Bewitched His Soul

Chapter 12 - 11

Aiden has taken Sophia to the hospital for a checkup.

"Mr. Cooper, your wife and the babies are perfectly alright," the doctor said.

"Babies…", Aiden was confused.

"Yes, you are having twins," the doctor replied.

Aiden and Sophia were surprised. First there was the unplanned pregnancy and there won't be just one but two additional members to their family.

"Pregnancy symptoms will be much more severe and it will be difficult for Sophia as there are two kids. I advise her to take care of her diet plan and not to ignore it if she feels slight pain and consult the doctor immediately," doctor gave a few more instructions.

As they came out from the doctor's office Sophia held Aiden's hand and asked, "Husband, do you want to have boys or girls?"

"Hmm... I'm fine with both, but after seeing those three brats I think Iprefer girls," Aiden answered.

The three brats he referred to were Tristan's son Travis and Dimitri's sons Lorenzo and Logan. They were a handful and never stayed in any one area. Destroying the whole place, breaking whatever things they found on the way and were always waiting to create trouble.

"I like both, it's good to have a boy and a girl," Sophia answered.

When Mr. and Mrs.Cooper learned about Sophia's pregnancy they were thrilled to find out that double happiness had knocked on their door. They quickly came to Aiden's house.

"My sister had twin girls and I was a little disappointed to have only one boy. I even dressed Aiden as a girl but when he started going to kindergarten his father forced me to stop as it may impact him," Mrs. Cooper wanted a large family but unfortunately she had some complications during Aiden's birth and she was not able to conceive again.

Aiden scowled whenever he listened to his mother talk about his childhood. Sophia laughed remembering the pictures Mrs. Cooper showed her. Aiden was too cute and cuddly and he could easily pose as a girl.

"You know Daisy always boasts that she has two grandsons but now I can also say that I am not behind," Mrs. Cooper proudly declared.

Whenever all the aristocratic heirs mothers met during their weekly gathering they were eager to show off. First it was their son's marriage, who married first or whose daughter in law was prettier and talented. Now it was who had a grandchild first or whose grandchild was more adorable.

"When the children are born I am going to dress them and take to my kitty party and…", Mrs. Cooper kept on rambling.

"Mom the babies are just a few weeks old and you are planning too much," Aiden interrupted her. Mrs. Cooper pouted angrily and her husband could not keep quiet, gave a cold glare at his son asking him to do whatever his mother wishes.

"Dear you were saying that you need to remind Sophia something?" Mr. Cooper said.

"Oh ya, I totally forgot. There is a midwife who helped me during Aiden's pregnancy. Even though she is old she is quite skilled and knowledgeable in herbal medicine. If you don't mind then she can come and take care of you for a few days," Mrs. Cooper was worried Sophia may face any trouble as carrying twins was not an easy job.

"Sure mom, I also have no idea what to do during this time," Sophia replied.

As days passed Sophia's stomach bulged largely. Even simple tasks like sitting or moving from one room to another required a lot of effort. She was always tired and slept at odd timings.

After four months she needed to take a break from work and handed all the company matters to Aiden. She used to feel nauseous and threw up everything, so her visits to hospital became more frequent.

Sophia was very moody and poor Aiden has no idea what will offend his wife. He had heard Tristan say tales about Ava's mood swings and he used to laugh at his friend's misery, but now he was in a much more difficult situation.Sophia was much worse than Ava, at least Ava whined and cried, then once her request was satisfied, she would be fine.

But Sophia had a terrible temper and whenever things didn't go according to her she used to start a cold war.

Sophia has to eat a balanced diet and when she saw that Aiden was eating spicy unhealthy food she would cry about how he can enjoy his food, when she was suffering. And just like that Aiden quickly changed his diet.

It was movie night and Aiden picked P.S I love you and when the male protagonist died Sophia started cursing and hitting his chest asking how he could pick such a tragic movie. It was one of her favorite movies, that's the reason he picked it.Never knowing that once she got pregnant her likes and dislikes will also change.

Sophia called Aiden and told him to bring ice cream while coming back home. Aiden got caramel brownie as it was a new flavor and currently very popular. But Sophia complained that mint is her favorite flavor and it's been only two years of marriage and he has already forgotten her favorites.

Aiden had enough of her unreasonable demands, he pulled her onto his lap.

"Leave me alone," Sophia tried to get up.

"You are not going anywhere without answering my questions today," Aiden tightened his hold on her.

"I'm heavy," there was a hesitation in her tone.

"No, sit and relax," Aiden commanded.

"What do you want to talk about?" Sophia put her arms around his neck.

"Do the babies trouble you too much? Look at those dark circles under your eyes, when was the last time you had a proper sleep?Why are you stressing so much?" Aiden traced her cheekbone.

"I want to eat, drink and sleep properly so that the babies are born healthy.But I am so tired and fatigued all the time that I forgot to do half the things the doctor instructed. I am scared that I may unintentionally harm the babies. I don't know whether I am doing the right thing," Sophia's eyes became wet.

This is the one thing she frequently did after she became pregnant, she easily cried all the time.

"Oh sunshine, you are being a wonderful mother to our kids.You don't need to stress as it will harm you and babies. Do you want me to take a few days off?" Aiden asked.

"But you are so busy working day and night," there was a hint of accusation in Sophia's tone.

Since Aiden was handling both his and Sophia's company, sometimes by the time he reached home she was already asleep and he had to go back to work before she woke up.

Not seeing Aiden constantly made Sophia feel insecure and vulnerable.

"Sophia I never knew this was troubling you. You just need to open your mouth to command me and I will be at your service. Got it," Aiden consoled her.

"Yes, stay with me all the time," Sophia said in between her sobs.

"As you wish, now stop being a crybaby", Aiden wiped her tears.

"Hmm hmm," Sophia hid her face in the crook of his neck and rubbed onto him trying to feel some warmth.
