Becoming Queen

Chapter 47: Surprise guest

Eleanor

"Finn, sweetie. She's alright. She's just changing".

I tried to coax my sweet baby boy away from the closed curtain, but he wouldn't budge.

I couldn't help but laugh at him guarding Sofia's changing room like her own mini bodyguard.

His arms were crossed across his chest and I knew under those blacked out sunglasses, my baby boy was frowning.

Of course, he completed off the bodyguard look by demanding he wore his mini suit and tie. If Oscar wore a suit, Finn made sure to wear his. A habit I never wanted him to lose.

"Mama, I have to. My sister is beautiful and bad men might try and talk to her. Daddy said to protect my family, so that's what I will do".

Finn completed his little statement with a rather adorable karate chop before getting back into his bodyguard position.

Shaking my head at my adorable munchkin, I turned around to watch Oscar walk around the shop whilst holding Lenora. He was talking to her in the sweet cooing voice he's done to all our babies. And all the while, Lenora was staring up at her daddy smiling adorably as he occasionally leaned in and kissed her forehead.

I don't know if it was my hormones, but seeing my strong tough mafia don husband interact with our baby girl was making me want to give him his wish of knocking me up, again.

He always joked about having 7 babies and even though we were now up to 6 children, and even though after having the twins I decided that was it, I couldn't help but admire him looking so handsome in an all black suit. If my children weren't with me, I would have jumped him.

"I see you staring Mrs Hendricks" Oscar called out, him not even taking his eyes off Lenora who was completely mesmerised by her dad.

"I was admiring how handsome you looked, but now I'm laughing because our precious angel threw up over her daddy".

Oscar turned to me with a not so menacing glare on his face.

"Can't have anything nice" Oscar scoffed as he expertly held Lenora securely in one arm and grabbed a wipe with another and wiped away the mess Lenora left on his shirt.

Of course, being a mafia family had it's perks. This was a shop I owned and it was closed to the public today. It hosted a private family event. 

Sofia had been invited to the infamous ball that Oscar and I once attended. All the super successful people from the world of business would be there, which of course meant some people from other gangs and mafia would be there.

But I knew my baby girl would have no reason to be worried. Her strength and courage was undeniable and she'd fucking kill it with her confidence and power.

But I had to make sure she felt it. That's why I was getting her whatever she wanted with Oscar's credit card.

"Guys, I think I've found the one" Sofia called out from behind the changing room curtain.

"AHHHH, Oscar get your butt here" I yelled out whilst tapping the spot next to me on the sofa.

Oscar rolled his eyes as he walked back towards me, Lenora somehow during his short walk had fallen asleep in his arm.

Funny, she sleeps better in Oscar's arms than she does in her moses basket.

Rubbing my finger down Oscar's cheek, I looked up at Finn who was holding one end of the dressing room curtain.

"Okay, I'm coming out" Sofia called out, signalling Finn to pull back the curtain.

And as he obeyed without question, my heart stopped.
