Dwayne's POV
Dwayne woke up to find the bed empty beside him. He pulled on some jeans and a vest top, making his way down to Devante's room. He found Mariam walking back and forth across the room rocking their son as he fussed in her arms. "Shall I bring his bottle?" Dwayne asked. "Yeah I'll give it a try." She answered groggily. He made up a bottle from the milk David had brought back the previous night, taking it back to his mate. "Here let me try, you look tired baby" Dwayne offered tenderly, taking Devante in his arms, Devante began to cry, Dwayne gently bounced him in his arms, placing the bottle to his son's lips, smiling as he watched his son suckle ravenously on the bottle. "Little dudes just hungry." He smiled. "So is his mother" Mariam sighed. Dwayne ordered her to go and get something to eat, assuring her he'd take care of Devante.
He walked out into the cave holding a now pacified Devante in his arms where he found Mariam sat on the sofa, head propped in her hands, Marko jogging down into the cave carrying a few bags of take out, placing them in front her, she smiled up at his brother thanking him, neither had noticed his presence in the room. He observed in silence, watching as Marko opened up the take-out boxes for Mariam, placing them gently in her lap, urging her to eat as he placed a fork in her hand. She took a few weary bites, Dwayne felt jealously pierce his soul as he observed Marko grab the fork and actually feed her, she laughed as she ate a few more bites, taking the fork back, stating she'd feed herself, Marko grinned as he sat next to her, grabbing a box for himself. Dwayne shook off the jealously that raged inside him, why was he getting so worked up? His brother was just looking after his little sister, he had nothing to be jealous about, right?
He walked over to his brother and mate, Marko noticed him first and smiled, "Hey bro, hey little dude," He exclaimed jumping up, walking over to take a look at Devante. "He's so cute man." Marko cooed. "Takes after his mother." Dwayne smiled, "Yeah true." Marko agreed not noticing the frown cross Dwayne's face. He needed to get a grip, his jealousy was getting out of control. Dwayne walked over to his mate and sat down, Mariam grinned as she breathed in the scent of him and their son, her eyes lighting up with adoration. "Thanks for getting Mariam something proper to eat." Dwayne thanked Marko, Marko shrugged "happy to help bro" he replied.
Once Mariam finished her meal he carefully placed his son in her arms, affectionately kissing her forehead, "I'm going to hunt beautiful." He told her. "Sure, I'll be fine here, go have fun, find Paul, maybe Star and David are around, take a break, you've been stuck here with me all the time." She suggested happily. "Only if you're sure princess." He replied. "I'm sure, go have fun." She nodded. He pulled himself up, giving her and his son a quick kiss before making his way out, "Hey you coming bro?" He called to Marko, "Nah I'm good, I caught a quick bite while I was out getting food for mizz" he replied. "Oh okay, catch you later." Dwayne stated, taking his leave, the jealousy he had felt earlier returned, he tried to push it back down, he didn't know what the hell was wrong with him, he needed to talk to David or Paul even, Paul was closest to Marko, if there was anything weird going on, he'd know.
