Chapter - 21


    Sophia''s POV


    Bright sunrays falling on my face caused me to wake up. While I tried to stretch my body , I felt a heavy


    arm on my waist, Nick. I remembered how we sleptst which made me smile.


    I was unable to move because of the weight on my waist and my legs being tangled with his. I wiggled


    and finally was able to turn towards him.


    Even in his sleep he managed to look gorgeous. His mouth was a bit parted and his hair messy. He


    looked cute , unlike his usual intimidating look.


    I couldn''t control the urge to run my hands through his hair. All of a sudden I was pulled even closer to


    him by my waist. He was now looking at me and his lips were slightly raised at the corners.


    " Good morning , Sophia." , His morning voice was so hot , God!


    " Good morning ." I smiled and turned my head to look at the clock. It was already 8 and my eyes


    widened.


    " Nick we are going to bete . Get up ! " He still didn''t leave me.


    " Oh God,Nick ! I know you don''t have to be on time but I do ." Instead of moving he had an amused


    smile on his face.


    " Nick ? Are you even - " He cut me off.


    " It''s Sunday ." He spoke and then I remembered.


    I was too embarassed to speak.


    "Yeah .. right." , I said looking down at his chest.


    " So , now can I hold you ?" He asked . His words sent such a warm feeling to my heart. I quietly


    nodded.


    Some more minutes were spent in thefortable silence before someone knocked on the door.


    "Come in ." Nick said.


    The door opened and Ethan poked his head in searching for something. When his eyesnded on me,


    he grinned and let himself properly in.


    " I was looking for you ." He said to me.


    " Aww ,e here " , I called him.


    Moving away from Nick ,I made space for Ethan between us where he came and sat down.


    " Yesterday I went to sleep before you came home , so I went to see you in your room but you were not


    there. So I came here. " Ethan''s words made me feel so good. I loved it that every morning he likes to


    see me first.


    " So now the first thing you do these days is look for your Mom ? I don''t see youing to me every


    morning ." Nick faked hurt to which Ethan grinned. Then all of a sudden he remembered something.


    " Will you and Mom be sleeping together from now on ?" Ethan asked Nick.


    " Yes , sweetheart." Nick replied.


    " That means you two love each other now ?" Ethan asked, this time looking at me. I couldn''t say yes


    to him. I didn''t wanna lie as well.


    " Ethan , it''s Sunday , so what do you think we should do today ?" Nick diverted the topic and it worked.


    I smiled thankfully at him.


    " I don''t know. Mom can decide." Ethan looked at me with hopeful eyes.


    " Mumma''s boy ." Nick muttered and Ethan looked offended by it as he pouted. It''s quite usual that


    boys don''t like thispliment.


    " Oh , you are in and simple jealous because Ethan just thought of asking for suggestion from the


    smarter parent." I yfully raised my brows .


    " Yes Dad is jealous ." Ethan chirped and we high-fived giggling, to which Nick yfully rolled his eyes.


    " We could spend the day baking some cookies and having a movie marathon . Just us three at our


    home ." I suggested.


    Ethan looked pleased with my idea.


    " Yes , we will stay at home and have a lot of fun." He raised his hands to show how much fun we were


    going to have.


    " A lot of fun you say ?" I smiled mischievously at Nick and he understood what I was thinking as he


    returned the smile.


    Ethan looked confused just before we started tickling him . He fell back on the bedughing .


    " St-stop .. don''t." He said between hisughs but we continued our torture. The only sound in the


    room, was of ourughter. After he struggled a lot , we finally stopped.


    He was catching his breath and I bent down to kiss him on his nose. I looked at Nick to see him stare at


    us with adoration in his eyes. Even I felt contended with such a beautiful morning.


    Nick''s POV


    I had Sophia''s things moved into my room by our maids. I was d that she agreed to move in


    although I treated her so poorly but I promise to make up for everything.


    Currently she was baking cookies while Ethan tried helping her .


    She was encouraging his efforts by making it seem how great of a help he was to her.


    This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org.


    She really knew how to treat a child . Seeing this , brought back memories from today morning. I don''t


    remember thest time I was so rxed. I had no worries , no pressure , no bitterness . The sound of


    ourughter was filling the room . I was spending time with my family, my family! I felt soplete.


    I strolled into the kitchen.


    " Chocte cookies . " I stated, inhaling the delicious smell .


    " And blueberry muffins." Sophia said with a smile while she kept folding the ingredients for the muffins.


    I took one cookie from the tray and tasted it. I almost moaned at the taste.


    " This is so good. You''re really good at it." Iplimented.


    "Thanks ." She smiled, satisfied.


    ....


    We were currently sitting on the sofa and watching the second movie. Ethan was leaning on Sophia


    while I had my arms around her. I liked being so close to her , her rose fragrance hitting my nostrils.


    The blueberry muffins were keeping uspany and I must add they were equally delicious. I wonder


    if she even cooks this well.


    After we hadpleted another movie , they were searching for the third one . I wasn''t really enjoying


    the movie , but I wanted to be there and spend time with them.


    I heard the doorbell ring.


    " I guess it''s the delivery guy. I will get it." I said getting up and Sophia nodded. She had insisted on


    cooking but she had already done baking and I didn''t want to tire herself out in the kitchen. I could cook


    but sitting here definitely seemed a better option. So I had ordered pizza for us.


    As I approached the living room , Sophia''s head instantly snapped towards me. She widely grinned on


    seeing the box in my hand. I took it to the kitchen and after a few minutes the maids brought in the


    pizza, served in tes.


    She and Ethan instantly dug in like they didn''t have the muffins a while ago. But not more than a few


    bites and Sophia was full.


    ........


    I was watching them as Sophia and Ethan kept putting the spoon filled with ice-cream in their mouth


    keeping their eyes on the screen.


    I wonder how she could love calories so much yet manage to maintain her frame. It was already 10 and


    past Ethan''s bed time.


    I went up and switched off the tv.


    " Why would you do that ?" Sophia asked with creased eyebrows.


    " We have watched enough. It''ste and we should sleep." I said sternly.


    " Let usplete that one atleast." Sophia said.


    "Please Dad ." Ethan joined her.


    " No ." I announced.


    " Please ." They whined together with a sad pout on both of their faces. I found it cute but I couldn''t say


    that. I couldn''t believe that Sophia was behaving just like Ethan. Guess I got to deal with two whiny


    children.


    "No." I crossed my arms against my chest.


    Both of them huffed at the same time and got up.


    "Goodnight Mom ." He kissed Sophia''s cheek and she returned the gesture.


    " Goodnight Dad ."I wished back. He waved and waddled back to his room.


    We walked up to our room. It didn''t take her long to fall asleep as we cuddled under the cover. I smiled


    at the feeling of having her so close .


    I was starting to really love the idea of a family.
