My Man (18+) ✔️

46

One month had passed since Baby Matteo's arrival, and his presence had transformed Inessa and Vincent's lives in more ways than they could have imagined. Matteo had grown more active and curious, bringing newfound joy and laughter to their home.

One sunny afternoon, Vincent was sitting on the couch, cradling Matteo in his arms. The little bundle of energy was squirming and cooing, his tiny hands reaching out and exploring the world around him. Inessa watched from across the room, her heart swelling with love and amusement at the sight.

Suddenly, Matteo's little fingers found their way to Vincent's hair, and he grabbed a handful, giving it a gentle tug. Vincent winced in surprise, his expression a mix of pain and disbelief.

Inessa burst into laughter, clutching her stomach as tears streamed down her face. She couldn't contain her amusement at seeing Vincent's momentary distress. "Oh, Vincent, he's just playing with you!" she managed to say between fits of laughter.

Vincent, still recovering from the unexpected hair-pulling, shot Inessa a glare. "Help me, would you? I didn't sign up for this hair-pulling baby wrestling match."

Inessa composed herself and walked over, carefully taking Matteo from Vincent's arms. As soon as she held him, the baby rested his head against her chest, content in his mother's embrace. Inessa smiled down at him, her heart overflowing with love for her little boy.

Vincent couldn't help but feel a twinge of jealousy, even if it was in good fun. "See? He's a mommy's boy," Inessa teased, raising an eyebrow playfully.

Vincent scoffed, crossing his arms. "You're wrong, Inessa. Matteo is definitely a daddy's boy. Just look at him."

They playfully argued back and forth, each claiming that Matteo favored one parent over the other. It was a lighthearted competition, a testament to their love for their son and the joy he brought into their lives.

As they bantered, Matteo remained nestled against Inessa's chest, his eyes gazing up at his parents, seemingly enjoying the friendly disagreement. In that moment, their playful argument became a reminder of the bond they all shared as a family.

Inessa finally relented, a smile tugging at the corners of her lips. "Alright, fine. Maybe he's a little bit of both. Our little miracle who brings us so much joy."

Vincent's stern expression softened, replaced by a tender smile. "I couldn't agree more. He's the best of both of us."

As they looked down at their precious son, their playful disagreement faded into the background. They shared a moment of unity, their love for Matteo and each other binding them together.

Inessa leaned in and kissed Vincent's cheek, her heart full. "We're lucky to have him, and we're lucky to have each other."

Vincent's gaze met hers, his eyes shining with affection. "Yes, we are. Our little family is everything."

And with that shared sentiment, Inessa, Vincent, and Baby Matteo basked in the joy and love that surrounded them, cherishing the laughter and playfulness that had become an integral part of their lives.

Vincent stood there, holding Baby Matteo in his arms, his face contorted in a mixture of panic and confusion as he detected an unpleasant odor. He knew exactly what that meant: a diaper change was in order. His eyes widened, and he quickly called out for Inessa, holding the baby out to her.

"Inessa! Help!" Vincent's voice carried a hint of desperation.

Inessa sighed, rolling her eyes good-naturedly. She had become accustomed to Vincent's slight aversion to diaper duty. She walked over and took the baby from his arms, giving him a playful smack on the back of his head.

"You can't escape diaper duty forever, Vincent," she teased, her voice filled with amusement.

Vincent chuckled sheepishly, his hand rubbing the spot where Inessa had lightly hit him. "I know, I know. It's just... not my favorite part of parenting."

Inessa grinned mischievously as she handed Baby Matteo back to Vincent. "Well, it's time to learn. You can do it, I believe in you."

Vincent reluctantly took the baby back into his arms, staring down at the squirming bundle. He followed Inessa's instructions, carefully unfastening the diaper and doing his best to clean and replace it.

However, just as he was about to secure the fresh diaper, Baby Matteo let out a giggle and, much to Vincent's dismay, decided to mark his territory by peeing right on his father's exposed chest. Vincent's eyes widened in surprise, and he let out a groan of frustration.

Inessa burst into uncontrollable laughter, her joyful peals filling the room. She was doubled over, tears streaming down her face, finding the situation hilarious.

Vincent sighed in exasperation, but as he watched his wife's infectious laughter, he couldn't help but find the humor in the situation too. A small smile tugged at the corners of his lips, and eventually, he joined her laughter.

"I guess we're in this together, huh?" Vincent said, wiping a hand across his wet chest.

Inessa nodded, her laughter gradually subsiding. "Definitely. Parenthood is full of surprises."

As they regained their composure, Inessa suggested, "You should put your shirt in the laundry, so I can wash it later."

Vincent nodded, disappearing into the laundry room to remove his soiled shirt. He returned shirtless, the dampness of his skin making his muscles glisten. Inessa couldn't help but feel a surge of attraction, but she quickly looked away, trying to distract herself from Vincent's enticing physique.

Vincent noticed her reaction, a hint of a smirk playing on his lips. He knew the effect he had on her. "Sorry to interrupt your thoughts," he teased, raising an eyebrow playfully.

Inessa swallowed, her cheeks turning slightly pink. "No need to apologize. Let's focus on our little troublemaker."

They turned their attention back to Baby Matteo, who was happily cooing and babbling, oblivious to the amusement he had caused. Inessa's laughter lingered in the air, a reminder of the joy they shared in the chaotic and unpredictable journey of parenthood.

Together, Vincent and Inessa embraced the laughter, the challenges, and the unexpected moments, cherishing each precious memory as they navigated the uncharted waters of raising their beloved son, Baby Matteo.
