Stranger! Be my Child’s Father new bedroom + new sleeping positions
Stranger! Please be my Child’s Father .Chapter 16: new bedroom + new sleeping positions . It was so very easy to settle into a routine with his little family. Both of them would drop off Hudson in the mornings, Arabella would pick up the little boy on her way home from work, Gael would come home early in the evenings, both of them would trade off on who cooked dinner, and Gael would complete the rest of his work from the home studio. It was nice–some days he could watch Arabella relax and help his son with homework as she prepped dinner–other days he was able to indulge in his wife’s god tier cooking. Certain mornings were a bit rough. Sometimes things didn’t go to plan–but this was definitely not something that Gael anticipated. At first, it was the alarm going off. Gael finally groaned and pulled himself up, and the time on the screen made him screech. Fifteen minutes late–he’d just have to skip his shower to make sure that he was on time for driving Arabella and Hudson to

Stranger! Please be my Child’s Father .Chapter 17: mother in law approaching . The first thing that Arabella felt in the morning was that she didn't feel like death. Her throat had cleared up, her nose was less congested, and aside from the early-in-the-morning fatigue, she felt a lot less like the groggy, tired monster she had been yesterday. She also didn’t feel any of the dry mouth, harried breathing after waking up after a night full of nightmares. She must have had an actual, pleasant sleep for once. The second thing that she noted was that she was very much snuggling into a person. Her nose was digging into a neck, she was practically starfished on top of them. There were arms wrapped around her, keeping her stable, and the chest she sprawled on rose and fell steadily. The third thing she realized was that she was very much snuggling with Gael Laurent. Her fake …whatever. Gael’s lips were slightly parted, head tilting back onto a pillow, and he looked a lot more youthful

. Stranger! Please be my Child’s Father .Chapter 18: family bond . If Gael was terrified of seeing his mother after so long, Arabella was even worse. The rapper had waited until the mother and son duo had brushed their teeths and sipped their coffees (Hudson had hot chocolate made by Gael because it apparently tasted better, but all Gael did was prepare the Nestle chocolate mix, so he didn’t know what the little rugrat was talking about. Okay, he totally put a little extra sugar as a treat.) to break it to them, and Arabella’s face had completely drained of any and every hint of color. Gael was helpless as the woman fretted and ran around the house. She was quick to send Hudson to shower, then rushed to get an ironing board, ironing out Gael’s and Hudson’s clothes until they were creaseless. (Apparently Arabella had invited herself to pick out what Gael was wearing to impress his mother.) Gael too, was pushed to go shower by Arabella, and Hudson and him could only exchange a h

Stranger! Please be my Child’s Father .Chapter 19: a regular night . Ideally, the night wasn’t supposed to include Arabella almost stabbing Gael with a chip, or Faye laughing so hard that juice spurted out of his nose, or Hudson biting Louis’s finger. See, initially, it had been a regular night. Gael had kicked off his shoes at the door, 4:00 PM reading out on his watch. He supposed it was the earliest ever that he had managed to come home, but he rather liked it. It was still light outside, and if he had timed it right, Arabella and Hudson were both home. He loosened his tie, before the pattering of feet clued him into the presence of newcomers. Arabella and Hudson seemed to be racing to get to him, and Seokjin, was notably losing in her haste to protect her little son from smacking into the corners of walls. Gael felt his heart do a little flip flop as he saw the mother and son duo rushing to get to him. He’d never been welcomed this way, not before these two, and everytime

Stranger! Please be my Child’s Father .Chapter 20: life comes at you fast . True to his word, Gael had scheduled the photoshoot. Given his name and power, he was given an appointment immediately, for the day after. (It helped that he had practically helped raise this particular photographer, almost like a son of his and one of his favorite people.) Hudson, for one, looked adorable in his little suit that Gael had gotten tailored for him, tie adorably twisted and knotted (Hudson had been insistent that he wear the tie with the tigers, and so the orange cartoon animals leapt out of the fabric.) Gael, dressed in his own neat suit himself, hoisted the boy to rest on his hip, peppering soft kisses to his cheeks. When Arabella stepped out, Gael felt his mouth go dry. It was so ridiculous… What difference did it make that her hair had been neatly swept back, a strand acting as a fringe for her to keep out of? What difference did it make that her lips looked glossy and sheen, as thoug

Stranger! Please be my Child’s Father .Chapter 21: behind the scenes . “Hudson buddy.” Momma’s voice was shaky, and for some reason, Hudson thought he saw something shiny on her face. He turned, holding Benny tight to his chest. “What are we?” “We’re … we’re a team.” Hudson answered. He saw his mother nod once, pressing the car faster into the pouring torrent. After a heartbeat, Hudson spoke. “Momma…where’s daddy?”oOoGael stretched awake, burying his face in the pillow, trying to get a few more hours of rest, but it was rather futile. He was awake. He tightened his arms, hoping to pull Arabella closer to him, ready to bend down and kiss his… Well, he didn’t really know what Arabella was to him.. But, she was his. Yeah… His Arabella. That had a nice ring to it.Unfortunately, his hands came back empty, save for the sheets that he had grasped throughout the night. After rubbing the last of his sleep from his eyes, Gael sat up, realizing that he was alone in the room. It was r

