Chapitre 94: Book 1 : Chapter 94 The Rebel Leader

December 20th

Leo's POV

Ella squealed and I took Cato from her arms as she moved her thirteen-hour postpartum self to the door as quickly as she could.

"Mom!" I heard a cry.

I came into the hall with Cato in my arms and watched as she threw herself into her mom's arms and hugged her tightly.

"You're a grandmother now," she said excitedly before going to hug her brother, who stood at the door beside their mother.

"How is he?" Connor asked.

At that point, their attention all diverted to me... or rather what was in my arms. He was wide awake with his big blue eyes on full show and even a little smile.

"Oh my..." Mara began before trailing off.

I carefully handed her Cato and she held him close to her like nothing had ever been more precious.

"He reminds me of you when you were first born, Ella. Smiling and happy from day one. And he has your eyes, Leonardo. Congratulations to both of you."

"Thank you, mom," Ella said. "I've missed you so much."
