Lonely Bride

“So.. So..” I gulped before I spoke again. “So you will take my babies away from me?” Tears pooled in my eyes. My hands drop to my sides.

I shiver while looking at him with hopeful eyes.

Looking at me and closing his eyes as if controlling something.

But again, what was wrong?

I am worried about my babies. I want to be with them.

What if I and Sean aren’t on good terms, but we can surely be wonderful parents if we try?

Getting up, he bent down to me while keeping his elbow on the table, and the other hand was on my headrest.

He cleaned my tears with his thumb while coming too close to me.

Darling, no one is taking our babies away from you. You are their mother, and you remain one.” He spoke, looking into my eyes. I can see the truth in his eyes.

I know he is not lying.

I somehow know he will never take my babies away from me.

My eyes are stuck on his while he’s on mine.

I could smell his cologne, and my mind and heart were already doing some weird things in my stomach.

I batted my eyes a few times when I noticed he was closer to me than before.

‘Is he going to kiss me?’ I thought about looking at him.

His eyes fluttered to my lips, back to my eyes, and again to my lips.

‘Yes, he will. I knew it already, and I was kind of prepared for it.

When he came so close to me that our noses touched. His warm breath was fluttering on my lips.

I subconsciously licked my lips when I suddenly felt dryness on them, but I think we were close as my tongue touched his lips.

I heard him take a deep breath, as if hitched.

Next, I felt his wet lips wet mine. I could taste the buttery croissant while kissing him. Orange juice’s sweet and sour flavors were so prominent.

Well, if I say he was the only one who was eager for my lips or kiss, then it’s wrong. Because pregnancy is making my life hell in every possible way and having physical touch is what I miss the most,

My hands automatically held his face while I reciprocated in the same manner.

But this kiss was not only for my physical needs but also a small gesture of how he made me happy by saying he was not planning what I was worried about.

We push back our self-hearing, a throat-clearing voice.

‘Gosh, did someone catch us like this?’

I was too embarrassed with just the thought that someone had caught us in our private moment, so I kept my head in my hands where Sean spoke, looking back while still hiding my body. “What?” His voice was annoyed, which made me smile a little.

Amm, sorry about that, sir, but it’s time for ma’am’s medicine.” I peeked from his body to get a glimpse of the person and saw a nurse standing there looking at the floor.

“Wait in the living room. She will be there in a minute.” She left by saying, Sure, Sir.”

I look up at Sean again when he turns his body back to me. His eyes were soft and tender when he touched my cheeks.

“Stop getting worried about so many small things, okay?” He nodded his head to me a little while asking my affirmation, to which I replied by nodding yes.

“Now go and take your medicine and take some rest. I guess you have already burned a good amount of calories for today, so there won’t be any need for a walk.” He smirks while I blush hard.

By the way, I have a small surprise for you.” He said this, and my eyes twinkled hearing it.

“What?” I asked the most stupid question.

“If I tell you how it will surprise silly women, He clucked while I rolled my eyes.

“In the evening, you will find out. Now I have some important work to do. If you need anything, you know where to find me. So, take care till then.” He said he packed on my nose and left for work.

I walk towards the living room, where I notice Bella and Alvera on the TV. Shaking my head, I took my medicine and let her take my blood pressure.

I did not have any work to do, nor was I interested in any walks, so I sat next to Bella and started watching the animated movie with them.

I don’t know how time passed or when I passed out, but when I woke up, Bella was still asleep next to me, and I was holding her in my arms while we both slept in my bedroom.

‘Last I remember, I was watching TV, then how come I landed here?’ I thought.

‘I am sure it must be Sean.’ I concluded.

Getting off the bed, I walked towards the washroom to freshen up, and by then I had come outside. Bella was already rubbing her eyes.

I looked out, and the sun was ready to set.

I frown, thinking about how much we must have slept today.

I walked toward her. Hey, my Bella!” I kissed her cute nose, and she snuggled closer to my chest.

“Go freshen up, then let’s go down to eat something. You must be hungry.” I said this while arranging the bed after she ran to the washroom, nodding obediently.

We were both getting down from the stairs when I stopped hearing the voices of my life.

Rose,” I look forward to hearing this.

Natalia was standing there with Parminder and Priti, holding Pam’s hand.

Tears pooled in my eyes looking at them, and I could hide my happiness and run to them.

I hugged Natalia so tightly that if I left her, she might vanish into thin air.

“Oh, my,” she giggled while holding me.

Natalia is a mother figure in my life. Her age is not such that she is my mother, but her love and affection are not less than a mother to me.

Breaking the hug, I jumped on Parminder and Priti together and somehow caught them off guard, but they both giggled while holding me still protectively.

“Mom, how are you?” I noticed tears in Priti’s eyes, but her smile wasn’t leaving her eyes, and the same is true with me.

“I am good.” My voice cracked when I could not control my emotions. I started sobbing while smiling at the same time and looking at them.Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

I can’t understand why I am crying, but it’s as if my tears have their own mind.

“Oh, my rose, are you?” I look at Natalia. She had tears in her eyes, and she was also smiling while crying. I followed her sight and noticed she was looking at my baby bump, which is not prominent being five months pregnant with twins.

I nodded yes, smilingly.

“Oh, my. Don’t stand for a long time; come sit.” Natalia, being Natalia, started giving me instructions already, which made me roll my eyes while cleaning my tears from the back of my hand.

“Ma’am, you are glowing. This pregnancy made you look more beautiful.” Priti spoke admiringly. While Parminder nodded his head.

“I was born beautiful, and this pregnancy has nothing to do with my beauty,” I said while keeping my chin high. We all burst out laughing.

Oh, how much I missed this.

“If I knew my surprise would make the entire house light up with your laughter, then I would have done this long ago.” I saw Sean walking down the street wearing his grey full suit, looking as dashing as always.
