Bride Of Hades

Aurora nodded as each of them was introduced. 

"Dada, angry?" Enzo wrapped his arms around Dimitri's neck. He has never heard his father talk like this except to Uncle Gabe but Uncle Gabe always made him laugh. Maybe dada's friends are not so nice after all.

"It's okay baby, Dada is not mad. They haven't seen dada for a while, and they are very enthusiastic," Dimitri said as he rubbed Enzo's back and kissed his head.

The Aristocratic heirs were frozen for a moment, the coldhearted Dimitri Santoris had a softer side? They never knew he could be this gentle, but then again, Tristan and Blake had changed when they got married. So it was possible.

"Well, Iceman's heart had thawed out, and now he has a wife and a son," Aiden said, "this must be the real deal."

"Hmm..," the other three nodded.

"You guys stop it, you're making Aurora uncomfortable," Sara interjected, "Go and apologize to her."

"Sorry sister-in-law," the three heirs said together. Aurora gave them a small smile. They were a little intimidating with their questions, she hoped the women would be better. They sat on the couch comfortably as the men continued.

"Dimitri, I never expected you would betray me. What happened to the bachelor's oath? We were supposed to be together forever," Aiden complained.

"Get lost! I never promised you anything," Dimitri replied coolly.

"This is cheating. You beat us by having a son already. How is it that you have one when a few weeks ago you didn't even have a girlfriend?" Blake asked. 

Tristan and Blake always boasted that since they were the first 2 to get married, they had a great advantage among their group. 

"Baby, how about us. Let's go, so we can make our own baby," Blake whispered in Sara's ear mischievously.

"Hah! That's not why you want to go. You just love practicing having a kid. I don't think you are ready for one," Sara glared at him.

"That's true, so let's go practice," Blake smirked.

"Well, I don't think we need to have a kid so soon," Tristan said.

"Yeah because you're already raising one," Aiden teased. Tristan glared at him, and Ava pouted.

"Ignore him," Tristan said to Ava in a soft tone, "He's stupid, he doesn't know anything."

Aiden felt his eyes burning, he wanted to cry at his demise. All his friends were now married, and now they were competing to top Dimitri for having a son already. And he hasn't even found the woman for him. Not that he wasn't looking. It was just that every woman he met had never even stirred his feelings. 

"Hey champ, come here," Blake called. The kid looked very adorable and he wanted to get a closer look at him. Maybe make Sara agree to have one too. 

"Go…," Dimitri prompted Enzo, pushing him towards his uncles.

"Hello!" Enzo greeted them shyly. 

"What's your name?" Aiden pulled Enzo towards him.

"My name is Lorenzo. Dada and Mama's favorite baby," Enzo said.

"My god Dimitri how can your genes produce such a cute son?" Aiden asked cheerfully. Dimitri glared at him, but Aiden paid him no attention.

"I am Uncle Aiden, the most handsome Uncle you will have," he says as he winks at Enzo. And the kid just looks at him judgingly, like he does not want to take what Aiden was saying, just like Dimitri when he was calling "bullshit" on whatever he says. 

Aiden laughed out loud, "You kid just looks like you, he even has your mannerisms. Now I believe you are telling me the truth." 

"Lorenzo, come to Uncle Blake. Don't talk to Uncle Aiden, he's silly," he gestured for the kid to come to him. "Look babe, we can have a little one like him soon if we practice enough," he whispered to his wife, and she just pushed him away.

"Aww, look at him, he's wearing a bow tie, so cute," gushed Sara, "Come to Auntie, your Uncles are all naughty." Ava came to sit beside Sara so she could fawn over Lorenzo as well.

"You're so cute and chubby," Ava pulled on his cheeks, and he didn't mind, he just kept on smiling. He had never seen auntie's these beautiful before, and he liked the attention they were giving him. He really liked that they were nice to him.

He didn't feel that lonely anymore. Even if his mother worked a lot, he had people to play with all the time. He now has his grandparents, a funny uncle, and all these new aunts and uncles. 

"Come, little one, give Auntie a kiss," Sara pointed to her cheek, Enzo looked at his mommy shyly and she smiled and nodded at him to go and do it. 

Enzo grinned and kissed Sara's cheek, "Aww, so sweet."

"Hey, hey, hey... Why no kissy for me?" Ava pretended to be angry.

"Pretty Auntie, kiss kiss," he had his lips ready to kiss her too.

"Dimitri, it looks like your son is a lady's man. Is this how you really are? Have you been hiding this fact from us all along?" Aiden commented.

Dimitri shook his head and kept on running his hand up and down Aurora's arm. Just like the other married couple, he would rather spend more time with his wife. He was thinking how he would rather have Aurora naked, under him right now, than listening to Aiden sprout a bunch of nonsense.

Sara and Ava entertained Lorenzo while he relished the feel of her skin under his hand. If they were not here right now, he'd peel off her dress, run his hands down her back and kiss her… His thoughts got interrupted by the waiters coming with their dinner.

Enzo wanted to eat with Dimitri, but Aurora said it would be better if he sat with her, saying she wanted to spend more time with him, and Enzo agreed. He did not want his mother to be sad if he spent more time with his father, which he already did because they always had breakfast together in the mornings.

After eating, Enzo fell asleep on the couch, Dimitri had one of the waiters bring him a blanket to cover the child. Sara invited the women to go out onto the balcony to enjoy the cool night air as they looked over the city. It was a good time for them to get to know each other before it was time to go home.
