The Best Man novel Chapter 69

"Liv, this is my sister Sidney", Nathan introduced her and I smiled at her. It was quite obvious she was his sister because she shared almost his facial features, in a more feminine way including their prominent beautiful amber eyes.

"It's lovely to finally meet you Sidney, I've heard so much about you"

"Only good things I hope", she ran her hand through her long light brown hair as she gave Nathan the side eye, and he shrugged his shoulders, clearing away from being incriminated in this conversation

"Only good things, I promise", I laughed, and she seemed pleased as she nodded her head. Sid looked sweet and innocent, and I could tell she was quite the heartbreaker.....or so I've been told.

"You're early for once Nathan", we heard a masculine voice from a distance, and we all turned our heads to see an older version of Nathan approaching where we were standing as it seemed he was coming from one of the rooms downstairs, carrying a small baby in his arms. I was actually surprised at how similar they looked. Apart from Nathan being a little shorter than him, I couldn't even tell the difference between them.

"Oh my God, you guys look so alike", my mouth was parted in surprise as I pointed in between them, at this point I wasn't even sure Nathan was Nathan

"That can't be right", older Nathan laughed, seemingly amused by what I just said. "I look nothing like this fool"

"This is Jamie, my older brother", Nathan rolled his eyes a little as he said that before stretching out his arms so that he could take the little one in his hands and Jamie leaned over to place the baby cautiously in Nathan's hands and I couldn't help but notice how Nathan's face looked as he cradled the small baby to his chest, carefully rocking him side to side

"It's nice to meet you Olivia", Jamie stretched out his hand for a handshake and I placed my hand in his

"Likewise", I smiled politely at him as we broke our contact and my eyes turned to the adorable baby Nathan was holding safely in his hands, walking towards him to play with one of his little hands. "Who's this cute little one?"

"This is Jaden, my handsome little nephew", Nathan was smitten as we looked down on his little face

"He really is handsome", I cooed softly as I stroked his little cheek, and he stopped sucking softly on his pacifier to smile at me, the kind of smile that just warms up my heart so much I couldn't help the huge smile that was growing on my face

Okay, I didn't need this right now because I was already suffering from extreme baby fever from being a part of Anna's pregnancy journey and now this?

"It's now time for his afternoon nap unfortunately", a woman appeared from one of the rooms Jamie seemed to surface back from, boy was she beautiful and flawless with her light green eyes and wavy dark hair that complimented her soft facial features

"Come with me Liv", Cass took my hand in hers and pulled me in the direction of what I assumed must be the kitchen

"You look a little nervous, are you okay?", she asked when she noticed I was fiddling with my fingers a little and I slowly nodded a little. I had little social anxiety around people I wasn't quite familiar with, but something told me I was going to be okay here.

"I understand, meeting the family can be a little overwhelming the first time, but you'll be okay", she reassured, and I felt more and more relaxed. We chatted a bit as we started in the preparation on the salads for the braai. Sidney joined us, and we got to know each other a little. They were really nice, and it turns out we all watched the late night reality show I loved, and so we had much to talk about

"Ladies, can I steal her for a minute?", Nathan walked into the kitchen as our laughter died down, and we all looked at him

"As long as you bring her back as soon as you're done, I guess you can", Cass notified him as she carried on with the chopping

"I promise I will", he was already pulling me by the hand out of the kitchen

"See? I told you have nothing to worry about", he said as he twirled me around a little just when we were about to ascend up the stairs.
