My Name is NOT Cupcake

Chapter 55

"Nova, wake up!" Minnie said loudly as she burst through the door. I groaned as Elias growled.

"Minnie," he warned sternly.

"Oh, come on, Eli. It's already noon and we have a lot to do before the ceremony. Starting with the

dress," Minnie pouted.

"If she wants to sleep, let her sleep," Elias said. I sighed and sat up.

"I'm awake," I grumbled. Minnie smiled and pulled me out of the bed. She dragged me to the bathroom

and closed the door behind me. Just in time, too. I felt the acid rise in my throat. I positioned myself

over the toilet just as the bile bubbled out of my mouth. I coughed in between throwing up. The morning

sickness hadn't been too bad. It was on and off so I guess I couldn't complain. I felt Elias' hand on my

back.

"Are you okay?" he asked. I chuckled and went to the sink.

"Elias, we've been over this. It's just morning sickness," I said before I brushed my teeth. He kissed my

cheek before Minnie took over. Elias started to back out of the bathroom. I rinsed my mouth and set my

toothbrush back in its place. I shot him a warning look.

"You are not leaving me right now," I said. Elias hesitated but eventually stayed put.

"Make sure you wear a strapless bra and shave everything," she said. I blushed before she left the

bathroom and I was left with Elias. I turned my glare on him.

"You were seriously about to leave?" I asked. He shrugged and moved closer to me.

"It looked like a girl thing," he said unsurely. I sighed and wrapped my arms around his neck, bringing

him closer to me.

"You're not leaving me today," I said softly before I kissed him gently. His hands rested on my hips

before he kissed my head.

"I'll be in the room," he gave in. I smiled lightly before he left the bathroom, closing the door behind him.

I quickly got showered and ready for the day. Elias was waiting in the room as promised. He was

already dressed and ready to go. He took my hand in his and we went down to meet Minnie. She

dragged us into town to Anna's Tailor shop. I was fitted and asked a series of questions before we went

to get me maternity clothes. Afterwards we stopped for a bite to eat. Elias was minding his p's and q's.

He was gentle and cautious, as well he should have been.

"I'm getting tired," I said with a yawn. Minnie smiled knowingly.

"I remember when I was pregnant with Rhett. He is the best thing that's ever happened to me. Enjoy it

while you can, Nova," she said. I found myself smiling slightly. It wasn't perfect, but I knew I would love

this baby. "If you're up for it, maybe you could have Rhett for a few days to practice. You and Eli. Lord

knows he'll need the practice," she joked.

"Minnie, I'm great with kids," he defended himself. I laughed.

"Yeah right. You couldn't even handle when we had Alana and Anya for a day," I pointed out. He

pouted.

"That was different... plus, the ending wasn't quite as planned," he said vaguely. I remembered.

"Being good with kids and taking care of kids is completely different," Minnie said, coming to the

rescue. "Lucky you have a sister-in-law with a baby," she said, pointing her fork at him before finishing

her food. After we were done eating, we went back home. I went straight up to our room and collapsed

on the bed. I sighed and draped my arm over my face. I felt the bed dip before my arm was removed

from my face.

"I set up another appointment for us to find out the sex of the baby," Elias said before he kissed my

cheek. He laid down next to me and held my hand in his. I sighed and closed my eyes.

"When?" I asked.

"Two days," he said. I chuckled.

"You're so impatient," I noted. "It doesn't matter anyway. I don't want to know," I said. He sat up and

looked at me surprised.

"What do you mean?" he asked.

"I want the gender of our baby to be a surprise... so it will be," I said.

"Nova, please, come on. I can't wait another six months to find out if we have an Alpha or a princess,"

he said. I chuckled and placed his hand on my stomach.

"One, I'm only two months pregnant, so it's more like seven months. Two, our child is going to be

Alpha; regardless of the gender, so it doesn't really matter anyway," I explained. Elias sighed.

"Female Alpha, won't happen and never will," he said.

"You should have faith that our baby, whether be male or female, will be strong and confident enough

to lead this pack and take on whatever life throws at them," I said. He hesitated before he smiled

gently.

"You're incredible, you know?" he said. "Okay, fine. As much as it's going to kill me, we don't have to

find out the gender of our baby just yet," he said.

"And?" I probed.

"I'll think about this whole 'girl Alpha' thing, but I'm pretty sure we're having a boy," he said. I smiled and

pulled him into a deep kiss. He pulled away breathless and stared at me. "What was that for?" he

asked. I only smiled.

"That was for listening to me," I joked. He smirked. All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

"I should listen to you more often," he said. I laughed and rolled onto my side.

"You should... goodnight, Elias," I said. He turned off the lights before getting into bed with me.

"Goodnight, cupcake. I love you," he replied. I drifted off the sleep with a smile on my face.
