CH: 5: Butterflies in the Stomach

Natasha

"Aunty, have you had a baby here?" Kiya pokes at Natasha's belly.

"Kiya, it's rude to touch someone like that without their permission." Xaiden said calmly.

Kiya pulled her hand back unhappily. Her face has a big pout.

"Look at her cheeks look like apples." Danny pointed at Kiya's cheeks as she laughed.

"Her cheeks are not hard. It's plumpy. It's soft like a pillow." Lucas pokes at Kiya's cheeks as he says that. He was sitting beside her.

"Mommy, Danny and Lucas are making fun of my cheeks." Kiya complained about the loud tone.

"No, Mom... We didn't do it." Danny said in a hurry.

"Don't bother, Mom! She is driving right now." Xaiden said in a bit of a harsh tone.

"Sorry, brother Xaiden ." Kiya and Danny said together.

“You three pay respect to Aunt. She thinks we are all bad kids. Fighting each other.” Erica pointed to Kiya, Danny, and Lucus.

All of them turned their faces to Natasha who was enjoying their little argument.

“You don't have to fight over little things. Here, little girl, you can touch my baby as much as possible.” Natasha said with a gentle smile on her face.

Kiya looks at Xaiden for permission. Natasha understands Kiya is afraid of her brother.

“You little boy don't be so harsh on your sister.” Natasha said softly.

“I'm not a little boy. I'm a five-year-old boy. I have a name so call me by my name.” Xaiden said calmly.

“I'm sorry, boy. But I didn't know your name.” Natasha said in a hurry.

"His name is Xaiden. He is the elder one of us. Kiya is second, Third is Erica, after Lucas and Danny and last is me. We were all born on the same day." Nishi pointed at each of her siblings and herself.

Natasha looks at Nishi's shocked face.

“So they were born the same day.” Natasha murmured.

"Nishi, why does your face look like Aunty?" Kiya suddenly pointed out.

Natasha looks at Nishi once again. Now she can see hair and eyes. Nishi resembles her, but she is the Queen's daughter, too.

She was already surprised to see the Queen's five kids looking at the Queen's mates’. But now she saw her reflection sitting in front of her, the name of Nishi. Now she wants to hold Nishi in her arms.

"She looks like mom. Why does she look like an aunt? We met her just now." Lucas said with disagreement.

"You are right. She is beautiful like your mother." Natasha said as she touched Nishi's cheek with her finger.

Her body feels the connection. Nishi's eyes also widened in surprise.

"Aunty, I'm also beautiful like mom." Kiya said as she patted Natasha.

Natasha turns her face to look at Kiya. Kiya also looks more like a Queen.

"Of course, dear. Can I take some photos of you all?" Natasha said with a bright smile.

"Sure. I like taking photos." Erica said all of a sudden.

"Thank you." Natasha pulled out her mobile and snapped separate and group photos of the kids.

Kids are now becoming more comfortable around Natasha. After a short time, Queen stopped the car in front of her office.

Queen opens the door for them. Natasha skipped her breath as she saw Queen's smiling face. When she was her mate, she never saw a single smile on Queen's lips. But here, she can see the queen look innocent when she smiles. The tense and cold Queen was nowhere to be seen.

"We are here. Come on kids come out." Queen waved her hand with a soft smile.

"Ok, Mom. I'm going first." Kiya said in a hurry.

"Be careful, kiya. Don't bump aunty." Queen said in a worried tone as she grabbed Kiya in her hand.

She helped all the kids get out of her van, and lastly, she held hands with Natasha.

“Let me help you.” Queen said with the same soft smile on her face.

“Ok.” Natasha happily holds the Queen's palm. She feels and enjoys the spark running through her whole body and being thrown into Queen's hand.

She sees the Queen's eyes silently widen. It means the Queen can feel their bond too. Queen pulled her hand back in a hurry as soon as Natasha came out of the van.

Natasha wants to keep holding the Queen's hand. But she didn't want to be suspicious. So she just looked around. That was a very wild business area. And the van was standing in front of the tower.

“Where are we?” Natasha asked.

“This is my office building. I'll send my mechanic to repair your car. Until then you can stay here with us. But if you really want to go somewhere urgently then I'll arrange a car for you.” Queen said softly.

“No. I just want to shop for something. It's not urgent to go there. I can wait for my car. I'd love to stay with you. I mean with kids.” Natasha said in a hurry.

“Ok. Let's go inside then.” Queen waved her hand toward the front door.

“Aunty, let's go.” Kiya held Natasha's hand and pulled her.

Natasha stumbles forward. She protectively holds her belly.

“Kiya, don't drag Aunty like this.” Queen holds Natasha's other hand for support.

“Sorry, Mom. Sorry, Aunty.” Kiya apologized in a hurry.

Xain holds Kiya's hand.

“You come with me. Let Mom handle Aunty.” Xaiden pulled Kiya with him.

“Ok, Brother Xaiden.” Kiya walks with Xaiden.

Danny, Lucas, and Erica turn behind them. Nishi keeps with the Queen all the time.

“Nishi, go ahead with your brothers and sisters,” Queen said to Nishi with a gentle tone.

“Can Nishi walk with you, Mom? I promise I won't hurt Aunty.” Nishi asked softly.

“Ok. Don't make that face. Let's get inside.” Queen ruffled Nishi's hair with a sweet smile.

“Here. You can hold my hand.” Natasha holds her hand in front of Nishi.

Nishi looks at the Queen, then she holds Nishi's palm. Natadha's stomach feels butterflies as she feels her mate and her daughter. She held the Queen's arm tightly and did not want to let her go from her side. Queen's scent reminds her of the old days.
