Eros' POV

I noticed the door was open slightly. My father walked in. I stood up quickly.

"Hi." He whispered, looking at Atlas, my sleeping little boy.

"Hi, Dad."

He walked closer to the crib and held my son's little hand.

"Hello, little boy." He murmured softly, smiling.

He turned towards me and placed his hand on the nape of my neck.

"I am proud of you....Umm...You saved their lives." He said proudly and hugged me.

I hugged him back.

Did he hear what I said earlier?

He was acting strange.

He pulled back and informed without taking his eyes off Atlas. "Your mother is coming here. She is on the way."

I nodded and looked at my son. Atlas blinked his eyes, but did not open them.

Anna's POV

When I opened my eyes, Eros and Uncle Loukas were beside Atlas, looking at my sleeping son.

I must have fallen asleep. I was really tired.

"Hi, Anna. Congratulations, dear." Uncle Loukas said, giving me a wide smile.

He walked closer to me and kissed my forehead.

"Thank you." I smiled at him.

"Helena is on the way. She can not wait to see the baby." He added, excited.

I nodded, smiling.

Suddenly, Atlas started crying.

"Hey, little boy. You are awake?!" Eros whispered softly, leaning over Atlas's crib.

He took him in his arms carefully. Atlas was still crying. Eros walked closer to me, carrying our son in his arms.

"This little boy missed his mother." Eros commented softly, looking at Atlas.

I smiled happily and extended my arms towards him. He gave me our little boy carefully. I held Atlas in my arms.

"Your mother missed you too." I whispered softly, stroking his cheek.

A few seconds later, he stopped crying.

"Congratulations, Anna!" Aunt Helena exclaimed happily as she walked in.

"Thank you." I said, giving her a polite smile.

She walked closer to us.

"Hello, little handsome." She said softly, looking at Atlas. "Aww, he is so cute. I remembered when Eros was born. He looked like him." She commented, caressing Atlas's cheek.

I looked at Eros. He was staring at me, smiling.

"Can I hold him?" She asked.

"Sure."

I gave her Atlas. She held him carefully. Then Uncle Loukas took Atlas in his arms.

A few minutes later, Atlas started crying.

"He must be hungry. You need to feed Atlas." Eros stated.

"Yes." I said as I nodded.

"His name is Atlas?" Uncle Loukas asked as he gave Eros a knowing smile.

"Yes." I replied.

"Such a beautiful name." Aunt Helena commented, looking at Eros and gave me my little boy back, smiling.

Then they walked out, leaving me alone with my son.

A few hours later, Uncle Loukas and Aunt Helena left.

I was holding my son in my arms. He was sleeping peacefully. Eros was sitting beside me.

"Eros, you are tired. You should go and rest." I commented.

"No, I am staying here with our baby and you." He whispered, giving me a tender smile.

When I woke up the following morning, Eros was holding our son in his arms. He did not leave our side for a second. He was so caring and protective towards us.

I looked at them. They were looking so cute. I smiled. It was the best view in the world.

Eros lifted his head up. Our eyes met. He smiled at me.

"Good morning." He whispered.

"Good morning." I whispered.

Atlas sighed, but he did not wake up.

Two days later

Today, we were leaving the hospital. I placed Atlas in his baby car seat carefully. I took my bag. Eros picked up the baby car seat carefully. He held my hand as we walked out, holding each other's hand. George opened the door for us. We got in the car.

"Where are we going?" I asked Eros; George was not driving to the hotel.

"To our house." Eros replied as he gave me a warm smile.

"Eros, I..."

"Anna, you can not stay at the hotel anymore. You will stay in my house. In our house. I want our son and you beside me. And it will be more comfortable for our son too." He said confidently without letting me finish my sentence.

I nodded in agreement.

"Great!" He gave me a wide smile.

"But my clothes and... "

"I managed them. They are in the house." He informed.

I nodded.

We arrived in the house. Eros got out of the car and took the baby car seat. He extended his hand towards me. I held his hand and got out of the car. We walked into the house.

"Welcome home, my little Taptiklis." He stated softly, looking at our son. Then Eros held my hand and said happily. "Come with me. I have a surprise."

We went upstairs. He opened the door. We walked into the room. It was a nursery room. Bold stripes gave a unique blend of playfulness and sophistication here, which followed a strict blue and white color scheme. There were a lot of toys in the room.

"Eros, the room is so cute and beautiful. Thank you." I said happily and kissed his lips.

"Do you like it too?" He asked our son, smiling.

"He loved it, didn't you my boy?" I cooed Atlas, looking at him affectionately.

Eros placed our son in his crib. Atlas fell asleep immediately. I pulled a blanket over him.

Eros wrapped his arm around my waist, pulling me closer to him and placed a soft kiss on my forehead. I wrapped my arm around his waist, leaning my head against him. We were watching our sleeping little boy.

"I love you, Anna." He murmured in my ear.

I looked into his eyes and confessed. "I love you too, Eros."

He brushed his lips against mine. I wrapped my arms around his neck as I responded to his kiss. He wrapped his arms around my waist, pulling me closer to him while kissing my lips passionately.
