Claiming her babies

Nicholas POV

Today I was supposed to be at work but Monica asked that I skip work today so I did.

We all sat in the living room. Monica was breastfeeding Mason who seemed to be enjoying himself on her thigh.

I knelt on the floor as I watched Macy who giggled as she tried to crawl to where I was “Come on sweetie, you can do it. Come to daddy” I said, cheering her on as she fell flat on the floor.

She looked at me and from her expression, I could see that she was about to cry so I quickly consoled her “Hey come and meet Daddy. You can do it. Don’t cry. Daddy is here with you” She seemed to understand me because she soon rose and went on her knees as she crawled slowly towards me.

Though she would dakk sometimes she didn’t stop but crawled until she got to where I was.

I was so happy the instant she got to where I was. She raised her tiny little hand gesturing for me to carry her and I did in excitement. “My little girl is gradually growing up” I uttered excitedly as I plastered little kisses on her face, making her giggle lightly.

I looked over at Monica who sat on the couch as she fed Mason from her breast. Mason’s little hand on her breast made me frown a little “Why is he placing his hands over there? Doesn’t he know those belong to me” I asked as I walked to where Monica sat.

“Seriously honey, are you going to talk about this? You want to fight with a kid over my boobs?” Monica asked mockingly as she looked at me “Stop acting childish”

“But those are mine. He has no right to place his hands there” I said glaring at Mason’s hands which rested on Monica’s boobs.

I haven’t felt those boobs in my mouth for a long time because the baby milk still spilled from her boobs but Mason had to know that those boobs were mine.

“Honey he is just a kid who is innocently eating his food from his mom’s boobs” Monica uttered, rolling her eyes.

I removed Mason’s hands from Monica’s boobs and frowned deeply when he placed them back on her boobs. “Honey stop acting like a child,” Monica said amusingly.

“Where is he? Where is that bastard?” We suddenly heard a loud shout from outside and I quickly rose to my feet, conscious of my environment.

The door was opened forcefully as Ethan stormed into the house “You bastard” Ethan said the instant his gaze landed on me. He walked to where I stood and before I could process what was going on, he landed a hard punch on my face.

“Oh my God” I heard Monica utter in shock.

Macy who I held in my hand began to cry and I took a quick look at her, trying to make sure she wasn’t hurt. When I realized she was okay, I rushed to the couch and dropped her gently on it close to Monica’s side

“How dare you? You almost hurt my child” I said as I rushed towards Ethan and landed my fist on his cheeks.

“Honey please stop” I heard Monica say behind me but I needed to teach this bastard a lesson. He almost hurt Macy by punching me. “Nicholas please” Monica’s sharp voice instantly made me stop as I stood up from Ethan and looked at Monica who already had tears gathering in her eyes.

“What are you doing in my house?” I asked Ethan who stared daggers at me from the floor he lay on.

He wiped the liquid on his lips with the back of his hands as he stood up and smirked “You think I wasn’t going to find out? You think I don’t know” Ethan said and I felt like landing another punch on his face.

“Find out about what?” I asked gritting my teeth as I tried to hold onto the remaining strands of self-control I had left.

“This?” He uttered as he threw a white envelope at my face.

“What’s this?” I asked.

“Take a look at it yourself,” he uttered, his voice sharp and echoing in the living room.

I picked up the envelope and shredded it into two unequal pieces as I took out the white paper from inside the torn envelope.

My eyes not leaving Ethan, I opened the paper and froze as my gaze landed on it. The air in the room had suddenly become inadequate as my heart pounded in my chest.

“Do you mind explaining that to me Mr Sterling” Ethan asked, his voice filled with a mix of emotions anger and mockery

“Honey, what’s that?” Monica asked as she stared at me, waiting for my reply but I had no strength to utter any “Honey say something” Monica yelled, her voice trembling.

“How did you get this?” I asked, my jaw clenching “Answer me you prick” I cursed as his smirk only made my blood boil.

His smirk suddenly turned to a serious expression “That shouldn’t be the question here, Nicholas. The question here should be is there a possibility that Mason and Macy are mine?” He said, glaring at me hard and not breaking eye contact.

“Nicholas, what is it? You are scaring me” I heard Monica’s anxious voice beside me and I turned to look at her.

Her blue eyes held fear and panic and I couldn’t tell her.

“You can’t tell you, can you?” Ethan said and I turned to glare at him “Well I’m going to tell her myself”

“Don’t you dare say_”

“What Nicholas had in his hand is the marriage contract you two signed some months ago” Ethan finally dropped the bombshell and I could see Monica’s expression switch from fear to disbelief.

“That’s impossible” Monica uttered instantly as she stared at Ethan in disbelief.

“Why don’t you take the paper and see for yourself” Ethan said and Monica instantly took the paper from my hand even before I could take any action.

“How is this possible?” Monica asked as she stared at me in shock “Is this even original?” She asked as she looked at the paper once more.

“I want full custody of my kids” Ethan suddenly uttered, his voice sharp and confident.

“They’re not your kids,” I said, glaring at him.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

“Then I want a paternity test done now” he uttered and every anger and rage I felt disappeared into thin air.
