"I swear the next time I'm called for something as stupid as this, I'm kidnapping your child!" Kaden barked whilst storming through the elegant red foyer of Sebastian and Priscilla's new estate.
Kaden came in time for a young boy to dash onto his feet, clinging onto his legs. Kaden gritted his teeth and glared down to see a Sebastian-look alike peering up at him innocently. He grabbed the stubby thing and dangled it from the child's shirt. In response, the mini-Sebastian let out laughter, kicking his legs in mid-air.
"Who even has a fight like this in broad daylight?" Kaden hissed whilst glancing around what should've been the baby shower of his wife. The room was filled with white, blue, and pink, with all sorts of decorations ranging from tens of balloons strung into fancy shapes to baby-themed food. There was even a baby-food contest for the people that guessed the genders incorrectly.
"And get your child off of me, I hate kids," Kaden barked, placing the beast onto the ground, earning a round of laughter from Priscilla.
"You hate children, yet your wife is pregnant with triplets. What do you say to that?" Priscilla snorted whilst bending down to pick up her son. She couldn't tell what freakish odds were against her, but their first-born child resembled their father as if they were twins.
"That I love kids," Kaden muttered under his breath whilst turning to scrutinize every little detail about the baby shower. At least the bickering couple didn't ruin any of the decorations he painstakingly chose out for his wife.
An enormous pile of presents sat in one corner of the room, with no doubt, enough diapers, baby formulas, and baby equipment to keep them safe for another generation of children. He narrowed his eyes, for the baby formulas would be too much.
"Sebastian," Kaden demanded when he grabbed his secretary by the back of his collar. "Whatever baby formula mountain is there, have it donated to shelters and struggling families. We do not need that many."
"To think you'd one day care for philanthropy, Boss," Sebastian said under his breath whilst jotting down the instructions. He was certain at least three companies sent out their formulas to the family, but lord knew Kaden would be doing his own research on the best one for their children.
"Lina rubbed off on me," Kaden snorted in disbelief with a roll of his eyes.
"You're extra stressed today," Priscilla retorted whilst keeping her young son away from Kaden. Like father, like son, the boy was attached to the walking giant causing havoc the second he walked in.
"Not now, Astian," Priscilla asserted to her son whose tiny hands insisted on reaching for Kaden. With how much Astian was obsessed with Kaden, you'd think this was his son instead!
"Lina's belly is huge and she's all alone in the house, you think I won't be stressed?" Kaden hissed as if she said the stupidest thing in existence. He didn't understand how Sebastian could tolerate Priscilla as a wife, given her fiery nature and swift tongue.
Priscilla shook her head in disbelief. She bent and gave her four-year-old son a toy to keep him occupied. Despite being this grown, Astian still had difficulties speaking properly.
"Uncle Kaden!" Astian cried out, glancing at the toy in his hand with mortification.
"Boss, she's with her secretaries, assistants, and friends, I am sure she'll be more than alright," Sebastian calmly explained whilst typing rapidly into his tablet.
WHOOSH!
A toy flew past Sebastian who dodged it in time. Not a single hair out of place. He went back to responding to the messages on his computer as if his son hadn't tried to murder him with a toy truck.
"I hate kids," Kaden muttered the second he made eye contact with Astian who grinned, revealing his missing three front teeth.
Kaden could see how well Sebastian and Priscilla function. The former was all waters and stone, whereas the latter was fire and metal. Surprisingly, the two went well.
"Yet you sponsored his entire treatment," Priscilla mused, glancing at Astian who struggled out of her grasp. She set him onto the floor in time to see him dashing for Kaden.
"Especially this one," Kaden deadpanned when Astian clung onto his black pants. Astian naively stared up at him, revealing large brown eyes that mirrored Sebastian.
Kaden knew right off the bat that this would one day be the child that'd serve him in place of his father. He just couldn't fathom how the boy loved him so much, despite how much Kaden hated children. It was like a pet bent on convincing the reluctant parents to accept him.
With an irritated sigh, Kaden patted Astian on the head, earning a breathless grin from him.
Suddenly, a phone went off. Kaden took his phone out. The second he saw the contact, he picked up.
"Dove of mine," Kaden melted, turning to hide his large grin. "How is my wife—"
"HER WATER BROKE!" Isabelle frantically shouted into the phone, almost on the verge of tears. "S-she's in the hospital, hurry!"
Kaden's smile instantly died off. What? Isabelle screamed loud enough for the entire room to hear. Priscilla froze, and Sebastian instantly got to work. He grabbed Astian in time for Kaden to storm towards the door, almost knocking the boy down in the process.
"Take our son," Sebastian gently told his wife whilst watching his Boss storm towards the door.
"Take this tea!" Priscilla demanded, grabbing it off the counter. "It's supposed to help with an easier pregnancy, but I think she needs it now more than ever."
Sebastian took the large metal bottle and dashed. He barely made it in time to see his wife holding their son. Kaden nearly shut the door on his face at the speed the man began to drive off. Sebastian clutched onto the passenger handle for dear life.
"You'll kill someone, Boss," Sebastian warned just as Kaden violently swerved.
"Why is the red light so long?!" Kaden growled, just as ten seconds barely passed and he stepped on the gas again. "And why is your house so damn far from the hospital?"
"It's a five-minute drive, Boss," Sebastian stated with a wry expression. He felt his stomach contents swish with each rapid turn that their Boss made.
Sebastian suddenly had the idea to move houses. Why were there so many corners on the street leading to the hospital? What if Priscilla's water also broke at home? He couldn't imagine how uncomfortable the car ride to the hospital would be.
Within three minutes, Kaden reached the hospital. He was in so much of a rush that he hopped out of the car without turning it off. The man might as well have broke world records for how fast he ran to the front desk for information.
When Sebastian turned off the car and got out, Kaden was already waiting for the elevator. Sebastian slid into the cart in time to hear Kaden utter every single curse word to exist. Sebastian was fairly certain the man had said at least 6 languages in one minute.
"She's giving birth any minute now," Kaden bit out. "The nurse said she was already extremely dilated. What the fuck does that even mean?"
"It means—"
"I don't care!" Kaden hissed, shoving his secretary aside just as the doors dinged open. Immediately, he was dashing down the hallways and straight towards the separate birthing room that had been reserved last minute.
This place had not been Kaden's ideal spot. He had planned on taking his wife to the best hospital in the country, which wasn't located in Ritan. They had booked the spot nine months in advance just in case anything were to happen.
Now, look what happened, Lina was three months too early for a healthy child. Only heaven would know what'd happen to her and their kids.
