Chapter 29 Wonderful things

He steps from the bathroom and saw a trail of red roses leading from outside the bathroom door all the way through the bedroom door, there was a note at the beginning of the trail that said; follow the rose petals baby. "What is that girl up to?" He wondered as he began following the roses, the trail ran down the wide passage and end at the bedroom beside Jasmine's room. There was a sign on the door that says, knock and enter slowly, which he did, then froze in awe at the sight of the room.

It was exquisitely beautiful, there was a round table in the center of the room and the three candles on it was the only light but it was enough for him to see perfectly. Love music was playing and the bed was covered in rose petals. She was standing next to the table wearing pink lace lingerie and holding a single red rose in front of her stomach.

"Wow…oh baby….wow…. I'm….. speechless right now." He said walking over to her and pulling her into his arms he gave her a long passionate kiss. "When Jasmine said you had a surprise for me, I wasn't expecting all this, baby girl this….. This is wonderful and you're breathtakingly beautiful by the way but why did you do all this?" He asks as she curled her fingers in his hair and he buried his face in her neck and slips his hand beneath her lingerie top caressing her breast.

"For the same reason, you always do the wonderful things you do for me; to show you how much I love and appreciate you." She giggled as he nibbled on her ear. "You're amazing, you know that?" He asks softly against her ear. "Yes I do but I don't mind hearing it every now and then; are you hungry?" "Oh yeah, but not for food." He said taking her by the hand and leading her to the bed and after removing her lingerie he laid her on her back and began massaging her body with the massaging oil she had on the bedside table, her body swayed to the rhythm of the music and the movements of his hands and her legs part to welcome him inside her.

As he enters her gently she took his hand and put it on her stomach, he felt a gentle thud against his hand and another one followed almost instantly. "Feisty little buggers aren't they?" He laughs. "Yes they're, they know you very well." "Does it hurt when they move around like that?" He asks. "Not really, it's just uncomfortable and sometimes I feel like I can't breathe." She moans as he thrust a little deeper and then he felt her body tensed. "Am I hurting you?" "Just a little." She whispers with a wince.

He pulls out gently and used his other skills to finish the task; two orgasms later she sighs contentedly against his chest. "Feeling alright?" He asks massaging her stomach. "Yes but I could really go for some of those strawberries dipped in chocolate right now." Getting off the bed he got the bowls of strawberries and warm melted chocolate and got back in bed beside her, he feeds her with some of them, after which he spread some of the chocolate over her chest and nipples and began licking it off.

She purrs and moans with ecstasy as he ran his tongue over her body. "You're a naughty boy, Mr. Maxwell." She moaned as his tongue moves lower. "I know." He chuckles. "But you're even naughtier than I am Mrs. Maxwell." "You got that right and in a few minutes I'll show you just how naughty I can be." She moans. "Bring it on beautiful." And bring it she did.

Within a few minutes, he couldn't even think straight, all he could do was close his eyes and ride on the waves of ecstasy that were pouring from him. After a while, she brought him slowly back down to reality, lay next to him, and nibbled on his ear and neck while gently running her fingers over his chest. "Wow…. you're…. good." Gabriel gasps.

"I thought I was amazing?" She pouts. "Oh you're, trust me you're, in more ways than one and since you have sweat those strawberries and chocolate out of me, I think we should go enjoy some of that delicious food you have over there." He suggests. "Okay."

"We're going to have to sit up for a while after we're done eating all this, so how about a movie?" He asks as he puts his plate down and helps her into her robe. "Fast and Furious 2?" she asks leaning against him. "Hell yeah." He said kissing her lips. 'So did you like your surprise?" She asks. "Like isn't the word I would use baby girl; I absolutely love my surprise." He said biting his lips. "Good because I have one more." She said seductively. "Really?" "Oh yeah, now close your eyes."

