Ever since Cyrus accepted his position on his father's party he has been busier so Aria is basking on the attention now.

"I know baby but I wanna do this for you." Cyrus replied while assisting his mate to sit on the chair right in front of the doctor's desk.

 The doctor knows it's not Aria’s first time carrying a child but she still briefs them about things they have to do and not to do during the whole period of pregnancy.

"Sex is not prohibited but..you have to be more gentle now." The doctor ended the briefing with a teasing smile that made the fated mate blush hard at the same time.

"Thank you so much doctor." Cyrus the first one to stand up and thank the beta doctor before he assisted his mate out of the clinic.

Aria and Felicia are both amazed when they see that unlike when they arrived at the clinic, the street is now clear of press and media. 

The two didn't have to ask to know that Cyrus surely is the one behind that since they know that the pure blood alpha is really protective over his family after the things they all went through in the past three years.

This time, Felicia went back to the car alone because Aria went to Cyrus' car. 

The fated mates decided to pick up their daughter at Knight penthouse before they finally go home.

*

The moment Aria and Cyrus arrive at Knight’s place, their daughter automatically runs towards them.

 "Daddy! Mama!" She screams upon throwing herself on Aria but Cyrus is so quick to catch her because his pure blood alpha instinct is kicking in. 

He doesn't want any harm near his pregnant mate and Kiana jumping on her mother is considered dangerous according to his inner wolf.

"Oh moon! Cyrus! What do you think you are doing?" Aria asked when she noticed that too. 

The pure blood alpha even blocked her way when she was about to give Justin and Knight a hug as greetings because well, that's a family tradition now.

"Nothing baby, I just don't want you to get hurt and---"

"Hurt? Who's gonna hurt her? yah! just in case you're having partial amnesia but you're inside my house brother and no one's gonna hurt my family inside my own house." Knight immediately reacted upon hearing his brother's words.

Cyrus feels a little guilty because he knows Knight is right. His older brother would literally die for him and his family and he has proven that already.

"I'm sorry Ni.. I didn't mean to say that." Cyrus apologizes.

"Wait, is there something going on? Why are you even here when we already asked to borrow Kiana for today and it's not even lunch time yet?" Justin joins their conversation.

Cyrus and Aria suddenly gave each other a knowing look before the pure blood alpha moved closer to his mate so he could pull Aria to his side.

"Something actually happened..uhmmm, there will be lots of changes and I would be needing your help to explain it to dad." Cyrus  said with a serious tone. 

The pure blood alpha knows the decision he has made at that moment will affect his and his whole family's lives but he is now sure of what he wants in life.

"You're not pranking us, are you? because i swear to Luna Cyrus if you--" "I'm backing out of my candidacy."

SILENCE

There's only silence in the whole room after Cyrus declared his perfect plan. 

Aria didn't even know her mate was thinking about that because she saw how much Cyrus had been working hard for the past three months. 

Justin and Knight look at each other, not knowing what to say or do until Kiana suddenly squishes her father's face.

"Daddy backing out? Are we suwwendewing fwom bad pweople?" she asked, her eyes full of innocence.

Cyrus looks at his mate first before he looks back at the little girl who managed to break the silence first. 

The pure blood alpha gently put down his daughter on the floor first before he kneels down in front of her. 

Knight took her tiny hands before he spoke.

"No baby. Daddy will never surrender against bad people. We will still continue to help the weak and the poor but daddy thinks uncle Dylan will do the job better because daddy will be helping Mama raise you and your baby brother or baby sister my princess." Cyrus tried his best to explain the situation to his daughter even when he knew Kiana wouldn't understand.

The other adults in the living room were all shocked with his revelation. 

Justin and Knight’s eyes automatically landed on Aria’s tummy as if they would confirm what Cyrus just said by simply looking at her.

"I will be a big sister soon daddy?" Kiana asked when she realized what her father just said.

"Yes baby, there's a pup inside your Mama’s tummy now." He confirms as he pointed at his mate who's now teary eyed again while watching their daughter's eyes widened in excitement.

 "Mama!! Kiki will be a big sister soon?" The little girl runs toward her mother so Aria immediately knees so she can hug her daughter.

"Yes princess, you'll become a big sister soon" Aria replied with the happiest smile she could ever muster.

Knight and Justin finally start to playfully punch Cyrus when they both realize what's going on.

"Oh gosh, you both are really so fast. Congratulations Cy! I'm sure dad and mom will be thrilled with this news brother. Don't even worry about the candidacy. You know our parents will always choose our well being and happiness over those matters." Knight says before pulling his brother into a tight hug.

