LOVE OR RICHES

Chapter 8

"Baby I'm home,I bought you sour mangoes!!" Mew exclaimed happily as he entered inside their small house but oddly the house was quiet

"Baby?? Gulf???" Mew's heartbeat increased

He quickly went to the room but didn't see Gulf anywhere until he heard a whimpering sound coming from the kitchen,he quickly went there only to see his heavily pregnant boyfriend on the floor

"Baby!!! What happened to you!!? Are you hurt!!!??" Mew shouted in fear as he squatted on the floor and held Gulf

"Babee..it's hurts a lot" Gulf whimpered

"But baby it's still a month from your due date" Mew panicked,he couldn't afford having any complications during his boyfriend's delivery

"I'm not in labour Mew,my waist hurts...I mistakenly fell on the floor" Gulf pouted and Mew heaved in relief but was still worried

"And what were you coming to the kitchen to do? I've told you to stay at a place till I get home to do or prepare whatever you want..why so stubborn mnn? What if something more harmful had happened to you,now you have hurt your waist" Mew slightly scolded

"But I just wanted to prepare something for you to eat before you're home,I miss cooking for you" Gulf meekly said which made Mew smile as he remembered how he taught Gulf how to cook but stopped him after he entered his sixth month of pregnancy

"Thanks baby boo,I appreciate it okay but don't do it again..I'm fine taking care of us..you're at a critical stage..I don't want anything to happen to you and our child okay" Mew said and he kissed Gulf who also complied

"Come on baby boo,I bought your favorite sour mangoes" Mew said and Gulf's eyes sparkled in glee

Mew carried Gulf to their room and lay him on their bed.

"Wait here baby,let me wash them properly for you" Mew said and left.

Coming back seconds later,he placed the bowl of sour mangoes before Gulf who started to happily consume them.

"Let me prepare dinner okay...I will be right back" Mew said and left.

Gulf started playing games on his phone while devouring his sweet sour mango,he felt fulfilled at the moment.

Half an hour later,Mew came back with the plates of food.

"Wow Jellof Spaghetti with vegetables and lots of meats!!" Gulf exclaimed in joy

"Yes baby,I bought a lot of meats just for you and our baby so eat a lot okay" Mew said while Gulf nodded enthusiastically which made Mew glad.

"I have good news baby" Mew said as he drank water to digest his food,Gulf who was still eating looked at him in excitement

"I got a work as a one of the cooks in a restaurant" Mew said but Gulf frowned,he swallowed his food before talking

"Another job?? But babe you're working at a factory in the morning and bar in the evening,what time would you have for yourself??" Gulf worriedly asked

"Don't worry about me baby,I'm happy to do any work as far as it would complete the money we're saving for your delivery. The restaurant work would start by 12pm-3pm which gives me an hour to myself before my work in the bar starts so don't worry okay,you're the one doing the harder job. You're carrying our baby at this age even though you aren't prepared at all for it,I'm thankful..I mean you could have aborted our child and married Tyler who would definitely have given you the best life but you chose to run away with me" Mew said at the verge of tears

"Mew stop saying that,you don't have to thank me or anything. I chose this life with you,we might not be rich but I am happy. Let's stop talking now and enjoy our meal" Gulf said and they both continued eating.

After eating,Mew insisted on washing the dishes which Gulf hesitated too but gave in at last.

Mew bathed Gulf before bathing himself,they dressed up before heading to bed.

Mew then massaged his boyfriend's waist and legs before he got very tired.

He immediately fell asleep as soon as he lay on the bed.

Gulf was just looking at Mew sadly,he was pained because of how stressed out Mew was looking for a boy of just seventeen years. He wished that Pong would visit them again and help them with some money so that Mew won't stress himself this way but they haven't heard from him since the day he brought them here.

"I'm so sorry babe..only if my parents accepted us,we wouldn't be living like this. You're getting leaner each day that passes. You go to the factory by 5am and work till 11:30pm,now you have gotten another job at a restaurant to work from 12pm till 3pm,after that you work at the bar from 4pm till 9pm just to get money for us,I wish I could help you..I'm such a useless boyfriend. You could have denied my pregnancy in other to continue having the good life you had at my father's mansion but you chose us...I appreciate everything and hope that one day God would bless your hard work" Gulf caressed his boyfriend's face and pecked his lips before joining him to sleep.

***********

The month quickly went by and so did the days till it was finally Gulf's delivery day. Mew was very happy that he managed to save up the amount needed for the delivery.

Gulf had to give birth through the Caesarean section as he couldn't give birth normally due to his age. His Pelvic bones weren't yet matured to stretch and bring the child out so he gave birth through C.S.

Mew was very happy and excited the first time he carried his little munchkin son,his son was so tiny and little,his skin was also tanned in complexion just like his and he got his mother's chestnut beautiful lips.

Gulf cried in joy when he awoke and carried his son,he thought he wouldn't make the nine months of his pregnancy,despite the stress,it was very worth it in the end.

"I can't believe we have a little us Mew,he's so so tiny and handsome..oii he has my lips" Gulf giggled

"Yes baby and he got my skin complexion...thanks for gifting me our precious son" Mew said but panicked when he suddenly saw Gulf crying again

"Are you hurt somewhere baby?? Wait let me call the doctor" Mew wanted to run out but was stopped by Gulf

"I feel a little bit pain but that's not the reason I'm crying. I just wish my p-parents were here with me,I wish they accepted us,they could have seen their grandson" said Gulf as he sniffed

"You don't have to cry baby,they chose not to support you,remember they wanted you to have an abortion so stop worrying about them and focus on healing fast okay,look our munchkin wants his mother's breast milk" Mew laughed as his son started whimpering before it turned to a full blown cry

Mew helped Gulf to unbutton his hospital gown,Gulf then latched his son's lips on his nipples whom started sucking the milk after a while.

"So what are we going to name him?" Mew asked

"I like Jason,let's name him that" Gulf answered as he smiled wide

"Since I don't remember my surname and never bothered to have one,let's name him Jason Mew.Jr (Junior) Kanawut" Mew said

"Jason Mew.Jr Kanawut,mnn I love it babe...kiss kiss" Gulf giggled and Mew sat beside and kissed him passionately.

"I really can't believe that we're already parents at the ages of sixteen and seventeen" Gulf giggled and Mew blushed.
