Stupid Wife [Chaelisa]

38. Finally Completed

Roseanne Park-Manoban's POV.

"You can’t help looking at them that way, right?"

I look to my side, seeing my best friend sitting next to me, with little Seth in her lap. A smile curls my lips and I quickly pick up her little one, tucking it into my lap.

“What are you talking about?"

“The three loves of your life." My eyes automatically go to the other side of the yard, where my wife, our two children and nephews are sitting in the shade of a tree while they seem to have fun. "How are things?"

“Well, I’ve been sleeping little because of Gabriel, but I don’t complain. I love the feeling of being a mother and knowing that this little one needs my care."

“It’s really good, it’s one of the most beautiful loves in the world. I didn’t plan on having Seth, but today I’m grateful that I chose to keep the pregnancy. I didn’t know how much I missed experiencing it all over again, even if the nights were exhausting."

I quickly agree with her speech. Having such a young child at home is a sacrifice. You spend the day tired, and the night even more, because a child will always need you. Besides, I have Louis, who also needs my attention and care, even though he is a smart and more independent boy. Even with the help of my wife, I still stay tuned to the two hundreds and twenty, because every second I’m on alert to be there, in case my children need me."

"Being a mother is that, right? Being close, observing and being aware of our children’s every step."

At this point, an excited Jisoo approaches the children and takes Toni and Louis in her arms, throwing them both over her shoulders. Harry tries to climb on her aunt, grabbing her waist while my sister-in-law gestures as if explaining to him that she couldn’t handle holding the three of them. It makes my best friend and I laugh.

The day passed in the best possible way. It’s always an immense happiness to be able to share moments with family, being surrounded by the people I love, it makes everything easier. Even with the daily stress that keeping a house organized, having a family, marriage and work end up causing it, in the end, it’s all worth it. I wouldn’t be able to change anything, although I still really want to get my memories back, they hardly miss me so much.

Today I’m overflowing with love, I have everything I need, and I will have even more. I’ve been having dreams about my pregnant wife, and she looks so happy and even more beautiful. I can’t wait for the moment when we’ll have this.

She deserves it, I believe we both deserve it, after everything that’s happened. In these almost two years that have been like a fresh start, the time has come for us to earn an even greater reward.

“You are the most good smelling boy in the whole world, you know?" My son makes extremely cute sounds as if he understands the compliment, opening his mouth and making small pops while moving his little fingers trying to grab me. He loves hugs, looks like a koala puppy. I finished putting it on, I had bathed it and took the opportunity to drink mine too. "Come on, let’s see what those two are up to."

I take my little one in my arms and quickly he wraps his around my neck, laying his head on my shoulder. A smile spreads across my face and I close my eyes briefly to inhale his baby scent before leaving his room. We had to convert the guest room into his, and I believe we will have to do a renovation soon, or move house. Lisa and I are going to have to conserve on how we do it, because soon we’ll have one more kid in the house and we need to have a place to accommodate him.

“Mom, you’re stealing!"

“I am not. You who don’t know how to defend your spaceship!"

I hear the beginning of an argument even before I open the door to my son’s room, where my son and wife are sitting on the floor, surrounded by lego pieces. I have no reaction when faced with that scene, mother and son as if they were the same age because they accuse the other of doing something wrong. There’s no denying that I have three kids instead of just two.
