Chapter 494: Kitten

Chapter 494: Kitten

Seb slid into bed early in the early hours of the morning. As he looked at the sleeping beauty in his bed, he felt his tiredness almost melt away. Nothing could beat this feeling of coming home to Olivia. And then shook his head at his own thoughts. Thankfully, no one could hear his thoughts or if they knew he was waxing such poetry, he would never hear the end of the teasing.

For a moment, just as he was about to pull her into his arms, he hesitated. Should he disturb her sleep? Sigh. He could watch her sleep all the time and he would get up feeling refreshed. So why move her. But even in her sleep, she seemed to sense him. Blearily she opened her eyes and gazed at him before smiling and beckoning him close.

Just as he leaned close to her, she threw an arm around his neck and pulled him even closer, murmuring his name softly,"Sebby."

Caught in a chokehold, but happy about it, he caressed her cheek with a smile on his face," Livi."

With her eyes still half closed, she peered at him," Why are you staring at me?"

"Because I love you.. And I’ve realized that I love you more each day."

Her eyes fluttered open when he failed to answer. With a smile, he caught her arm from around his neck and slid close to her, "I like staring at you."

As she smiled with her eyes closed, murmuring," That is good. I like staring at you too,", he realized that he had never seen her like this. Not in the past and not in these days of their marriage. This half asleep, slightly talkative Livi.

Once he’d gotten rid of this danger, he would need to confess to her. About their marriage and his opportunist and jerk-like behavious and about his love for her. He always hoped she knew that she was the love of his life, but he knew he needed to say it. Though he was kind of scared. Which was foolish, he knew.

The last time he had confessed his love to her, she’d thrown it back in his face. Of course, now he knew she’d been angry and had misunderstood him, but still, there seemed to be a barrier in his senses.

Maybe he should practice confessing to her? That should soothe his anxiety, right? Looking down at the top of her head which was on his arm, he gathered his courage and moistened his lips. He would definitlely practise every night until he could say it to the awake Olivia.

Just as he gathered his courage to whisper the words, her eyes snapped open, wide. Startled, he almost rolled over and would have fallen on the floor, if not for her head on his arm.

Olivia lifted her head and stared at him. Why did he look so worried and terrified? Raising her head, she narrowed her eyes and peere at him," What happened? Is everything okay? Are the dogs okay?"

"Dam* Livi! Why would you scare someone like that?"

Straightening, he caught her head and pulled her close to him again," Don’t worry, everything is alright. They are responsing to the treatment. Gaia will be back in a few hours and Kitten will be back in a couple of days."

Olivia raised her head again from his arm and questioned him, confused,"Why is your heart beating so fast? Are you feeling unwell?"

Just as she would have raised her hand to check his forehead, he caught her arm. He needed to distract her quickly. Of course, his heart was beating fast. If he’d confessed a minute later, she would have been awake and he’d be caught redhanded!

"I’m fine, Livi. I was just startled. I was admiring your beautiful face and then suddenly your eyes snapped open. Kind of shocked me."

Olivia blinked at that before blushing and hiding her face in his chest as she complained," You’re too smooth a talker, Seb Frost. You need to keep that mouth shut!"

Seb’s lips lifted in a smirk as he quickly jumped on the opportunity," Well, you could keep it occupied if you want..."

"Sebby! Just sleep."

With a smug smile, he quickly caught her lips in a passionate kiss before snuggling close to her and closing his eyes contentedly.

However, he was bound to be startled as soon after, he opened his eyes to meet a determined gaze. Instantly alert, he shot Isidora a look as he whisper shouted," What are you doing here?"

Dora blinked at him, her large eyes a bit wet, as she asked," How is Kitten? And Gaia?"

Closing his eyes, he thanked his stars that they did not get into any playing or he could just imagine what Dora would have witnessed. Carefully, he extracted his slightly numb hand from under Olivia and whispered to Dora," They are doing fine, kid. Why don’t we have this conversation outside? Olivia and the babies need to sleep."

Dora cast him a considering look and quickly stepped outside, waiting right out of the door with her arms crossed in front of her and a worried look on her face.

Once he was there, he assured her," Kitten is a smart dog, Dora. She discovered something was wrong with the gift and moved to action. She will be fine in no time. I’ll take you to visit her."

Dora nodded but still wore a worried look.. "What happened, Miss Dora? Why are you so tensed."

"Seb? Can I ask you something?"

Seb blinked at the hesitation in her tone and nodded, " Of course you can ask anything."

"Why were you sleeping with Olivia?"

Seb blinked. What sort of a quesstion was that? Before he could say anything, she continued," My grandmother said that if a boy and girl sleep together then a baby might be born. But Olivia is already pregnant so why are you sleeping with her? Have you been lying about having a baby?"

Seb closed his eyes and suppressed the urge to groan.
