Chapter 61: Chapter 61

MEL:

Seeing my partner trying to assemble that crib and stressing about it was one of the highlights of my day.

One of the, was because around lunchtime we had an Aunt Maria in her doting mother mode invading our house, dressed in a white apron with some embroideries that made it cute.

— It's great to see you my girl— he says as he pulls me into a tight, warm hug— look how skinny you are still, I think a certain male hasn't been feeding you properly— he walks away analyzing me and visibly teasing the Atlas who automatically made a face and frowned right after.

I shake my head in denial as I laugh at his attempt at provocation, receiving a grunt of displeasure from him.

— And how are you, grumpy little ogre?— Aunt Maria directs her attention to him, who only mutters "I've been better"— remove that sullen face and come here and hug me too, young man— the same retort not giving up, and pulls him into a warm hug just like he gave me.

I feel like laughing again when I realize that he was a little embarrassed and looked at me as if he was begging me to get him out of there, but he returned the hug still awkwardly.

— Now let's go to the kitchen, I took the day today to make a special lunch for the three of us, as well as make sure my little girl eats properly and healthily— exclaims happily pulling us into the kitchen while saying something about what good food is important in my state, which automatically grabs the attention of my cute ogre who readily agrees.

One is no longer enough, now two are messing with my food, heavens...

— She even eats greens and vegetables, but I still don't think it's enough, apart from she's been eating wildly— says Atlas gesticulating, and I feel like I'm being accused of a very serious crime with the looks that the two give in my direction.

— We'll have to change that darling, don't leave too many treats near this young lady, she's a little and when it comes to sweets since she was a child— she says narrowing her eyes in my direction, but I can see her amusement as she washes her hands and already starts separating the ingredients you will use.

— I think I ended up getting this from a certain lady who was always hiding sweets inside her drawers, I even found chocolate bars inside her socks— I say laughing, remembering that she started using the socks as a hiding place when she realized that I had stolen some of her precious sweets.

— That doesn't strike me as the least bit hygienic— we're taken aback by the amused tone of Atlas who was interested in knowing a little more about my childhood.

— A little ant decided to snoop around my hiding place, and I had to look for other places— shrugs smiling sideways while washing the lettuce, tomato, carrots, and potatoes— not to mention the times that this girl got ready, stopped my hair on end— laugh remembering how often I made Aunt Maria run after me with one of her many dishtowels trying to hit me with it.

— I can imagine how much she was up to, I already have some gray hairs showing just with the stress I go through with her stubbornness— I narrow my eyes in her direction while I put one of my hands on my waist.

— Oh and you don't stress me out? Aunt, he just won't let me do anything, absolutely nothing, alone, I think that after I got old I decided to have a nanny— I say pointing towards him while I tap one foot on the floor.

— If before it was super protective, now all that's left is to put it in a box and keep it like a porcelain doll— she says, cutting the chicken breast and seasoning it, saliva already imagining that she's going to make it grilled with the special sauces that only she knows how to prepare.

— You're going to grill it, right?— I ask, pointing to the chicken and drastically changing the subject.

— Of course, I remember how much you liked it when I prepared this dish, it was always one of your favorites— I smile sweetly and thank you for having this woman in my life.

Tia Maria was always the best cook at the boarding school and I always made that clear to all the other little girls who were there, anyone who dared to say otherwise was sorely mistaken.

Her meals were always prepared with the greatest possible love and care, with her inseparable wooden spoon in her hand and her white apron that most of the time was dirty with sauces.

— I believe I'm left here in this kitchen, I'll leave them alone so they can catch up— my cute ogre says getting up from the bench in front of the counter where he was sitting next to me.

— It's about time, I have to catch up on gossip and news with my girl, and I believe you won't like to know how good Pietro is at... — Atlas quickly interrupts his speech knowing where this is all going.

— Don't you dare talk about another male with my female— he mutters irritably crossing his arms in front of his body.

— She won't love, relax— I say trying to lighten the mood and get up standing on my toes to give a delicate kiss on her lips.

— I'll be close by— he says, softening his face— and I immediately notice that my hearing is known to be one of the best, if not the best— narrows his eyes towards Aunt Maria, then turns around and kisses her on my forehead and belly.

— I felt my legs shaking, now I understand why everyone is afraid of this man, he is extremely intimidating and fierce when it comes to you dearly— says Aunt Maria when he was no longer around and I see her taking a drinking glass of water winking in my direction.

— It doesn't even seem like it becomes a cute little wolf when we're alone— I say laughing— and when it comes to our pup so every night before we go to sleep he spends a little time talking to my belly and I see how strong he is their connection— I sigh feeling a huge love for my male.

— You're lucky daughter, you can't find a man like that anywhere and especially one who is a good father, that child will have it in his pinky just like you have it— replies and I can't help but agree, Atlas is crazy about our puppy.

— And you, auntie?— I see her confused look— how are you with Grandpa Pietro?— I say without making a sound because Atlas is liable to show up just out of a tantrum.

Think of a male that size throwing a tantrum.

— We're fine, very fine by the way, I'm even afraid that something goes wrong— sighs in love.

— Nothing will go wrong, you make a great couple, one is crazy and the other sensible, that is a wonderful contrast— I reply laughing at his grimace.

— I hope I'm not that "crazy" young lady, I can still give that ass of yours a good spanking— it's inevitable not to laugh at your failed attempt to sound threatening.

We talked for a while longer while she prepared our lunch, I didn't even try to offer to help because she would promptly refuse just like she did when I was younger.

I ask him to separate a small piece of chicken for me to sauté for the prince, of course without seasoning or anything like that because it would be bad for my dog.

Speaking of him, he's running back and forth in the kitchen with his toy bone in his mouth, it's so beautiful to see him happy and having fun, I admire the ability of pets to bring that delicious feeling into our lives.

— What does my princess think so much?— I am taken out of my daydreams when I feel strong and cozy arms surround me.

— Just watching our other puppy play— I reply watching him do the same right after.

— Soon we will have another wolf or wolf running around the house— says opening a wide smile and I am even more enchanted by my male.

— We'll have to make some adaptations around the house— I sigh already thinking about some options and I see him jump suddenly.

— I was forgetting that detail, how the fuck could I forget that, we have to start soon, cover every fucking place that could hurt our pup— he starts pacing back and forth while looking around him.

— I know that the pregnancy is much shorter for Lobos, about five to six months, but we still have time dear, we don't need to be in such a hurry— I say the obvious since my belly was just a little bulge and shortly.

— It doesn't matter, let's get everything ready for your arrival from now on, I'll make some calls to the office quickly about it and I'll be right back my princess— he replies by placing a brief kiss on my lips and hurriedly runs to the office.

It's my love, daddy will go crazy before you're even born.