She went over to the warmer and took up a slice of sweet chocolate cake and took it over to him. "Open those beautiful lips of yours." She commanded and he did; she then put a piece of the cake in his mouth. "Mmm oh my…., is this what I think it is?" He asks running his tongue over his lips. "Hmm, sweet chocolate cake; my favorite." He moans in a deep soft sexy voice.

Taking the plate from her he put another forkful in his mouth. "Oh my…. Oh my…. Best wife ever, have I told you how much I love you?" He asks softly and she gave him a sweet smile. "Yes you have but I don't mind hearing it again. "Then how about I show you instead." "Even better, you can show me while you dance with me."

She stretches out her hand and he took it and pulls her gently against him. She began singing the last of the song that was playing. (Do that to me one more time, I can never get enough of a man like you). She repeats the line two more times before the song ends. Another song began and when it reaches the chorus he began singing to her.

(You're more than wonderful, more than amazing, the irreplaceable love of my life,). After repeating the line one more time he tilts her face up towards him and looks into her eyes. "You know you're irreplaceable don't you?" "I am?" "Yes, you are, and don't ever forget it." They dance to three songs and were in the middle of the fourth when she looks up at him and smiled. "I would love to watch that movie now if you don't mind." "Otherwise meaning; my legs hurt and I want to sit down?" He laughs. "Exactly." She giggles. "Okay then, let's go sit for a while." He said.

"Wait, I need the strawberries and the chocolate and the rest of this chocolate cake." She said taking the things from the table. Gabriel snorts and arches his brow. "You're not talking about my sweet chocolate cake are you?" "Oh I see, so that's how it is huh?" "Sorry baby girl but this is mine and I ain't sharing." He said taking the plate from her. She put her hands on her hips and scowls at him. "Fine you can have it; I have another slice over here." "Oh really? You know I was only joking about not sharing right? So um….. Can I have a piece of yours?" He pouts. "Yeah right; in your dreams lover boy." She laughs as she left the room.

They snuggle together on the large black sofa and watch the movie, although he spends most of the time nibbling her neck and ear and kissing her than watching the movie, it was two-thirty am by the time the movie was over and she was beginning to look a little sleepy. "Ready for bed baby girl?"

"Yeah I'm, could we go back to our special room?" "Sure." On reaching the room he put the things he was carrying on the table. "Do you want me to take the rest of the food down to the kitchen?" "Yes please." Diane turns the TV on and lay on the bed playing with the rose petals while Gabriel took the food to the kitchen. Within a few minutes, he was back carrying two bottles of water.

"I thought you might need this after all that chocolate. And I was thinking that we should have a short prayer session before we go to sleep." He suggests lying beside her. "I agree but later." "Later? But I thought….." "I said I was ready for bed, I didn't say I was ready to sleep, I've something a little more interesting in mind." She whispers taking up the bottle of oil. "Hmm, I love the sound of that."

He stretches and open his eyes and look at the clock on the wall and saw that it was ten-thirty am. Diane was still asleep because they didn't actually go to sleep until about four this morning; he gently rests his head on her stomach and could hear the babies moving around, one of them pushes against his ear. "The both of you are like energy bunnies, don't you ever sleep?" He whispers to her stomach; he then pulls the cover over her breasts and got out of bed, after brushing his teeth and washing his face he put on his sweats and hit the gym for an hour.

He then went to the kitchen and made himself a glass of Supligen, eggs, and oats with raw peanut after which he made breakfast for the both of them and took it back up to the room. She was still asleep so he put the breakfast in the warmer and went to check his phone for missed calls and messages he then checks his emails.

He then took a shower and went to see if she was awake. She had just stepped from the bathroom when he enters the room. "Good afternoon sleepy head." She stretches sleepily as she walks over to him. "I can't believe it's afternoon already." She whispers in a sleepy voice and kisses him softly. "How are you feeling?" He asks against her lips. "Hungry, I need hot Milo." She pouts and he smiled at her, took her hand in his, and put her to sit on the bed. He then took the breakfast from the warmer.