"Thanks! I'm really just happy and I think the three years we wasted in the past is more than enough. I don't want to leave my family ever again."Cyrus replied to his brother before he went back to carry Kiana so Aria wouldn't need to kneel on the floor.

Justin and Knight congratulated the expecting parents again before they playfully told them that they're always free to take care of Kiana if they need more time to themselves. 

The mates thanked the two older alphas before they finally left to go home.

The moment Cyrus’s little family left his brother's penthouse, Knight and Justin looked at each other with amazed eyes.

"Your brother is braver than the marines! Oh gosh, I can't believe he's really going to throw away the life waiting for him." Justin said as he sit down on the couch.

"Yeah, he's going to throw away the life waiting for him so he could live the life he deserves. I guess I'm the proudest brother right now. I'm sure dad would be thrilled to know that no one between his two sons would like to be part of politics anymore. I'm just happy that Cyrus is considering pushing Dylan to take his position. I'm sure He will be the best candidate, he's a decent person." Knight said while thinking how Dylan protected the truth behind his brother when Mr. Carter was still alive.

Justin nods at his boyfriend.

THREE YEARS LATER

"Rina! Oh moon, Cyrus please can you call her! Kiana won't be happy seeing her sister ruining her party this year when she already destroyed her cake last year!" Aria’s eyes are full of pure horror when she sees their almost 3 year old running around the table where the cake and sweets for Kiana’s birthday is.

Their daughter is now celebrating her 6th birthday and Rina, their youngest pup is turning 3 years old soon too. 

Cyrus looks at his mate lovingly before he runs towards their daughter because he doesn't want to stress Aria out right before Kiana’s party.

The pure blood alpha was about to pick up his daughter from the ground when Kiana stops him.

"I got her dad! I heard Mama complaining to Nana Felicia, she said her back is aching again. I guess my baby brother wants to come out soon." she said while pointing at her mother who was now sitting under the giant balloon arch they set up to welcome the guests.

Cyrus looked at his daughter and gently ruffled her hair.

"Thanks princess, please look after your sister then and I'll go check on your mother." Cyrus says before planting a kiss both on his mischievous and smart daughters.

Kiana watches as her father approaches their mother lovingly before she finally grabs her sister’s tiny hands and leads him to the inflatable couch under the tree in their garden. 

She's very happy to celebrate her 6th birthday with her favorite mermaid theme. 

Her parents set up an abundant food buffet in their garden beside their pool. She invited a few of her classmates in school but mostly, their visitors are their own family.

"Kiki, wook! wook! bwuttewfwy!" Rina screams upon seeing a butterfly that was flying around them.

Kiana smiled at her sister lovingly. She loves him so much and after their parents told her the story behind her name, she adores her even more.

"Rin! hey, do you want sis to tell you the story behind your name?" she asked her, and since the little girl loves stories it immediately caught her attention. The little girl runs back towards her sister and sits beside her like a little good girl that she is.

"Rin wavs stowwy!" the little girl said with her wide round eyes. Kiana smiles fondly at her before she takes her hand in her own.

"Okay, listen carefully to sisokay? So once upon a time mama and Daddy were both very very sad because an evil wizard tried to keep them apart. The bad wizard did a lot of bad things to make sure mama won't see daddy again." Kiana starts her story.

 "Bad Kiki .. bad wishawd!" She pouts.

"Yes Rin...this wizard made another bad wizard. He made sure to hide their hearts so they won't be able to feel, but one of the wizards secretly found her heart again when she met mama. So without the evil wizard knowing, this other wizard starts to help mama and daddy to get back together." Kiana retold the story her mother told her when she was younger. 

The little girl can't help but feel a little tug in her heart when she remembers the face in her mind. 

She doesn't even know why but she always imagines the beautiful face  whenever she recalls the story of the angel her mother told her about before.

"Kiki next?" the little girl asked when Kiana stopped talking.

"Oh, yeah..so the little wizard started to help Mama and Daddy so the evil wizard got very very mad. He summoned his bad spirit to hurt Mama again...and then..." Kiana paused again, she couldn't help but feel emotional on that part of the story.

"And then?" Rina asked again, the little girl is starting to get annoyed with her sister because she keeps pausing.

"And then the evil wizard casted her dark powers on mama and daddy."

"Noooo, Kiki noooo! Mama and dwaddy okay!" Rina suddenly starts to cry. 

