Chapter 1: A Silver-haired Angel is Born

The Kuran household was filled with joy as they were awaiting the birth of another Kuran heir. Two brunette boys sat between their mother and father on the sofa belonged to their uncle, Rido Kuran, anxiously awaiting the birth of their cousin.

The older boy, Kaname, was 8 years old. He had silky shoulder-length dark brown hair and dark brown eyes. His calm expression masked the nervousness of his heart. He had been waiting for the arrival of his future mate for long 9 months.

The younger boy, Senri, was 7 years old. He had short light brown hair and light brown eyes. Though his eyes showed a bored expression, his heart said otherwise. It was doing flip-flop as the birth of his cousin and future mate was approaching. He couldn't help remembering the conversation he had with his mother and older brother five months ago.

Juuri Kuran was reading a book in her bed when her two beloved sons came into the room. They crept to the bed and sat next to her. Juuri closed her books and regarded her sons with a smile.

"Kaname … Senri … what a pleasure to have you early this morning. What can I do for you?"

Senri snuggled his head into his Juuris chest and looked up at her.

"Mother … when is Shizuka having her baby?"

"I believe it's in five months. Why?" Juuri stroked Senri's brown hair gently.

"Well, I can't wait to see the baby. Since Shizuka is beautiful and Rido Ojii-san is handsome, I think the baby will look beautiful, too." Senri blushed and buried his face into his mother's chest.

"Of course he or she will be beautiful. It's your cousin, after all." Juuri smiled at her youngest son innocent comments and looked at her oldest son. "Don't you think so, Kaname?"

Kaname nodded, a happy smile adorned his face. "Of course. He or she will be my mate, so the baby must be beautiful."

"No! He will be mine!" Senri sat up and looked defiantly at his brother.

"Well, I'm the firstborn. So the baby will be mine." Kaname couldn't help teasing his cute brother.

"Mother..!" Senri looked pleadingly at Juuri. "Can't the baby be mine? Is it true since Kaname is the firstborn then Shizuka and Rido Ojii-san's baby will be his?"

Juuri caressed Senri's cheek and looked lovingly at him.

"In Pureblood Vampire society, it's natural that the firstborn will marry the first cousin."

"What if the baby will fall in love with me instead of Kaname? Will there be an exception?"

Senri tried to defend himself.

"Well, I guess if that happens we will let him or her decide. But of course you will need Kaname's permission, since by right Kaname is the betrothed."

Kaname ruffled Senri's hair and kissed his forehead.

"We'll see about that. Who knows he or she will love both of us equally. If that happens I don't mind sharing with you. As long as I will father the first child."

"Really?" Senri's eyes light up. He wrapped his arms around Kaname's neck and gave a soft peck on Kaname's cheek. "Thank you, Kaname. You are the best brother."

Senri smiled. He truly wished that the baby will fall in love with him.

"What are you smiling about?" Kaname couldn't help teasing his cute brother.

"Nothing." Senri posed his usual bored expression.

"You must be thinking about our conversation five months ago, don't you? Don't worry. I always keep my word." Kaname placed his right palm across his chest as if to reaffirm his promise.

Senri's usual bored expression was replaced by a tint blush on his cheeks. He gave a soft punch to Kaname's shoulder.

"Shut up!"

Kaname laughed. Haruka and Juuri were amused by her sons' exchange. Their laughing moment was put to a halt when Rido appeared at the doorway of the family room. His hair was messy and his mismatched eyes were tired, but a smile of happiness adorned his face.

"Please welcome our son, Zero Kuran, into the world."

Kaname and Senri ran to follow Rido to the master bedroom. Haruka and Juuri followed behind them. Shizuka was sitting on her bed with her back against the headboard. A tiny baby swaddled in white silk linen was cradled in her arms. Her eyes beamed with happiness as she greeted her brother and sister-in-laws and nephews.

"Haruka… Juuri…Kaname…Senri… please welcome Zero Kuran into the family."

Haruka and Juuri stood by the bed while Kaname and Senri sat on the bed on each of Shizuka's side. The two brothers couldn't help admiring the beautiful baby.

"He's beautiful." Kaname said with adoration.

"He's an Angel." Senri looked at his silver-haired angel with so much love in his eyes. "He has the same beautiful silver hair as you, Shizuka."

"Thank you. Do you want to hold him?"

Kaname and Senri nodded and opened their palms next to each other. Shizuka placed the sleeping Zero gently in their palms.

Kaname caressed Zero's cheek and kissed his forehead. "You are truly beautiful, my Zero."

Senri kissed Zero's cheek and held Zero's tiny fist gently in his hand. "Welcome to the world, my beautiful Silver Angel."

The two Kuran couples smiled at the scene. They were looking forward to see the three boys grow up together.
