Chapter Thirty Three

"I really look cute." Munzi said looking at her self in the mirror. She was home alone after having begged Adrian to go to work. He had been reluctant to leave her ever since they found out that instead of three they were going to be having six children. But today after three weeks of him staying at home all day fussing over her six months pregnant belly, she had finally managed to force him out of the house. Now she was all alone and she could take a breath as well as make the video she had meaning to. She had put on a short green dress the reached just below her ass and hugged her belly just nice. She was really proud of the pregnancy even if she was one of those women who lost weight when pregnant but her tits still looked firm and bigger so she didn't really mind. After making sure her sleek long bob was perfect, she removed her fluffy slippers and picked up the camera from the bed. She stood in front of the mirror again holding her belly and smiled before clicking the record button.

"Hello babies. It's momma. I'm thirty one weeks pregnant today and I couldn't be more grateful. You are such beautiful blessings to your dad and I." She stopped to wipe her tears. She had been more emotional during this pregnancy and Adrian had also had a good share of his crying.

"I'm sorry but this is all your fault. I promise I don't just cry. You guys are making me emotional." She paused the recording and wiped her tears. After composing herself, she picked up the camera again.

"Anyway, I just want you to always know that I love you and your dad so much. Speaking of which, does he even know how much I love him? I don't know but I think he does. He's honestly the best thing that ever happened to the world. He is beautiful on the inside and outside. And when I see him, I swear I always feel like bursting from emotions. You know, it's like I feel so much whenever he walks in. And when I go to sleep, I smile and feel so happy because I know when I wake up, he will be right there. So I look forward to every tomorrow just so that I can have one more day with him. Kids, I think that's what love is or a feeling bigger than love. When you feel like you can fly and soar as long as he's there. So very soon you'll all be five and you'll be coming to me with your broken hearts and sad cute faces. I know that because you will all be so beautiful and handsome and many other kids will want you and sometimes you might end up being heart broken. But don't worry, I always got you. And before you decide to give your heart to someone, make sure you know what love is because some people are just not worth the pain. I mean maybe they are, we are all equal but what they mean to you is different." By this time, she had slid down to the edge of the bed and was sitting on the floor with her feet crossed. Pregnancy could really make you tired especially if your babies were as active as hers were.

"I love you all so much. I'm going to do my best to be the mother you all deserve. Even when I might scold you or not give you everything you want even if I can, I promise I have a good reason why. So just trust me because I don't think there'll ever be anyone who will love you like your dad and I. Actually, he's so excited to meet you all. Ever since we found out that we are going to have you, he hasn't left home once. And when he does, it's only for a short while and I swear sometimes I feel like I could beat him. I mean, give me sometime apart so that I can miss you. Anyway it's okay. I still love him. And he has also been suffering all the pregnancy symptoms too. It's always so funny since we crave different things. Like last night, I wanted pickled mangoes and he wanted lobster. It was so funny watching him fuss about how the restaurant delivery services couldn't get here soon." She stopped to laugh so hard she worried her water might break. Once she was done, she wiped her happy tears and looked at the camera again feeling sentimental.

"Summer, Stormi, Selene, Sofia, Kayden and Kaleb. You are all my babies and I love you so much. There is nothing more I can ask for now that your dad and I have you. You will grow up and be gorgeous and you will dream and you will fly and even what seems impossible will become possible. You will surpass your biggest dreams and you will find your other half like Adrian and I did. And even when it gets so dark and you fall into a hole and you don't think you can come out since it's a black hole, remember that you are in control and you have the light in you so let it shine. Shine as bright as you can and light through the crowds covering you. If your dad is the sun and I'm the moon, your kids are the stars. So imagine just how much brighter you will shine. My point is, I have talked for so long and I will give you many more words of wisdom as you grow up and even after that. You will always be my babies and I will never get tired of loving you. And whenever you feel like it's getting darker, watch this and know that it's natural, unlike me you don't reflect other people's light, you make your own." 

She ended on the high note and switched off the camera.

"Moon." Adrian called from behind her and she looked over her shoulder at him.

"Adrian, I'm so sorry I know I promised I would be in bed and I swear I'm getting back right now." She explained trying to get up but failing since she was too tired. She resolved to instead lie on the floor.

"Did I just hear you laugh at me for two whole minutes because I was craving lobster yesterday?" He asked approaching her. From her supine position on the floor, he looked like an angel.

"Maybe." She answered smiling thinking about it. It was all just too funny and she was sure she would be laughing because of it for a long time.

"You were laughing at me?" He asked approaching her even more.

"Yes." She admitted laughing even further.

"And you're still doing it?" He asked crouched down to her level.

"Yes. It's so funny, I think I'm going to pee my pants." She said holding her belly and laughing even more.

"Should I tickle you for being so naughty?" He asked and that gave her the strength she needed to get up from the floor and away from him.

"I'm gonna catch you." Adrian said laughing from the floor. He watched her legs swing from the other side of the bed as she ran from him. He would let her go to the bathroom and as soon as she came out, he would carry her like a bride and take her out for lunch. And he would get a lobster and rub it in her face when she laughed at him again. What had he ever done to deserve such a woman. He would never know but he guessed it was getting his heart broken by the first woman he ever loved. And he would do it again and again just so that he could end up here in this moment.
