Chapter 82 - Mama is mine

✦ CHAPTER — "Mama Is Mine." ✦

Jay's POV

Three months later—

Alina Watson officially ruled the mansion.

😭🫀🤍

---

Everyone was obsessed with her.

Mama. Freya. Sarah. Even the mafia men softened around her somehow.

---

But nobody—

absolutely nobody—

was more obsessed than Keifer.

---

And unfortunately for him…

Alina had recently decided I was her favorite person.

😭💀

---

The second anyone else carried her too long?

Crying.

If I disappeared from sight?

Immediate betrayal.

And lately—

she refused to sleep unless she was against my chest.

---

Which meant one thing:

Keifer Watson had become jealous of his own daughter.

---

Currently, I sat on the couch holding Alina against my shoulder while she slept peacefully.

Tiny hand gripping my hoodie.

Tiny cheek pressed against me.

---

And beside me—

Keifer stared at her suspiciously.

😭💀🫀

---

"She's doing it again."

I blinked.

"…doing what?"

"She stole my spot."

I looked down at sleeping Alina.

Then back at him.

"…she's three months old."

> "Exactly."

"Old enough to manipulate."

I burst into laughter instantly.

😭🤍

---

Alina stirred slightly hearing my laugh.

And immediately—

Keifer moved closer.

Too close.

Resting his head dramatically on my lap now.

---

I stared down at him.

"…what are you doing?"

His arms wrapped around my waist instantly.

> "Competing."

---

At that exact moment—

Alina woke up.

---

And the SECOND she saw Keifer laying on me—

her tiny face scrunched immediately.

---

Then:

angry baby noises.

😭🤍

---

I gasped laughing.

"No way."

---

Keifer narrowed his eyes at the baby.

"She's starting problems again."

---

Alina grabbed my shirt tighter instantly.

Like she understood.

---

Then Keifer pointed dramatically at her tiny hand.

> "See?"

"Possessive."

I laughed so hard I almost woke the entire mansion.

😭💀

---

Keifer's POV

I knew she was a baby.

I knew that.

Logically.

---

But why was she attached to Jay twenty-four hours a day?

---

Every time I tried holding Jay—

suddenly: tiny crying.

Tiny angry noises.

Tiny betrayal face.

---

And now she was literally glaring at me from Jay's arms.

Three months old and already territorial.

---

"No," I told her seriously while moving closer again.

> "Mama is mine."

Immediately—

Alina made another offended sound.

---

Jay covered her face laughing.

"Oh my God…"

---

I wrapped my arms around Jay from one side while Alina stayed in her arms from the other.

Both of us attached to her simultaneously.

---

Then suddenly—

Alina stretched one tiny hand and grabbed my shirt.

---

Silence.

---

I looked down slowly.

Her tiny fingers held onto me loosely while still staying against Jay.

---

And just like that—

all my fake jealousy disappeared instantly.

😭🫀🤍

---

"She likes you," Jay whispered softly.

I looked at Alina again.

Then carefully touched her tiny hand with my finger.

And immediately—

she held it tighter.

---

Something inside my chest melted completely.

---

"She still stole my wife," I muttered quietly.

Jay laughed again.

And this time—

Alina laughed too.

Tiny. Soft. Barely there.

But real.

---

Both of us froze instantly.

---

"…did she just laugh?" Jay whispered.

I stared at Alina like the world stopped moving.

And suddenly—

our daughter smiled.

😭🫀💌

---

Tiny. Sleepy. Perfect.

---

Jay's eyes filled immediately.

Meanwhile I forgot how breathing worked.

---

Then quietly, without looking away from Alina, I whispered:

"…okay."

> "She can keep mama." 🤍

---

✦ CHAPTER — "Papa Is Mine." ✦

Jay's POV

Eight months later—

Alina Watson had officially become a tiny mafia boss.

😭🫀💀

---

Not because anyone taught her.

No.

Because apparently she copied everything Keifer did.

Everything.

---

The way he narrowed his eyes.

The way he crossed his arms.

Even the little judging stare he gave people.

---

And unfortunately—

everyone noticed it.

---

"Why is she glaring at me like Boss?" one mafia man whispered nervously.

I looked over.

And nearly choked laughing.

😭💀

---

Tiny Alina sat on the carpet beside Mochi with her arms crossed exactly like Keifer.

Tiny serious face included.

---

Meanwhile Keifer looked proud.

Actually proud.

