She's My Sleeping Pill-Chapter 867: FIRST MEAL
At 9:30 AM the next day, Cayenne informed her team about their tasks since she won't be working for the day. Zaire was told to finish editing the video and upload it on the same day. Cree and Callum were told to contact the five people on the list of people that needed immediate help. It was to make advance preparation for her next vlogging episodes.
Addie was told to help Zaire if he needed assistance.
At 10:00 AM she took a shower and changed into the clothes that Stefan chose for her. She had no doubt that the clothes fit her. She checked the things inside her bag once again to make sure that she didn't forget anything important. When she went down, she found the triplets in the living room with their father.
"You look beautiful," Stefan expressed the moment he laid her eyes on her. "You're always beautiful, but today you are exceptional."
"You're exaggerating it again," Cayenne responded with a sigh, but then she grinned afterward. "Are you all set? Shall we go?"
Stefan nodded and told the bodyguards to start the cars. This time, Cayenne won't be separated from her kids. They used an ordinary-looking van to avoid getting attention and made sure that the bodyguards would be following them not too far and not too close as well.
The van that they used was the customized van for Luiz. Instead of chairs, the van had a bed at the back and a mini kitchen where he could heat his food and dine. There was even a small shower room installed. It could be used to camp outside.
When they arrived at the cemetery where Alexander was buried, it was just a few minutes past 12:00 NN. Alexander's graveyard was separated from other graves and it was spacious. Of course, they paid quite a lot for it as well, but Stefan didn't mind. It was the least he could do for his brother.
He opened the gate to the yard and set up the tables and other things that they needed. Half of the bodyguards helped him while the other half guarded the van where Cayenne and the kids stayed. With the number of hands helping each other, it didn't take long for Stefan to finish everything.
Cayenne went out of the car and took Zeki with her. Stefan came to her and placed Aziel and Jahzara inside their strollers. The little princess was pouting with her hands flailing up in the air. Instead of taking her out, Stefan just smiled and held her hand. The small fingers were gripping his index finger, but Stefan didn't pick her up.
Jahzara let out gibberish noises and Aziel did the same. Listening to their baby language, Stefan chuckled while pushing Jahzara's stroller to Alexander's graveyard. Next to him was the bodyguard responsible for Aziel's stroller.
"Just leave him here," Cayenne said and the bodyguard stopped the stroller next to her. Aziel raised his arms immediately and his mother took him out. He looked at his sister and saw that she was still inside the stroller. To everyone's surprise, he started giggling. "Oh! What makes you so happy?" Cayenne muttered and kissed Aziel's cheek.
He giggled even more.
On the other hand, Jahzara was about to cry. Her two brothers were being doted on by their mother, while she was left out inside the stroller with no one paying attention to her.
Stefan talked to the guards about their stations and told them to eat their lunch by batch. After making sure that everything was fine, he returned to his wife and his kids.
"I'll light the candles and put the flowers first," Stefan told Cayenne and went to Alexander's tomb. "It's been a while since the last time we came here."
"I know you felt bad for what happened to his mother, but I'm sure that Alexander could understand why you have to do it."
"I hope so. He was the only light in my dark world when I was young. When I lost him, I plunge into the darkness again. If it was not for Travis who pulled me up from the quagmire, I think I would still be the abandoned Stefan."
"Justice will always prevail no matter how long it will take. Anyway, let's not talk about it here. I think the conversation will upset your brother even more."
"You are right. We should tell him about the kids," Stefan responded before making a silent prayer. He also introduced his triplets to Alexander and asked him to watch over them as they grow up.
Cayenne was busy preparing her children's first meal as well. She poured the powdered baby cereal made from wheat, milk, and apple, and poured hot water into the bowl. She once posted a question on her social media account, asking the public what was best to feed the babies for their first meal. A lot of mothers suggested this product to her and when she asked Eli about it, he said it was also good.
She just hoped the children would like it.
"I'll feed the princess and Zeki," Stefan said when he returned to her side and picked up the two small bowls of food. The content was very little, but he knew that it was enough for the children. They might not even finish it.
Each of the kids has their own bowl and spoon. They have different designs to distinguish which one belongs to whom. Stefan fed Jahzara first and followed with Zeki. He fed them alternately and they seemed to like the food. Unlike other children who push their food out of their mouths using their tongues, Jahzara and Zeki were eating properly.
However, it was different for Aziel. After feeding him with a small amount, he refused to open his mouth again. No matter how much Cayenne tried, he won't just eat his food.
"Did you bring another type of food?" Stefan asked when he noticed that Cayenne was having a hard time with their middle child.
"I brought the one with banana-something. Let me prepare a small amount and see if he would like it," Cayenne rummaged through the baby's essential bag and found the baby food with banana flavor. She poured the powder into the bowl and mixed it with hot water.
She scooped a small amount and blew on it to cool the food before feeding it to Aziel. Her child slowly chewed on the food and swallowed it. When Cayenne fed him again, he opened his mouth and ate his food.
Cayenne's face brightened and she happily fed her baby.
"I didn't know feeding a baby could be this worrisome. Thankfully, I brought another flavor of food. I thought he would like it since it has a little bit of apple essence and whatnot. I guess, triplets don't really have the same tastes,"
Stefan chuckled and kissed her forehead. "It's fine. We have a lot of helpers and we already found 2 candidates who would look after the children. We can take turns in taking care of them."
After feeding the children, Stefan carried Jahzara and a guard came to hold Aziel. Cayenne carried Zeki and they slowly patted and rubbed the children's back to make them burp.
This was what they learned from Elena's sister.
From a distance, Julia watched the family having fun. Her eyes turned cold thinking back to the time when they got kicked out of the family. She also wanted a warm family, but it was ruined by her own grandfather, uncle, and Clara. She hated Clara the most, yet Stefan still liked to visit Alexander.
She didn't like the fact that she was the only one consumed by hatred while her cousin lives a happy life with his family.
[We should all be miserable.] Julia thought before going back to her car. She could not rely on her mother anymore. She already felt that Celestine won't go against her father and nephew again. [I can do it alone.]
MINI THEATER 1
Aziel looked at his sister inside the stroller and giggled. "Mom carries me this time."
Jahzara: "I'll cry."
Aziel: "Go ahead and cry. Just so you know, there are so many ghosts in here and they will be attracted by your loud wail."
Afraid of her brother's words, Jahzara blinked back her tears and pouted. She also wanted to be carried by their mom or dad.
MINI THEATER 2
Cayenne was mixing the food for the babies inside the three small bowls. She seemed really excited. Stefan let them sit on baby chairs and took two small bowls for Jahzara and Zeki. Cayenne would be feeding Aziel alone.
Jahzara ate first and her two brothers were looking at her, waiting for her reaction.
Jahzara: "It tastes good."
Zeki trusted his sister's words and ate as well. "Yummy."
Aziel knew that his siblings won't lie to him, so he accepted the food from his mommy happily. He chewed on it. Once. Twice. He wanted to vomit, but his mother was looking at him happily. Left with no other choice, he swallowed the food and never opened his mouth again.
[It tasted awful! How could they stomach that kind of food?] He thought while staring at his worried mother. He won't eat again.
Cayenne mixed another baby food and the smell made him hungry. He ate the small amount that their mother gave him and when he tasted it, he felt like crying in happiness. It washed away the awful taste of the food he just ate earlier.
Aziel: "This is going to be my favorite."
