Chapter 49 {Protecting Mommy}
Victor took a deep breath before asking the question that had been on his mind.
"Do you guys… ever wish that your mommy would talk more about herself? About her past or how she got pregnant?"
The kids exchanged glances, each one of them seeming to understand what their uncle was asking without him having to say it outright.
"Mommy talks about it, to us but we don't share it with others."
Victor nodded, understanding that his sister had shared some things with her children. But he couldn't shake the feeling that there was still more to the story.
"And do you guys… ever wonder who your dad is?" He asked gently.
"We do but we have mommy," Raven said quietly and looked at the holographic screen which showed Victor who was sitting in his chair.
Victor's heart melted at the sight of his nieces and nephew looking so vulnerable yet fiercely protective of their mother.
He knew that they were right, that their mother was all they needed. But he also couldn't help but feel a sense of curiosity about the mystery surrounding their paternity.
"Well…" Victor said quietly
"Can I ask one more question?"
Victor took another deep breath before asking the question that had been on his mind for years.
"Do you guys… have any idea who your dad is?" He asked gently, trying not to sound too pushy.
"Nope! Mommy doesn't we don't care."
Victor nodded, trying to hide his disappointment.
He had hoped that maybe the kids might have some clue or hint about their father's identity.
But he knew better than to press the issue further.
"Alright," he said quietly
"I won't ask anymore questions."
The kids nodded, seeming to sense their uncle's disappointment.
Chloe looked at him with a sympathetic expression on her face.
"Don't worry, Uncle Victor," she said softly.
"We don't need to know who our dad is. We have mommy and that's all we need."
"Yeah plus we have each other." Raven added.
Victor smiled faintly, touched by the kids' loyalty and devotion to their mother.
He knew that they were right - they had each other and that was all that mattered.
"You guys are really something, you know that?" He said quietly.
"Yeah we will protect our mommy! Plus you have seen mommy she is like a goddess!"
Victor chuckled at the kids' description of their mother.
"Yeah, I suppose she is pretty amazing," he agreed.
"But you guys are also really special."
He leaned forward in his chair and looked directly into the holographic screen.
"I know your mommy doesn't like talking about her past but… promise me one thing."
The kids nodded, their eyes wide and serious.
"What is it?" Raven asked quietly.
Victor took a deep breath before speaking again.
"Promise me that if your mommy ever decides to open up about her past, or if she finds out who your father is…"
He paused for a moment, looking into the kids' eyes intently.
"Promise me that you'll be there for her. Support her and love her no matter what."
"We promise! We will always protect mommy."
Victor smiled faintly, feeling a sense of relief at the kids' promise.
He knew that they were fiercely protective of their mother and he trusted them to keep their word.
"Good," he said quietly.
"That's all I ask."
The kids smiled back at him through the holographic screen, feeling proud of themselves for keeping their promise.
Victor couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness knowing that his sister had gone through so much alone.
The next day it was around 8:00 p.m Isabella was on her zsenb computer as she typed on her computer she seemed to be writing something she then saw a reminder she has a call as a famous medial doctor she also has a another name Dr. Willow she took a deep breath and she tapped the screen which shut down.
"Chloe your two siblings are off with grandma Noel sweetie are you alright?" Isabella asked in a sweet tone as she touched her forehead. She was suppose to hang out with Noel today with her siblings but she ended up being sick. So she couldn't go and play.
Chloe looked up from the holographic game she was playing and nodded at her mother's question.
"I'm fine, Mommy," she said quietly.
"Just a little bored."
Isabella smiled faintly and sat down next to Chloe on the couch.
"Sorry I couldn't take you guys with me today," she said apologetically.
"I didn't want to get you sick too."
"Mommy is fine my little cheerful princess how about we go and eat?"
Isabella raised an eyebrow at her daughter's request.
"You want to wear your brother's clothes?" she asked, surprised.
Chloe nodded eagerly, her eyes wide with excitement.
"Please please please!" she begged.
"I want to look like my brother!"
Isabella chuckled at her daughter's enthusiasm.
"Alright, sweetie," she said, ruffling Chloe's hair affectionately.
"You can wear your brother's clothes this time."
Chloe cheered and ran off to find something of Atticus' to wear.
Isabella shook her head fondly as she watched her daughter disappear into the other room.
A few minutes later, Chloe emerged from the other room wearing a pair of Atticus' jeans and an oversized hoodie that swallowed her small frame.
She looked up at her mother with a huge grin on her face.
"How do I look?" she asked excitedly.
Isabella couldn't help but chuckle at the sight of her daughter dressed in Atticus' clothes.
"You look adorable," she said, reaching out to straighten the hoodie on Chloe's small frame.
"Just like your brother."
Inside the Space Empire Hotel they had a luxury restaurant with all kinds of fancy food.
The restaurant was opulent, with high ceilings, chandeliers hanging from above, and tables covered in crisp white tablecloths.
Waiters dressed in formal attire flitted around the room carrying trays of champagne and appetizers.
Chloe rushed to the dessert table her eyes sparked Isabella found a both she put in her Eze bud on and went on her video call the holographic screen.
Meanwhile Felix was inside his room his eyes narrowed he let out a sigh he hasn't seen that beautiful woman ever since that day but dad did keep his promise. Felix felt hungry and just wanted to eat some food from downstairs sure he eats five star meals every day but it gets to boring. As Felix walked out of his VIP hotel the guards followed him.
"Young Master if you are hungry we can buy you anything you want."
"I want pizza and I will grab it myself."
The guards exchanged a worried glance, knowing that the Young Master was known for his stubbornness.
"But Young Master," one of them protested. "You shouldn't be wandering around on your own. It's not safe."
Felix rolled his eyes at their concern.
"I can handle myself just fine," he said firmly.
"I'll be back soon."
The guards sighed, knowing there was no stopping him once he had made up his mind.
"Alright," the guard said reluctantly.
"But please be careful, Young Master. And don't take too long. We will be right behind you."
Felix walked down the stairs as he walked he looked around his dad is overprotective and he has to has af least twelve guards with him at all time it's annoying to the point it's infuriating. Felix took a deep breath he looked at the pizza and when he looked up he saw her. Isabella who was still on the call she grabbed her hot coco and she nodded her head. Felix walked over this time he didn't wear his mask nor did Isabella so her beauty was stunning. Isabella was wearing sweatpants and a hoodie her hair was in messy bun she also wore google glasses which had a screen on it she was typing quiet fast. Isabella notice her daughter well Isabella was unaware the boy in front of her wasn't her daughter.
"Princess are you alright?"
