She's My Sleeping Pill

“How would I know which one they wanted?” Stefan questioned. “They don’t talk and they don’t make gestures, either.”

“First, you got to check their diapers. If there was nothing wrong, you could assume that the baby is hungry, considering you haven’t fed them, yet.”

The lecture started with Stefan listening to every word Shiara said. She even taught him how to properly hold the milk bottle to make sure that the baby will be able to drink from it comfortably. Cayenne could see his hand shaking while holding it.

“After feeding the child, you have to carry him or her like this,” Aaron was the one who carried the child this time since his wife was the one who carried their daughter earlier. “You have to gently pat her back and wait for her to burp. That is necessary.”

Stefan nodded his head in understanding while watching how the other man did it.

“In our case, we prefer to walk her around if she has gotten her sleep and food already. Sometimes, we would read her picture books or we allow Maya to sing a song for her – anything that would get her attention. Then, if she starts crying again, we would check her diapers and if there’s nothing wrong, we would consider putting her back to sleep since she just drank the milk.”

Even during their lunch, Shiara and Aaron shared their experience with Cayenne and Stefan. The reason why they chose them for help was that they were living normally and they don’t spoil their child. Cayenne can’t afford to raise her kids as Travis does with Raizel. The man was just too lavish.

In the afternoon, Stefan learned how to carry a baby comfortably. He learned the dos and don’ts for kids, especially in avoiding the tendency to spoil them.

.....

Cayenne was learning as well even though she was just observing. She has little knowledge of racing a child because of her brothers but she just wanted to refresh her mind. After all, it happened so long ago and her brothers have grown so big now.

Two days later, Stefan and Cayenne went home. As soon as they returned, Stefan wrote down the things that he needed to remember for his children. To him, he was doing all these for the sake of his wife. He would never admit that he was just really excited for them to come. At night, when Cayenne was asleep, he was even searching for the best milk formula if they ever needed one. He compared different products and the nutritional facts written on them.

At the same time, Elena posted some stolen pictures that she took during the two days that Stefan and Cayenne stayed with her sister. Just looking at them made her want to have a child of her own as well.

-Your children will have the best parents in the world. –

Accompanying this caption were the pictures of Stefan feeding the baby, carrying the baby while reading a picture book, and a picture of Cayenne playing dolls with Maya.

Her post received many reactions from people. Some were good and some were bad, saying that the couple was pretentious. However, Cayenne and Stefan have no time for their haters anymore. They can feel hate, anger, and whatsoever, but the couple no longer cares.

Another day has passed, it was Saturday and Cayenne was at the foundation warehouse with her husband. It was early in the morning and he already vomited twice. Still, nothing would beat his determination to be with his wife.

“Are these all the things?” Cayenne asked Jackson when she saw the boxes of things that she ordered him to buy. “Did you include the kit bags?”

“Yes, Ms. Yen. Sir Kyle and I did the inventory. We can start packing them whenever you want.”

Cayenne nodded her head and clapped her hands thrice. Her staff approached her immediately and she instructed them to stay in different spots, at least one meter from each other. Each staff was responsible for one item being placed inside the bag and the last person was responsible for checking if the bag has all the items before giving it to the bodyguard who will then carry the packages to the van.

“Kath, can you stay at the end and check the bags if they have all the things? There should be a bottle of baby shampoo, baby body wash, a baby towel, a milk bottle, 2 bibs, a bottle brush, 4 cans of baby milk, and a pack of baby wipes.”

“Got it, sis Yen.”

Since Cayenne and Stefan were expecting their babies to come into the world soon, they wanted to share their happiness with other parents out there by giving them some baby essentials. It wasn’t much but Cayenne was happy to see that she was able to help a little.

“Is there anything that I can help with?” Stefan asked when he noticed that he was the only one who wasn’t doing anything. Even his wife who was carrying three babies in her tummy was busy with so many things.

“Just stay beside me,” Cayenne responded and patted the spot next to her. “Don’t go anywhere else. Why don’t you watch the videos that Shiara shared?”

“If you say so.”

Cayenne happily pulled out a kit bag and placed a bottle of shampoo inside it before giving it to the next person who was responsible for the baby’s body wash. Beside her, Stefan was watching a video about parenting. Both were doing the things that make them happy with the help of other people.

During lunch, the bodyguards arranged some tables and chairs for everyone and not long after, Stanley came along with three hotel staff who works in another hotel that Stefan owns. They brought out different dishes for everyone which were ordered by Stefan. Cayenne didn’t even notice that he already bought food for them.

“Thanks, hon,” Cayenne whispered and gave him a light kiss on his lips.

Everyone: We’re not eating yet but we got an advance dessert.
