Flash Marriage: Shrewd Wife, Devious Husband
Chapter 226: Possessiveness

Chapter 226: Possessiveness

Tony came back late after the victory celebrations directly to the hospital. He checked on Joey with Randy knowing Marcella would ask for him. Joey was sleeping rather peacefully.

They had an amazing son who was angelic and understanding.

Tony had to sneak into Marcella’s room as the nurses were hovering around stopping any visitors. He was not a visitor but the husband. The nurses insisted that only one attender can be with the patient. Since Mary was with Marcella, he was not allowed in.

He found a way in.

The attender’s couch was empty and he saw Mary dozing off sitting on the stool beside Marcella. His lips curved up. Marcella had the quality to attract loyal people who loved her.

He walked to the bed to see Marcella on her back. She was sleeping deeply. She had worked very hard today and she deserved some rest. Tony covered her with the blanket and her lips curved up unconsciously. He loved seeing the smile on her face. He wanted to kiss her but he didn’t want to disturb her sleep.

He walked to the bassinet to have a look at the baby. He held the baby only once before. Standing beside the cot, he stared at the baby. He was sleeping and when he tried to touch his face, he flinched and with his lips pouting, started to stretch. There was that dreaded popping sound from under and Tony frowned knowing what followed.

Diaper change!

The baby’s face contorted and his lips trembled without him opening his eyes. Tony hurriedly picked him up and hugged him.

"Shh... I’ll do anything you want if you do not scream right now," Tony spoke softly. He wanted the sleeping ladies to have a little more rest. He could handle a sleepless night or two.

The baby was silent and looked at him with his big watery eyes just until he changed the diaper. Just as Tony picked him up to lull him back to sleep, he started screaming as if he had been thrown into an active volcano.

"Tony..."

Marcella woke up. Her eyes were still groggy and red with sleep. Mary too woke up. Seeing Tony, she tried to stand up but Tony asked her to stay.

"He must be hungry," Marcella whispered. She then gestured for him to bring the baby to her. Tony held the wriggling baby close to his chest and gave the baby to her.

Immediately, as if he had stopped hurting, the baby stopped crying. Tony was stunned and wondered if he held the baby wrongly and he cried because he was uncomfortable. But again, his wife was right. He saw the baby leaning closer to her chest and with his eyes closed and hands fisted, searched for something.

Marcella helped him find what the baby was looking for. Like a good little boy, he started suckling on her breast. He even made some content noise as his belly got filled.

With his lips pursed, Tony stared at Marcella. "What?" she asked.

Tony watched Mary walk to the bathroom.

"But that’s mine," Tony pointed at Marcella’s chest. His tone was filled with disappointment and possessiveness. He sounded like he was wronged.

Marcella giggled softly. But then her lower body hurt too much and she didn’t try anymore. She just shook her head in disappointment.

He meant it when he said he loved my boobs!

"But this is the intended purpose of this..." Marcella looked at her breasts.

Having the baby on her chest invoked such a pleasant feeling to her and lifted her spirit. Her tiredness flew away seeing the little baby they made, leaning on her and depending on her. His nearness created an influx of strong bonding feelings in her.

Tony wanted to say something to refute her. If the intended purpose of her boobs was to feed the baby, then why was he attracted to it? The intended purpose is to seduce a mate.

He wanted to argue with her with his "valid" points, but seeing the novel expression on her face, he paused and observed her.

He thought she was glowing when she was pregnant, but in that dim light, she was glowing like the moon then. He had seen such an expression on her face when she took care of Joey, but this time, she outshone those times.

Wow! She is a mother!

Tony thought.

And I am a father!

It was the second time he realized that. He didn’t know whether all parents felt this way with their second child or he was the only person. He even felt a little guilty about it.

But it was fine. He need not feel guilty to be happy to have his own son. He would love them both the same.

"How did it go?" Marcella asked.

"Everyone’s happy. I am double happy," Tony smiled.

"Shouldn’t you write a speech or something?" Marcella asked. Shouldn’t he give a victory speech about his plans for the future?

"I should write a press release, actually. I need to finish it before two in the morning before the papers go to print," Tony said calmly.

He had already thought of a gist. He was not worried. He was used to writing speeches and press releases anyway.

Marcella raised her brows with worry. "Then get to it. Will you be able to sleep? Go home and prepare your~"

"I’ll stay here," Tony said. He was calm.

"But where will you sleep? It’d be very uncomfortable here. Go have some rest, Tony." She was worried for him.

Tony shook his head in the negative. What was he going to do at home without his wife there? Their home would be more uncomfortable for him tonight.

Marcella didn’t have the energy to be concerned for him. She was too tired. Tony noticed Marcella falling asleep while the baby was nursing. He had to wake her up until the baby had his fill.

Mary offered to take care of the baby but Tony insisted. He asked Mary to rest on the couch and proceeded to burp the baby. The baby needed another diaper change and after that, he felt the need to feed again.

After struggling for some time, the baby finally fell asleep. Tony placed the baby back found his station on the stool and wrote his column.

He had gathered people he trusted with him. The higher-ups in the party called him. Harley was surprised he won. They all invited him to Washington D.C. No one even tried to understand him when he said that his wife just had a baby.

Maybe it was not the norm of society for the father to stay and take care of the baby, but he wanted to. Why was he getting mocked for it?

Tony didn’t want to give into pressure. He told them that he would meet them only after his wife got discharged from the hospital. He knew they would talk behind his back calling him names, but he didn’t care.

He wanted to stand by his wife and be her support when she gave him that much happiness.
