Chapter 227 - Godfathers

"Don't be ridiculous," Santiago said, not at all getting embarrassed by it. "Look at her sucking so fast. She weighs 4 Kg. Quite heavy compared to her peers." 

"4Kg?" Persephone furrowed her brow. 

"8 pounds and almost 13 ounces." How could he forget that American weight standards were different from the rest of the world? 

"Is she healthy?" Persephone asked him. She was only worried about her child's health. 

Santiago nodded his head. His daughter was healthy and happy! 

"By the way, where is everyone?" Persephone inquired when she noticed how nobody came inside to meet her and the baby. She couldn't imagine her family calm and quiet at the arrival of Vitello Princess. 

"Everyone?" Santiago furrowed his brow. 

"Don't tell me..." Persephone looked at him shocked. 

"I forgot to inform them!" Santiago palmed his forehead. How could he forget telling everyone back at home that Persephone and he were blessed with a baby girl? 

"Santiago! How could you?!" Persephone looked at him, horrified.

"Let's not inform them for a while, please," Santiago pleaded. He didn't want anyone else to intrude on his family moments. These moments were precious and he didn't wish to share them with anyone. Happiness couldn't easily come to him and now that it had, he had no interest in sharing his very own happiness with anyone. 

"Visiting hours are over. They couldn't visit you anyway!" He stubbornly added. Softening his expression, he leaned over to kiss her forehead. This amazing woman had the energy to order him around even after pushing a baby out of her body. She was simply amazing! 

"At least inform them, "She softly said. 

"I will," Santiago murmured as he touched the baby's cheek gently. " But let me spend every moment with you both first! I don't want her to be away from my gaze." 

Persephone's expression softened. Her baby was very precious. She could understand Santiago's feelings way better than anyone. She felt the same rush of unfamiliar feelings as she glanced at her precious baby girl. 

Santiago opened his mouth to say something but before he could say anything, he heard his phone ring again. Way to ruin the tender atmosphere! 

Taking out the phone in frustration, he saw Callum's name flashing on the screen. 

"I'm standing outside to pick you up at the airport," Callum said as soon as the call connected. 

"I didn't come, Cal," Santiago told him tenderly looking at his girls. 

"What do you mean?" Callum stilled. Santiago was supposed to be here today.

"Persephone is in hospital," Santiago informed him before he could ask. 

"Is she alright?" Callum's voice grew worried. 

"We welcomed our baby a few hours ago," Santiago smiled. 

"Holy shit. I mean congratulations to both of you!" Callum was still in shock. What a day Santiago had! 

"Wait! I will Facetime with you now!" Callum said, now clearly excited. "I want to meet your son before those two rascals!"

Truth be told, Callum wanted to flaunt to Nash and Killian that he saw the baby first. Yeah, they had their fair share of childishness too. 

"Ah, there seems to be a hitch in the initial plan," Santiago said, looking at the angel in his wife's arm who was rubbing her mouth against her stomach now that she was full. 

"What?" Callum asked, strangely worried. 

"We have a daughter," Santiago said. 

Suddenly, Callum ended up bursting into laughter. "You are screwed, Vitello!" 

Callum started the face time and yelled when he saw Santiago's face. "Show me the princess now! I must see her first!" 

Santiago turned the camera toward the little Vitello who was blinking her big eyes at him and smiled at her. 

"Oh, God! How beautiful! Can I please steal her from you guys?" Callum's voice rang. 

"Don't even think about it!" Santiago sharply said. Steal from her? Don't even think about it! 

"Big bro! You have to prepare a huge present for your goddaughter!" Persephone's voice was weak but full of love. 

"Wait! Goddaughter?" When did this happen?!

"You don't want to? It's okay." Santiago said sarcastically. 

"Hey hey! Who said I don't want her as my Goddaughter." Callum immediately responded. He had heard that godparents were supposed to bring presents. "Lord, can I buy her a yacht? " 

Persephone groaned. These super-rich uncles! 

Wait, until the rest of the uncles join the conversation too! 

"Wait! Let me ask for suggestions," Callum added another two for Facetime. 

"Why the fuck are you facetiming Callum?" Nash groaned. He was having a very beautiful dream but his ringing phone had to spoil. 

Persephone immediately closed her baby's ears. Can't have her listen to crude words on her very first day. 

"No, swear!" She shouted at the newcomer. 

"Hey, did I just imagine Villain's Red's voice?" Nash asked himself, scratching his itchy head. 

"You aren't the only one," Killian grumbled, looking tired. Rubbing his eyes, he added, "Why am I seeing a newborn?" 

"Dear guys, meet my goddaughter. Vitello Princess." 

"Please tell me this is not what I am thinking?" Nash cried without tears. 

"This beautiful creature surely can't belong to Villain." Killian was fully awake now. "A villain can't possibly be given an angel?"

Santiago's lips twitched. "If you don't want to meet my daughter, you are free to go." 

"Why don't you cut the phone?" Nash reacted immediately, growling at Santiago. 

"Why should I?" Santiago cocked a brow. 

"Show off," Nash grumbled. But he melted when the baby yawned. "She is so beautiful. This is not fair! I want a wife and a baby too!" He took several screenshots of the baby through the video call. He was going to cry while looking at this perfect little family! Why must his darling torment him by not talking to him?! 

"Prepare a gift for your goddaughter. Don't embarrass me." Santiago disconnected the phone after saying that. 

"They must pay tax for looking at you, Rockstar," Santiago said and the baby smiled at him.
