands," Come on, cough up!" ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com
Seb raised an eyebrow, curiously, " Cough up what? What bet? Did you guys wager on my children?"
Ian laughed, waving the bills triumphantly. "We had a little wager going. Erasmi and Lucien here thought it would be two boys, Gabe and Demetri were sure it would be two girls, and I bet on one of each."
"I can’t believe you guys bet on my babies!" Seb scolded them with narrowed eyes, causing the others to look at him in concern.
"Are you going to be offended?" Ian asked cautiously. He wasn’t much worried though. If Seb was offended, they would simply wait till he was not holding the babies and then bash him up. Give him something real to be offended about.
Meanwhile, Seb shook his head and complained, "You should have told me. I would have upped the stakes."
"Nah! You can’t be in on the bet. That is the rule for the next generation."
"Rule for the next gen?"
As Ian was about to explain, Nora interrupted," For the love of! Ian Frost! We are waiting to hold the little babies! You guys want to talk business, get out!"
"Well, Isabella! We want to hold the babies too but they are too tiny..."
"They won’t grow up in the next few minutes so you’re going to have to hold them now or get out of the way!"
Ian laughed and moved aside, waving everyone else to do the same. "Alright, alright. Nora, you go first."
Nora turned to Seb with a grin, her eyes sparkling with excitement. "Give me one of them, Seb."
Seb carefully handed over Innocenza to Nora, watching as her face softened with a wistful smile. "Meet your God-daughter, Innocenza Frost."
Nora’s eyes widened," God daughter?" Just then, Demetri came behind her, holding her and little Innocenza in his arms as he smiled down at the little baby, smiling softly," We’re honoured, Seb. Thank you."
Gabe on the other hand snorted," I’m horrified! Poor Ines! She is going to suffer for having a father and Godfather like you. And what about our Vincenzo?"
Seb smiled and then handed Lucien the little baby," Vincenzo, meet your Godfather Lucien. You can harass him all you want and create havoc in his life."
Lucien’s eyes widened in shock as Seb carefully placed Vincenzo in his arms. He looked down at the tiny baby, his hands trembling slightly. "Godfather? Me?" he stammered, his voice barely above a whisper. "Seb, are you sure about this?"
Seb chuckled and nodded. "Absolutely, Lucien. You’re going to be an amazing godfather."
Lucien’s expression was a mix of horror and awe as he looked at the baby as if it were a ticking bomb. "I... I don’t know what to say," he admitted, his voice quivering. "I’m honored, really, but... what if I drop him?"
The room erupted in laughter then as Gabe clapped Lucien on the back, nearly making him jump. "Relax, Lucien. Babies aren’t made of glass."
"Easy for you to say," Lucien retorted, still looking down at Vincenzo with wide eyes. "I once dropped a plate of spaghetti on my foot and needed five stitches. Don’t you guys remember that?"
Seb snorted. "My baby isn’t a plate of spaghetti. Also, if you drop him, I will kill you."
Lucien glanced up, looking even more horrified. "But what if he starts wriggling? Or sneezes? Do babies sneeze this young?"
Gabe rolled his eyes. "Yes, Lucien, babies sneeze. Just hold him like this," he said, adjusting Lucien’s grip slightly. "See? Not so scary."
Lucien’s grip relaxed slightly, though he still looked like he was handling time bomb. "Okay, Vincenzo," he said slowly, "just... don’t explode or anything."
"Support his head, support his head," Lucien muttered, as if repeating a mantra. He looked down at Vincenzo, who yawned widely, and his face softened. "Okay, maybe you’re not so terrifying after all."
However, he didn’t have much time to hold the little babies as they were soon oohed and ahhed over.
