LEAH“Mommy… Uncle Hudson and Uncle Brixton are so niceeee! Can they just be our daddy?”Bella’s innocent question struck me like a lightning. My heart skipped a beat a beat, and my mind raced as I tried to process what she had just asked.The three of them were now staring at me, their eyes wide as they waited for an answer I wasn’t even prepared to give.I swallowed hard, feeling my throat tightening. I couldn’t think of any words to respond. But then, Calvin’s soft voice cut through the silence as he stared at his siblings.“But we already have a daddy, right? He’s away at work…” His innocent and thoughtful tone echoed through the room.The three fell silent once more. Calvin’s statement hung in the air, and their little faces were now deep in thought.My heart clenched as I realized the consequences of the lie I had told them in the past – about a daddy was always busy, who was always away and couldn’t come home.“But daddy is always away…” Clyde was the first to break the silence
LEAH'S POVMy heart swelled with emotions. I knew there was no turning back now. I already made the decision, and my kids deserved everything in this world.I nodded at Bella, forcing a small smile on my lips despite the complicated emotions I was feeling. “Of course, you can, darling.”Their faces lit up once more, the pure joy and excitement couldn’t be concealed on them.“We have a daddy now!” Clyde exclaimed, grinning ear to ear as he faced both Bella and Calvin beside him, his face showing a proud and happy look. “And we have two daddies at that!”His words earned a giggle from Bella and also an eager nod from Calvin.I watched them silently. Seeing their reactions somewhat made my heart feel a little lighter. It made me happy as long as they’re happy.“Alright, it’s getting late. You should go to sleep now.” I said in a gentle tone, tucking them once more on the bed.“Mom, can we see our daddies tomorrow? Or will they still be busy?” Calvin asked me another question.I hesitated,
LEAH’S POVI watched my angels timidly take a step forward as they stopped in front of Hudson and Brixton. My heart swelled with a mix of emotions I could barely contain. This moment has been long anticipated, yet I equally feared for it to arrive, and its now unfolding before my eyes.Hudson and Brixton – they were now no longer just the uncles in the eyes of my children. Today, they were finally being recognized as their fathers.“Daddy…” Bella’s small voice was filled with a hesitant warmth as she looked up at both Hudson and Brixton with wide, hopeful eyes.Calvin and Clyde followed suit, their voice low and shy yet filled with emotions.Then, I noticed how Brixton and Hudson’s faces softened. The usually unreadable masks they wore melted into expressions of genuine warmth and gentleness. They crouched down to the kids’ level, their eyes flickering with emotions that seems to tug something deep inside me.“Hey there, little ones.” Brixton spoke in a gentle tone, his voice filled w
LEAH’S POVI found myself staring blankly at the papers on my desk in front of me. It was just past lunch time, and I’ve stayed most of the day inside my office, trying to busy myself with paperwork. Yet my thoughts were a tangled mess. I couldn’t help replaying the events that happened last night, making it quite hard for me to focus.Last night, I hadn’t planned on joining the triplets with their dinner with both Hudson and Brixton. My intention was to let the kids spend some time together with their fathers while I stayed behind at home. I thought it was what Hudson and Brixton wanted to – to bond with the triplets without me there.But then, when they insisted that I come along, I was caught off guard.I could still remember the look on their faces when they realized I wasn’t planning to join them. Their eyes narrowed at me with a look of slight displeasure and disappointment.“What? Don’t you want to come with us and the kids?” Brixton asked, his tone deep and quite sharp that it
THIRD PERSON’S POVHudson and Brixton stood in the expansive living room of their mansion. The walls were adorned with intricate designs, with some large famous paintings and artworks displayed on it. The gleaming marble floors also reflected the soft light streaming through the large, exquisite chandeliers on the high ceiling.This huge, luxurious mansion was nestled within an exclusive villa in City B, clearly representing their wealth and status. Its construction had taken three years to be completed. However, despite its grandeur, it had rarely been used. The two rarely stays in this mansion, leaving it somewhat desolate with housekeepers only coming and go for its maintenance.Hudson and Brixton also owned a luxurious, modern penthouse near their company, which they mostly stayed at as they preferred its convenience within the heart of the city. Therefore, this grand estate was almost mostly untouched.But now, with the sudden revelation – with the sudden change of events, Hudson
LEAH’S POVMy body turned still as I faced the screen with both Hudson and Brixton’s faces on it. It was all too sudden that I didn’t even know what to do at that moment. My heart was pounding too loud that it kept ringing in my ears, leaving me feel breathless.“Daddy, mommy’s here now!”I snapped out of my stunned stupor when I heard the kids’ enthusiastic voices. I pressed my lips tightly as I tried to suppress the sudden shock and nervousness of facing Hudson and Brixton.“Hey…”It was Hudson who spoke first, beside him was Brixton who also had a gentle yet somewhat teasing smile on his lips.“Hi.” I bit my lip afterwards, mentally slapping myself for how constricted I sounded just now. I could only hope they didn’t notice my reaction earlier.Everything about this… this call… just feels odd and new. And it was sending a foreign surge of feelings inside me that I couldn’t even quite name.My body was rigid after that one word I just said. Contrary to earlier, my heart was pounding
LEAH’S POV“Shall we use my car or yours?” Jane asked me as we were getting ready with the files we needed to present later.“I’m fine with any.” I answered her while arranging the files and putting them inside the folder.“Forget it.” Jane stood up from her seat and pointed at me, making me raise my brows.“My car?”“Yes. Your car.” She answered as she waved her hand. “Yours is far more expensive and looks more expensive.”I chuckled at her words. After preparing the necessary files and outputs, we finally headed out of our company building as we both climbed in inside my car and started driving towards The Finance.Today was the schedule to present the monthly report about our ongoing project with The Finance. And as usual, we needed to get to their company to make the presentation.There was an unknown tension and nervousness building up inside me. It was not because I was scared to present later, it was the last thing I would get afraid of either.Instead, the nervousness I was fe
LEAH’S POVFor a moment, I grew still on my spot. It was not until I heard the movements behind me that I finally shifted slightly.“Hey…”As soon as I realized their tall and brooding figures now standing beside me, my heart started pounding even loudly inside my chest.“Uhm… thanks.” I shot them a quick glance before I zipped the folder I was holding, trying to look calm and busy so they won’t notice the current sudden nervousness inside me.“We’ll come with you during the field inspection next week.” Hudson’s gentle voice entered my ears. I was slightly taken back, not really expecting that they would personally go there.Earlier, during the presentation, we’ve also discussed and mentioned about the field inspection that we would be conducting to see the status of our current ongoing project.I never thought they would propose the idea of going there themselves.“That sounds good.” I tried to ignore the awkwardness and nervousness I was feeling. I stared at them straight, flashing
