The Butchers Love

Chapter 50

In the months after I gave birth to our precious son, William had spent every spare second with him. He was the one who would dress him in the morning and the one to calm him when he cried. The only thing he couldn't do was feed him, that was my job.

After supper, I made my way into the living room and leant against the doorway when I saw William mumbling to Eddie. I smiled and walked over towards him "what are you saying to him?" I asked before kissing his cheek and looking down at Edward.

"I made him promise to look after you" He beamed but then Edward grabbed onto William's hair and tugged it roughly, causing William to hiss.

"You see, he likes your hair as much as I do" I sat next to him on the sette and leant against his shoulder "You're my special person"

"And you're mine" Edward started crying again and William let out a small laugh before composing himself "hush little love shh, papa's here, papa's here" He cooed and looked up at me for approval, I smiled and nuzzled into his arm "Look here son your mother is being lovable, now that is a rare sight"

"Well thanks Will"

William gently caressed the newborn's cheek and smiled "You have the most amazing mother that this world can offer, so treat her well" he mumbled before kissing his head "I love you, Edward"

"Come on William, I need to put him down for the evening" I smiled and looked up at him. he looked at me like I'd just shot him "You can have him back in the morning" William shook his head and tilted his head down.

"Hopefully..." he muttered and stood up "Love, it's almost our wedding anniversary"

"It's in 2 days"

"Which means I asked you to marry me a year ago today"

"Oh God, it feels like yesterday" I smiled and kissed him softly "I cannot believe it's been that long"

William dipped his head down and saw Edward wriggling in my arms "Who would've thought that we'd have a beautiful son?"

"I know" I looked down at the bundle of joy in my arms and kissed his forehead "I love you"

"Me or our son?"

"Both of you, you're my family". William nodded slightly before smiling once again "Anyway, I need to put this one to sleep"

"May I come with you?"

"I'm not exactly going to forbid you, am I?"

"excellent" he grinned before pecking my cheek and walking towards the stairs. He looked back at me before leaning against the wall "Did I tell you that I love you?"

I flushed a slight pink before nodding and walking up to him "Yes, you did" As I spoke, I walked past him and started walking up the stairs. He soon followed and ended up falling up the stairs which was funnier than I expected.

Once we were in the nursery, William brought out Eddie's favourite blanket and wrapped it around him "Do you think he's got enough blankets?"

"Will, he has 4" I smiled as I gently laid our son in his crib.

"Alright" he spoke before picking up Freddie. he muttered something before kissing the dogs head.

"seriously? You kissed the dog?" I raised an eyebrow before covering Eddie in his favourite blanket.

"Well I can't exactly kiss you, we're in the nursery" He bit his lip before putting Freddie on the floor "I'll be waiting outside, then I can kiss you"

"your father is a lunatic" I muttered as he exited the room.

"I heard that!" William shouted from outside the room.
