I was soundly asleep with my arms wrapped around Kash when the small muffles of cries woke me up lightly. I let out a sigh as I rose up knowing it was only a matter of time before the small muffles turned into full on cries that would double shortly thereafter. I removed my arms from Kashera as she stirred lightly. She was out like a light and tired after giving birth only a few hours ago. As I looked quickly over her I couldn't help but to kiss her forehead. I loved the hell out of this woman who had given me life a year ago, and now given me two lives to call our own. She let out a soft sigh as she sank into the pillow, and I carefully got out of the bed.
As the cries increased I looked over the double bedded crib where the two little beings slept soundly- well where one slept soundly. I looked down at the handsome baby who somehow managed to not come out looking like an alien and picked him up as his fusses started to build. I settled him into my arms causing his crying to die down instantly as we stood over his sister who was still sleeping like her mother.
"Stefano why can't you sleep like Ci-ci, hmm, piccolo?" I questioned as I kissed him on the head as he stared up at me with wide blue eyes. Stefano Katrell Leone was the first born of the two, and already we could tell he was going to be an interesting little character. His eyes wandered everywhere when he wasn't glaring, and he loved to make his little whines when he wasn't eating. He was already the source of much of my pride and joy.
We decided to hold off on the genders much to everyone's dismay, so seeing them come out one by one was the most emotional thing I had been through in my life I was sure. When Stefano came out I almost grabbed him before they could clean him off good. I was so happy to see him I couldn't contain myself nor the tears to see my first born boy that filled me with more pride than I knew how to articulate. I anxiously awaited the arrival of the second boy with a shit-splitting grin ready to rub it in Kash's face that I was right as they took Stefano to finish cleaning and weighing him.
So when the doctor called out that the last addition was a little girl, I literally almost passed out.
Sienna Kaitlyn Leone had me to my knees and wrapped around her every little finger from the moment she cried. When I held her and saw her mothers eyes it took everything in me to not curse because I knew I was in for it. Kashera laughed her ass off when she saw how I was looking at her because she knew it, too. If her mama was spoiled, there wasn't a word known to man to describe what this little girl was going to be.
I couldn't wait to do it though, because in my mind if I set the bar to the sky I didn't have to worry about killing some poor bastard who thought he was going to date my little princess. She was cooing and observing everything and she loved to lay on me already. Everybody laughed at me with her, but she had all the Leone males and Marcus hooked too.
