Vegas Pete- forever partners

Chapter 13

After a week of Venice's birth, Pete was discharged from the hospital. The doctor had advised Pete to get some rest for a few days. The baby, Venice, was strong and healthy. He was a cute and tiny human who easily fit in the palms of Vegas. Venice looked exactly like Vegas- maybe the eyes looked like that of Pete but the other facial features were almost similar to Vegas. It was afternoon and Pete had slept for a few hours as he was feeling exhausted. Now he was slowly rising from his sleep and when he opened his eyes, he could see that Vegas was there on the other side, holding Venice in one hand and a milk bottle in the other. He smiled when he saw that Venice was drinking the milk from the bottle quite contently. Pete could see tension written over Vegas's face. He sat up and put a hand over his shoulder.

Pete: "Vegas, what's the matter? You look really tensed."

Vegas: "Pete, what if I become like my father? What if I hurt him? You know that I really don't want to become like my father. But what if that fear comes true?"

Pete: "You won't hurt him, Vegas. I know it and I trust you. You'll do a good job. Just trust yourself. I can see that you're trying very hard and that's okay. You have to keep trying, okay?"

On hearing these words, Vegas gently rested his head on Pete's shoulder and he could feel Pete combing through Vegas's hair. To him, being in his lover's arms was the best feeling in the world. After a minute or so, Vegas handed over Venice to Pete, who put him to sleep in the crib beside their bed. Even though Pete had made a whole nursery for Venice, for the time being he decided to move Venice's crib to their room to look after him.

In the evening, the minor family house welcomed unexpected guests. Obviously these guests were Kinn, Porsche, Tankhun, Kim and Chay. Porsche was continuously knocking on the door until he could hear the door being opened. When Pete opened the door to see who it was, he was delighted to see all of them there.

Pete: "It's good to see all of you here! Come inside everyone! Make yourselves comfortable."

As all the five of them were making themselves comfortable, Vegas came downstairs and was not happy with what he saw in front of him.

Vegas: "What are you guys doing here? You're not allowed to barge into my house without my permission."

Kinn: "Cousin, we never barged in. We just wanted to drop by and visit Pete, since we couldn't come to the hospital. Pete, are we not welcomed here?"

Pete: "Khun Kinn, you're always welcomed to come here anytime. Vegas just behaves like that. Please don't mind him. Vegas, stop being rude to them."

Vegas: "I'm being rude? They don't tell us before they're coming and when they come here out of no where, I'm not supposed to say anything? Great. Then I guess I'll go back upstairs and mind my own business." (grumpy Vegas 🙄)

Porsche: "Nice one Pete. He's really mad I guess. Now, I don't think we'll see Vegas for the rest of the time here."

Tankhun: "Isn't that good? He's disappeared from here and now we don't have to listen to him grumbling and bickering non-stop."

Vegas's pov....

I came back upstairs since I didn't feel like being with them anymore. I didn't even go to eat dinner. I saw Venice in his crib, wide awake from his sleep. I gently took Venice from his crib and went and sat on the bed. I started speaking to Venice, even when Venice couldn't understand anything.

Vegas: "Hey there Venice baby. Your uncles are here but I'm with you because my mood is spoilt. I raised my voice a bit and your Pa told me that I was being rude. Is it rude to raise my voice hmm? What is right according to you? You think so too that raising my voice was correct? That's my boy! I love you so much, do you know that? You're the light of my life.

As Vegas began to notice that Venice was feeling sleepy, he got up from the bed and put Venice to sleep in his crib. He himself went up sleep a few moments later.

End of Vegas's pov....

The rest of the day passed by quickly. All of them, except Vegas, had their dinner. Dinner was a very short affair. Their dinner consisted if spicy curry, Pad Thai, Khao Pad and Pad Krapow Moo Saap. After dinner, all the five of them had to leave since it was getting late. After all of them had left, Pete went upstairs in order to convince Vegas to eat something since he had eaten anything. When he opened the door to their bedroom he could see that Vegas was asleep with baby Venice on top of him. He could see that both of them were sleeping soundly. He slowly took out his mobile phone, snapped a few photos and then went inside the room to wake up Vegas. He gently picked up Venice and put him in the crib. Then, he sat on the bed beside the sleeping Vegas and began to slowly wake him up.

Pete: "Vegas, love, wake up. You need to eat something."

Vegas: "What's the time Pete? Have they gone already?"

Pete: "They left long time back. You should eat something now since you didn't eat dinner."

Vegas: "Hmm okay. Come, let's go."
