SIXTY-FOUR
“Wife, won’t you get up yet? We need to hurry and we might be late for the appointment.” I caress her face because she hasn’t gotten up yet. I kiss her arm and caress her forehead. “Wife,” I call her again.
“Five minutes, hubby, please.” Then she covered herself with a blanket so I lowered it.
“But wife, you said that more than thirty minutes ago.”
“My body is heavy.” I touched her forehead to see if she had a fever but nothing. She’s not hot.
“It’s just laziness, get up and take a shower to feel better. I think I was overused last night. Go ahead and take shower.”
“I’m lazy to get, hubby.”
“But we will be late for our appointment. Do you want me to take Tintin alone to the vet instead?” She didn’t answer and later I noticed that she was asleep. We were talking about taking Tintin to the vet to remove his balls. It’s not that we don’t want a cat, but she got Lalat and Kiki pregnant at the same time and when the two give birth, they will multiply even more. What if they get pregnant again at the same time?
“Wife?”
“Hmph.”
I just decided to take a shower first. I’ll just let Lauren sleep. Maybe if I go out she will be awake. I think I make her tired last night. She does the role-playing of my fetishes, which is why I feel more excited. When it comes to bed, my wife is a champion.
But, lately, I have noticed that she often becomes sleepy and always has no desire to act. I also do not know why. But maybe they call it PMS in women. I don’t know, I’m not sure.
When I came out of the bathroom, she was still asleep. I’m already dressed but she still doesn’t get up. I thought that maybe I should just leave and let her and I will go alone. But she might be angry when she finds out I left her. That’s also one of the things I noticed when we were together she scolded me and then when I left she called and cried because she said she missed me.
“Wife? I’m ready. Tintin and I are just waiting for you.” I caressed her shoulder and kissed her again. Even in bed, the scent of my wife is still there.
“Hubby, can you just go? I feel really bad.”
“Do you want us to go to the hospital? How many days have you been like that.”
“I’m fine, maybe it’s because I stay up too often watching k-drama, so it’s only happening now. Then you make me tired every night, even when I’m awake.”
“Are you sure you’re okay?”
“Yes.”
“Fine, I’ll just go home early. Do you want something?”
“Nothing, just come home safe.”
“I will.” I kiss her on the forehead and leave her. I don’t want to leave but I can’t cancel the appointment.
I just get Tintin a check-up to make sure he was healthy. When the doctor said he was safe, he set a date for the operation. I saw on Tintin’s face that he looked sad.
“Sorry, Tin, it’s your mom’s idea.” He only gave me meow and sank into my chest.
After the vet, I called Lauren to check if she was awake. She also answered a few rings.
“Hubby.”
“I thought you were still sleeping. I’m done, and Tintin and I are going home.”
“Hubby, can you stop by the pharmacy?”
“Sure, are you sick?” I ask her. “What do you want to buy?”
“What-ah—-”
“Wife, you ok? Tell me.”
“Hubby, can you buy a pregnancy test?” I braked suddenly and could not speak. It’s a good thing that no one is in my back. “Hubby?”
“You mean—”
“Because I’m delayed.”
“I will, wait for me and I will buy.” I quickly drove the car to buy a pregnancy test. Is this it?
I CAN’T wait for Lauren to come out of the bathroom. She’s one month delayed and she said that she feels something strange. I bought ten pieces of digital pregnancy test kit to make sure about the result.
I am outside the bathroom while taking a walk. I was restless and every step I took made my heart beat faster. I’ve been feeling it ever since she told me and until now my nervousness hasn’t subsided.
“Wife? Aren’t you done yet?” I knocked because I couldn’t wait.
“Wait.” Her only answer.
I am waiting for more than three minutes. Each tick of the clock grew louder and louder in my ears.
“Wife.”
“I said, wait.”
What is he waiting for? Why did she take so long? Just put the urine in it. I think she is alone with my child inside. Fuck, I’m getting dizzy just walking.
“Hubby!” I ran as I could into the bathroom when I heard her scream.
“Yes?” She did not answer and looked at me. “What took you long? Is there a problem?”
“Hubby, five minutes before the result is read. You bought a lot more and I put them all in.”
“Ok-ok. What result?”
“Look.” She pointed to the kit. I look at them one by one. Everything is the same.
POSITIVE
I stared at the kit in a daze. I don’t know how to react. I also looked at her stomach. Is there a little Dale inside? Is there really? Have we really formed something?
“Hubby?” I looked at her. “What? You stunt.”
“Are you really pregnant?”
“Hmph.” She nods. “Aren’t you happy, hubby?”
“I am, I just can’t believe it.” I hug her and kiss her. We planned this and I expected this to happen. I am happy and yes I am. I’m just speechless. “I am speechless. I don’t know what to say.”
“I understand. But don’t worry hubby, I will make sure that we are both healthy and safe.”
“I will support you wife. Just tell me what you need and what you want, anything. I’ll do it for you. Ok?”
“Aye, aye.” I kneel so that my face is on her stomach.
“I can’t believe that there is little Dale inside or a little Lauren.”
“Me, too.”
“We will go for a check-up tomorrow, wife.”
“I am planning, too.”
“Baby, this is daddy. Your handsome daddy. Why does it not kick?” Lauren laughed out loud so I frowned.Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
“Hubby, our baby is still one month old. That won’t kick in yet.”
“Is that so? I thought that when it was inside, it would start kicking. Like Daze’s baby.”
“Hehehe, no no. Then hubby, Daze’s stomach is five months old so it’s really kicking.”
“I see.” I stood up and touched her face. I know she’s strong. I know she can do it.
“Hubby.”
“I love you. You know that, so please stay, ok?” She gave me a smile and nodded.
“I love you, too.” I hugged her tight and kissed her.
‘Please, Lauren, stay with me and don’t leave me.’
