Stone Hearted Empress

CHAPTER 10: PARENTING

His POV

I HEAVED A VERY VERY DEEP SIGH as I look at this wiggling child infront of me.  Phinicxxe Caspper Santillian is already 10 months old and very handful most of the time. Ngumangawa siya kapag hindi agad napapainom ng gatas and he will scream if he already have peed in his pants.

Fhilicx is much more peaceful since he's much more of the quiet type, a total opposite of his older brother if you tell me. "Phinicxxe stop moving." I said firmly to my child but I must be stupid if I believe he can already understand me.

Tumili siya ng buhatin ko siya at ialis sa malambot na kama ng kwarto ko, he is obviously piss because of what I did. Kakatapos ko lang siyang palitan ng sapin para sa lower part ng body niya and now he will throw tantrums at me.

"Saan ka ba talaga nagmana at napakamaldito mong bata ka?" Tanong ko sa kaniya habang tinatayo ko siya sa hita ko. He keep on bouncing up and down and that makes him giggle. It made me smile knowing this child inherited not only my eyes and hair but also my smile.

"YOU ONLY HAVE FOUR TEETH in your mouth and yet you can already hurt me with your bite." I whined to Fhilicx who only look at me like he's confuse on what the fuck do I mean.

I also stared at him then he started giggling when he noticed what's behind me. I turned around only to see the former emperor kaya dahil sa taranta ay agad akong napayuko sa harapan niya to show respect.

This is not the first time he visited the children but he also rarely do it so it is kind of surprising that he's here all of a sudden.

"Stand up before I behead you."

Agad akong tumayo ng iutos niya iyon sa akin at pilit na iniiwasan ang tingin niya. Fhilicx giggled when his grandfather carried him and attack with a lot of kisses.

I lightly stepped away then watch them from a distance. The former Emperor is smiling so widely as Fhilicx touch his cheek then also smiles at him showing his adorable dimples.

I must admit, they look so good together and if ever I have a canvas I would paint this scene right now, right here.

"Rawwel."

I looked behind me when I heard my name being called by someone. I bowed down when I saw who it was, his highness's wife. Former Empress Mayumi.

"You're too polite Rawwel, you should stop bowing on me since you are already part of our family." Her highness said with a sweet smile that kind of reminds me of their eldest son sir Aiden Rylan.

Tumango lang ako at binigyan siya ng isang maliit na ngiti. She stood beside me and also watch my son and his grandfather bond.

"Kat have always been too fond of kids." Napatingin ako sa kamahalan ng sabihin niya iyon, she was smiling while looking infront but look at me afterwards then smile wider.

"I remember the first time we had our children, he was always so gentle when it comes to holding them. Para nga siyang nagbubuhat ng isang mamahaling bagay na madaling mabasag dahil sa sobrang ingat niya."

I didn't know I was smiling already while listening to her highness's story. "He's a little disappointed tho'. Dalawa lang ang lalaking anak namin at ang tatlo naman ay babae. Although he have been outnumbered by girls, he's still thankful to have five genius and well-mannered kids." Tumingin siya sa akin at ngumiti.

I couldn't help but to be at awe, her highness, former Empress Mayumi really have a friendly aura and not to mention she's easy to approach unlike his highness, the former emperor.
