Her Unwanted Mate On The Throne

#Chapter 6 Sweet innocence

William sat on the edge of the bed with their baby held carefully in his arms. It was bundled in a golden blanket and could barely open its eyes yet. He was... he was absolutely beautiful. Everything about him was beautiful.

It was like looking at the image of pure sweet innocence.

He looked like his father, Doris could barely see with the tears the pooled in her eyes. This little baby was what she carried for nine months. "Our... that's our baby." She whispered.
