The Alpha's Baby Momma

09| 🦋 butterflies and art

I sat in the passenger seat as he drove,eyes focused on the road with one hand on my thigh,
"So...why are we going to St Mary's?" He asked,tapping his fingers to the rythmn of love so fine by Astro,and I gave him the biggest grin ever as I said,
"Okay,okay,it's a loooong sob story. After our parents died,child welfare took away my brother because I was too young to raise him myself,and they wouldn't let me see or talk to him. I've hunted him down for years,even moving to Aneheim five months ago since my PI tracked him down to California,and after a long wait- I finally got the orphanage to let me see him." He nodded, processing the information before grinning down at me,
"You're really excited aren't you?"
"Uh huh,but I'm a bit nervous...what if he's mad at me? I mean,I haven't seen him in 3 years,I promised to visit,but I couldn't because of the laws,you don't think he hates me do you?" He shook his head,pulling the car into park as he brought my hand to his lips and kissed my knuckles,
"It's okay fairy,trust me,no one could ever hate you. We'll just sit here till you're ready,okay?"

I flattened my palms against my pants again,sweat dripping down the back of my neck as I held my breathe,and tears threatened to spill when he came through the corridor. His hair was so bushy and curly,tips a daring red,his jaw angular and smooth,a small moustache sitting neatly trimmed above his top lip,
"Akeelah?," I couldn't hear him over the thumping of my heart,but I could see him mouthing my name as if to see how it felt on his tongue,then grinning as he walked faster,coming to a stop 3 metres away from us.
"Go on," Jaehyun placed his hand on the small of my back,nudging me forward as I came toe to toe with my brother,hands shaking as I looked up at him,
"Hi."
"Sis! You came,you came!you finally came!" His slim arms were thrown around my shoulders, squeezing me tight as I hugged him around the waist,and I felt all those lonely nights I'd spent in our house wear off,comfort engulfing me as I finally held my brother in my arms.
"Jordan,oh my God you're so grown. When did you become this tall? You're beautiful." I held him back by the shoulders,wiping away the tears running down his cheeks with the sleeve of my cardigan. Nothing could wipe off the grin on my face,not the guards' nasty stares,not the cold feel of the place,not even the receptionist's cold voice as I slapped the adoption forms on the table Infront of her,
"For a full adoption you need to have a certified ID copy with the LAPD stamp,pay slips from three months prior and a home adr-"
"Bam!" Jordan snickered from behind me as her words caught in her throat, blood draining from her cheeks as her eyes locked on Jaehyun's bored expression. It helped having a billionaire mate sometimes.

"I-well uh-"
"Cat got your tongue?" I asked smugly,shaking my shoulders with laughter as her eyes jumped from me to Jaehyun, "No ma'am. Jordan,go get your clothes while Mr Park signs these for me."
"There'll be no need,can we just sign and leave? We have important business to attend to." Jaehyun grabbed the papers that were handed to him,signing on the dotted line before I did the same,and we bounced out of there with my brother in tow.

"Soooo sis,who's your lil booooyfriend?" I saw Jaehyun's ears burn a bright red as he drove out of the parking lot,eyes locking on the road ahead as he tried to hide his laugh,
"This,is my man Jaehyun Park. We're having a baby together-"
"And I wanna marry your sister." Jordan snorted as Jaehyun interrupted me,and my cheeks turned red at the blunt statement,turning to stare wide eyed at Jaehyun as he shrugged,winking at me before setting his eyes on the road again.
"What job do you do,Park?"
"I own buildings all over LA and Seoul,I own shares in the apple company and Mercedes-Benz, and I'm a Louis Vuitton model." Jordan nodded,looking suspiciously at the man beside me before turning to the window and tapping his fingers on his thighs as he hummed.

Eros took Jordan shopping while me and Jaehyun were left alone at the fortress, going into the garden I didn't even know was there to read some books. He lay the sheep skin blanket on the grass, shifting into his wolf as he lay on his back,and I lay beside him,staring in awe as he howled and butterflies flew out of surrounding shrubs, the sky above us filling with the majestic insects of every colour,even transparent ones- I'd never seen those before.
Back home,if you go deep into the forest and lay there for a while,you'll hear the wind singing and trees dancing,rivers running clear with spring water. The fairies also come to dance,once,I heard that only the pure hearted can see fairies.Its the most beautiful thing I've ever seen... That's why I had this garden made,so that the fairies' best friends-butterflies,can come visit us whenever they can.
I turned to find him with his eyes closed,mouth slightly open as he napped, chest rising and falling with a beautiful rythm that had me humming lowly as I read Constellations of you and me aloud, drifting out chapters and chapters,the world seemingly stilling as finally,my soul felt centred and at peace,the sadness from loosing Mateo only lingering softly in the thump of my heart,grateful that at least,I had all the people I loved under one roof.

I turned to look at my darling,my voice catching in my throat as a pretty purple and blue butterfly landed softly on his nose,it's little legs barely touching the surface as shiny dust fell from its fluttering wings. I pulled out my phone,capturing the moment with a small grin,it was beautiful. His tail shook as he rolled over,his large paw pulling me into him as he wrapped his arm around me like he was strangling me,but the act was slightly romantic and I smiled to myself as I watched the other butterflies land on him- he looked like Shakespeare's poetry and Michael Angelo's sculptures,he was art,the simple and sophisticated kind.
