Chapter 227: His Love Language
Marcella was discharged from the hospital on the third day. She was feeling sore all over but that was to be expected considering she just gave birth.
Joey wanted to ride with her in the wheelchair. He missed her after being unable to be with her for two whole days. He didn’t let go of her even though Tony tried to get him. Marcella hugged him to his heart’s content. He was not planning on letting her go and Marcella didn’t mind.
When they got home, Marcella spent some time with Joey and helped him accustomed to his baby brother. She didn’t want a jealous big brother in her home. She taught Joey to do little things, like getting the diaper for his baby brother and he loved doing it.
He loved being a help for his mommy. Tony too brought him out in the evening and played with him. Joey didn’t feel ignored after the arrival of his little brother. Along with a little helper, Marcella got the most perfect toddler ever to exist, in Joey.
She made sure to let Joey know how much of a help he was for her. He would smile sweetly and his chin would pint up with pride. She didn’t know what she did to deserve such a perfect boy.
Tony was busy. Mostly because of her hormones that were going haywire, he tried to keep everything to himself. Marcella didn’t have the energy to think about Tony or his work for almost a week. She didn’t know what he did in the mornings but he always returned home before dinner and most of the time, he did the cooking and the cleaning. He also put Joey to bed and found time to massage her legs.
"Are you a superhuman?" Marcella asked. Although she said it as a joke, she seriously doubted how he had that much energy.
"I am one when I need to be one," he smiled.
He should have gotten over the pain she went through to give birth to the baby but he couldn’t. It stayed fresh in his mind although she insisted that she had forgotten it. He wanted to help her in any way he could so that she could rest.
And, no more babies. They have two sons and that was more than enough.
