Sweetest Devotion

Simon POV

"So how have you been feeling lately?" The doctor asks Adele as she lifts Adele's shirt up and spreads gel on her stomach.

"Pretty good. I've felt a couple kicks recently."

"Oh that's wonderful, and how are you doing with the morning sickness?"

"Okay I guess, I haven't thrown up this week but I've felt pretty queasy."

"Yeah, that's normal. You might be through that stage but don't be surprised." She puts a blue sheet over Adele's stomach, "And how have you been doing with your meals, eating healthy?"

"Yeah, Babe have you been eating healthy?" I repeat chucking.

Adele laughs looking at the doctor, "Not exactly, I've been craving a lot of chocolate lately but other than that I guess." She smiles then continues the ultrasound. 

"Well looks like your twins are healthy, and you already know the genders?"

I look at Adele smiling, then nod to the nurse.

"Well, then congrats, you're good to go! We will see you in about a month."

Adeles POV

Simon and I stand hand in hand outside Angelo's school. Waiting for him to get out, just then I see my happy baby boy running to us with a smile planted on his face.

"Mumma! Mumma! Did you know other boys and girls go to school with me." He asks once he reaches us.

I lean down and pull him into my arms tightly, "Of course Peanut." I laugh.

"I missed you so much Mummy," Angelo says skipping to the car. 

His hands locked with Simons and it melts my heart. 

I don't know if I can handle him away from me every other day of the week when he's at school. 

He's so handsome, he must take after his father.

"Angelo, how did you like your first day of school?" Simon asked looking back at Angelo in the car.

"It was so fun Daddy! I made so many friends. And I even have a best friend now, whatever that means." He exciting smiles feeling like he accomplished something.

Simon turns to Angelo looking sad, he pouts, "But Bud, I thought I was your best friend."

"You were Daddy until I actually got friends," He obviously states.

Simon leans back in his seat chuckling, "Oh I see, well I'm glad you had fun, Buddy."

"So Mumma, what do I earn for being a good boy at school today?" Angelo eagerly asks.

I smirk, "My love and affection."

His smile fast fades, "I don't even know what the means, but I don't want that Mummy." He whines.

"If he doesn't want it can I have it?" Simon asks with a smirk.

I giggle and roll my eyes, "Come on Peanut let's go get some ice cream."

Before we reach home Angelo falls asleep within seconds. 

In one hand he's holding his dripping ice cream cone, his mouth wide open showing some chewed up a cone. 

He must have fallen asleep while eating it. 

Simon and I both laugh looking at our son.

Simon carefully picked him up and carries him inside and lays him down on the couch. 

I get a blanket out and lay down next to him snuggling. 

Quickly I feel my eyes get heavy and then shut receiving the sleep I needed.

Feeling the presence of someone staring at me slowly I begin opening my eyes, Simon is standing in front of me smiling.

"Have a good nap?"

"Yeah," I rub my eyes, "How long have I been sleeping?" I yawn looking down at Angelo resting in my arms.

"A couple hours. I'm just about to go pick up the girls from school. So you can rest for a little longer with Angelo, you both look exhausted." he kisses my lips and heads out the door.

"Babe? Babe?" I wake up to find Simon and all our kids even Louie and Ginger, surrounding with worried looks on their faces.

"Wh- what Happened?" I sleepily ask, sitting up.

"You were screaming and crying in your sleep, babe. What happened in your dream Dele?" Simon worriedly asks as he sits down next to me, the kids all listening attentively.

"It was nothing really," I say looking down, remembering the dream.

"It clearly was something by the sounds of it." He says protectively putting his hand on my leg.

"It..." I pause," It was about the Grammys okay? I'm freaking out. What if I mess up the George Micheal Tribute? Or the opening? Or say something really stupid and mess everything up? Or what if Beyonce doesn't like my performance!" I blurt out, as tears stream down my face.

"Adele. You're gonna do great. You're going to win everything you were nominated for, and your performances are going to be amazing no matter what because you're going to be doing them. And Beyoncé is not going to like your performance. She is going to love it." Simon says kissing my cheek and reassuringly squeezing my hand.

"Yeah Mummy, don't worry. I know you will win all of the awards and your performances will be the best of all the performances!" Anika says as she hugs me.

"And plus Bey would never hate anything you do she loves you!" Ashlyn adds.

"Mummy you're even better than Batman!" Angelo adds in as he hugs me too. 

I giggle. I knew I could always count on them to help calm my nerves down. I don't know what I would do without them reassuring me every step of the way.

Everything I do is seriously all for them.
