Chapter 261 - Second Parents

Terrence was watching his wife in a messy hair bun while carrying Kal who stopped crying once she picked him up. He was also busy in the house checking a few locks and the security alarm. The internet access was good since they have a satellite and he also has to take care of the farm. His wife was tired even from last night. He didn't know if she had taken a bath yet. 

"I'll take a bath," Terrence told her. 

"Okay." She nodded her head. 

He stood under the shower in the running water and quickly rubbed the soap and scrub to his body and he poured shampoo on his head. He cleaned up quickly and prepared the bathtub with aromatic essential oil for his wife. Women are multitaskers. He always gets surprised that she has food prepared on the table or snacks for him while she's taking care of Kal who cries almost whenever he doesn't have physical contact.. 

He went to the living room where she's singing to Kal. He hugged her from behind and kissed her cheeks. 

"Love, I'll take care of him." 

"Are you sure?" She asked. "You are tired from working in the garden." 

"No. I'm sure." He carefully took Kal and he kissed her lips. "Go and enjoy the spa in the bathroom." 

She smiled and embraced him. 

"I'll treat you later as soon as Kal is asleep." 

"If you are tired, you don't have to. But why not?" He sighed and kissed her forehead. "Go and have a spa, take a nap. I will take care of everything. Because I know that tonight you will be fully awake because he easily got hungry." 

She pouted at him, as her eyes started becoming cloudy. Her heart was touched by an angel from what he said. She hugged him and kissed his biceps. She patted Kal who yawned and was leaning his cheek against Terrence's chest. 

"He's sleepy again." She admired. "I'm going now." She patted him and rushed upstairs. 

Terrence smiled and looked down at their baby boy. Although it wasn't theirs, they will love him like their real son. 

"Alright," he sat down and he carefully lifted Kal. "You need to give your Mommy Maxine a good sleep. If you are hungry just smack me, okay? I will give you a big bottle and let you have it all night." 

Kal cooed and looked at him with wide eyes. 

"Kal, I'm serious." He talked to the baby like the baby could understand. "If you kept bothering her like that, she won't look more beautiful than before, even though you are cute." 

Kal burped suddenly and threw up the milk. Terrence grimaced as he carefully put Kal back to his crib. He wiped off Kal's mouth and then his clothes. 

"Okay, great! That's not a good response at all." 

Kal smiled and showed no teeth. That's when Terrence shook his head. 

"You are trying to piss me off." 

But anyway, he checked Kal's diapers and put him on the baby carrier on his back as he took out ingredients from the fridge. 

"Okay, we are going to cook dinner and you have to be very, very behave." He was filming from the start to show Violet what her son was doing to them. "We will have rice and an amazing medium-rare steak." He showed it to Kal and the almost five-month-old baby seemed to respond with O-shaped lips and wide eyes. "You can't have this. Because you are still a baby." 

Terrence grinned as he imagined having one or two with Maxine and he would probably do the same to them and spoil them and love them. He can't wait for Kal to grow or for this thing to end so he could have kids with Maxine. He wanted to live peacefully with them and work on the farm. 

"We need rosemary for this, also with wine." He told him. "This is a special dinner, Kal. If you love a woman, you should do the same, okay?" 

He already prepared the table and his wife seemed to have fallen asleep. So he went upstairs to check on her and she fell asleep indeed in the bed. He didn't wake her up. He instead kissed her forehead but Kal was such a mischievous baby and he cried dramatically. Terrence now realized that babies can bedevil and angel at the same time. It woke Maxine up and he was trying to hush him. 

"Kal," Maxine rubbed her eyes and sat up. 

"Sorry to wake you up." He caressed her hair. "But this boy here was being dramatic." 

She giggled and stood. 

"I already had enough naps." 

"Are you sure?" He asked. 

"Yes," 

"Okay, dinner's ready." 

"You make dinner?" She was surprised. He held her hand and Kal stopped crying when Maxine poke his fat cheek. 

They went downstairs and Maxine put Kal on the baby hammock. He stopped crying when the music started. 

"Is he hungry?" He asked. 

"I just feed him. But maybe he's hungry, tired of your tale-tale." Maxine giggled and watched him slice the steaks and they changed plates. She put rice on her plate and started eating happily. "I swear, if I have milk I would feed him and won't worry about getting up to prepare his milk." 

"He seemed to like it." He shrugged. 

"I think he's eager to grow up quickly." Maxine sighed and looked at Kal. "Vi will be sad if you grow up quickly." She said to Kal although he might not understand her. 

"Love, I know that you said that he was away from Violet. But it's his mother's choice. Let's eat up before he complains about starving." 

Maxine nodded her head and continued eating, savoring the meat and the sauce from the meat. 

"This is amazing, love. Thank you." 

"Don't mention it. You are tired from taking care of Kal every night." 

"It's my duty. I feel like a mother to him and I will take care of him and love him with all of my heart." 

"Next year," he reached her hand. "We can have a baby of our own when he turns one but I hope that they will finish it before he turns one. Violet should be there on his birthday." 

"But we will celebrate his monthly birthday." Maxine smiled. "So, Violet won't miss it." 

He nodded his head and Kal was watching them when he probably heard that they were talking about him. 

"Yes, we are talking to you," Terrence said and unexpectedly, Kal made a surprised expression. 

They laughed at him. Shortly, Terrence washed the dishes while she fed Kal with the formula milk since he ran out of breast milk. The baby was very much healthy and there will be times that they have to bring him to his Pediatrician for his immunization. 

"He's falling asleep." She whispered and Terrence quickly put the dishes on the dryer and wiped the table fast. The only time that they could make love is when he's asleep. 

He went upstairs and fixed the crib in Kal's bedroom. He also turned on the air conditioner and the lullaby. Shortly Maxine entered the room. Terrence pokes Kal's cheek gently. It didn't wake him up and the couple nodded their heads. They quietly left the room and closed the door. They rushed to their bedroom and Maxine checked the nanny to see if it was working well. 

Terrence hugged her from behind as he shoved his face to her neck, licked her soft fair skin, and sucked it. 

"I have no time for any foreplay." She breathed as she bent down and he quickly pulled down her underwear. Just when they were about to do it, Kal cried and she shoved her face in the mattress while Terrence shook his head. Maxine started laughing so loud and patted him to get Kal. 

He went to Kal's bedroom and the baby boy stopped crying. 

"You are playing on me, right?" Terrence asked him and he only smiled and looked up at him with wide eyes. In the other room, Maxine was laughing so hard. "Alright, come here. We can't make babies because of you." He carefully pulled him up and kissed his forehead. He danced with him a little and he fell asleep. He held him for about ten more minutes and carefully put him down. He then gently left and closed the door. He swore, if that baby makes fun of them again, he's going to throw him back to Violet, but he's just thinking of it inside his head he won't do it. 

The couple started making love and he enjoyed every part of his wife's body. But they were in the middle of it when Kal was cooing and then he tried wandering around his crib and then he finally cried. 

"Fuck," Terrence grumbled but he didn't stop until both of them came. He kissed her forehead and breathed in and out. He was drained, but his wife quickly put her robe on and rushed to Kal's room. 

She took him and brought him to their room. 

"I will prepare his milk so he'll shut up," Terrence grumbled but Maxine only laughed at him.
