Chapter 158
Shortly after, they leave us so that I can rest but as soon as I have settled back into bed, the door swings open and reveals Kaden. I smile tiredly, happy that my best friend could make it. When I told him that I was pregnant, he made teasing comments about how a mini version of me would be twice as hard to handle but I'm excited now to see what his reaction will be to my twins.
He comes over and hugs me, grinning at me when he pulls away and then his jaw drops when he notices the two cribs on the opposite side of my bed. "No way."
"Way." Gabriel and I confirm, nodding our heads in amusement as Kaden rounds the edge of my bed.
He stands by their cribs, holding onto the edge and staring at them with a gentle smile. Playing with their tiny hands, he switches back and forth, soft murmurs escaping him as he greets them.
"You can hold them." I urge, watching as his head snaps up.
"What if I hurt them?" He asks distractedly, too busy grinning down at Ivan as his tiny hand clutches Kaden's finger tight.
"It would look bad for you as a God parent then." Gabriel chuckles, walking around to clap a shocked Kaden on the back.
"G-God parent...me?"
Gabriel nods, picking Ayla up gently before bouncing her when she lets out a short cry of discomfort. "You protected my mate and still do, you are always there for her when I can't be. We trust you as someone who can take care of our children should anything happen to us. We know you'll always be there for Ayla and Ivan."
Gabriel and I know there will be challenges in leading a kingdom, and with those challenges come many threats. We know his siblings and my friends will always be there for our kids but Kaden was perfect for the role when we were thinking about someone to watch over our children in the future if we happened to not be there.
Kaden was with me every step of the way, not only is he a great friend but he's like my guardian angel. He protected me when Gabriel lost himself to his beasts, he guarded my door day and night whilst I was in a coma even though the infirmary itself was being heavily guarded. He cared for me and helped me adjust after my transition.
Gabriel and I know without a doubt that Kaden will always be involved in our children's lives as a positive impact. We don't just want him to keep our children safe, we want someone who can teach our kids to be strong and resilient in life just like Kaden has been with all that he has been through.
He stares at us as if trying to decipher if we are serious or not, which makes me laugh and confirm that he is indeed the godparent of Ayla and Ivan.
"Guys...thank you. I promise that I will be the best godparent to your children, I won't let you down." His voice is slightly hoarse when he speaks, making me pull him in for a hug.
He picks up Ivan, an unsure expression on his face. But that all changes when Ivan cuddles up to him and a soft noise of content escapes his lips. Kaden grins so wide as he rubs the little boy's back, cradling his head so that it doesn't tilt back harshly.
"Guess who's my favourite twin." He chuckles softly, placing him down in his crib when I confirm that Ivan has indeed fallen asleep on his shoulder.
Gabriel passes Ayla over to Kaden, positioning his hands so that Kaden is holding her properly. I watch with a smile, rocking Ivan's cradle so that he sleeps soundly. I'm filled with so much love for my twins, the feeling is indescribable.
"You know...she's actually kind of cute." He smirks, holding Ayla close to his chest.
But that smirk drops as we hear her cry before Kaden's shirt has a wet patch on it. He cries out in disgust, making Ayla cry louder at the sudden sound. Immediately he places her back in her crib, holding his shirt away from his body before looking up at us with wide eyes.
"She peed on me!"
Gabriel and I can't hold in our laughter anymore and we burst into a fit of chuckles, watching as Kaden glares at us before taking his shirt off. Gabriel turns to change her clothes and put on a diaper before lulling Ayla to sleep. Her cries quieten down and before long, her soft breathing reaches my ears.
"I think I like the boy more. At least he won't piss all over me." Kaden grumbles when he walks out of the connecting bathroom.
"How do you know that? They can't help it." I smirk, snickering when he glares at me.
"The kid smiled at me when I picked him up -"
"No, he didn't." Gabriel rolls his eyes in amusement, crossing his arms as he takes a seat on the edge of my bed.
"You guys are just jealous that he likes Uncle Kaden more than his own parents." Kaden scoffs before making his way to the door. "Anyways, take care of yourself and call me if you need any help. I need to go find that kid a toy car."
"Don't you dare. They're not even old enough!" Gabriel follows him, glancing back at me with a mock scolding look when all I do is laugh at the idea.
"Small details!" Kaden waves him off, opening the door before turning back to us with an excited grin. "I'll make them race against each other."
And with that, he's rushing out the door and mumbling excitedly about how many toys he's going to buy them. Gabriel shuts the door before walking back to me, chuckles escaping his lips as he takes a seat beside me and picks up my hand.
"I think our kids are going to be very spoiled."
"We'll just have to keep everyone else in check along with Ayla and Ivan." I laugh, making space for him to lay with me.
"Have I told you how much I love you?" He asks, wrapping his arm around me.
"Many times, in fact." I sigh in content, smiling up at him when he caresses my cheek.
"Good. Never forget it. I will always love you unconditionally." He murmurs gently, sealing the promise with a kiss.
