The Prince's Stubborn Mate

Chapter 35

Waking up the next day was bad from the very beginning. Demetri had William who was fussy and hungry and just as Demetri was about to feed him he started kicking and he hit the bottle right out of Demetri's hand covering me in baby formula.

Moreover, Demetri made the baby's food to hot and I was jolted out of my sleep as I was doused with close to boiling liquid. Well, that wasn't liquid, it was waaaay too thick.

I jumped out of bed and hurriedly rubbed at my burning skin trying to ease the pain while Demetri frantically apologized.

I held up a finger and told him to shut up and surprisingly, he did.

I walked into the bathroom and ran my burning arm under the cold water.

"Give him to me." I muttered grumpily reaching for William who came to me eagerly while he sniffled in discontent.

"I'm really sorry." He apologized again and I slanted him a glare.

"I'll murder you later." I snapped before directing him how to make the baby's feed. When he returned the bottle, I promptly began to feed William.

That's when I recalled my first night staying at the castle when Demetri and babysitting William.

"Are you okay?" Demetri inquired running his finger through my hair.

"I'm fine." I told him, "I remembered the night I spent here with you and the baby, the day I met your family but I was mad at you."

"I recall your anger." Demetri told me with a slight grimace. 

"Why was I mad at you?"

"You'll remember in time, I don't want to shock your system by telling you anything." He said making me suspicious.

"You don't want me to remember some things, this is one of those things, yes?"

He just nodded.

William finished his bottle and after I burped him I kissed his face and blew raspberries on his fat belly making him giggle.

Demetri had just opened his mouth to say something when a knock came at the door before it flew open admitting his mother.

"Good morning." She said and I smiled at her.

"Good morning." I replied handing a giggling William to her when she held out her arms for him.

When he was successfully tucked in her arms Demetri lay down beside me and wrapped his arms around my waist.

"Jessabell, we're leaving at midday." She told me with a smile and turned and left after my brief nod.

"Good morning." Demetri said kissing my cheek.

"Morning." I mumbled laying down and turning my back to him so we were spooning.

Just as I closed my eyes and was preparing to go back to sleep Demetri said,

"You know its after eleven, right?"  I jumped up so quickly that a wave of dizziness invaded my mind.

I waited a while for it to pass before slanting Demetri a look of disapproval.

"Why didn't you say something before?" I hissed climbing out of the bed and heading for the bathroom, not bothering to wait for Demetri's response.

I hurriedly hopped in the shower and showered as quickly as I could before drying off and getting dressed in a pair of black jeans and a burgundy tank top.

There was no time to comb my hair so I simply pulled a black beanie over my head before rummaging through my overnight bag for a pair of flat burgundy shoes that I brought as back up.
