"No, no, baby, you're eating too little," Nicholas protested, looking at what was on Nathalie's plate. "Come on, eat whatever you want, not just for yourself, my love, but for our child too."
Nathalie pouted, though she was happy. "I can't eat much, honey, my stomach is so full."
Nicholas sighed and leaned toward Nathalie to whisper, "Next time you're not allowed to swallow it, if you do it before eating. It contains a lot of protein, that's why you feel full!"
"Huh?" Nathalie's eyebrows rose. "What am I not allowed to swallow?"
Nicholas took Nathalie's hand and brought it under the table, placing it on the bulge in the middle of his body.
Instantly Nathalie's face turned bright red and pulled her hand away, then pinched Nicholas' thigh lightly.
Nicholas laughed at Nathalie's awkward behavior. "Come on, eat this too. Just a little at a time."
Nathalie obeyed and ate the lasagna on her plate bit by bit.
