Do You Still Love Me When We Meet Again? (Aubrey and Damon) novel Chapter 276

Chapter 276: Damon and Aubrey (Part 2)

The air was starting to turn crisp as the weather cooled down.

Since it had been a natural birth, Aubrey recovered quickly. By the third day, she was already being discharged.

They hired a maternity nurse to help out, but she ended up being more like a decoration. Aubrey’s parents and Tracy had already moved in, insisting it was easier for them to handle everything if they stayed under one roof.

Damon took his paternity leave too, spending every waking moment hovering over Aubrey and the baby.

Aubrey was completely drained. The second they got home, she crashed.

She heard the faint sound of the baby crying. Just as she was about to force her eyes open, Damon’s voice drifted over her, light and soothing. “Go back to sleep, honey. You don’t need to get up.”

Aubrey let herself sink back into the pillows, her mind a haze of exhaustion.

Turn onto your side for a second,” he murmured.

Aubrey obeyed without a second thought, shifting her weight.

In her half–asleep state, she felt him gently unbuttoning her pajamas. Then, he carefully tucked the baby into her arms.

The tingle of her milk letting down cleared the fog in her head just enough for her to look down. Anya was right there in her arms, guided by Damon, nursing quietly.

Damon stayed right beside them, watching intently. He was terrified that her chest might accidentally block the baby’s nose while she was drowsy.

Aubrey offered a tiny, content smile. She didn’t feel a hint of stress or pressure. Her eyes fluttered shut, and she slipped back into a leep sleep.

She had no idea when Damon took the baby back, or when he buttoned her top and tucked the covers around her.

Aside from the feedings, she slept better than she ever had.

The maternity nurse handled all her postpartum meals and spent the rest of her time teaching Damon the ropes. He was à dedicated student, taking every lesson to heart.

Even his mother dropped by occasionally to pick up tips from the nurse.

Aubrey’s rest stayed undisturbed. She barely had to lift a finger when it came to the baby

Other than feedings and diaper changes, the newborn spent most of her time sleeping.

Late that night.

Aubrey was sound asleep when a few soft whimpers drifted through the room. The moment she blinked her oves y Punt was already out of bed, lifting the baby with practiced care.

Damon looked up at her tired face, his fingers gently tucking a stray lock of hair behind her ear. “Babe, maybe we should switch to formula,” he suggested softly. “She’s waking up so many times a night. You’re barely getting any rest.”

I’m not going to let her settle for less just because it’s hard for me,” Aubrey said, her eyes fixed on her daughter. “I want to give her the absolute best. Formula just isn’t the same as breast milk.” Watching the baby nurse filled her with a deep sense of peace. The long nights and the physical toll didn’t matter. She didn’t feel tired at all.

She was determined to stick with breastfeeding.

Damon hated seeing her so drained, but he respected her choice.

He leaned in, pressing a gentle kiss to Aubrey’s forehead. Then, he looked down at the baby, captivated by how adorable she looked while she ate.

The little girl seemed to be using every ounce of her strength just to get a few gulps down. Tiny beads of sweat were even starting to orm on her little forehead.

Damon grabbed a soft towel and gently wiped the sweat from Anya’s brow. He watched her, curious. “She really makes it look lelicious. What does it actually taste like?”

Like breast milk,” Aubrey teased with a smile. “Want me to pump some for you to try?

Damon gave a sheepish laugh. “No, thanks. I’m not about to steal my daughter’s dinner.”

Anya suddenly let go, her little head lolling back as she drifted into a deep sleep.

Damon got a warm cloth and wiped Anya down, then did the same for Aubrey.

He carried Anya over to her crib and tucked her in before coming back to Aubrey’s side. He helped her lie down. “Go to sleep, babe.”

Go to sleep, too,” Aubrey whispered. Honestly, her heart ached for him more than anything.

Her whole pregnancy had been a rough ride, especially during the third trimester. Damon was there for everything. He massaged er cramped legs, washed her hair, and helped her bathe. He’d even get up in the middle of the night to cook whatever she craved He had been by her side, catering to her every need the entire time, and now that the baby was here, he was on leave just to keep aking care of her.

Damon sat on the edge of the twin bed, his eyes fixed on Aubrey.

Aubrey met his gaze, looking a bit confused. “Why aren’t you sleeping?”

Damon got up and crawled into the large bed next to her.

What are you doing?” Aubrey asked, surprised. He’d barely shared a bed with her throughout the entire pregnancy

Damon pulled her into his arms as they lay back, drawing the covers over both of them. He wrapped his arms around her and whispered, “I just want to hold you, babe.”

I smell like milk,” she murmured. “It’s not exactly a great scent”

Aubrey thought back to when they first got together I think I was around 120 pounds when we first started dating”

130 pounds in a perfectly normal weight, Damon said. “You weren’t fata all. You were just right–cute, curvy, and you still had that baby far on your cheeks. They felt so good to touch.”

Aubrey locked up a him, her gaze lingering on his sharp jawline. She reached out and traced it with her fingertips

Damon caught her wrist. Don’t play around,” he murmured. Be a good girl.”

I can’t even touch your chin?

No. You just can’t be the one to initiate. If you touch me–no matter where–I’m going to have a reaction.”

Aubrey thought back to the past, her curiosity getting the better of her. “Babe, do you remember that night back in Crestview City? The time Skylar tricked me into going to your place, right when the typhoon hit?

Yeah, I remember. Why?

I didn’t even do anything back then,” Aubrey recalled. “I wasn’t trying to be suggestive at all. I just walked past you a few times, and you accused me of seducing you.”

Damon cleared his throat, looking a bit sheepish. He gave her a faint smile. “That was on me. It had nothing to do with you.”

I really couldn’t figure it out back then,” she pressed “How exactly was I seducing you?

Just you existing is a temptation, Aubrey. Even the way you breathe catches my eye… and gets a reaction out of me.

Aubrey looked at him, her curiosity piqued. “We’ve been together for so long now, and we’re married. Do you still feel that was Does it still happen?
