Arna was still a child so as soon they went home, she obediently sat and let Aria feed her without any anger. The housekeeper enjoyed watching the family of four feeding each other.

After a spoonful to Arna, she mumbled pointing to Alan who was watching them, "Dada turn."

​​

Chuckling, Aria fed her husband too who obediently ate while Arsh taught Arna. "Don't talk while you have food in your mouth."

Aria smiled before stuffing his little mouth. She has to teach him once and he would remember it without fail. Arna stopped Aria for the next spoon pointing at her father to feed him and cleared her mouth before speaking, "Brother Arsh, you have to chew well before gulping. Why are you so fast? Do you want stomach pain?"

Arsh ignored her and took his short spoon and scooped rice and fed her mother, "Momma eat."

"Me Me Me…" Snow shouted and jumped on the dining table to feed Aria but smeared all over her lips in her clumsy chubby palms. Arna laughed looking at her mother and exclaimed to her father, "Dad, my momma now looks like a real dummy. "

Alan's faint smile escaped patting his daughter's little head gazing at Aria's lips, "Now I want a real meal."

Aria: "..." She understood but her innocent kids started feeding him causing her to laugh nonstop. She always loved to see Alan helpless around kids and think a lot of times without daring to turn them down.

Alan went for the much needed hot water bath while Aria settled the kids in their joint room. Arna complained seeing two beds, "Momma, I want to sleep with Dad."

Aria was about to agree, Arsh held Arna's hand and took her to his bed, "We are still small, we two can fit in one so you can sleep with me. Hold my hand if you get scared."

Aria: "..."

She wanted to speak but her son left her spellbound. She really doubts if the kids in front of her are really 3 years old. They behaved like six to ten years old for her and Nemo, she doubts him as an adult most of the time other than his appearance.

Arna suddenly liked the concept of sleeping with her brother and demanded, "Tomorrow, you have to sleep with me on my pink bed." Arsh gave a hum lifting duvet for Arna to snuggle inside.

Aria who wanted to put them to sleep sat at the edge of the bed looking at two babies in awe and Arsh patted Arna as he started his story, "Snow, do you remember momma taught us weekdays?"

Arna nodded smiling at her mother and listed the weekdays accurately. Then Arsh patted her proudly and started his story in a storytelling pleasant voice, "On a Sunday morning, from an egg perched on the leaf, a caterpillar hatches and starts to look for food…"

Aria jaws dropped hearing Arsh tell a story and also teach about the birth cycle of butterflies. If her memory serves right, he had only once watched an animated video explaining about butterflies' birth.

Arsh slowly ended the story while Arna kept humming even after she slept, "... The caterpillar emerges out from the cocoon transformed into a colorful, beautiful butterfly with majestic wings."

Arna had dozed off so he turned to Aria and flashed her a bright smile, "Momma, I will take care of Snow, you also sleep."

However Aria spread her arms and he quickly hugged her, "My son is so smart."

Arsh rested his head on her shoulder and said, "Momma, Snow is smart too but… but..."

"But?"

Arsh tried but he didn't find an appropriate word so he explained, "She thinks she can do it and she knows everything and all loves her. Hmmm… Self…"

"Self-importance?" Aria asked if that was the word he was thinking.

Arsh nodded and snuggled his little face to her neck, "Momma, you teach me, I will teach her."

Arsh every reaction and way of behavior reminds her of Alan including his hum, "Baby, I will not stop you if you want to look after your sister but don't spoil her too much and you don't have to grow up so fast, Dad and mom will take care of you two."

He obediently accepted, "Okay...." He paused before telling, "I forgot to tell, Snow bullied Ivan again, He runs away from me too if Snow is together."

Due to Eva's teasing to steal Snow, the latter understood Eva's words faster than Ivan causing Arna to demand him like a girlfriend from which Ivan fights and runs away from the biggest bully.

Hearing about Ivan, "You like Ivan?"

Arsh who was slowly drifting to sleep hugging his mother hummed, "Momma, he is good and helps me look for Snow whenever she runs around."

His voice faded away and his lips moved without voice before his body completely relaxed in her embrace...

Alan entered the room after waiting for about half-hour. He saw Arsh sleeping on Aria who was holding Arna in another arm and sleeping peacefully.

He didn't know how long he stood there watching them, yet he couldn't have enough of them. He likes everything about them but he just wanted Arna to control her self obsession.

Instead of taking Aria to their bedroom, he snuggled with the little ones before dozing off kissing his wife.

----

In the morning,

Aria and Alan were getting ready after the little ones when Aria was informed that she won an award for her design as the best design on the international stage.

Obviously happy about the news, Aria was celebrating with Alan when Arna pushed the door open to see Aria in Alan's arms wrapping her arms around his neck while he had lifted her off the floor.

Hearing Aria giggle when Alan was kissing her cheeks repeatedly, Arna puffed her cheeks thinking they forgot her. She wanted everyone's attention, not even her mother is allowed to steal so she slammed the door with all her strength so that it could create a loud noise to disturb them then she held her knee and started crying, "Dadda Momma it hurts, it hurts..."

Aria and Alan forgot about the good news and ran towards Arna to check while Arsh stood and watched his sister acting and worrying parents unnecessarily.

Arna continued to rub her eyes to bring tears as she said between cries, "It's aching."

Alan immediately carried her up in princess style while panicked Aria raised her dress to her knee but her knee wasn't even red even if she had fallen on the carpet.

Alan furrowed and glanced at his son who was tightly pressing his lips like a grim man thinking if he should speak because if he speaks, Arna would be really mad at them.

Aria too caught the lie but she didn't reveal it. She hugged the little girl taking from Alan's frozen hand and shaking her head at Alan to stop him from reacting negatively.

Aria understood that Arna craves everyone's attention all the time, when they were in the Morgan mansion either Curtis, Rowan, Rian would always give their most of the attention to her but now they weren't in the Cooper mansion causing her to yearn for it more.

Once if they think she was too little to make her understand, on the other end her behaviors weren't like a three-year-old. She knew how to grab attention by faking things. Teaching her that the world doesn't revolve around her became very important but Aria didn't want Arna to revolt more.

While Aria coaxed the girl who was faking, Alan's face darkened hearing the cracks in Aria's voice. He had told her numerous times that she wasn't a bad mother but he couldn't stop her from judging herself helpless against their daughter.