In her innocent mind, she’s already scared to think about their parents being hurt but Kiana is quick to pacify her.

"Sssssh, it's okay Rin..mama and daddy are safe. They were saved by the little wizard. She...she blocked the evil wizard's power." Kiana said while wiping Rina’s tears but the younger pup just keeps crying after the revelation.

"Kiki bad wishawd!" the little girl said again while burying her face in his sister's neck.

Kiana hugs her sister tighter this time.

 "It's okay Rin...the little Wizard saved Mama and daddy...and she..she became an angel after that." Kiana said, ending the story with a sad smile.

"Angwel?" the little child asked as she pulled away from her sister. 

"Yes baby.. and do you know what the angel's name is?"

"What's angwel's name Kiki?

"Rina...the angel who saved Mama and Kiki from the evil wizard is called Rina, just like your beautiful name Rin." Kiana said with a proud smile. 

The little girl smiled back at her sister as she squished her face this time as if she understood everything.

Little did the two little children know, their parents were watching them from afar.

 Aria couldn’t stop crying while listening to their daughter's story as she leaned closer to her mate. 

The pure blood alpha pulled his mate closer. He knows that pregnant omegas are very emotional and knowing that Aria about to give birth to their third child he understands where the tears are coming from.

"Sssshh, baby stop crying. Our guests will be arriving soon and I don't want Knight and the Prime Minister calling me out again for making you cry." Cyrus said while wiping his mate's tears.

Aria smiled at her husband.

"Cyrus...do you think Rina is really up there watching over us? Do you think she knows I kept my promise to her?" Aria asked with a low voice not wanting anyone to hear her because she didn’t want to be called drama queen again.

 Cyrus pulled his mate closer and l wrapped his arms around her very round tummy.

"She is beyond proud of you Ari. You literally made her an angel to our pups my darling. I'm sure wherever she is now, she is beyond happy and celebrating with her mom. Cheer up now love, we have a mermaid party to host. And as much as I want you to be Poseidon today, with this little alpha inside you, I guess I'll take the role." Cyrus said before bending closer to kiss his mate's stomach.

Aria almost melted right at that moment when Cyrus did the gesture.

 In the last three years that they found their way back into each other's arms, Cyrus never failed to make her feel so loved and special. 

He left his career as a politician to become a senior partner of the D&C  Law firm so he could spend more time with them. 

She remembers when she just gave birth to their youngest pup, Cyrus was there making sure she got enough sleep. 

 The pure blood alpha made it his mission to make sure their pup was safe and dry every night by constantly changing her diapers too.

 The pure blood alpha really made up for all the years that they were apart and at that moment AriA knows she won't ask for anything anymore.

She also dropped her job as a producer because she wants to be the one raising their children. 

With the fortune left to her by her parents, they could live in luxury so she's not bothered when he left the recording company of her friend Travis.

Aria and Cyrus were still in that position when the pure blood alpha's family arrived with the Prime Minister. Dylan, who became one of the most powerful men in the country, became a family to them too since Mr. Ashbourne  became one of his legal advisors.

Knight and Dylan gave each other a fond and proud smile upon seeing Cyrus hugging his mate from behind while the fated mates are watching their pup playing in the garden.

"He really made the right decision huh? Look at him not caring about anything else in the world now." Dylan said while watching Cyrus planting soft kisses on his pregnant mate's temple.

"You know, they said  Von Dorn’s are the chosen family by the moon. Their bloodline will always prosper in every career they choose to take. I guess, my brother is really blessed to have Aria in his life because I've never seen anyone as content and happy as they are." Knight replied before he yelled at the fated mate to announce their arrival.

Aria and Cyrus beams the moment they see their family entering their house. The pure blood alpha hugged each one of them while Aria did the same right after them. 

At that moment, while seeing everyone with smiles on their faces, Aria and Cyrus knew that this is the life they both want not only for them but also for their children.

They don't need the fame, the power and the things the world could offer them, because having the family and friends that truly cares about them is more than enough for them to live the happy life they wish to have from the very start.

When everyone is settled on their seats, Aria pulls his omega mate closer to him again. "I love you baby." he whispered in her ears.

Aria looks up and sees those beautiful brown eyes staring lovingly back at her, and in that moment she knows, she finally found her happily ever after.

"I love you too Cyrus..thank you for giving me this wonderful family I thought I could never have." Aria replied.

"Always baby.. I'll give you the world if I could."

"You already gave it to me, you and our pups are now my world."

 THE END
