In His Arms

Chapter 29: A Family of Three (Kendra's POV)

I turned around, attempting to go back to the restaurant, when I suddenly got startled by Bea's nanny. Was she just standing behind me all along? "Hey. You startled me." I said. "Were you here all along?" I asked and she nodded. I suddenly felt irritated by the fact that someone was overhearing a very personal conversation. "I'm sorry about that. I didn't mean to eavesdrop. I just felt like I should let you that I'm already leaving. It would make me feel bad if I left with telling you." She explained. "I left Beatrice inside with the man you were with." She said. "What?" I exclaimed. "She probably knows everything by now." She said. "Wait. I don't understand. What else do you know?" I questioned her. "Not so many, actually. Just important details that I have to know." She said. I smirked since I found her arrogant. I don't mean to be rude but what does a nanny have to do with our personal situation? "Look, I don't want to embarass you but I think you should know your limitations specially when it's about your master's personal matters." I told her. "But you're not my master, Eli is." She answered. That was it, I got fed up by the way she talked to me. "I don't know what your problem is but back off. This is our problem, our situation to handle. To add yourself in it is completely unecessary." I told her with my most serious tone. "Sure it is. I just wish you and your family well." She smirked then walked away.

I suddenly had this odd feeling about that nanny. I don't know what her problem is but I'm taking her in consideration. I think I should watch out for that woman. She's creepy as hell. But that aside, I remembered my family inside the restaurant. I immediately went inside. I got stunned as soon as I entered the door. There's my little girl sitting beside her biological father. Baekhyun's elbow was planted on the table, his palm cupped his cheek, as he watched our baby drink a pink refreshment. I smiled knowing that they are getting along pretty well. I slowly walked towards where they are. I was enjoying the sight of them together. But then I suddenly caught Bea's attention. She stopped sipping on her drink and let the straw escape her mouth. "Mommy!" She exclaimed. Baekhyun immediately looked at me and we smiled at each other. His smile looked so genuinely happy, something I get to see for the first time. "Hi baby." I greeted my daughter back. I sat on the opposite side where they were seated, making us face each other. "I see you're getting spoiled immediately." I joked as I sat down. "What do you mean?" Baekhyun asked confused. "Bea's not allowed to intake too much sugar, babe." I looked at him as I explained. "She easily gets sugar rushed." I turned my gaze to my daughter who knew she was at fault again. "Sorry mommy." She apologized cutely.

Baekhyun's hand slid until it reached mine. "Let her be. It was my plan to spoil her anyway." He said and I gave him my 'you don't' look. Baekhyun just chuckled making Bea chuckle as well. For a minute, I was happy to know that my man and our child were so much alike. But then, worry hit me again. "Bea, baby, are you ok?" I asked. I know it would be hard on her part to know and meet her real father. But I'm quite surprised that it wasn't so difficult for her to accept the truth. Even so, I still want to know how she truly feels about this situation. "Yes mommy, I'm ok." She said. "Then we'll talk later, ok?" I said and she nodded at me.

"Hey. Is everything ok?" Baekhyun suddenly asked. I smiled halfly at him, enough for him to know something's up. "Tell me later, ok?" He said and I just nodded. We decided to leave as soon as Bea finishes her drink. On our way our, Baekhyun carried our daughter. "So where are we going now?" I asked Baekhyun. "Your call. Where do you want to go?" He asked. "Anywhere." I answered. "Sure. I have somewhere in mind." He said. Baekhyun opened the backseat door of his car. "Baby, will it be ok if you sit down here? Dad wants mommy to sit beside him, is that ok with you?" He talked to our little girl. Bea agreed.

"So where are we going?" I asked Baekhyun as soon as I buckled my seatbelt. He twisted the key and the engine turned on then started driving. "Somewhere. You'll see babe, don't worry." He said as he kept his eyes on the road. I kept on guessing where we were going but none of my guesses were correct. Baekhyun stopped the car as soon as we got to our destination. "The hospital?" I asked with my eyes opened wide. "But why?" I asked. "We're here for a DNA test babe." He said. I suddenly felt offended. "What? You mean you don't believe-" I was on the verge of being hysterical when he suddenly laughed. "I was just kidding babe." He laughed making me hit his arm.

"That's not funny babe." Feeling bad and frustrated over his supposedly 'joke,' and with the fact that he found humor in what he has done, I stormed out of the car. I took my time to breathe and let all the madness die down while Baekhyun took Bea out from the back seat. Coming near me, Baekhyun reached out to pat my shoulder but I just shrugged him off to show how much his joke was unwanted. "Babe, I'm sorry. Are we really going to fight on our first day together as a family?" He asked. While rolling my eyes, I turned around to face him. The irritated expression I had in my face quickly changed to a very impressed look. Baekhyun was carrying Bea, and I found that extremely attractive. Nothing else beats the sight of my daughter in the arms of her father. "Mommy, fighting is bad, right?" There goes Bea with her sweet voice.

Baekhyun looked at me with a smile that only irritated me even more. I took a step closer to them and cupped Bea's chubby cheek. "Yes baby, fighting is wrong. But you have nothing to worry about. Me and your dad aren't fighting at all." I said. "Really?" She asked and I nodded as I cutely blinked my eyes. "Then can you show me how much you love him?" I got stunned as she asked a favor. I turned my gaze to Baekhyun and he appears to just as surprised as I am. "Baby. There are things that we don't need to show just so it would be proven." I almost broke a sweat as I tried to convince her. How in the world did think of that idea? If it isn't Baekhyun, then who taught her? Eli. "But mommy how will I know if you really love one another and you're not fighting?" She asked with a sad tone. "Bea, baby, you beloeve mommy, right? Trust me when I say I do, I really do." I said. I noticed Baekhyun was smiling like an idiot to what he heard. "But mommy-" Baekhyun cut Bea off. "Just show her already. It wouldn't harm anyone anyway." He said. I gave him my 'seriously' face but he ignored it. "Come on." He titled his head and offered his right cheek to me. Bea stared in anticipation. I slightly tip toed and pecked his cheek with my lips. I heard Bea's quiet giggle. "One more." Baekhyun tilted his head to the other side thus offering his left cheek this time. I hate how he's enjoying this. I tip toed again, my lips aiming for his smooth flesh. When my lips were close , he moved his head causing our lips to collide.

Bea's giggles became even livelier and sweeter. She laid her head on Baekhyun's collar, snuggling in his embrace hoping it would surpress her giggles. Baekhyun pecked once more and it made me even more surprised. Feeling embarassed about what just happened infront of my daughter, I dug my face on his shoulder. I shrieked all my emotions out with the highest note I can. It was a little muffled which made it even funnier. "I love you, I really do." Baekhyun whispered in my ear. He kissed Bea's forehead and pulled my wrist. "Now let's go. We have people to surprise." He said.
