I shook my head at her dramatics, I watched the two of them, Aiden''s eyes were closed and Grace''s full attention was on him. My heart warmed at the sight of the both of them. I can already tell that Alden will have so much support and love ih his life. He would be surrounded by it; I would make sure of that.


    My grin slowly faded and my lips twisted unpleasantly as he crossed my mind. I said to Grace, "I''m thinking of going to Italy."


    Grace paused then she sighed and continued to sway Aiden in her arms. "To do what, Sydney?" She asked exasperatedly.


    I knew she knew what I wanted to go there for but since she asked, I was going to answer too.


    "To find Lucas."


    I was disheartened and shocked when after a month, Lucas didn''te back or even contact me. Weeks. of me waiting stretched into months and still no word from the bastard.


    "Are you kidding me right now?" She turned to me, slipping on her scolding face. "You just gave birth. I won''t let you go anywhere now and I''m sure Mark wouldn''t allow it to."


    I rolled my eyes, "I won''t go now. Surely, I''m not fit for that stress now. I''ll go after a month or so. When I feel very rested."


    Grace shook her head. She looked down at Alden before facing me again, "With Aiden?" She pouted, "I''ll miss him, you can''t do this to me, it''s too cruel."


    I smiled. I smiled at her drama, as usual. I also smiled at the fact that she wasn''t talking of stopping me, she knew I had made my decision and she had epted it.All content ? N/.?vel/Dr/ama.Org.


    I shook her head, "Of course not, I''m not going with Aiden, I will go alone. But, I''ll definitelye back soon, I can''t bear to leave Aiden for that long. I don''t think I can ever." Grace''s eyes lit up in excitement and I knew that if she wasn''t holding Aiden, she would have pped in excitement.


    "Then I had better start learning how to be a single mother now, it seems exciting and I can''t wait."


    I shook her head, "There''s no need to learn anything about being a single mom, I don''t intend to leave you alone with him forever. Besides, I''ll find you some help.


    gave her a sidelong nce and teased, almost wiggling my brows, "After all, it''s not very convenient to go on a date with a baby, right?"


    Grace''s face turned red and her brows deeply drew down in an exaggerated frown. "Wh- what are you saying?" She stuttered.


    "Don''t think I don''t know about you and that handsome doctor. You guys are dating, aren''t you? Tell me the truth," I held her gaze and looking me in the eye suddenly became an Issue for Grace, "Do you apany me to the hospital every time just to see that handsome doctor?"


    "Whatttt," she drew back dramatically. When I didn''t budge she shrugged as much as she could while she held Aiden, "Well," she elongated, "caring about you is true, and looking at the handsome doctor is also true."


    Iughed at her inconvenience and she brightened, a big grin on her lips.


    At that moment, Mark swaggered in. Seeing the expressions on our faces, he smiled and asked, "What are you two talking about looking so happy?"


    "It''s none of your business," Grace said in a singy songy tone as she walked forward and handed Aiden to Mark.


    Mark readily took him from her. He held Aiden so gently and skillfully, that you''d think he had spent his entire life either being a father or studying the art of being a father.


    He closed his eyes and ced a kiss on his forehead. If there was an outsider amongs have thought he was Aiden''s father.


    A smile danced on Grace''s lips as she whispered to me, "I''m going out, you two chat."


    us, they would


    I nodded. The room fell silent as I watched her leave the room while Mark focused on Alden.
