He sighed, still staring out of the window and said. “The only way we can be sure that Sergio isn’t lying is by visiting Aiden ourselves.”
He looks over at me. “We should surprise Aiden with a visit soon. Pack your bags baby we’re going on a trip.”

My belly growls and Ashton lifts his eyes to mine in surprise. I raised a brow, giggling lightly.
“Mom is hungry Ash.” I said and looked at the pillow beside me. “And tired.”
It’s been a good twenty minutes since Aiden had left the room. And like an obedient person, I stayed put as he told me to.
But now hunger was literally eating me alive and I needed something to eat.
Looking down at Ash I murmured. “What could your father be possibly doing for twenty minutes?”
I sighed and sniffled. At least my nose wasn’t runny anymore, only a slight ache on the bridge of my nose was left.
My belly growls again and Ashton’s expression is hilarious. I giggled and playfully rub my nose against his. He squealed, pulling away.
“Let’s get something to eat Ash or I may just die of starvation.”
I got up with him in my arms and strolled over to the door. He’s playing with my hair as I opened the door and stepped out.
The sweet smell of chocolate hit me and my belly grumbles even more.
My brows knot and I looked down at Ashton. “Is the surprise chocolate Ash?” I asked knowing fully well that Ashton had no clue about what I was talking about.
But he smiles nonetheless, those ocean blue eyes similar to his dad’s brighten as he answered. “Moma loves chocolate,”
A huge grin smeared on my face, hugging him to me, I breathed in his calming c*conut smell. “Yes Ash, moma loves chocolate.”
“Sh*t,” Aiden hissed and soon it was followed by a platter.
I pulled away from Ash and looked down the long hallway, my brows furrowing with concern. “Looks like your dad is having a bit of trouble.”
I started down the hallway, the smell of the chocolate getting stronger the closer I get to the living room and kitchen area.
When I appeared I noted how the area was cleaned of the roses except for one on the coffee table and dining table.
“You cleaned up the roses?” I asked.
My eyes shift to Aiden who is in the kitchen and I freeze. And he freezes.
We both froze and even little Ash froze.
There standing with an apron and a cupcake before him was Aiden. In his hand was a piping bag and he seemed to have been busy icing the cupcake.
His shoulders sag and he sighed. “I thought I told you to stay still until I get back?”
Finally getting back down to reality, I lift a shoulder into a light shrug. “I grew hungry. Where’s that breakfast you said you did?”
My belly growls just as I finished my words.
Aiden’s neck flushed pink and it crawled up to his face. He grinned sheepishly. “Sorry mama bear. I forgot to feed you huh?”
I nodded and drop my eyes back down to the cupcake. He noticed my stare and grunted lightly.
“I guess it’s not much of a surprise now is it?” He squeezes the piping bag and it pushes out chocolate icing onto the cake.
H*cked my lips.
“You made a cupcake?” I whispered in awe.
He nods and sets the piping bag down. He lifts his hand in his hair and he shyly scratches at his scalp. ” Yeah. I figured I’d make up for what I did to you on your birthday. If I remember correctly it was a chocolate cupcake, right?” His face reddened even more.
I’m stunned that he remembered.” How did you remember…..” I trailed off in surprise.
The corner of his mouth tugs. “I remember everything about you, Sophie. Down to the pink nail polish on your toes that day.”
My heart leaps and I stare at him a bit stunned.
He really remembered.
My mouth pull and I find myself smiling. “You really were a stalker,” I joked, making him snort and shrug.
“That’s the thing baby, with you I do anything without thinking much of it. You say stalker but I say, protector. I was looking over you like a guardian angel.” He joked, chuckling slightly. I snorted. “More like devil.”
Aiden’s eyes twi*kled. “I’m good with being the devil as long as you’re my angel.”
I blushed, flustered by his words.
Aiden’s grin widened when he sees my flustered state and he calls me over with a curl of his finger.
I approached him, a blush heavy on my face. When I am beside him, he turns to face me, his eyes bright as the ocean on a clear day. He curled that same finger under my chin and tip my head.
“You’re so beautiful when you blush Sophie,” He whispered and gave me a sweet kiss that had my toes curling.
When he pulls away he smiles down at me and ruffles Ashton’s hair.
“Let’s place the candle in the cake buddie,” Aiden said an pried Ashton out of my hold.
He and Ashton pushed a blue single candle through the middle of the cupcake and Aiden then gave me Ashton back to light up the candle.
“It’s not my birthday yet,” I said shyly.
Aiden looks at me with a strong emotion of love. “This is to make up for that cupcake I ruined on your birthday these years ago. This time, I want you to make that wish I robbed you of.”
He comes behind me and turns me around to face the cake. With his hands on my waist, Aiden’s lips brush along my ear and he whispers. “Make a wish mama bear and blow out your candle.”

They always say there is a kind soul in.a once cold heart. But maybe that was my own saying, but I sure as hell believed it now.
As Aiden’s words brush against my eardrums, my body sang with warmth. His once cold heart would never be able to do this, nor will he ever say such words so warmly.
I closed my eyes for a few, savoring the feel of his warm fingers on my waist and then leaned down, Ashton’s head going forward as well.
I puckered up my lip and then said a wish inwardly before blowing out the candle. Today wasn’t my birthday but this was one of the sweetest surprises I had ever gotten. Aiden keeps surprising me with these gestures.
Peeling my eyes open, I straightened and turned around in his arms. He hugs me and Ash, kissing my head and leaving his nose buried in my hair. I can hear him sniff and he murmured above my head. “You smell like home,” He kissed my head again, lingering his lips there.
His words had my heart racing and had tingles running down my spine. I rest my head on his chest, holding Ash on my hip. We stayed like this for a few until Aiden hears the rude rumbling of my stomach. He pulls away. “Forgive me for forgetting about your stomach. baby. Let me plate some of those waffles and strawberries for you quickly.”
I nod and he leaves to do just that.
“Have a taste of the cupcake baby and tell me what you think.”
I turn back to the cupcake and pulled the candle out of it. Setting the candle down, I picked up the cupcake and bit into it.
