She's My Sleeping Pill-Chapter 814 - 814 HOW TO BE A FATHER? I
814 HOW TO BE A FATHER? I
The next day, Cayenne posted the video in her YT account and her brothers shared it as well. Not just them, those who have social media accounts shared her vlog and not long after, thousands of people were watching it already.
“Congratulation! ??” 𝙛𝐫e𝚎wℯ𝗯𝒏𝗼ѵ𝙚l.𝒄o𝚖
“Triplets?! Aren’t you blessed ??”
“I pray that the third child will be a girl. It would be great if they will also have a princess.”
“No wonder the boss looks exhausted. His wife is carrying two boys. ??”
“Cayenne is blooming so, she must have a girl inside her.” Then this comment got Stefan’s attention while he was reading them. His eyebrow instantly rose and a smirk appeared on his face. [Of course she’s blooming. I choose to carry the burden of pregnancy for her. My wife can’t be exhausted because of the children.] Just as he thought of this, he also typed the words and posted it.
The next few hours, Stefan’s reply was liked by many and the commenter who received his reply took a screenshot of his words and posted it.
“I was only admiring his wife and now the husband is flaunting his love. Where’s the justice?!”
These earned thousands of laughing emoji from many people across the world and Cayenne was one of them. She didn’t expect that Stefan would reply to the comments randomly and even show off his affection for his wife.
.....
After that day, Cayenne received so many gifts from her supporters. They sent them directly to her office since her address was never shown in public. Only selected people knew where she and Stefan live along with their bodyguards and helpers but they never tell this to anyone.
“We’re having this theme for the children’s room.” Stefan told Solomon during their video call. “Cayenne wanted a neutral design since there is a high chance that we’d have a baby girl as well.”
“Then, are we going to make three separate cribs for them or just a single large cot?”
“One should be fine. It’s a hassle to make three and it will take a lot of space, too.”
Solomon chuckled when he saw his friend’s expression on the other side of the screen. Surely, he wasn’t that enthusiastic in making things for his children compared to making things for his wife.
“You look unhappy even though your prayer has been answered.” Solomon commented which made Stefan sigh. “What’s the issue now?”
Stefan took a deep breath and picked up a book that he had been reading in the past few days. It was all about raising a child. “I don’t know how to raise children. Nobody raised me properly so, I don’t know how to be a proper father. What if I mess up? My wife will kill me!”
“So, it all boils down to your wife again.”
“Of course.” Stefan answered with no hesitation. “I don’t want to stress her out with the children so, I want to help as much as I could in the future.”
“You said it.” Solomon retorted and grinned helplessly. “It will happen in the future. Your wife is still 5 months pregnant. You still have a long time to learn. You don’t have to rush things. Also, you are great in taking care of your wife.”
“So?”
“I’m sure you’ll be great in taking care of your children. If it eases your mind, you can ask someone who has a child and let them teach you about raising your baby.”
“Travis won’t allow me to practice with Raizel.”
“It doesn’t have to be Raizel.”
Stefan thought about it and he suddenly remembered Elena’s sister. He heard her talk with Tristan about her new born niece and she had been visiting them whenever she could along with her mother.
“I think I have someone in mind. Anyway, regarding the room, you don’t have to allocate more material for my kids. We can make do with the ones you have just make sure that their safety and health won’t be compromised.”
“I’ll send you the whole layout tomorrow morning. Let me know at once if there’s any adjustment that we need to make.”
“Got it. Thanks for your help.”
“No worries. Send my regards to your wife. Bye for now.”
As soon as the call ended, Stefan slumped on his bed. Since he cleared up his December and January for any work, Stefan has more time to spend now with his mother when he was at home or with his wife when she comes back from the university.
He found it more fulfilling to do something for his mom and for his wife instead of just sitting behind his working desk, reading documents and whatnot. He felt more accomplished when he was at home with the people he cared about. However, whenever he sees their bills, he will be reminded to work hard for his wife.
Stefan stared at the ceiling for quite sometime and about ten minutes later, he got up and searched for food online and sent them to Carla who was in the kitchen. Most of the time, it was Stefan who would cook for his wife but ever since he got couvade syndrome, Carla got the chance to make something for her boss and madam. She felt proud every time they praise her cooking and she was always looking forward to receive instructions from Stefan.
If he was any other men, he would have given up on such menial task. After all, he was already suffering because of his wife’s pregnancy. However, it was different for Stefan. His love for his wife soared on another level during her pregnancy. He thought that the difficulty of being pregnant was only during giving birth because he found out that it would be very painful. He would have never thought that carrying a child or children in his wife’s case could be as difficult as giving birth. It has become even harder now that her stomach grew a lot bigger with three babies inside.
Thinking up to his point, Stefan pulled something from his drawer. It was a diary that he secretly kept from his wife or so he thought. He didn’t know that Cayenne found it already but chose to keep her mouth shut because of the content.
This diary was a record of Cayenne’s pregnancy and the difficulties that she has been facing. The diary was addressed to their children in the future and you could see how much he cared for her.
One of the things he wrote was:
Last night, she was restless and couldn’t sleep properly because of her position. Yet, she didn’t complain and just mumbled sweet nothings to the children.
In the future, you can’t disturb your mom if she’s sleeping. I will throw you out and cut your allowance.
Another entry was:
My darling easily gets tired when walking upstairs. Thankfully, we have the elevator to use. However, it’s not always the same. I can see that she’s having a hard time going to school. I feel really bad for her.
Tsk! When you grow up, you have to study hard. You can’t be lazy.
P.S. I only spoil your mom so I won’t tolerate cutting classes and absences.
Stefan wrote whatever he likes to write and some of them were funny as well. He likes his children. He likes them more because they were made of Cayenne’s flesh and blood. But, he loves Cayenne the most.

Random interview with Stefan:
Interviewer: What is the moment that you would never ever forget abour your wife?
Stefan: When she got ulcer. It scared the hell out of me and it made me realize that this woman; I will never do something that would hurt her. Although, I broke the promise, I’m still trying to do my best to make her happy now.
Interviewer: We can all see that. She’s like the air and water to you. Have you imagined yourself of being a father at this age?
Stefan: No. I wanted to wait for a few more years so that my wife can do a lot more of the things that she likes doing.
Interviewer: uhh...so, the children was made accidentally? f𝙧𝒆𝚎𝑤e𝚋𝓷o𝘷𝗲l.c𝐨m
Stefan: No. I fell to one of my wife’s trap willingly.
Interviewer: If your wife and your children drown, who would you save?
Stefan: (looks at Cayenne nervously) My wife knows how to swim...wait, what age would my children be in this scenario?
Interviewer: 4, 5 or 6
Stefan: Why would I let them go near the pool? I’m not stupid to make my wife get angry.
Interviewer : Then 7 or 8
Stefan: Hmm, they should have learned how to swim at that age. Let’s not air this part but yeah, I’ll save my wife. My children can’t be weak. Again, let’s not air this part. My children will hate me.
Cayenne could only shake her head helplessly at her love-fool husband while everyone was dumb speechless at his words.
Other fathers would hesitate to answer the question but Stefan has no qualms telling them the truth. Nonetheless, fate has something more for him. Something wonderful that would bring color to his life in the future.
