Asher's POV
I wake up with a jolt when water splashes over my face. I look around to find Sienna, still on her bed laughing out loud. I notice the glass of water in her hand that she usually keeps on the bed side table, just in case she gets thirsty at midnight.
She sticks her tongue out at me and I smile. This was how we used to wake each other up. By disturbing them and by being an ass.
"Rise and Shine, sleepy head" Sienna even mimics the way I used to say to her when I disturb her sleep (Chapter 1 - Gamma's Daughter)
"I am up, early bird" I tell her as I stand up and wipe my face with my hands, and then run my fingers through my partially wet hair.
"What time is it?" I ask her with a yawn and glance at the clock to see it is seven in the morning.
"Good morning" I whisper, walking towards her to give a hug.
"You think I would hug you when you are wet like this? Hell no!" She scoffs and leans towards the opposite side of me.
"Oh really? Says who?" I ask her and the next thing I know, I am leaning over her and wiping droplets of water over her.
"Asher!! Asher stopp!" Sienna screams in between her laughs.
And eventually, I fell on the bed by her side. We both share another laugh as we just lay on bed, side by side.
"It feels great to know that we are still the same good best friends" Sienna whispers and I don't say anything.
"How are you now?" I ask her, turning towards her and she faces me.
"I am good and I can actually feel my body healing. Hayley is on her way, I guess" Sienna says with an excited smile and that makes me smile too.
I tell her that we shall meet for breakfast when Holly comes to the room, to help Sienna have a bath and get ready for the day.
I check on the babies who are still sleeping. I read somewhere that newborn babies spend almost eighteen hours a day just sleeping. But I wonder why Roger is not that way.
I take a quick shower and pick up a crisp white shirt and dark blue pants. I run my fingers through my hair a few more times before making my way downstairs.
Ivan is already waiting in the living room to give me updates of the day. I listen to my schedule as Ivan gives me updates on it. Sienna comes out of her room, in a wheelchair being pushed by Holly.
Ivan takes Sienna from there asking Holly to take care of the kids. Now it's just Sienna, Ivan and I in the living room. It feels nice to talk like this after everything we have been through.
"Breakfast is ready" mom yells from the dining table and Ivan stands up as well.
"I need to leave," he says.
"You can have breakfast with us," I shrug.
"And leave my mate and son behind? No thanks" he smiles and walks out.
"Is it only me or is it throwing you off too? Seeing Ivan this way" Sienna asks as I push her towards the dining table.
"Me too" I whisper.
Ivan was the one who always thought something was going on between Sienna and me. He never really believed when we said we were just best friends. He would always walk around suspecting us.
There were times we heard Ivan's voice only when he was telling us about our schedules or ordering Sienna about her duties. But now he is the glue sticking us together. Because of the past Sienna and I share, we would have definitely drifted apart if it was not for him.
"Pancakes. Smells heavenly" Sienna says as she serves herself a couple chocolate chip ones and a blueberry one.
"Alpha! There seems to be a little problem. I hope I am not disturbing your breakfast" Ivan comes with a document in his hand.
"No, it's alright" I say as I take the document from him.
"The donations made, the name of the donors..." he whispers and I look at that column in the last page and the very last line.
I signed below the donations column and wrote the donor's name as Sienna Asher. I forgot to put a comma between the names.
"This legit looks like I signed it as your wife" Sienna jokes but my heart just skips a beat.
But I maintain my posture as I add the comma, ask Sienna to sign as well and Ivan walks away again. When he turns around and looks at me, I think he was trying to make it clear that he still knows I have feelings for Sienna.
"What was that about?" Dad asks me.
"The school for supernaturals where the kids can learn in their own skin. I approved. We are sending all our kids there. Doesn't matter if it's an Alpha's child or the Omega's" I say, chewing a piece of blueberry pancake.
"That is great. Our daughters can be classmates and best friends" Sienna says and yet again, my heartbeat skips.
Our daughters.
Our daughters.
No she did not mean it that way but why can't I function properly? Are these any signs or am I overthinking?
"Asher!" Sienna calls me, bringing me back to the reality and I nod at her, gulping down the water.
"I can't believe we are parents. The two baby girls are the best and I am-"
That is it. I know this is all in my head but I cannot listen to anything and not think of it like Sienna and I are a couple. I excuse myself from the breakfast.
I run towards the clearing and I shift mid air, giving Dash my entire control. He howls as he runs and I can feel that he is reacting the same way as I am.
Did you ever meet your first love when you know you did not entirely move on? And you feel a spark but the other person doesn't even feel a thing? How would you feel?
Well, join the club.
