The Death of Me | A mafia story

Bonus Chapter I

"This was their own messy fairytale. We can't tell they lived happily ever after. We can only say that they lived, together, side by side, through the good and the bad, through the happy and the sad."

******************

To those who don't follow me on Instagram and doesn't know what this is; it's just a small extra bonus chapter, for both Ashton and Katherine, and Alex and Cara.
Happy reading!

PART ONE

Katherine's POV

"Here is number one," Alex said as he handed me Lilly.

I gave her to Ashton before I turned around and received the second package, "And here is number two," He added as he handed me Max and his bag. The little boy settled between my arms without making any noise. He rested his cheek over my chest as he played with the piece of bread in his tiny hands, chewing on it and making a mess over my clothes and his.

"Is that all?" I asked, my eyebrow raising and Alex nodded, "As far as I know, I have only two kids," He said, his eyebrows pulling closer in utter terror, "I hope there isn't more of them out there."

"We all have our doubts about that," I said and he shot me a glare.

His eyes flickered to Max in my arms and they softened right away before he inched closer and kissed his cheek. He ran his hand over the boy's soft hair and Max looked back at him, smiling as he let out that happy baby noise that makes my ovaries explode.

I pouted at his cuteness and tightened my arms around him, before I rested my cheek over his head, "I gave you two right now, I expect to receive two in the morning," Alex warned and I ushered him to just leave already.

"Bye, daddy!" Lilly said, waving her hand before she wrapped her arms around Ashton's neck, talking with him about something as he walked her inside.

Alex's gaze drifted from Lilly then to me, "If I know that she kissed your son, or he kissed her, I am gonna kill someone when I get back," He threatened and I pressed my hand over his shoulder, pushing him out of my house.

"How about you go and have fun with your wife and leave me to babysit your kids," I remarked and he cracked an appreciative smile, "I owe you one, sweetheart," He said and I rolled my eyes at him. He ruffled Max's hair one more time, "God, it's so hard to leave you!" He said, uncertainty etched lines over his forehead, unable to walk away just yet.

"You can have him back, if you want," I suggested and he shook his head immediately, scoffing at my offer, "No, no way, I am gonna go get laid, you look after these two cockblockers," His smile widened when he looked back at Max and ever so proudly added, "Look how he is resting his head on your boobs," His head tilted to the side, admiring his boy, "Aww he is just like me."

My jaw tightened and I kicked him in the leg, my hands busy holding the little boy, "Ouch," He said wincing and I shot him a glare, "Leave!" I shot out as I shut the door in his face, having enough of him for one day. I heard him mumble another thank you and that they can babysit Chase later. I shook my head and looked at Max in my arms, "How can you handle him?"

He looked up at me, his eyes so green and beautiful, enough to steal anyone's heart. He pushed the bread up into my face, offering me some and I chuckled, "No, thank you," I said as before I kissed his head, taking into that heart-melting baby scent and walked inside to see where Ashton disappeared into.
