Bonus Chapter 2

I was so used to waking up in the middle of the night that when Nick's crying didn't wake me up, I got out of the bed to check up on him.

Alec wasn't in the room either.

Nick's nursery was right next to our room and the moment I stepped outside, I could hear Alec's voice.

Which was then followed by a soft giggle.

"He is such a wonder, Nick. You know, how he suddenly made their lives so much better just by being in it."

I carefully peeked my head into the dimly lit nursery.

Alec was sitting on the couch, holding Nick in his arms securely so his tiny head was resting on Alec's chest.

Nick listened carefully to Alec as if he understood it all and then, was looking everywhere around the room with his innocent blue eyes. The feature he got from Alec.

Then, his eyelids slowly dropped.

"He didn't do much, Nick. All he did was sleep," Alec let out a soft chuckle.

"Just like right now, he's sleeping in his father's arms," He muttered softly.

He gently soothed down Nick's back and tilted his head down to kiss his forehead.

Aw! Where's my phone when I need it?

"Now, you know who I'm talking about, don't you, son?"

He brought his chin down to Nick's shoulder and just gave him a hug.

"Goodnight, Nick. Your dad loves you."

He looked up and his eyes landed on me, a small smile forming on his lips.

Getting up, he carefully placed Nick in his crib, watched him for a few seconds and then walked up in my direction.

"Did I wake you?" Placing his arms around my waist, he pecked my lips.

My hands went up to his shoulders as I watched him with a smile.

"No you didn't."

"Okay. Now come on. Get some sleep. You must be tired."

"Yeah. Although I'm surprised you managed to put him back to sleep. And also a little impressed."

"I got my tricks," Alec winked at me.

"Really?" I narrowed my eyes playfully.

"You want me to show you some of them?" He suddenly pinned me against the wall and brought his mouth down to my neck.

I gasped in surprise, closing my eyes and angling my face up to give him better access.

His fingers started rubbing circles against my waist and I let out a moan.

"Shh," He suddenly pulled back and looked into the nursery.

My eyes grew wide. "Please don't tell me I woke him up."

"You didn't."

I sighed in relief.

"Let's take this to the room," Alec smiled down at me.

I didn't need to be told twice.

The next morning, I was preparing Nick's baby cereal and Alec had offered to bathe him today.

Nick was so fond of him. Sometimes, I envied Alec.

"Good morning, Scarlet," A chirpy voice greeted.
