I Rejected You, Alpha

ELEIA’S POV

—

After a few days of going to the hospital everyday to see Aiden , he’s gotten better and is now put on bed rest at home for another day just in case .

The doctor said that he should ease into the work , but I don’t think that is what’s going to happen .

He will jump into work again , take care of Felix and cook like usual .

But I have to step up because he needs to rest , so I will need a plan .

I can cook before he gets back from training or meetings , there’s nothing I can do about him helping me with Felix through the night because sometimes I am out like a log and don’t even hear Felix cry .

While Aiden is still sleeping , I woke up , picked Felix up , changed his diaper and fed him before I went downstairs , carefully walking down the stairs with Felix before I put him down in his car chair to continue sleeping while I made pancakes for breakfast .

The flower had flown everywhere when I turned on the mixer , but I cleaned everything up and used a spoon to mix the flower in before trying again .

Thankfully , I finished breakfast while Felix was still out cold .

‘Where are you ?’ Aiden’s voice echoes in my head and my body tenses . He isn’t going to like this , but I’m already done .

‘Making breakfast .’

He’s never came down faster .

“Eleia .” He shakes his head at me when walking through the door frame .

“Good morning to you too .” I smile guiltily .

“No , you shouldn’t be making me breakfast .” He leans with his hands on the counter .

His arm is completely healed and he uses the excuse he’s a hundred percent fine to do everything and anything he wants .

“I can do whatever I want .” I shrug as I continue to chop strawberries .

“You’re unbelievable .” He tuts .

“I think the word you were looking for , was amazing .” I beam , teasing him .

He rakes his hand through his hair , those blue eyes rolling to the back of his head before a low sigh comes from his mouth .

I focus on cutting the last strawberry as he rounds the kitchen island and stands behind me .

His arms snake around my waist and his hands lock in front of me .

“You are amazing .” He places a k**s on the top of my head before resting his chin where he kissed .

The wholesome feeling makes me feel complete .

“I know .” I grin as I pull the two plates closer and top the pancakes with strawberries and cream .

“Thank you , but next time , let me do it .”

After a few days of going to the hospital everyday to see Aiden , he’s gotten better and is now put on bed rest at home for another day just in case .

I don’t know if that is a demand or a question , but I am in love with this feeling too much to care .

“Eat up .” I beam and he takes the plate , kissing my cheek before he goes to sit down .

As I take my first bite , Felix begins to cry .

“Oh my goddess .” I put my fork down , trying to stay calm as possible as I get up and go get him .

Rosie and Stefan come down from their room , being chirpy as I feed Felix and put him back down for yet another nap .

Babies don’t do much , but when they’re older , that’s where the fun starts .

But right now , being here and looking at him while he’s sleeping , I feel complete .

FIVE MONTHS LATER

Having a lot of tummy time helps kids learn how to crawl , well that is what I read on the internet .

Aiden got me a phone and since I had it , I have been searching babies and everything on it .

I might have been a baby myself , but I never learned how to raise one .

But I learn something every day .

I sit outside while Aiden is training , the breeze is cool while the sun is hot , making it the perfect weather .

I watch as Felix chews on the teething toy we had gotten him before he turns on his tummy and I smile as he tugs at the grass , pulling a hand full out of the ground before letting it go again .

I giggle before lifting my phone , taking a picture and I inspect it , smiling at the happy looking kid .

Once I glance up , my eyes widen as he crawls forward onto the grass .

“Oh my goddess !” I hold my phone out , taking a video .

“Aiden !” I yell , not once looking away from him as he moves back to the blanket we’re sitting on .

“Aiden !” I call again , not sure if he heard me and he runs closer , stopping a few meters away as he watches our son crawl onto the blanket and off again .

“Do you see this ?” My eyes momentarily flicks up and the proudest smile covers his face .

He stands with a bare chest in shorts , his hands on his h**s , a wide smile on his face .

He looks dreamy .

Felix falls onto his stomach again and Aiden comes over , picking him up .

“Aren’t you tough ?” He baby talks him .

“Stop that .” I glare at him and he gives me a baffled look .

“What ?” He frowns , “I already told you not to talk like that , he needs to see the form of your mouth for the words if he’s ever going to learn how to talk .” I explain again .

It’s probably the trillionth time I had told him this , but he doesn’t really care what the internet says .Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

“Whatever .” He smiles as he puts Felix in his chair that he can sit up in .

“You’re a big boy now .” He boops his nose before standing upright , “And you and me are having some alone time tonight .” He winks .

“When he sleeps ?” I ask with raised brows .

“I managed to pull Stefan and Rosie into babysitting for one night .” He shrugs and my mouth falls agape .

Rosie said she did not want to babysit through the night because she was afraid that she might not wake up and hear him , so I am honestly curious to how he got them to agree , but my chance of asking is gone when he jogs back to the training field .

I take Felix back inside the house and I start to unbox the baby proofing system we bought about a month ago .

Aiden and I have been meaning to put everything up in case he started crawling , but never got to it because we keep on forgetting , but now I have to do it .

Hours go by and I run around checking on Felix while putting up gates at the top and bottom of the stairs , I put soft sponges on every hook and corner that Felix might pop and eye out and put handle lockers on every drawer .

“Where’s my favorite boy in the entire world ?” Rosie’s voice booms through the house .

“Right next to you .” Stefan deadpans , acting as if his feelings got hurt but he’s the first to pick up Felix when he crawls over to them .

“Oh my goddess ! When did he start crawling ?” Rosie gasps as I sit on the floor between tools and boxes and tape .

“Today and he hasn’t stopped , unless he sleeps for only an hour .” I roll my eyes .

“Life of motherhood .” Stefan scoffs , tossing Felix in the air and the sharpest giggle erupts from him .

I remember when he started giggling , it feels like yesterday .

It’s sounds like a squeak , but it’s better , it makes my heart explode in happiness , it makes my soul feel complete and my body feel relaxed .

It’s like a cure for depression .

“We’ll take this little man off your hands now .” Rosie squeezes his cheek .

“I haven’t packed his things yet .” I pout , sighing as I toss the plastic in my hands onto the floor .

“Well I can do it .” She shrugs , but I don’t trust her to know what he needs .

“Yeah , I’ll quickly help .” I stand and we head upstairs to pack what Felix might need .
