VERDICT OF LOVE

Chapter 27

Shiloh Pov:

I yawn tired" sleep now baby, Mummy needs to take a nap" I croon softly while rubbing his chubby cheeks.

He replies with a yawn blinking his eyes making him look so adorable.

I sigh tiredly once again feeling the need to close my eyes for just a few minutes but my adorable baby won't allow his mommy because he keeps crying every time I try putting him in his crib not even letting Chole hold him for a second.

"He just loves staying in his Mum's hands," Chole says sitting on a sofa while flipping through a magazine on her lap" and you got to admit it's cute" she chuckled.

"Yeah, he got his cuteness from his Mum" I smirk proudly before placing a tender kiss on his forehead gaining a cooing noise from him.

I rest my head in the headboard with my hand wrapped around the baby while listening to the soft music playing from my phone with my eyes closed humming.

I open my eyes from hearing the sound of the door opening" hey" I say with a bright smile before moving myself into a sitting position with the help of Garrett.

"How are you feeling now? " he asks with a smile.

"Great, thanks for the birthday gift," I say grinning wildly focusing my attention on my sweetheart standing beside Garrett's eyes flicking between me and the baby looking confused" ain't you gonna tell your aunty hi ?" I ask with a raised eyebrow.

Garrett pick him up sitting him beside me on the bed before taking a seat on the chair beside me " Hi aunty Shiloh" he says with a wide grin before taking the baby's hand with an intense stare" aunty Shiloh is this your baby"

"Yes, this is your baby cousin," I say with a smile watching him play with the baby's fingers.

"Cool. He also uncle Chance baby?" He asks with excitement sparkling in his eyes.

I stare at him conflicted finding the right answer to his curious question " Um... No, he is a mama's boy" I ruffle his hair gaining a protest from him.

"Edward let your aunty rest from all your questions" Garrett scolds before taking the baby from me.

"I too want to carry him" Edwards whines tugging on his father's shirt.

Garrett sigh holding the baby with one hand before placing Edward on the other.

Chole excuse herself leaving us to talk for a few minutes watching Edward make silly faces at the baby and also talking until it was time for them to leave " you have two visitors waiting outside to see you " Garrett says ending his call.

"Visitors?" I ask confused looking towards the door.

"Yeah," he says holding Edwards hands before patting my shoulders and placing a kiss on the baby's forehead" you just have to please listen to them"

I nod still confused" okay Edward kiss your aunty goodbye" Edward kisses me goodbye before leaving with his Dad.

"Take it slowly, don't force it" I hear him say to someone behind the door before letting them in.

Out of instinct, I wrap my hand tightly around the sleeping baby in my arms bringing him closer to my chest while my emotion floods with unwanted feelings from just seeing Mum and Sylvia standing in front of me with guilt, remorse, and bemoan writing all over their countenances.

Or are my eyes playing tricks on me?

"What are you doing here," I say
tremulously feeling frightened of what might be their motives " please leave" I say my body shivering with fear.
