WIDOW IN MY BED

Back to home

Two weeks later…

The news of the birth of the couple’s son Matthew Wallace and Amanda La Wallace, Alexander Kendrick Wallace, had been known to be family and friends but had been deliberately hidden from the outside world considering the background and past of the boy’s father.

The atmosphere at Amanda’s parent’s house was crowded with guests, where Steve and Kellani and their children wanted to meet their cousins. Then Ken, Joey, and Adam came from Indonesia, and Selina, Amanda’s cousin’s sister, and Camilla came to visit. Meanwhile, as the first father, Matt faced a reasonably complicated situation. He seemed busy caring for Amanda after giving birth and little Lily, who didn’t want to be separated from her beloved Daddy Matt.

But whatever their current condition, having a baby always leaves a different impression. Matt’s impatience has become a thousand times more patient, especially for Amanda, who is believed to have conceived and given birth after many tears and the effort to provide a child for Matt and a baby brother to Lily.

“Alex, my dear nephew,” Selina- Amanda’s cousin, kissed a baby’s fat, soap-scented cheek. “This baby Alex is so handsome. Oh, my God, Daddy’s got a visual on him. Look at his fat cheeks.”

“That’s right, Selina. Baby Alex, if you drink milk, you won’t stop if you haven’t burped.”

“Hmm? Why does Baby Alex keep looking at Selina’s aunty? All right, little prince, let me hold you. You must be happy to be held by a beautiful woman?” It seems calm, but Alex is a shy baby who can only stick to Amanda or Matt. This made Selina pretend to put on a sad face when Alex was tiny, almost crying.

“Hello everyone! Lily is here!” The little girl greeted me with a puffy smile and trademark shrill voice. “Mommy, Lily wants to see baby brother.” The little girl then approached and climbed onto the bed.

“Isn’t your brother cute, Lily?” Amanda stroked Lily’s hair made of bun hair. Amanda was so happy she got very chatty and said all kinds of things.

“Yeah, Mommy!” Lily’s eyes twinkled at her brother.

“Whose baby brother does he look like, Daddy or Lily? Um… But his cheeks look like you-round as a donut,” Amanda said with a big smile.

“Yes, yes! Alex’s baby looks like me, Mommy. You’re so cute, Alex. His hands are small but fat like a bomboloni, and his cheeks smell like milk and baby powder. Lily’s happy, Mommy!”

“So clever of my daughter. Beware of kissing him, or your baby brother will cry.”

“Yes, Mommy.” The same smile adorned the faces of Steve, Kellani and other guests, looking enthusiastic about seeing their new family members. They also feel happiness and wonder about the baby, Alex or Lex. Never expected anything else, after Matt and Amanda’s decision to adopt Lily, a few months later, God entrusted a little prince to attend to complete their happiness.

“When did Kellani give birth, Steve? Even though Lea is still in kindergarten, Helios has just learned to walk.” Amanda asked Steve.

Steve nodded, “Maybe next month. It’s called God’s blessing, Amanda. You also never thought you’d be given God’s trust. And yesterday’s check-up, the doctor said, twins.”

“What?” Lily looked startled but whispered a little for fear of disturbing her brother asleep on her mother’s lap.

“The baby Aunty Kellani wants to be born too? Oh my God, so Lily’s playmates are going to grow? How happy Lily is!”

Kellani stroked Lily’s hair. “Yes, beautiful. Kellani said, “When the twins are born, please love them.”

“Certainly, Aunty! Lily’s going to be a great friend and sister!” Lily said excitedly.

Laughter surrounds this many-dweller’s room. Everything is dissolved in feelings of emotion, especially Amanda, who is unrelentingly grateful for God’s gift because she is also perfected by Alexander’s presence in decorating her life.

Just like the name of his son, Alexander Kendrick Wallace. Alexander is a warrior figure, so his little son will grow up to be a figure who does not quickly despair. Then, Kendrick, it’s a blessing from God. Yeah, Alex is an invaluable gift to the Wallace family. His innocent smile, funny laughter, and tears have brought happiness to Amanda, who is becoming a mature parent figure with Matt again.

Amid the chatter heard from outside Amanda’s room-the guests went outside and gathered the central sofa. Also, Lily’s sweet interaction with Alex, who had laughed with her until she fell asleep, made the couple happy. Amanda did not expect that God was kind enough to give her a thousandfold blessing when she let go of everything.

“When I saw them grow healthy and well, I felt happy enough for Sugar. May Lily and Alex grow up to be devoted children to their parents.

“Of course. Like I said yesterday. Our beautiful Lily will grow smart, generous, and full of good things. Our hero, Alex, will grow up to be a responsible, smart, wise, and loving young man when he grows up. I cannot express this happiness in words, my wife.”

Amanda nodded. “Amen. I’m happy too, husband. So much, and forever!”

Matt was splashing into Amanda’s arms.

“Matt-” The kiss came without permission and stratagem. Matt, who is in melancholy, deliberately threw out a soft word when kissing his wife’s open red lips, slipped his tongue and invaded the warmth. Shrieking breath, body temperature heats up as the hug tightens. Violently kissing his wife’s entire face, his love of death.

Intoxicating sensations can’t carry away Amanda.

“S-stop Matt!” Not only kisses but full of affection, kissing on the surface of the chin and sneaking into the neck crossroads Amanda.

“Stop, Mr. Wallace! Matt… You’re completely insane! My stitches are still wet. Oh, my God, you fucking hormonal bag!”

….

Indeed, the presence of children is always a turning point for humans, where the unusual becomes accustomed. They like the freedom to be more at home. Even the impossible becomes possible, proof that Matthew Wallace, known for being ruthless and merciless, always devoted love to his two children-Lily Alieene Wallace and Alexander Kendrick Wallace.

