I should be your Beta, not your Mate

46 - Hanny

»Elias Kyran Ramsay. His second name stands for his godfather.«

Surprised, my eyes widened.

It was already a great honor for me that I could be Elias' godfather but that he now even got my name as his second name registered - it honored me even more.

Let me feel like I was a real part of their family and meant something.

May stroked the soft cheek of her new-born and smiled with the same softness on her lips at me. It made my heart skip a beat and warm up like a fire was lit.

»I will write that name down for you. Doctor Ramsay, I should inform you that there is a little patient that you treat from time to time and won't let other doctors get near her. Of course, you want to stay with your family. Doctor Hue just told me, I should inform you and that you should care for the little patient if you have the time. You know the little bonehead.«

Maxim tousled his hair, sighing heavily while closing his eyes.

»Dear, you're probably tired. Our three children will look after Elias for the time being you take a nap and I will take care of Hanna.«

Although you could obviously see that May didn't like that Maxim wanted to go work, she nodded, allowing him to go because she knew that Hanna wouldn't let someone else close to her – except me.

And I took the chance and stepped in.

»Pa, you stay with Ma. She needs you near her more than Hanna. I know that little troublemaker and can take care of her too. I even believe I treated her more than you. And doctor Hue and the other doctors and the staff know that I do a good job and are trustworthy.«

Uncertain Maxim looked between May and me before he nodded.

»You're right and thank you. But call someone if something happens or you notice something.«

Smiling, I waved that it was nothing and followed the nurse out of the room – Cassian followed me like a lost puppy.

I actually wanted to stay with Elia and the others too but it was better that I went instead of Maxim. He was the father of his finally blood related third child – I of course was his true third child, well from the age of the second child but still.

Nobody could demand that he works today.

»She is in treatment room four,« the nurse informed me and then walked away.

»And what are you doing now?« Cas asked me when I steered towards the named room.

»Treating Hanna,« I answered with a low smirk.

Before we entered the room, we disinfected our hand and then I saw the red-haired girl that had her hair braided into two pigtails and sat on the lounger. The face full of freckles and covered with dirt and dried blood.

»Na, what drives our little rebel back here again?« I asked and immediately her head hopped up and she beamed broadly at me.

»Brother Kyran!« she yelled happily and literally shone like the sun all over her face. With her wide, wild grin her hamster cheeks formed and made her look even cuter.

»What problem do we have today?«

Lazily, I let myself drop down on the lounger next to her and grinned downwards. Already checking her body for injuries because of all the blood.

Almost proud she lifted her arm up and presented a giant and deep cut that went along her complete lower arm. I wanted to curse but suppressed it.

»Aye, what did you do?«
