Chapter 10

STORM

After the incident at work, Storm went home, she took a shower and took a nap. For some reason every time she saw her PA Lee, he reminded her of someone. He seemed familiar but she had no idea where she had seen him before, maybe they had met while she was in China. Then again, she was focused on finishing her PhD then so she did not pay much attention to the people around her. She had always wondered how the guy she had saved was doing. She had never asked for his name, she only knew that he was the heir of a very powerful family. Storm had never been interested in gossip so she never bothered to find out who he was after she saved him.

Aelle snuggled closer to her which brought her out of her thoughts, she had woken up an hour ago when the girl had decided to join her in her nap. A small smile made it's way on Storm's lips, she kissed her red hair lovingly before getting out of bed. She was only in boxers and her sport bra, Grayson was up and hungry. Surprisingly, Tristan was asleep.

"Hey, little Gray," she cooed as she picked him up. "You three are growing up fast, hmm?" She talked to the babbling baby softly while changing him.

It was always relaxing for her to take care of the boys. She loved them to bits, she could not describe it in words. Grayson smiled as if he knew what she was thinking,"You three and your mom are my world, you know. I love the four of you so much but I'm scared, Grayson. I'm terrified that you three would grow up and ask for a dad, I can give you anything but I can't be a father to you. You all need a father figure, when you start school, other kids will be having one and I don't want you three to miss a father." Grayson whined as he sensed her sadness.

Storm sighed while she fed him," I know you love me, little Gray. Your mom does too but we all need a man to love us. Someone to take care of all of us and who can be a father to the three of you. Maybe someone will come just as you and your mother came into my life. But even if he doesn't, it's ok, we'll figure a way on our own. As long as I have all of you, I will be ok."

As she talked, she did not realize that Aelle was right by the door listening to her. She couldn't help but wonder if Storm was saying all that because of her. She silently left the room, Storm put Grayson back to sleep after burping him. She kissed the triplets on the forehead and turned to leave only to be stopped by a cry. She turned to find Christian awake, she smiled and picked him up. She changed him and fed him too, Tristan had woken up half an hour ago and was taken care of by the nanny so he was good.

Christian slept a while later and she put him down too. Then she left the room, when she did not find Aelle on the bed, Storm decided to get dressed and went looking for her. She found the girl in the kitchen chatting with Travis, Storm went over and kissed her head lovingly.

"Hey, little moon." She whispered.

Aelle smiled at her,"Hi. Are you ok? You looked angry when you came back from work."

Storm frowned at that, she did not want Aelle worrying about her," I'm fine, Red. My father came to the office to demand that I marry Fallon and give up my company to my brothers."

Travis stopped what he was doing and looked at her in shock, " The hell is wrong with your parents?" He snarled.

Storm shrugged," I don't know but I don't care. They are not my parents anymore."

" You disowned them? Is it because of me? "Aelle mumbled softly.

Travis kissed her head," Peaches, this has nothing to do with you. Storm had decided to disown her family since she turned 18. It was difficult but she had put the application long ago." He explained.

Storm gave her a nod, Aelle felt relieved, she was already worried about what Storm said earlier. The older could see that something was bothering Aelle but could not figure out what it was that was bothering her. She decided to let it go for the time being, they helped Travis with dinner. Storm was silent the whole time while Aelle chatted away with Travis and the other helpers. Storm was content watching them, when the babies were brought down after they woke up, Storm and Aelle spent time with them.

Tristan was being his naughty self, Grayson joining him some time while Christian kept to himself. He only made a fuss when Storm made a move to put him down. Storm frowned, he was usually calm and not clingy but for some reason, he wanted to stay with Storm a lot.

Not that she minded at all, they ate dinner together with Travis then put the babies to bed and went to sleep."Storm." Aelle called quietly as they laid in bed.

"Hmm?"

"Do you think there is a man out there who will want me?"

Storm tensed, she looked into the girl's eyes," Aelle, anyone who doesn't love you is a fool. Little moon, you're gorgeous, kind and the best mom I've ever seen, what's there that's not to like about you?"

Aelle looked down so Storm lifted her face up by her chin," A Queen should never bow down." The older said and Aelle blushed," Now tell me what made you ask such a question?"

The girl bit her lip nervously," I went to check on the babies after I got up from my nap earlier and I heard you talking to Grayson. I was so lost in enjoying being with you that I did not realize that something was missing. It wasn't until I heard you say we need a man in our lives that I realized we were missing something. I want our boys to have all the love they deserve and for them to have a father too. I'm happy with you, the babies are too and if we don't find a man who can love both of us then I'm ok with that too. Dad is there, he can be a father to the boys."

Storm kissed her forehead lovingly," I found you even when I thought I can never find love so I believe if there is a man for us out there then fate will bring him to us."

For some reason, her mind wondered over to her PA and the way he stood up for her. Storm had never thought that she needed a man in her life or love for that matter. She did not think she deserved it however, after the incident at work, she realized that she may be able to protect Aelle and the babies but she took needed someone to protect her. Someone to fight for her, she needed help to look after Aelle and the babies. If she carried on doing things by herself then soon she'll lose herself and then her little family might lose her.

She was cut off her thoughts when Aelle kissed her lips softly," We'll figure it all out, as long as we have each other."
