I heard a click, and suddenly, I vanished from my daydream. The source of light was so bright I could barely open my eyes, but I knew I had to get up. I heard the door click close, and just when I was ready to get up, I heard noises around the apartment.
I don't know why I believe so, but the apartment is not getting robbed. I can still feel Esden's soft, warm skin close to mine, and I shut my eyes once more. Ginni is quieter than usual, is it because we're still sleeping? I think the day has gone down really fast, but the light still sores my eyes.
While keeping my eyes shut to make them more comfortable, I hear clothes being sat on the couch and shoes getting taken off. In the second after that, I feel the warmth of Esden getting further away, and I'm just left pressing the cushion, but even that is too comfortable to move. Ginni-who's-probably-not-Ginni comes back, and the shadow gives me some shade. I was about to open my eyes, but to a striking surprise, no words would come out. Everything was so fast I couldn't open my eyes.
Muscle arms and chest had lifted me. Oh. He's back?
Shit. Could he hear my heart? Could he feel the hammering against my ribcage?
I pretended to stay asleep but I don't know if he knows I'm fake sleeping. I want to cage him closer and make stay under my bed once more..
Aslan put me down under the covers, I rolled to the side, my back to him, so he could not see my exploding expression but I'm suddenly in contact with a familiar size of a baby, knowing who it was I gently hug him. Duckling will be sleeping with me starting today.
I remember talking with Aslan to not get his crib from the maid's home because my bed was big enough for us. I meant both only us as usual, when the couch was not available and now we've a child. It's still big enough for us three.
I could still feel his presence behind me, I was going to try and ignore him and just go back to sleep with Esden but cute duckling started moving around and giggling; has he waken?. I lifted my head up from out of his arm and saw him trying to roll into mine. Before I could corr and hold him up, he started levitating.
In an instant I feel the hot body, clothed by a white button up shirt, pressing close to me, only for it to leave behind it's warmth. The shadow that had hovered along, in the second it came, Esden was out of my view from above. I stand up in a sitting position to see Aslan trying to find out why the baby was crying. Maybe he misses me, then it became obvious when I noticed the big sack on his bottom...
"Looks like he had a good feast. I'll go get his backpack," Esden still cried despite being in daddys' arms. "I saw it when I came in, you calm Esden down for me." Esden was then held in my arms, I rested his front on my chest, head on my shoulder so I could double check how much he let out before securely holding him in the same position, setting up the barrier on my bed.
"Here, let me do the rest," Aslan finish the set up while I put Esden on his back. It took a while for him to stop crying after taking off his pants and changing the diaper to the new one that Aslan lend to me. Cute duckling was left sucking his thumb with his legs kicking the air in diaper only.
I looked to Aslan who just stood staring at us. He was about to leave when I grabbed him by the sleeve, still fixed down to his wrist. He halted, stared at my hold then stopped at my eyes.
"Oh- Uhm, aren't you hot?" He didn't say anything. I don't know how much running he's been doing but ever since he walked into the apartment he's only put his coat down, tie still tightened, shirt still buttoned up and sleeves still down to wrist.
He looked back down at his hand, an expression of disgust present at the view of the diaper still in his hand.
"Stay with Esden, I'll go throw this out." So stubborn. I looked at Esden for a second. He must've taken that as an opportunity to excuse himself, so I held his wrist the moment my fingers slipped off sleeve.
"Let me," I unbutton the sleeves and rolled them up. I was starting to get hot already, at the vines visible even by a line. When my fingers held the tie knot I felt the need to choke him with it and...I'm sorry to anyone who could read my thoughts. Yes, I just realize a baby is behind me in bed with his legs probably cold now.
"Sorry," I mumbled.
"Did you say something?" I looked at Aslan and quickly avert my eyes, pulled the tie knot down and unbutton his collar. "Thank you in advance," I say with a quick eye contact and went back to baby Esden with the tie still in my hand.
Aslan walked away.
I was holding the blanket from either side of Esden's body, the one he's still on when changed out of diapers. My head is dipped low and literally, I'm screaming in my head from how close I was to Aslan, unbuttoning him and pulling down his tie by the tie knot!!
Calm your horses, Jo, you've had sex this man before!
But I don't remember is so well~
"Mama loves your daddy, Es." I put my face in Esden's stomach and groans. Cute duckling laughed at the tickliness of my hair rubbing on him before he squeezed a fart out, startled and cried. "Oh."
"Haha, Esden, baby, did you just fart?" I hold his face in my hands, tie still in one hand. I coo-ed him and he ended up stop crying, his daddy's tie in his tiny hand.
I put his pants on and cleaned what I missed. There's no tissues to throw out since I cleaned him out and put the tissues in the diaper, which Aslan took to throw out. I need to put his clothes in the washing machine...
I hear a door click close and looked behind me to see Aslan walking back in. "Did you find the garbage?"
"Yes."
"Do you want to take a shower? I'll warm up something for you in the meantime." He nodded. It was hard to miss his gaze on Esden.
"Ah, don't worry. This little guy will be attached to me all day. Won't you?" I span and kissed the palm of cute duckling's, which also happen to be a part of the tie because he hadn't let go.
"Good. Should I take the clothes and tie with me?" His palm was already put forward and ready, I gave Esden's clothes to him but hesitated on the tie, so is Esden.
"Uhm, so...He's not letting go." I tried to get hold of the tie but Esden doesn't wanna let it go and I'm scared to pull it out of his grasp too tightly. "Please, cute duckling? Daddy wants his tie back? Yes, good boy." I kissed his tiny hands after he let go, although his eyes seem to be crying, he giggled at the ticklish kiss.
"Thank you," I gave Aslan the tie back but he stared stunned at me. I think? I can't see no expressions on his face and I can only assume the worse: he's angry. He took the tie and the last I hear is the click of the bathroom door.
Time to make food for baby's daddy.
