Jojo: I returned to my room and found Lucian turning and tossing in bed. He was already awake and I could tell he was about to scream at the top of his shrill and tiny voice. I smiled and rushed to him, I scooped him in my arms and held him close to my chest. I continued to pat him until I got the water for his bath ready. By the time the water was ready, I soaked him in the bath and as usual, he started to scream. I continued to gently scrub his body and his screams intensified. Yes, my baby didn't like water all that much, it wasn't his favorite thing in the world, except he was drinking it.

I almost jerked up from the rubber stool I was seated on when I saw a huge shadow form on the wall. As I turned back, I found the alpha resting against the bathroom door frame. He had a small frown on his face, I could tell it was more out of worry than anything else. Lucian's cry must have drawn his attention, my baby's cry was impossible to ignore after all.

"Is he okay?" Alpha Lake started. Without turning to him, I pressed the soft sponge on Lucian's naked body, a soft smile formed on my cheek.

"Yes, he just cries whenever I bath him. For some reason, it's not his favorite time of the day. I used to think it was the temperature of the water, but I've tested it severally. He is just a really peculiar and stubborn baby." I replied. I always loved to talk about Lucian, he filled my heart with so much joy.

"There has to be something to make him stop crying, even when his bathing." The alpha continued. I risked a short glance at him, now taking note of his casual white polo. If I had ever seen him in something like that, I definitely could not remember it. I stole my gaze away, staring at him for too long was not good for my health.

"Try your luck." I teased. I had known Lucian enough to know that only breastmilk and sleep could stop him from crying whenever he started to cry.

The alpha went into the room and returned with one of Lucian's toys. It was a bunch of large and colorful rubber keys. My baby loved to rattle and dig his toothless gums into them sometimes. I smiled to myself when the alpha lowered his length to the bath, and jiggled the keys on Lucian's face. My baby turned away from him and continued to scream.

I bit my lower lip to stiffle my laughter. I had to hand it to my baby, he was quite a savage. However, the alpha did not give up on his quest. He tried with so many toys until the bath was over and I took Lucian out of the bath and wrapped his wet body with his white towel.

"Baby Lucian, don't cry..."

Before I knew it, the alpha bursted out into a very ridiculous lullaby. If I was a baby, I would have cried all the more. Lucian ignored his song, while I did my best to stop myself from laughing, by shaking my head and smiling. Soon, I dressed Lucian up in a blue shirt and matching blue shorts. I raised him from the bed and held him out to the alpha. My baby was still furious. The fact that he was about to leave my arms into the alpha's must have infuriated him all the more. His small mouth widened as he screamed.

Alpha Lake stared at me with scared, shocked and confused eyes. I gave him a wicked smirk.

"Hold him, I need to take my bath." I spoke casually. When he hesitated, I made sure to chuckle.

"Surely, you cannot be scared of a barely one month old baby, can you?" My question was followed by a corked right brow. The alpha quickly stood straight and accepted Lucian into his arms. My baby was enraged. His face turned red as he screamed out loud. Before I knew it, the alpha's face metarmorphosed into a frown, and he started to cry at the top of his voice, imitating baby Lucian.

The sound was funny, too funny. I could no longer hold my laughter in. I threw my head back and allowed the free and gleeful sound to escape my throat. It felt good to feel like that again. I laughed so hard until my chest started to ache, until I started to run out of breath. I could not remember the last time I had let go, the last time I had been so happy, so elated. It was hard to pinpoint the last time I had laughed until I was forced to suck in my breath.

I headed to the bathroom, and the sound of the shower running masked the alpha's terrible crying voice, but I could hear echoes of it, until silence fell upon the room.

When I was done, I tied my towel around my chest and wore my bathrobe, I tied the belt in front of me, as though I was trying to prevent something, even though I did not know what - or at least, that was what I tried to tell myself. As I stepped out of the bathroom, I noticed that the room was silent. It only meant that baby Lucian was asleep. I tilted my neck to the direction of the bed. Lucian was safely wrapped in Alpha Lake's arms, while the man... Alpha Lake rested against the headboard, eyes closed as he slept.

I should have turned away. I should have picked my clothes and went to another room to change. I should have made sure that I stayed far away from him. But I didn't. And a part of me knew it was because I did not want to. Instead, I took several steps towards them, towards him, until my feet were planted directly in front of him.

The man was handsome. His thick and long lashes were the beauty of his face as his eyes were closed. Even in nothing but a white t-shirt and blue denim trousers, he was as breathtaking as the word itself. Even in his sleep, he still oozed with power and confidence, like a resting lion; still as brave, still as bold, still as handsome, still as dangerous.

In front of me, his eyelids parted slowly - much to my surprise - and his onyx orbs landed directly on mine. My heart started to pound against my chest. I wanted to turn away, only to replace that my limbs were frozen. No matter how hard I tried, it was impossible to look away from him. I was stuck by his side, stuck staring at him.

I yearned to reach out to him, I yearned to lie in bed right next to him, while we both held our baby in our arms. I yearned... I yearned for him.

And that was when it hit me, harder than a missile.

I did not know why or how, but there was no denying it.

I was... I was in love with him, I was still in love with Alpha Lake Rush.
