Worse Than Giving Up

Chapter 28

Nath's POV

I sigh tiredly when I hear that the kids are already awake, but I decide to take them downstairs.

I didn't know that taking care of four kids can be this exhausting, so I guess that Sven and Dallas were helping me more than I noticed.

But now Sven refuses to leave the bed for more than a few minutes, so I have to take care of them alone.

"Be nice to me or I will throw you out of the window." I say to Jeff, when he starts to pull on my hair, but that only makes him smile happily.

I leave the kids in the living room, before I go to the dining room to make some milk for them.

Tareek already showed me how to do that, which I'm grateful for, because I wouldn't want my kid to starve.

I'm a bit worried that Sven is dying too, because our mate died, but doctor Enzo already assures me that it's not the case, and that Sven is healthy.

I took Sven there a twice in the last few days, and I will most likely do it again soon, if he won't get better.

Logan told me that he's just sad that Dallas is dead, but I know that I'm very sad too.

Although I'm still able to do everything, while Sven is just laying on the bed for most of the day.

I smile when I hear that he's coming downstairs, and I really hope that he will eat something this time.

"What do you want to eat?" I ask him, and he shrugs.

"Maybe toasts." He tells me, so I finish making the milk, and I give the bottles to Sven, who goes to the living room right away, while I start to make some breakfast for us.

When the toasts are done, I take them and a few more things to the living room, and I give Sven his plate.

It seems that he's hungry today, because he actually starts to eat them right away, or maybe he's just feeling better.

"Why are you up this early?" I ask him, and he shrugs.

"The kid work me up, and I wanted to make sure that they didn't make you go crazy yet." He tells me.

I can see that he's still sad, and that he would have prefered to be in laying on the bed.

But I guess that he decided that he preferres to spend some time with me today, because he cuddles to me right after he finishes eating.

"Do you want to go on a walk?" I ask him, and he shrugs.

I can see that he doesn't want to do that, but he's willing to do it if that's what I want to do.

"We will go later, when the kid will be taking a nap." I tell him.

"We can't leave them alone." Sven reminds me, and I roll my eyes.

"They will be fine. We will just walk on the path again." I assure, him but he shakes his head, so I sigh tiredly.

"Then I will ask Tareek to come here for a few minutes." I say, and he doesn't argue, so I guess that he agrees to this.