> "Good."

"Keifer, she's eight months old."

> "And already intelligent."

But lately—

there was another problem.

A much bigger problem.

---

Alina had become OBSESSED with Keifer.

---

If he walked away?

Crying.

If another person carried her too long?

Crying.

If he entered a room?

Immediate happiness.

---

Meanwhile I sat there like: hello??? I CREATED HER???

😭💀🫀

---

Right now Keifer sat on the couch with Alina in his lap while she touched his face happily.

And this man looked completely in love with his own child.

---

"She likes you too much," I muttered dramatically.

Immediately both of them looked at me.

Same expression.

SAME EXACT EXPRESSION.

😭💀

---

I pointed accusingly.

"See? That's terrifying."

---

Keifer smirked slightly.

Then Alina copied the smirk.

---

Silence.

---

I gasped dramatically.

"No."

> "Absolutely not."

---

Keifer laughed softly while kissing Alina's forehead.

And suddenly—

jealousy hit me.

Real jealousy.

😭🤍

---

I walked over dramatically and wrapped my arms around Keifer's neck from behind.

"Papa is mine."

---

The second I said that—

Alina looked offended.

Actually offended.

---

Then suddenly—

she grabbed my hair.

Hard.

And immediately started crying angrily.

😭💀🫀

---

"Ow— Alina!"

---

Keifer instantly took her carefully.

"Shh, princess."

His voice softened immediately.

"I'm yours."

---

Meanwhile I stared at both of them in betrayal.

---

Keifer looked over at me while calming Alina gently against his chest.

"Jay."

"What?"

"She's a baby."

Excuse me???

😭💀

---

I crossed my arms dramatically.

"Well clearly I'm not loved anymore."

---

Keifer sighed like he already knew where this was going.

But honestly?

Pregnancy hormones may have left.

My dramatics did not.

😭🫀

---

✦ LATER ✦

I ignored Keifer the rest of the evening.

Completely.

---

Every time he came near me—

I walked away dramatically.

---

"Jayjay."

Silence.

---

"Baby."

Ignored.

---

By nighttime he finally cornered me near the kitchen looking genuinely offended now.

"Are you seriously jealous of our daughter?"

I narrowed my eyes.

"Are YOU seriously taking her side?"

---

He stared at me for two seconds.

Then suddenly wrapped himself around me dramatically.

---

Actual full-body clinginess.

His arms around my waist. Face buried in my neck.

And this giant mafia boss literally wrapped one leg around mine so I couldn't walk away.

😭💀🫀

---

"Keifer!"

"No."

"You're heavy!"

"You ignored me."

---

I tried SO hard not to laugh.

But my shoulders were already shaking.

---

Then suddenly—

tiny crawling sounds.

---

Both of us looked down.

Alina was crawling toward us at full speed with betrayal written all over her tiny face.

😭🤍

---

The second she reached us—

she grabbed Keifer's shirt and tried pulling him away from me.

---

I LOST IT.

Actually laughing now.

---

"She wants you gone!"

Keifer looked offended immediately.

"I was here first."

---

Alina made angry baby noises and shoved his arm dramatically.

---

And somehow—

instead of moving—

this man clung harder.

---

He wrapped both arms tighter around my waist and buried his face deeper into my neck stubbornly.

"No."

> "Mama is mine too."

😭💀🫀

---

Now both of them were literally fighting over me.

An eight-month-old baby and a grown mafia boss.

---

I stared at Keifer in disbelief.

Because this terrifying feared man?

Was jealous of his own daughter.

---

Eventually Alina gave up trying to push him away and instead climbed into my lap possessively.

Still glaring at him.

---

He narrowed his eyes right back.

---

"Mama," I whispered dramatically to Alina.

> "Help me make papa jealous."

Immediately—

traitor child switched sides.

😭💀

---

The second Keifer tried touching my waist again—

Alina pushed his hand away angrily.

---

I gasped laughing.

"Oh my God."

---

Keifer looked genuinely betrayed.

"Not you too."

---

✦ TEN MINUTES LATER ✦

I was trying to work peacefully on my laptop.

Trying.

---

But now:

Alina slept against one side of me

Keifer laid against the other side with his face on my shoulder

Both attached.

Both refusing to move.

😭🫀🤍

---

I looked down at them helplessly.

"My family is clingy."

Without even opening his eyes, Keifer answered quietly:

> "Your fault."

And somehow—

he was probably right. 🤍
