His Wife (A Contract Marriage Story) by Heer Mangtani

Chapter 88

Alex and Avora: almost 5 years.

“Skye loves your twins, Anna smiled, her eyes watching the way her little girl roamed around Alex wherever he went. If he went into ball pool, her little feet followed him there. If he played with his cars, she got her stuffed animals there too.

As if just in queue with my thoughts, Alex decided he had enough of his cars and walked over to Aurora who was making something with the blocks, I’m not quite sure what it was maybe a castle with two and half walls?- and knocked it over, grinning.

Aurora pouted, but she’d given up crying about her brother’s destructive antics a long time ago. She grabbed a block and threw it at him, and it missed his stitches scar by just a few inche

“No hitting,” I tell Aurora in a firm voice, and then switch to Alex And Alex? No breaking things.”

“But Mama!” Alex protested.

“No.”

“No hithing?” Skye repeats with a hiccup, and Anna sighs.

“She’s two and a half, Soph.” Anna tells me, “And she already has a crush?”

I laugh, “I’m sure it’s more like her fangirling over Alex. She thinks he’s super cool because he can jump high or something.”

“Yup, she’s not supposed to be fangirling so early on!” She whined, “She’s two and a half!”

I giggle more. She definitely wasn’t wrong. Skye, with her chubby cheeks and shoulder length hair should be busy toddler- ing, but instead, she was busy fangirling, which often mivolved clapping whenever Alex did something he was proud of us (even if we weren’t), and mimicking anything that any of us told him.

“How prepared are you for the third baby?” Anna asks, looking away from the kids.

“Oh my, so ready!” I keep a hand on my swollen baby bump. “I’m like a million months pregnant.”

“The doctor says anytime now,” she reminds me. “Do you think this one’s going to be your last?”

“I don’t know?” I tell her honestly, “I think yes? It just feels like this baby is going to complete us in every way.”

“Girl or boy?” She asks, her eyes shining. “I think it’s a girl.”
