Hey everyone! How are you doing? Enjoy the chapter!
Meridian
Cornelia's POV
When we arrived to Meridian Mary and Mira were waiting for us, they fell in love with Alex immediately and helped us to unpack the bags, Caleb left to the castle for a while and Mary left to the kitchen, so there were Mira, Alex and I, Alex was sleeping and Mira was happy holding him.
"He's really a beautiful baby" said Mira
"Well, he's my son…..I have to confess that for an instant I thought I wouldn't make it and that I would left Alex without his mother….." I said in a whisper
" But you are here with him, just don't think about it"
"I know is just that I needed to tell someone, but I need to tell you something important….now you have another work to do…. You have to change his diaper ..always" and the I smiled
"Really? Mmmmm…..ok but only because he's a little angel"
"Lunch is served" we heard Mary said
"We are going "said Mira and she woke up Alex, who started to cry
" Shhhhh shhhhhh don't cry sweetheart…"Mira started to calm him down while we were making our way downstairs.
The rest of the day we put all Alex's things in his room, I showed Mira and Mary how they had to make Alex's bottle.
I was putting Alex in his cradle when I heard footsteps coming to me, I looked around and a pair of lips covered mine, Caleb and I kissed for a few minutes and then he embraced me
"How is everything going?" He asked me and I could imagine a smile on his face
"Everything is fine, Mira and Mary know how to make Alex's bottle and I told Mira that she has to change Alex's diaper and….." Caleb cut me off and unmade our embrace
"What are you talking about? You are his mother you are supposed to do that kind of things!, and I think you have to feed him by yourself , I don't like that bottle, Alex is going to be better if you…."
"I can't Caleb! Didn't you hear the doctor? She knows what is better for him and besides I don't want to!"
"Why?, if you have a baby you have to take care of him, you can't leave all your obligations to the employees, you don't seem his mother you …."
"Shut up! You don't know how much I love Alex, if I don't want to do something is my problem not yours, I'm not a Meridian girl, I have other idea of what a mother has to do, if you want a girl always attending you and the baby I'm not that one, I have my baby but a I have a life too and you knew it from the beginning" I couldn't believe that we were fighting for this stupid thing!
"No I didn't, and I'm not asking you too much, I just want my son to have a real mother not just a model who has a baby only for obligation" and he left the room, Alex started to cry and I took him to the kitchen, I was feeding him when I noticed that I had tears running down my cheeks , I stood there with Alex in my arms for about 20 minutes and then I took him to his cradle , he seemed so calm…..I just wanted him to be happy but I didn't know other way to bring up a son, that was the way my parents did, and my grandparents, and all my family and I'm here doing the same they did with me.
I went to my room and found Caleb sleeping; I made my way to the bed I wanted him to hold me tight but I knew he wouldn't do it, he was really proud and so was I, I fell asleepn when I was imaging what was going to happen the next morning.
CALEB'S POV
I woke up and I saw Cornelia's back, I wanted so bad to embrace her but then I remembered our fight, what was she thinking when she said she didn't want to feed our baby? I didn't mean to say that she was a bad mother but I feel that she doesn't want to take care of Alex like a good mother should; I accept that we have different ways to see a lot of things but I thought that we wanted the same things for Alex.
I stood up and after my shower I went to Alex's room, he was sleeping so I kissed his forehead and then went to the kitchen where I found Mira serving my breakfast
"Good morning Mira" I said
"Good morning Mr."
"Mira, I'm late for work I'll eat something in the castle" and it was true, the days I was on Earth made me accumulate papers and training.
I went to my room, and I couldn't resist so I give Cornelia a peck on the lips and then whispered a soft "I love you" in her ear, then I left to work.
When I arrived to the castle I found Aldarn, he saw me and smiled
"Hi Caleb, how is the new dad doing?" he asked with a grin
"Fine….." I said not too convinced
"Fine? Caleb, what's wrong? He knew me too well
"Is just that….We have been in Meridian just one day and we already started to fight" I was looking at the ground.
"Caleb is normal that you are having problems, you have been apart all the pregnancy and now that you are together again you have your baby with you" he said and smiled
"It's not that Aldarn, is not because of the distance, the real problem is that Cornelia and I have a different way to see the obligations of a mother, She thinks that she can give her obligations to Mira and Mary and I think she has to make those thing herself….."
"What things are you talking about?"
"Well feeding him first"
"But didn't the doctor say she couldn't?"
"Yes she did but I want her…."
"Hear yourself Caleb, is not what you want is what is the best for Alex" he said , at this point he sound like my father
"But she said that she didn't want to!, "
"And what did you say her" I didn't want to answer that question because I knew that I have said terrible things to Cornelia.
"Well I told her that I wanted a real mother for my son not a model who has a son only for obligation"
"That's bad Caleb, she's the mother of your son and you love her, don't try to deny it, did you ask her why she didn't want to make that? She has to have her reasons and you have to hear her, you have been far while she needed you and now you are only hurting her, think about all the things she had left for you, go and talk to her is the only way you can make things work" he said very serious
"I'm going to ask Elyon for permission but I have to speak with Vathek first" I said and I started to look for Vathek, the faster I found him the best.
CORNELIA'S POV
When I woke up Caleb wasn't there, I knew that the thing were going to be like that but I was hoping that with Alex the things were going to be different.
I went to Alex's room and he was waiting for me, I took him in my arms and went to the kitchen, I had to talk with Mary and Mira because Alex was going to have a specific hour for his food .
"Good morning Mrs." Said Mira and Mary
"Good morning, please make Alex's bottle" I said to them while I was walking to the table
Mary served me the breakfast and few minutes Mire gave me Alex's bottle, I feed him and then walked to his bedroom, I took a shower and then called Mira
"What do you need Mrs.?"
"I need you to help me …Alex needs a shower and I don't know how to do it" Mira just smiled
We spent a really good time bathing Alex, then we dressed him and I took him to the castle with me. Everyone wanted to know the son of the rebel leader and the earth guardian so it took us a lot to arrive to the castle.
I found Ely in her office reading some papers
"Hey Ely how are you?" she looked at my surprised
"Cornelia! What are you doing here?" she approached to me and kissed Alex on the forehead
"Well I was getting bored so we came to visit you" Ely took Alex in her arms and we began to talk I told her about my fight with Caleb and she said
"I can understand you both, he wants you to be at home with Alex, taking care of him , but that is not the way you are used to be, I think that you have to talk but I believe that he is going to get mad if he finds you here"
"Why?" He can't be mad at me if I'm here I'm not doing something wrong.
"Because he wants to protect you and Alex and he knows that you have to rest , I love to have you here but you are weak and also is Alex, if you want I can go with you but is better if you stay home for a few weeks" she said calmly
"weeks? You are crazy I can't …."
"Yes you can, do it for Alex" She does have a point , If Alex needs to stay home for a few weeks I'll be there with him
"Ok Ely, let's go!" We stood up and we were walking to the door when someone opened it
"Cornelia? What are you doing here?" and there was Caleb, he looked at me as he wanted to kill me , I just stood there waiting the worst.
