Chapter193: kicking

Time had moved really fast and a month and a few weeks had already passed. Alex and I had had a very peaceful life and even though I couldn't go outside because it was still not safe for me to go alone, but that didn't mean I it wasn't peaceful in the mansion. My Alex was not hurt and apparently nobody was hurt, everybody was living their lives normally and that is all for me to say my life is peaceful.

My baby bump was so big now I couldn't even bend and Alex kept teasing me about it. I had become fat too but that is normal I guess for every pregnant lady. 

Not much had changed though, my friends were being the annoying friends I've always had but really helpful when I needed them. My siblings that is Liam and Sheebalie, were really trying to connect with me and so did I but the bond can't beat the one I had with my friends.

Mom had gotten better but she was still in rehab. It's great she now accepted everything because right now she's doing a lot better and she's also trying her best to be able to connect with Liam and Sheebalie who have come to love her so much. They have been like best friends and even though I feel jealous about that, I'm happy for them and my mom too.

You may be wondering what really happened to me and my dad. Well, nothing really happened because after the many times that Alex has convinced me to talk to him, I still haven't found the right time to do that. I'll do it soon though. Not finding the right time has always been my excuse but the real truth is I wasn't just ready and I know I had a lot of time to be ready but I'm not.

Not when Anderson has been like the cause of my problems in life. I don't know when I will be ready. My mom has been talking to him even though I told her not to. She just keeps telling me to let everything go but I feel like I can't. I'm the kindest person around but this is one thing that I have refused to let go.

Alex's parents and grandpa have been calling frequently to check on me. Before they left for Los Angeles, grandpa had given me some gift which I have never opened till date. He said that I open it when I want but I haven't. I don't know what I am still waiting for but I'll open it. I just wanted to enjoy the little peace I have experienced for the last month or so. I know grandpa's gift isn't gonna disrupt my peace or something but I just feel like the gift is a big deal because when he was giving me I saw how his face turned to be sad for a second. 

"Baby, why aren't you asleep yet?"Alex's voice disrupted me from the memories I was remembering. He was all healed now, his wound left a scar but it was all healed up.

"I was waiting for you plus Ocean is keeping me company."I said and Alex looked at my new best buddy Ocean who was sleeping beside me snuggling up to me. Oh, I forgot to say, Ocean will officially be living with us. That time that grandpa and Alex's parents had visited, well more like came to check up on Alex, they came with Ocean and when they were going back I really had to convince Alex so that they don't take Ocean with them. I really liked this dog and I couldn't imagine him going back and parting from it again. 

"Ocean.... get away from my wife."Alex yelled and I chuckled because instead of Ocean listening to him he snuggled even closer." This is why I really didn't want him to be left behind. He's always taking my space and I feel like throwing him out of the house but then I remember you'll be sad so I just stop myself."Alex whined and I looked at him smiling while I caressed Ocean's soft white fur.

"You know you look really cute whining like that."I told him giggling and Ocean barked supporting my statement. See, we always have this understanding and he always agrees with me.

"I'm not whining."Alex said and I raised a brow at him."I'm not."he added.

"Whatever helps you sleep at night honey. Now where is my chocolate?"I asked him and he looked at me mischievously. Whatever the hell is cooking in his brain isn't good at all.

"If you want your chocolate, I want Ocean out now. I'm not sleeping with him there. You tell him to go since he only listens to you. I just can't believe I raised him to betray me like this."he said and I frowned. I didn't want Ocean to go but he gotta go. I need the chocolate furthermore, he doesn't sleep in our bed , he has his where he sleeps in.

"Fine."I said then I looked at Ocean and I carressed the top of Ocean's head." Sorry buddy but I gotta see you tomorrow in the morning."I said and he looked at me with those cute doggy eyes and I looked away. I can't be tricked by them. I took a silent deep breath then I looked at him really serious." Ocean, it's time for bed. You know what to do. We can't fit in here furthermore, your bed is more comfortable."I said and he whined buy he slowly got up and jumped down from the bed." Good night Ocean."I said but he left without looking at me. He's mad but he'll get over it.

"That's better."Alex said closing the door and locking it.

"Now, where the hell is my chocolate?"I asked extending my hand in front of me so that he can put it on it. He looked at me then he he removed his t-shirt and got in bed with me." Alex...."I called him when he snuggled up to me instead of giving me my chocolate.

"Stefan said you can't eat more chocolates. You have been eating them a lot lately and it's not good for your health baby so there's no chocolate for you."he said and I frowned.

"Stefan also said that I should minimize not completely stop eating and I have not eaten one today."I said and Alex smiled and kissed my forehead.

"Oh really baby, you are becoming a very good liar nowadays but I am your husband and I can smell the lie from here. Are you sure you have not eaten any chocolate today? Because that's not what the butler said."Alex said.

"Damnit Samuel. I told him not to tell you anything. Guess he can't keep his mouth shut."I said Sulking but at that moment I cried out loud.

"What's wrong?"Alex asked with a panicked voice.

"They just kicked. God, they've not kicked the whole day."I said keeping my hand on my bulging belly. Alex too brought his hands on it a d he looked at me.

"That are not kicking now." He said disappointed. He always loves feeling them kick. It's like it has been his obsession since they started kicking." Oh... baby, I feel them now. How I have missed my angels."he said smiling when they kicked again.

We stayed like that feeling them kicking. I couldn't sleep with them kicking not to forget Alex's talking nonstop to the the poor things in my belly. When they stopped, I was really tired and sleepy so I just slept.
