《Their Beautiful Madness》全部章節：第 131 章 - 第 138 章

It's Atticus's turn to shadow me around the house today. Silas has some projections he needed to finish for the week, so it's just me and my big guy wandering through the house together. There's always something calming about him, like a storm that learned how to be gentle in his own way, just for me.We make our way into the kitchen where Kathy, as always, is two steps ahead. She's already got plates set out for lunch, everything arranged with her usual love and precision. Before I can even reach for my pate, Atticus's already moving.I glance up at him. "Can we eat with Silas?" I ask, knowing how much I love having all three of us in the same room.He leans down, presses a kiss to my temple, and murmurs, "Of course, doll face."He gathers the plates, balancing two on one arm, the third in his other hand like it's nothing. Even the simplest stuff he does makes me feel cherished. The way he takes care of me without hesitation

Through it all, I keep pushing.The doctor's voice cuts through the room, urgent and steady, "The head's out, one more big push, Beatrice."Atticus's hand is crushing mine. His voice is thick with panic and love, murmuring something I can't make sense of. My entire world is narrowed down to a single, desperate need.I need to get this baby out.I inhale a deep breath and everything inside me clenches, burns, and tears.A scream rips out of me, raw and primal, echoing off the walls. My body feels like it's on fire and my lungs strain for air.And suddenly, it's gone.The pressure. The pain. The weight pressing down on me. It all melts away in an instant, leaving behind a strange emptiness. My body goes slack against the pillow, my breaths coming out in shaking bursts.A single, beautiful sound cuts through the silence and fills the room.Our baby's first cry.The doctor's face appears above the sheet, smiling,

She gives us both a smile that could stop wars and silence rooms. It's soft, a little shy, but full of warmth. When she reaches the bottom of the steps, Atticus gets to her first, pulling her in with possessiveness."Goddamn, doll face," he murmurs, voice low and rough. "I can't wait to rip this off you later."She lets out a quiet laugh and Atticus grins before leaning in to bite her bottom lip, hard enough to make her breath hitch.I take her hand and pull her in close, but instead of kissing her right away, I make her spin for me. She twirls slowly, that slit in her dress parting to reveal more of her thigh. My gaze drops, tracing over her curves, down to the perfect shape of her ass.I drag my eyes back up to her face, and when she stops in front of me, her cheeks are flushed. "You look stunning, angel."Her cheeks go even pinker under our combined stares. She glances between us and says, "I should go check on Xavier one more time before we leave."Before she can turn, Atticus and

I glance over at my brother. Our eyes meet and I give him a small nod.He looks down at Beatrice, and his usual cocky smirk tugs at the corner of his mouth."When I first heard about you," he starts, "I didn't understand why and what had my brother so obsessed."His smirk deepens as he shakes his head, remembering their first encounter. "But the moment I laid my eyes on you I knew I had to have you, to claim you, and I wasn't going to stop until I made that happen."Beatrice licks her lips and I watch as her chest rises faster with every spoken word."You have my heart," he says. "Every broken, jagged piece of it. I know I'm not the easiest man to love. I'm rough and can be an ass and I always will be, but you saw something in me when no one else did."His teeth catch his bottom lip. "I may have put that baby inside you, but you created it. You gave me a son, our son. You gave me a life I never knew I wanted. You made me a better m