But this does not mean his love for his wife is diminished or in doubt. It is just more about how to treat his three loved ones. Because wanting love to be more impartial or equal to their little family doesn’t matter, the fact is that Mr Wallace loves Amanda, Lily, and Alex very much with all his soul. The love of a father and husband is real.

At night, work hours are always Matt’s most anticipated thing.

Of course, what else would it be if it wasn’t for his little family to meet soon? There will be a special dinner tonight because this afternoon, when he received the school report card, Lily got first place in her class. So, before returning home, Matt stopped by one of the accessory shops to buy Lily a gift.

Since turning 8, his beautiful daughter, who grew up, has often collected anything she can use to beautify her appearance. Either a hairpin, a bando, a necklace, or a bracelet to the crown, all Matt bores, and he doesn’t miss buying Alex a toy train. Because the five-year-old child is happy with public transportation modes such as ships, planes, and friends, maybe on his sixth birthday, Matt will buy Alex a plane or a real yacht.

It turns out that apart from missing his two angels, Matt misses a beautiful but sexy figure named Amanda La Wallace, who is now a wife and the mother of their child.

After six years of marriage, Matt felt an endless amount of happiness. Many people say that the more numbers in marriage and the middle of the road, the more natural it is to feel bored. In that case, it doesn’t apply to the household of the mafia boss and Micheline star chef.

Matt and Amanda always have a way to get back together and harmonize like a couple of goals. Not one of them tries to give up by compromising, but they understand each other what their partner wants. Because compromise will only lead to a time bomb that can explode anytime. Thus, the more they differ, the more they show that there is no longer anything out of harmony that should not be contained.

Yes, Matt’s story short can learn to understand what Amanda wants, and that’s how Amanda understands her husband’s point of view. Matt’s corner of the lip grew as the elevator door of the living room opened. He heard his little palace bustling with laughter from Lily and Alex, who turned out to be playing in front of the television.

“Hello, kids. Daddy’s home. Who wants cheesecake?”

“Daddy!!!” Lily immediately ran into Matt’s stomach, which was still wrapped in a work shirt. Meanwhile, younger than Lily, Alex is proud and only smiles slightly, seeing how spoiled her sister is with their father.

“If Daddy comes home with nothing, it’s better not to go into the house!” said Alex, pointing out that the boy was a complete duplicate of his father.

“How about I bring you something?” Matt smiled ridiculously. “Ah, by the way, this cake is for your sister. So today, you don’t get cheesecake.” Matt said silly.

Alex crossed his arms in front of his chest, “No problem. I can ask Mommy to make it. Mommy will want it.” Matt was no longer surprised by the response of his youngest son, who looked more mature and always confident.

“Dad, what is this?” Lily pointed to another paper bag beside the bakery. Then, the adorable Matt holds his two children to sit on the couch.

“Here’s to Lily,” Matt delivers a light blue paper bag and is greeted happily by Lily. “And this is for Alex. Daddy was going to buy a plane earlier, but Alex already has a lot.”

Alex notices the train toy in his hands without expression and then looks at Matt. “But Alex doesn’t have a real plane yet, Dad.”

Matt looked at his flat-looking son’s face. No wonder Alex is an outspoken child. “Okay, Alex’s birthday is next month, so we’ll buy a plane.”

“Seriously, Dad?” asked the boy.

“Yes.”

“Real plane?”

“Yes, Alex.”

“Who can fly in the sky?”

“Yes, Alexander.”

“Good, thank you, Daddy.” Alex smiled brightly, then nodded and relieved his father’s heart.

Meanwhile, Lily, who didn’t care much about the two men’s conversation, patted the cheeks of the surprised sign. “Oh my God, Daddy’s smart to know Lily’s favourite. It’s so cute, Daddy. Lily’s moved. It’s so cute. My lovely Daddy, Lily’s daughter, loves Daddy so much! Thank you so much, Dad!”

Matt grinned, “you’re welcome, Princess Lily. But, don’t I get a thank-you kiss from my daughter?” A little shy, Lily finally approaches Matt’s figure and lands a brief kiss on the cheek.

“It’s the last kiss, Dad. I’m so embarrassed because I’m in the second grade of elementary school; I already have a brother.” Matt pinched Lily’s nose fat.

“What the hell? Don’t get big on you! I don’t care how old you are, whether you’re 12, 20, or 30. Because you are the daughter I love, my little angel. So, you don’t have to be shy, please. Don’t change? I’d be unfortunate not to be able to kiss your cheek like an orange-flavoured bomboloni.”

“Don’t be sad, Daddy.” Lily then hugged Matt’s body tightly. “Um… All right, Dad. Dad can kiss Lily on the cheek all you want until I get old!”

Oh, my God, it’s turning mellow. Except for Alex’s eyes staring at his father and sister, his family was too much drama for him. A second later, a smile came to Lily’s face, and she began to understand that there was nothing wrong with being spoiled in front of Matt, her father. Lily also promised never to change despite their age.

How can Matt not laugh happily when Lily deliberately brings him and Alex to hug each other? There is nothing most comforting about seeing their children live together and love each other. Although there was no blood relationship between them, Matt and Amanda successfully taught love, acceptance, and sincerity as a family.

Blood may be thicker than water, but love unites them to live happily and are called family. Anything Matt would try as a father to Lily and Alex’s interests, including Amanda’s soul mate and the mother of the children.

“You guys are so good, like Teletubbies.” While laughing a little, Amanda joined her husband and her two children in her arms. “Special dinner is ready, so when do you want to start?”

“Now, Mommy!” replied Amanda’s three favourite people in unison.
