Chapter 389 - Welcome To The World! (2/2)

...

Ten minutes later.

Queen Margaret, King Antone and Princess Abigail entered the room.

Adam smiled broadly at his family and placed the baby in his father's arms.

King Antone smiled at his grandson, he was a proud grandfather. ”Ah...my first grandson! Our family is expanding,” he said, his eyes welled, holding back his emotion. ”Although this baby born at this era of uncertainty but his coming to our lives is symbolic, it's like the coming of new age and hope. One day, we will regain our freedom back, and roam the world again and live free as a bird just like everyone else!”

Queen Margaret looked at Hannah. ”We are going to bring the baby to Zain's prison room so that the father and son can finally meet each other.”

Hannah nodded her head in agreement.

The royal family left the room.

They appeared on Zain's room at the same time.

Zain at that time was sitting on the edge of the bed, staring at the floor, bored to death. His eyes widened in surprise when his entire family appeared inside the room. Then his gaze was drawn to the little bundle his father was carrying in his arms.

King Antone smiled at his eldest son and walked towards him. He handed the baby to his reluctant father. ”We gathered here to celebrate this milestone...your son with Hannah was born in this world as a symbol of hope for our clan...”

Zain looked at the sleeping infant in his arms. As he was staring at his son's features...he can't explain what he exactly feels at that moment...as if there was an invisible hand caressing his heart...giving him solace and comfort the moment he laid eyes on his son's face.

”Leave us alone!” Zain ordered to his family. ”I want to spend time alone with my son...” he demanded.

The royal family looked at each other with uncertainty showing in their eyes, no one wanted to get out of the room. They were all fearing that Zain will do something to the infant.

Zain looked at the faces of his family. ”Why are you not leaving yet?”

No one dared to answer him.

”Do you think I will do something bad to my son?” Zain was disappointed with them for their lack of trust. But then he can never blame them, the way he acted before is not worth their trust anymore. But right now, while he was holding his son for the first time, he wants to be alone with him to sort out his confusing feelings as well.

Queen Margaret glanced at her companion. ”We shall give Zain a private moment with his son...” she finally said.

Finally, everyone agreed, and they all disappeared from the room.

Zain continues holding his son in his arms. While looking at the baby's angelic features...his tears suddenly streamed down from his face. There's something ethereal about the sight of his son that squeezes his heart... and it's so painful at the same time utterly beautiful. He lowered his head down and planted a gentle kiss on the baby's forehead.

Finally, Zain understood the feeling of being a father for the first time in his adult life... to become a parent to this fragile and pure being that was sleeping peacefully in his arms was truly terrifying...he believes for a second that he doesn't deserve his son. Mixed emotions bombarded his mind and heart...there was fear...excitement...happiness and above all... a feeling of anxiety if in the long run, he can be a good father to his offspring.

But despite the turmoil raging inside his heart and mind, one thing is clear...his son has finally arrived into this world and he needs his father's unconditional love and care.

A bittersweet smiled curled on Zain's lips. ”Welcome to the world, son!” he finally said.
