The Mafia's Babies by Kaycee Romano (howl and other poems txt) 📗

"What's your name, by the way?" She asked, taking out three coffee mugs from the wooden cabinets.

"Alison Wilkins." The gorgeous smiled genuinely. She had a very pretty smile.

"And I am-" River didn't get to finish it because one of her kids started wailing at that moment. Sebastian held a finger up knowingly and flicked it. As if on cue, the other one joined the morning chorus.

She placed the mugs down and was about to rush towards them when Sebastian held his palm up and gestured to himself. "I will take care of them. They obviously love me more."

River rolled her eyes as he turned on his heels and jogged towards the nursery.

"Are they.. " Alison trailed off, looking surprised again.

"Mine? Yes." River smiled. "He's their godfather."

"And the father?" Alison asked as she poured the coffee into the mugs.

"Not in the picture." River offered her a warm mug of coffee which she gratefully accepted. She passed her the cream and set Sebastian's mug down next to her before getting her own and climbing on to the kitchen counter.

"So what do you do?" She asked, taking a sip of my delicious coffee, savoring every drop. She had missed it during her eight months of being pregnant.

The children were born at thirty fifth week. A bit premature. They had managed to strangle each other with their umbilical cord so they had to operate them out. They both had some breathing troubles at first. But it was kind of normal for twins to be born before forty weeks. River had some complications as well. Well, she did have a very difficult pregnancy. The three were kept at the hospital for two more weeks and now were completely fine. Now she had two healthy two-month-old babies.

A girl and a boy, as she had predicted.

Kiara and Lucas Johnson.

"I work at Rhode Industries. I am assistant to the PA of the President. " Alison said. "And you?"

River nodded. Rhode Industries were pretty famous and the former chairperson was one of Dr. Rose's patients. "I am a resident doctor. I am going to resume work in a few months."

"What about the kids?" She pointed at the door Sebastian had disappeared into.

"My mother and grandmother are more than happy to take care of them." She smiled at the guest.

The two women fell into a comfortable silence, the only sound the occasional whimper or chuckle from the nursery.

"Do you miss being pregnant?" She asked out of the blue.

River was confused by the question. That really was a dumb question.

"I miss my bump." She shrugged unsure, as she took another sip from her mug.

The both of them stared at each other for a second before they burst out laughing.
They were catching their breath when they heard Sebastian make his way back.

River quirked a brow seeing the expression etched on his face.

"Oh my god!" Sebastian joined them on the table. "What on earth are you feeding them?"

His face was scrunched and his forehead beaded with sweat.

Alison and River looked at each other, and burst out laughing again, clutching their sides.
