Tessa carefully held Gordon in her arms. Now that he was full, he had become a rather squirmy yet adorable little caterpillar. As she inhaled the unique newborn baby scent emitting from him, she couldn’t help but kiss him gently. “My baby smells so good.”
“Ahh.” He thought she was playing with him and cooed joyfully while waving his hands around.
Tessa stared lovingly at him as he gazed back at her with innocent eyes. The smile on his face never left his face while he began kicking around due to excitement.
“Ahh. Ooh,” Gordon gurgled happily. He was an utterly adorable little bean. His babbling sounds melted Tessa’s heart as well as Nicholas’.
On the other hand, Gregory commented excitedly. “Mommy, Little Brother is laughing so happily!” “Yes. That’s right.”
Tessa nodded in agreement and observed Gordon. Then, she exclaimed as if she had found something out of this world, “Nicholas, look. Don’t you think Gordon looks like Gregory when he smiles?”
Of course, they do. They are biological brothers, after all. Nicholas thought to himself.
Gregory also moved closer to get a better look and widened his eyes in surprise. “Mommy, Little Brother does look like me when he smiles!”
His love for Gordon deepened after this discovery. “Little Brother, I’m your older brother. I will protect you forever.”
