Bewitched His Soul

The Santoris and Russo families were all gathered as soon as they learned Aurora was pregnant. They regretted that they were not there with Aurora during Enzo's birth and decided to give the best of everything this time to make up for their absence.

"Enzo, you are going to be a big brother soon, are you happy?" Gabriel asked.

"Big brother..," Enzo blinked his eyes innocently.

"Yes there is a baby in your mother's stomach " Gabriel replied.

"Did mom eat the baby?" Enzo was confused. Everyone burst out laughing hearing his question.

"No, god put the baby in your mother's stomach so that Enzo can have a playmate," Dimitri stated.

After thinking for a minute Enzo said firmly,"I want a brother."

"Why? I think a girl is equally as good. Aurora was so adorable when she was born," Nicholas stated.

"Uncle, girls like to play with dolls. I like cars and robots," Enzo voiced his concern.

"Hmm, that's a big problem. Uncle Tristan may have a baby boy and he can play with you. Let's pray we have a baby girl," Dimitri said, picking Enzo in his arms.

Dimitri sat beside Aurora with Enzo in his lap. Enzo slowly touched his mother's stomach and asked,"Mom when will the baby come out?"

"After nine months you can meet the baby," Aurora smiled.

"Aurora, come and stay with us for a few days," Nicholas offered.

Before Aurora could answer, Dimitri replied, "No, my wife is not going anywhere."

Now that Aurora is pregnant Dimitri was not ready to let her out of his sight. No one can care for his wife better than him.If she goes somewhere else in this state, he will lose mind thinking about her safety the whole time.

"I am taking her to my farm house. There will be less pollution there and it's good for her health," Nicholas stated.

He also wanted to look after his sister as well. He wanted to pamper and spoil her and bond with his nephew or niece. Plus, his parents were also more jovial when Aurora came home.

"I can take her to my lake house," Dimitri scoffed.

"Dimitri, are you trying to show off?" Nicholas gritted his teeth.

He felt that Dimitri was too possessive when it came to his sister. Her husband never leaves her alone, even when Aurora comes to the Russo family home. She was always instructed to return by nightfall and if by chance she would stay for the night, then her husband would stay with her.

He controlled her too much, and his decision was always final.But seeing all those rich men out there who cheated on their wives, Nicholas thought that it was better Dimitri only had eyes for his sister.

"It's been so long since we traveled anywhere. The lake house is big enough to hold both the families, so we can all go to the lake house for a few days," Daisy suggested, seeing neither family was ready to compromise.

"That's better," Nicholas replied.

"I have no problem," Dimitri added.

Aurora had completed her master's degree and since she was pregnant Dimitri had prohibited her from taking the night duty. So she took a few major cases and handed the rest to her team.

Aurora was in the study room, one of the junior doctors had called her regarding a surgery next week.She was checking the files and talking on phone,when Enzo came holding a glass of water.

Seeing his mother was busy,Enzo stood there patiently. After talking on the phone, Aurora took the glass and thanked him.

His father had told Enzo that they should take extra care of his mother and not make her tired.Pregnancy is a very tedious journey and everyone needs to cooperate so that the baby is born healthy.

Enzo used to throw a lot of tantrums, he would request Aurora to feed him or coax him to sleep. But now Enzo was very obedient, waking up without anyone's help, completing his homework punctually, and even helping his mother in small tasks just like bringing her water.

Even after Aurora took the glass Enzo was still standing here.

"Enzo what happened,come here," Aurora opened her arms. He put his hands around Aurora's neck and hugged her.

"What happened dear? Why are you so quiet?" Aurora asked, patting his back.

Enzo had a troubled expression but after a second asked,"Mom are you in pain?"

"No, why do you think so?" Aurora was caught off guard by his question.

"Your tummy is growing so big. Yesterday you could not climb the stairs," Enzo noticed as Aurora's belly started growing she was fatigued and could not easily move around.So he was worried thinking his mother is suffering.

Aurora understood his concern and smiled.

"The baby is growing quickly because it is eager to meet it's elder brother. Since I am not carrying myself alone, and there is another person in my tummy I move a little bit slower. But other than that there is nothing to worry about. Mom is not in pain. So Enzo should not worry," Aurora explained.

She did not want Enzo to get scared or when his younger sibling gets born let him think that the baby hurt his mother.

Children are very sensitive, if they form an opinion about something it deeply imprints on their mind. So it's better to clear his misunderstandings early.

"Okay," Enzo nodded, satisfied with her reasoning.

"Tomorrow is Sunday, I talked to Uncle Gabe and he will take you to Game Zone," Aurora said.

For a long time Enzo wanted to go the gaming center, unfortunately one thing or another comes up and everybody was always busy.

Aurora could see that her son was very disappointed, so yesterday she talked to Gabriel and fixed the date.

Enzo was enthusiastic upon hearing her news, and clapped his hands loudly. Whenever Enzo heard his friends say that they went to the gaming center, he envied them. Now he can also tell his friends about the amazing games he played.

"Mom, I love you," Enzo kissed his mother's cheek and ran in a hurry to find his uncle Gabe, so that he can ask at what time he should get ready tomorrow.
