"Mommy." Ace cried out while hugging her neck tightly.
Athena let out a sigh as she hugged him back, close to her heart.
"Ace, my baby!"
She whispered out while caressing his back lovingly.
Patricia brought him to the hospital after he started crying for uncountable times, demanding for his mommy and papa.
Athena walked out of the room and entered a small empty room with Ace in her arms.
She didn’t want him to make Dominic’s room more stressful than she already did.
And their friends gave them privacy by not following them.
They understood that Athena and Ace needed a mother and son bonding time.
"Mommy… Mommy, are you okay? Are you hurt? Did you cry?"
Ace pulled back from the hug while looking at her with teary eyes.
He was caressing her face with his small hands, making her smile at the sweet and cute gesture of her son.
"Oh, my baby.Calm down.Mommy is absolutely alright.See, mommy got no hurt.Mommy didn’t cry as well, my love." She said while cupping his face and kissed all over his face.
She expected him to giggle just like he usually does.
But instead of doing that, h e caught a hold of her face and looked at her with a cute frown.
"Your pretty eyes are wet…" He said while wiping a drop of tears which rolled down her cheeks as soon as she heard her baby.
"Aw, they are? Don’t worry, I just…washed my face.They are water.Mommy didn’t cry, I promise." She said while kissing his little hands.
How smart her precious little son was!
"But I was scared.I thought you were hurt."
He whimpered as he remembered something and hugged her again, making her worry.
She hugged him again with a small sigh.She will never be able to understand how her little son always finds out whenever she is hurt.
Just how?! There’s no way for him to know because everyone around him always stays very careful so that he doesn’t know.
Yet, somehow he always does.
"Why would you think so, baby?"
She asked while brushing off the thought and asked in a casual tone while thinking how she was going to convince him that she wasn’t hurt.
"Because I had a dream…"
He whispered out while still hugging her.
His words made her frown a little.
She pulled him back from the hug softly and looked at him with a small frown.
"A dream?" She asked with her eyebrows raised a little.
She didn’t want him to think that it was something bad and get scared from sharing it with her.
"Yes…" He nodded with a cute yet serious look on her face.
"What did you see in the dream?" She asked while trying not to sound very curious.
"I saw that you were in pain and crying.I was scared, mommy." He said in a trembling voice.
His lips quivered as he talked.
She could see that he was relieving the dream and was getting scared.
"Shh..Don’t cry, baby.See, mommy is okay.Absolutely fine.Mommy is not hurt at all." She said in an assuring tone while hugging him again.
She felt guilty for not going to him first.
How scared he was! Gosh, she felt guilty now! But the mate bond, that was as strong as her motherly instinct.She was stuck in between
"But papa is, isn’t he?"
Ace suddenly asked in a trembling tone, catching her off guard once again.
But this time it wasn’t only for him calling Dominic papa.
It was because of how confident he sounded while saying that Dominic was hurt.
What was she going to tell him? She would feel very guilty in lying to him once again.
"Papa.he he is …"
She stammered while thinking of ways to avoid this question.
