A ROYAL SURPRISE

🎀Chapter 34🎀

"One person can make you feel something in just a short time where another person could never make you feel in the longest. Love knows no time, but it knows connection"

*~*~*

Merry Christmas!

That phrase that is said on the 25th of December each and every year on Christmas day.

Lucky for me, on this wonderful day, I snap my eyes open and turn in bed, relishing in the wonderful feeling I get due to the warmth I'm receiving from Ale's body. He's so fit but so soft.

I rest my head on his chest, my eyes now wide open, knowing there's no way I'm going to sleep again.

I use my finger to intentionally trace circles on his stomach, till he stirs, and I laugh at how cute he looks when he's waking up.

"It would be amazing to wake up to such a beautiful sound everyday darling" Ale says, pecking me on the lips. His words cause my heart to skip a beat, because I'm thinking, maybe he probably sees a future with us?

What a future that would be.

"How did you sleep?" I ask him, nuzzling my face in his neck while his arms are draped around me.

"With you and I in the sleep bed, I slept as though my head was resting on the clouds" he says and I laugh, and he also can't help but chuckle

"You flutter me" I say with a grin on my lips

"It's part of my life goals where you are concerned" he winks and I shake my head at his antics.

His hand finds its way unto to stomach, my now visible bump, where everyone will be able to detect that I'm pregnant because I'm now four months in.

I always used to say that truth is like pregnancy, no matter what you do, is always going to come out.

However, the statement has never felt so true until now.

"You are coming along beautifully. It's almost amazing" he says and tears well in my eyes, tears I try to hide. "We should go and get a scan, I know you haven't gone yet. I can always go with you. I would love to" he says and he looks into my eyes, but his smile falters and falls when he sees the tears in my eyes "Why are you crying love? Did I say anything wrong to offend you?"

"No no. Please, no" I pause, wiping the tears that managed to slip "Why though? Why are you so concerned about a child that isn't yours? Why are you willing to accept me, this baby, us so easily?"

"Because I love you" he say and my eyes flare open at his confession. If I remember correctly, five days ago I was thinking about the same thing, only difference is, I was thinking of me loving him. "I love you Eufy. A lot more than I'm willing to let on, because I'm yet to understand why I feel so deeply about you. And as far as I love you, I love this child as well. Eufy this baby is very innocent. And I believe the strongest thing you've ever done and will ever do is finding the courage to accept this child, not minding the circumstances" he says and more tears fall out, where he brushes them away so softly with his thumb, as though wiping off water from soft delicate flowers.