Stranger! Please be my Child’s Father .Chapter 22: beneath the edges . || March 4th ||I’m surprised as I write this. I’m unable to believe that this is real, not a dream that my brain has conjured in order to trick me. But I should keep this updated. This very may be something that can be used to prove my innocence in court, if it escalates as I think it will. Yesterday, I went out with Jonathan and Hudson in the backseat, one of those company parties. They had become much more manageable now that I have Hudson, it was easy to excuse myself to soothe my baby, or to say that we both needed a moment. It was okay, Jonathan was charming investors, and Hudson had a magnificent time gnawing at my dress. On the way back, I quietly commented that one of the investors had been very sweet to Hudson, that I liked the company. It was a blasé comment, I didn’t mean anything by it. Just to fill the car, because Hudson got nervous when the car was quiet. If Jonathan could talk more about th

Stranger! Please be my Child’s Father .Chapter 23: one more shot . “I think I’ve been waiting for your call.” Ian answered. “You know my wife.” Gael said back. “Not quite. But this will be better explained in person. I’ll see you in 15, bro.” The younger murmured back. True to his word, exactly fourteen minutes later, his doorbell was ringing. Gael opened the door, and the bunny-looking boy took one glance at his face, before pulling him into a tight hug. He moved slightly to reveal the shorter boy that had been standing behind him, playing with his fingers. “Bro. This is my boyfriend, Jayden. I have a strange feeling that he can answer the questions you have.” Ian murmured, tugging the other who bowed and mumbled a shy hello, peeking out from behind pink strands of hair. Once the couple was seated across from him, Gael leaned forward. “About my wife…”The man, Jayden, seemed to be a little timid. But tucked safely under the secure arm of his boyfriend, he addressed Gael te

Stranger! Please be my Child’s Father .Chapter 60: one honeymoon later . Gael walks back up to their room with a tray holding two glasses of orange juice, coffee, and as many danishes as he felt comfortable stealing away from the hotel’s continental breakfast. He could have just stayed in bed and ordered up room service, it’s not like they can’t afford it, but Gael had woken up this morning and looked at Arabella’s face on the pillow next to him, peaceful and deeply asleep, and felt like he might burst. It filled him with too much energy to stay in bed, but he couldn't wake her either, not when she looked sweet as honeycomb dripping in sunlight.So Gael had left the quiet stillness of their honeymoon suite in search of sustenance for both of them. It occurred to him on the way back that he might be following some unconscious, primal instinct, fulfilling a caveman desire in the back of his brain to provide for his wife or something like that. It didn’t make much sense, because G
Stranger! Be my Child’s Father bigger version of them both
Stranger! Please be my Child’s Father .Chapter 59: bigger version of them both . Gael followed orders to change into a pair of scrubs so he would be able to join them in the delivery room. He was attentive to Arabella whenever she called out for him. He gave her a message and got her a glass of water whenever she needed it. His nerves were there, lingering underneath the surface as he watched Arabella scream through a few painful contractions. He couldn’t imagine the pain that the other woman was going through. Gael whispered to her words of encouragement, but he was sure that the other was far too focused on breathing to really hear him. Right as they were being taken to the delivery room, Arabella held Gael’s head between her hands. They stared at each other before Arabella kissed him. “You know I love you, right?” “I know.” She nodded before her face scrunched up into another pain expression. It happened a lot faster than they thought. Honestly, giving birth was harder t
Stranger! Be my Child’s Father a Christmas miracle, then?
Stranger! Please be my Child’s Father .Chapter 58: a Christmas miracle, then? . The following weeks were rough, but all was fine. Hudson was taken in by Faye until his parents could take him home with his baby siblings. The boy did well in the final week of school. He smiled when he got to spend more time at the hospital with his momma. Faye took him, bringing along toys and other things for the boy to play with while she knit and chatted with Arabella. Gael would come and gather the boy before practice and they would all have dinner together before leaving. Afterward, Hudson goes back with Faye and Gael goes to the hospital to stay with his wife. Arabella has been gaining color back and, despite the huge round stomach, the woman moves as much as she can. She complains afterward about her back hurting or her ankles being swollen. She complained she was ugly and bloated, but Gael kissed her silent. Ian offered to pay for a private room when he heard that Arabella didn’t want G
Stranger! Be my Child’s Father together
Stranger! Please be my Child’s Father .Chapter 57: together . Hudson comes running out of his room, dressed in his new outfit Gael got him when the younger grew out of the last one he had. It’s a nice crisp black like one of Gael's old favorite outfit. Gael chuckles as he sets up the zoom meeting. He isn’t sure if his father will be there, he still hasn’t come around to Arabella fully. He knows that his mother probably has informed him of everything already. He knows she wants them to fly out to that country for the wedding and to visit family since Arabella will be a part of their family soon, but he really doesn’t want that. Sighing, Gael makes sure Hudson’s laptop is facing the couch and plugged in to save battery as they call. It is later than either would like Hudson to be up, but it is the only time that they can call. It’s nearing 10 pm and Hudson really should be in bed, but tomorrow is Saturday and they aren’t going anywhere other than practice and Arabella’s appointm
Stranger! Be my Child’s Father family can be more than two
Stranger! Please be my Child’s Father .Chapter 56: family can be more than two . “Friends and family, guests and competitors!” The announcer comes over the PA again, “Welcome to the Featherlight Finals! We will now announce the finalists. In red, hailing from Las Vegas, Nevada, weighing at 124 pounds is Drake Fowller.” As the man walks out, a large roar from the crowd comes. Arabella remembers what Gaby told him about Fowller. He is slightly smaller than Gael, but only by an inch. He is 21 years old and won last year's competition. “In blue, from Eugene, Oregon, weighing in at 130 pounds exactly, is Gael Laurent.” Arabella claps and cheers along with their section. She wants to believe her ears when the cheers for Gael are more powerful than the other, but she isn’t sure. Maybe Gael is more popular than she thought. The man walks out, the blue gear on him. He looks bigger with those on him, though he is slender. He has the same face as earlier. This time, he looks up right awa
Stranger! Be my Child’s Father finals
Stranger! Please be my Child’s Father .Chapter 55: finals. As they went into the second round, Arabella saw a shift in Gael. As the second round started, Gael went on the offensive right away, attacking with a strong kick and backing Trevor into a corner. He was able to get a hit in and the crowd roared again, but something didn’t get called right and the round was paused as Gael’s coach called out the missed point. Gael backed away, chest heaving. Trevor looked ready to continue, not taking the moment to rest. Gael stood with his hands on his hips, trying to steady himself. Arabella knew the other was nervous. He’s been nervous this whole weekend. He confided in her, a few nights before they came, that he used to not get nervous. That the last time he remembers being this nervous was the night before his match that would decide if he got onto the Olympic team or not. Now, the artiste was nervous for every match, as if he knew that this could be his last at any moment. The po