"I have your hot Milo right here, along with sausages, eggs, and waffles with lots of syrup." "Mmm sounds delicious, aren't you suppose to be at church right now hosting the Christmas giveaway?" She asks. "Nope, I've supplied them with everything they need, and pastor and a few of the missionaries are going to be doing the hosting."

"So you don't have to go over there?" "Not if I don't want to; do you want to go?" he asks. "Not really, I think I'll save my strength for church tomorrow." "Good because I was thinking that after breakfast we could go relax in the Jacuzzi for a while and then I was planning on spending the rest of the day pampering my beautiful wife."

"You mean your fat wife with swollen ankles?" She pouts. "Well the doctors did say that you gaining weight is a natural part of being pregnant with twins but if there's anything I can do to make carrying these babies a little more tolerable for you, please let me know." "And once again I've forgotten what a wonderful husband you are."

"Listen, baby girl, I know that it must be very uncomfortable for you to move around with these babies inside of you, I've read all the books I could find about carrying twins, I've watched the documents and I've researched it on the internet and I learned that a lot of complications can occur when a woman is carrying twins, and I'm so grateful to God for carrying you to almost seven months without a single complication." He said massaging her stomach. "But as the due date draws closer I would be lying if I said I wasn't scared for you but I also know that the birth of these babies are in God's hands and I trust him a hundred percent to bring them safely into this world."

She puts the tray beside her and took his hands in hers and massages them gently while she gave him small kisses all over his face. "Don't worry baby, everything will be okay." She whispers while nibbling on his ears. "I know baby but every now and then fear gets the better of me."

A few minutes later she took a quick shower and after a half-hour Bible and prayer session they went and relax in the Jacuzzi for an hour. After which they went downstairs for a snack. Gabriel was in the process of washing the dishes they had used when the gate buzzer rang, drying his hands he switch on the monitor that leads to the camera at the gate and saw that it was Diane's sister Doreen. He buzzed the gate open then went to open the front door for her.

She took two huge baskets from her van, rest one on the ground, and brought one to him then went back for the other one, "How are you?" She asks as they head to the kitchen. "I'm blessed and very happy right now." He replied. "You deserve it after everything you have done and everyone you've help; something would be very wrong if you weren't." She said with a smile.

"Hi little sis, how are you feeling today?" Doreen asks putting the basket on the counter. "I'm feeling great and very full at the moment, how about you?" "I'm good, I'm good, I know Jasmine is spending the weekend with Dana and Diana so you guys could have a little quiet time so I won't stay long, today is our customer's appreciation day and I just wanted to stop by and drop off these baskets because none of this would be possible if it wasn't for the both of you. They're just a little token from me and Desreen to say thank you."

"Thanks, Doreen, they look lovely. I'm sure we'll enjoy them. So how's the business coming along?" Gabriel asks. "Oh, we can't complain, business is great and again before I leave, I must say thank you for everything and enjoy the rest of your weekend." "Bye Doreen, thanks for the baskets, drives safely okay." 'I'll." Doreen gave her sister a big hug before leaving the house. Gabriel buzzes the gate and let her out then turns to Diane. "Want to go binge-watch series?" He asks.

"No, I want to play video games instead." "Ready for another beat down?" Gabriel laughs and sports his victory grin. "We'll see who is still laughing after I'm finished with you because I've been practicing." She said with an attitude. "Alright, then let's do this because there's nothing I love more than a challenge." He said cracking his knuckles; he was about to walk away but she pulls him back and wraps her hands around his neck.

"Thank you for being a wonderful husband and for allowing my sisters to open a wholesale on your plaza; rent-free and for buying them that van."

"You're welcome but the way I see it is that when your family is happy you're happy and my goal is to spend the rest of my life making you happy." He whispers against her lips. "I love you, baby boy." "I love you more." He whispers and covers her lips with his in a deep passionate kiss. "But I'm still going to give you a beat down at video game." He laughs against her lips.
