"Push Pearl. You are doing such an amazing job, my love." Sebastian said as she let out a final push, bringing their son into the world. His cries brought tears to her eyes, knowing he was finally here. Sebastian looked at him and wiped the tears from his eyes.
"He's beautiful. He looks just like you." Sebastian said. The nurse wrapped him in a blanket and handed him to Sebastian. He walked over to Pearl and placed him on her chest. She smiled and kissed his little nose as he cooed.
"Let's name him after your father." She said. Sebastian smiled and kissed her forehead.
"Alexander. And what will be his middle name?" Sebastian asked. He looked at him and smiled.
"Dylan, I think." He said. Pearl looked up at him and nodded with a big grin.
"I love you." Pearl said. Sebastian took a damp cloth and wiped her brow and face. He lovingly moved the hair from her view of the baby and smiled.
A few days later, they made their way to the steps of the hospital to announce their third child's birth.
"His name is Prince Alexander Dylan. And we are over the moon in love." Sebastian said as he looked down at Pearl holding his son. "I am the luckiest husband and father in the world to feel such joy today. Hug your families, show them how much you love them today, for today is a day of counting all of your blessings." Sebastian said as the press took pictures and shouted questions. They made their way to the car and back to the palace.
"Daddy!" Christian exclaimed and they walked into the nursery. Tia was there with the newly hired nanny named Beth.
"Christian, this is your brother, Alexander. It is your job to look out for him like you do your little sister. You are all very close in age and they will look up to you." He said. Christian looked proud as he puffed up his chest.
"I will daddy." He said. He was just about to turn three and he was all Sebastian. He looked like him, talked like him and had his personality. He was his little clone.
"Brubber." Isla said as she looked at the little baby in her father's arms.
"Isla, this is your little brother, Alexander. Be kind to him. He is very small and fragile." Sebastian said. Isla looked up at Pearl. "Momma." She said, raising her arms. Pearl knelt down and hugged her. "I still love you the same, pretty girl." She said.
She looked up at Sebastian and smiled. Their life was perfect.

"I still love watching you feed our babies. It's so damn attractive and carnal." Sebastian said, watching Pearl nurse Alexander. "It shows me that you are the mother of my child in the most primal way." He said, sitting by them and rubbing the top of Alexander's head as he greedily ate.
"I was thinking, maybe next month we could go to Italy for a few days. Just you and I. You've had that house for so long and we have never visited." He said. She sighed. She had purposely avoided it because of the memories there.
"Perhaps. You know how I am about leaving the babies for any length of time." She said.
"We have two nannies now and it will only be for a few days. Just a get away. We need it." He said. She nodded. "Okay."
He smiled and kissed her forehead. "I'll be back in a little while. Get some rest when he rests." He said. She smiled and nodded.
As he closed the door behind him, he was excited she had agreed to go to Italy with her. He had a surprise in store and he could barely wait another month to show her.
