The Werewolf King's Bride-Chapter 564: First Tooth

(From Blue’s Perspective)

I woke up when it was almost morning. My body was sore. Maybe I should have told him to be gentler. It was on me. I was the one who told me to do whatever he wanted.

Dem was sleeping like a log, like he always did after a full moon night. I put on his shirt which was on the ground and went to Dion’s room. I woke up hearing his cry.

"You have woken up, baby? Are you hungry?"

Dion was on his stomach, raising his head and his black eyes on me as he cried more after seeing me, although the tone was different.

I picked him up and sat down on the single couch, which was placed there so I could feed him. Dion calmed down as soon as I started feeding him.

"Ah, my back is so sore," I groaned.

I tried to position myself as comfortably as I could on the couch, however, I wished it was a bit larger. The size just was not comfortable enough. Maybe I should change it.

My hair was very untidy. I had not cut it because I wanted to see how it felt to keep it that long. It was a hassle, but sometimes, it was fun too.

Dion’s hair had gotten quite long too. He was born with a head full of hair. We first cut it last month.

"Honey, we cut your hair only last month. Why is it so long already?"

I caressed his soft hair. I liked to do it a lot. Honestly, I liked to hold my son near and even sniff him because he always smelled nice. And he was really soft and small. I just always felt the need to protect him.

After I fed him, I took him to our bedroom and climbed on the bed. I lay down on my back and sat him on my stomach. He giggled every time I said something or smiled.

"Dion, you know you are going to get a sibling before you turn one? You will be a big brother," I said to him. Who knew if he understood or not, but he kept giggling and clapping on my chest excitedly. Doctor Dimitri said it was because he recognized the sound of my voice and felt safe and happy around me. He was excited around Dem too, but he always giggled more with me.

As they said, at this age, kids felt closer to their mothers. "What do you think you will have? A brother or a sister? Daddy thinks you will get a sister, but we never know. You can even have a baby brother too. You guys will be like twins as your age will be too close to each other."

"Daddy is sleeping like a log, isn’t he? And Mommy had to get up and feed our little baby. Then again, Daddy needs rest. He works very hard and sometimes, our little Dion makes things a little difficult for us. But you know, we love our little baby anyway."

I ticked him with my nose and he giggled. He got hold of my hair once again and started pulling it.

"Dion, let go, baby. Don’t hurt Mommy."

It was easier this time as he had not fisted his hand completely. Otherwise, it would have tested my physical strength once more.

"Uhm…," Dem groaned in his sleep and opened his eye slightly.

"Hey," I smiled and removed the strand of hair from his eye.

"Hey," he said back. He rubbed Dion’s back gently while still fighting his sleepy eye. He looked really adorable when he was sleepy.

I placed Dion between us. Dem placed his arm around Dion and pulled him closer and fell asleep almost immediately. Dion who did not mind intimacy kept playing with his hands.

I chuckled and also fell asleep within a while. I loved moments like this. Our little family was truly a blessing to me. I especially loved watching my husband, who always said he would not be a good father, be the best father to our son. He loved Dion and was not afraid to show it or say it. He tried his best.

In his sleep, he had once said he could never accept someone else into our family; it would always be the two of us. I had been pregnant with Dion at that time. It made me scared, but I tried to believe. Now, anyone could see how perfectly Dem accepted our son into our family and would do the same for our second child.

We slept till noon. At least, I did. I could sleep more. Dem woke me up to have lunch. He never liked skipping meals. He was rather serious about food.

"Is your body okay?" he asked. Dion was awake and playing with his toes.

"Yeah," I said and yawned.

"When did he come here?" he asked, pointing at Dion. "My bad. When did you bring him here?"

"At some point around dawn. You saw him and hugged him to sleep. Don’t you remember?"

"Did I? I was too sleepy, so I don’t remember," he said, running his fingers through his messy bed hair. His bed hair was something to die for. He looked insanely handsome.

I put a good outfit on Dion and took him with us to the dining hall. I fed him right after getting up, so he was in a good mood.

"I heard breastmilk is good for kid’s hair," I said.

"You mean, newborn’s hair?"

"Maybe, but we can even use it for Dion’s hair too. There is nothing wrong with using it, right? We would not use a lot, just a little."

"Nah, that’s…"

"What?"

"We have soap for hair, honey."

"I will ask Doctor Dimitri," I said and took a spoonful of the shrimp soup.

Dion started to demand something from the table, probably what I was having, but trying to reach for it. We had made a special high chair for him, which had a belt-like thing that kept him in place. But he was placed a little away from the food as one day, he had made a mess and we learned our lesson very well.

I took a small portion of the soup in the spoon and let it cool down before feeding Dion. Besides breastmilk, he could now have other food too.

"Do you like it?" I asked.

"I don’t know that, but he wants more," Dem said.

Dem sat on the right side of Dion. After having the third member of the family, we rarely sat face to face. Dion was mostly between us and we were on either side of him.

Dem mashed a little bit of honey-roasted carrot and fed him that.

"Ah, I wanted to check something…"

I grabbed Dion’s face gently and made him open his mouth. Just as I expected, a little front tooth was poking slightly through his gum.

"He is getting his first tooth, it seems," Dem said.

"I was surprised when I felt something sharp while feeding him just a while ago. You told me to hurry, so I forgot to check," I said.

"It’s so little."

"He is little, Dem. What do you expect?" I said. "Isn’t it adorable? Oh my, Dion, you have a tooth now. Your very first tooth!"

Dion grinned. I noticed the tooth was rather visible. Did it happen all of a sudden? Why did I not notice before? Then again, I had been sleepy when I fed him last night. And these days, the workload was not less in any way.

Dem smiled. "It’s weird seeing the child who was really little grow a tooth," he said.

"He was in my tummy. Can you imagine? I don’t know, it’s quite fascinating," I said.

That evening, I was on my way to the magic tower with Perita and Dion to show off Dion’s very first tooth. I was very excited. On our way, we came across Dem’s sister, Evelyn.

"It’s been a while, Blue," she said. "How are you now? I haven’t seen you after the fever."

Although she was in a side palace, we barely met. Ava had returned to the academy. Evelyn and Merrick decided to not travel for a while as Merrick broke his leg the other day, falling from a horse. His leg broke quite badly, so it would take a while to recover. Besides, before breaking his leg, around the time Dion caught the fever, he also caught it. Just like Dem, Evelyn also did not catch the fever.

It must be something about their immunity.

"And how is little Dion?"

"Both Dion and I are fine. He suffered quite a lot during the fever, but now he is better," I said. "What about Merrick? How is his leg? It was such an unfortunate event."

"He is in pain, but that’s expected. He broke his leg in a weird way. He fell and when I went there, his leg was literally in such a bad shape that I almost thought it was bent that way on purpose. It’s kind of like an artist badly drew a leg."

"That must be so painful. I hope he gets better soon," I said.
