Chapter 523

I stare down at the flame. I’m not one to wish on candles, but there’s nothing more that I want. “Use it,” I tell him. “I think I already have everything I wanted. It would be greedy of me to ask for more.”

“Do it.” He urges. “Whatever you want to wish for, go ahead, baby. I’ll make sure all your wishes come true.”

I close my eyes and make my wish. I wish for more happiness and peace for us, our family and friends. Kingston hands me the cupcake and takes the candle out after I blow it out. “I’ll keep this for our daughter.” He says. “She can blow this one out for her first birthday.”

“Are you getting our son a cupcake for his birthday too?” I ask, “That’s my tradition, find him his own.”

Kingston laughs, but I’m dead serious. It’s sweet that he wants to share this with our child, but it’s our tradition, and I’m not sharing. We’ll find something equally if not more special for him, but cupcakes and Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star are for mommy.

Like before, he watches me eat my cupcake, refusing even a bit of frosting. I’m halfway into the second bite when I feel an unfamiliar flutter in my belly. I pause, staring at Kingston now. I feel it again, and there is no mistaking what I just felt.

“What?” His face falls. “What’s wrong? Aeliana?”

I grab his hand and slide it under my shirt, finding it easier to let him feel than to explain. “Does it hurt?” He frowns, rubbing my belly like it’s sore. I shake my head and hold his hand firmly, praying the baby doesn’t make me look like a fool because I swear I felt him kick, twice.

For a moment, there’s nothing, and then I feel it again. He kicks, in the same spot, right where I’ve kept Kingston’s hand. His eyes widen, “Is that? Did she did you feel that?”

I nod. “Three times,” I affirm. “The baby must really like his daddy’s cupcake.”

He lets out a soft laugh, his hand glued to my belly even though the baby is no longer kicking. He rests on his knees and places a kiss on my belly, making me hold the shirt while he caresses my belly with both hands, covering me in kisses. “Hey princess,” he smiles. “It’s your daddy. You’ve made me very happy today,” he says, speaking directly to our pup like he expects a response. “Can you hear me? Give us another kick if you can hear me.”
