Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance

Chapter 924

The baby's cries, sounding like a little tractor engine, reverberated around the bedroom. His tiny fists, no match for his dad's big hand, balled up in frustration as he cried his little heart out.

Mia quickly slid off her husband, laughing as she scooped up Henry. "No more tears, sweetheart. Mommy and Daddy will stop kissing, it's all about you now."

Andre pulled back his hand with a smirk, watching their little one, with his pouty lips and dramatic sobs, snuggle triumphantly into his mom's arms.

Henry's usual spot was now shared with Mia, who lay between father and son. Andre turned on his side, gently wiping away Henry's tears with the back of his hand, chuckling softly, "You little rascal." Henry's cries only grew louder.

Mia held him tighter, "You're not a bother at all, honey. Mommy's got you."

She kissed Henry's forehead, and he looked up at his dad with tearful eyes.

"Honey, give him a peck, our boy's being a bit of a drama king."

Andre sighed and leaned over to kiss his son's temple. The cries stopped instantly.

In Mia's arms, the family of three lay on the big bed, all huddled close. The big one wrapped around Mia's waist, the little one nestled into her chest, with one tiny hand always trying to wiggle into her neckline for comfort. But his playful dad would gently keep him from mischief.

"So, what's going on with Conner?" Mia asked, gently patting her son's little bottom.
