The Hidden Princess At All-Boys Alpha Academy

Chapter 0960

Laughing with excitement, I move past Cora into Pippa's room, heading immediately for the new mom. Cora follows behind me, heading to the corner to pack up her doctor's bag.

"Pips!" I say, grinning and reaching for her hand, sitting down on the stool next to her and beaming at her. "How are you? Are you okay?"

"I'm fine," Pippa says, laughing a little. "Relieved that it's done, happy she's here." Her eyes stray over to where Elias is holding a teeny tiny little bundle in his arms, stepping close so Ben can see. My mom stands close by, standing on her toes, peeking down at the little baby like her eyes can't get enough.

"You're magnificent," I sigh, standing to press a kiss to her cheek and likewise looking eagerly over at the baby. "Did you pick out a name?"

"Bianca," Elias says, smiling over at me, pleased and proud. "We've decided to call her Bianca."

"Bianca," I repeat, loving it, grinning down at Pippa. "So...not named after his mother?"

"Well, she may have the lineage of an Atalaxian Princess," Pippa says with a happy sigh, looking up at me. "But she's a little Moon Valley girl now, isn't she? New life, new traditions."

I squeak with joy, loving that, dipping low to give Pippa a huge hug.
