Chapter 61 - Pinky Promise (1/2)

Deep in his thoughts, Alxandre steered the car into the garage. He frowned as he looked at Lily in regret. Before quietly opening the car door and getting out and opening the door of her side. She was sound asleep with Adrien in her arms. Alexandre bent over her, unbuckled her seat belt.

”Lily.” he whispered softly. She huffed her sweet little nose with dissatisfaction. Suddenly his face brightened. He raised his hand, stretched it out for her face, whispered her name and touched her cheek gently. Stroke with his thumb over her soft skin.

Lily breathed out sniffingly.

Suddenly, Adrien opened his eyes. Stared at him in confusion. ” Did you sleep well, sleepyhead?”

The little rascal yawned loudly before nodding his head in affirmation. There was still tiredness on his face as he tried to slide off Lily's lap. Alexandre grabbed him under his arms and gently placed the toddler on the floor.

”Thank you.” Addy laughed before waddling to the entrance, rubbing the tiredness out of his eyes with his tiny fists.

Alexandre chuckled as he followed him with his eyes.

With a sigh he bent down to his sleeping wife and lifted her into his arms. Her head fell on his chest while she continued to sleep peacefully.

With a kick, he closed the car door and followed Adrien to the entrance door.

Inside the house, he laid Lily on the bed, took off her shoes and covered her.

All of a sudden he could hear trampled steps coming closer from behind him. ”Alec?” Out of breath, Adrien stood in front of him with his teddy bear in his hand.

With a grin on his lips, Alexandre reached out to ruffle through the soft hair of the little one. ”What shall we play?”

His eyes blink at him, big and blue and filled with affection and pure joy. ”Will you watch Momo with me?” Adrien's eyes lit up as he gazed shyly at Alec.

”Sure.” Alexandre laughed softly. ” But first let's slip into something comfortable.”

Alexandre offered his hand to the toddler, who gripped it beaming with joy. His chubby little hand was soft and appeared so tiny in his own hand. Holding Addy's hand, they left the bedroom and quietly closing the door.