Stranger! Please be my Child’s Father .Chapter 54: do well, daddy . The third match goes well, Gael coming out on top as the man wins with a good lead. He advances to the semi finals that will be held the next day. As they are leaving to grab dinner, their friends heading with them, Arabella groans about how much her back hurts. Gael picks her up, carrying her bridal style as they head toward the cars. The competition is being held in Portland. They all drove in and are staying at a hotel. They planned on staying the whole weekend even if Gael didn’t make it to the second day. Having their friends here is an added perk. Grinning, Arabella holds tight to Gael as they walk out. “Laurent!” Someone yells off to the side of them. Gael turns, soft eyes glazing over with ice. He sets Arabella down, moving in front of her a little. Faye and Louis, who were holding Hudson’s hands, stopped ahead of them. Standing across from them is a man dressed in a matching track suit like Gael’s wa
Stranger! Be my Child’s Father more than one talent
Stranger! Please be my Child’s Father .Chapter 53: more than one talent . Laying in bed, Gael runs his hands over Arabella’s sides and stomach. Both of them put Hudson to bed before heading in to wash up for bed. Taking a shower together while Gael is far too attractive to Arabella’s body wasn’t the smartest idea. The two could barely keep their hands to themselves as the water slid over their bodies. Arabella loves watching Gael’s muscles flex and twist and turn as he moves about. She loves running her hands over the firm skin that stretches over the his back and chest, the powerful muscles in the man’s thighs brushing up against her own. Now, with her stomach growing, Arabella likes it when he rubs his strong hands over the bottom and sides of her stomach. She also loves when the man’s fingers trail along her ribs and chest. Or when his mouth will travel over her skin. Like now. Arabella didn’t get dressed other than a shirt, not feeling the need for pants. She laid down as G
Stranger! Be my Child’s Father cha cha and chi chi
Stranger! Please be my Child’s Father .Chapter 52: cha cha and chi chi . The trio made it home safe, Arabella crashing onto the couch. She placed a hand on her tummy, groaning. Her pants have stopped fitting, shirts growing small. Gael and her went out earlier on in her first trimester and helped her pick out clothes that she will wear during her final months. Her favorite has been the dresses that fall right over her knees. She doesn’t wear them out, but at home, it’s all she wears. “No wonder I’m so tired and big. I have two babies in there,” Arabella groaned, kicking up her feet. Hudson giggles, sticking his ear to the round of Arabella’s stomach. “So there are two of them?” Arabella nods, running her hand through the boy’s hair. “I love you, baby Chacha. Wait,” Hudson sits up, staring at her. “What is the other baby’s name?” Arabella hummed, tapping her chin. In some culture, it is normal to name the fetus to call them that. Gael started calling the baby Chacha after Arab
