The Unwanted Marriage

Chapter 52

THEA

"When is your next appointment again?" Arthur slipped his hand behind my neck, and sled his other hand to my stomach.

After giving me 2 orgasms first thing in the morning, we laid down staring at the ceiling.

"Next Tuesday. Your mum texted me about it, apparently she couldn't wait to see her 3D grandchild on the screen again."

That made him laugh. "I can already picture her grinning while looking at the screen."

"You noticed that too?" I chuckled, remembering the time Elisa had this grin on her face the last time we did an ultrasound. "I think she's more excited about the baby."

"Yeah, it's nice to see my mum happy for us."

"Oh she is happy for herself too."

I rolled over to see the time. It was only 7 in the morning, still early for us to get up on a Sunday so we stayed in bed, holding each other arms. Arthur's other hand rubbed my baby bump gently, the thing he always did in the morning. Sometimes I still couldn't believe that I was carrying his child. 

Our child.

"What are you thinking about?"

I blinked and looked at him. "I'm just happy, on clouds even. I never thought I would be in this stage, pregnant with the love of my life's baby."

He smiled and kissed my nose. "I love you, Althea Williams. You have no idea how happy I am to have you as my wife. Every night I thank God for sending you to me, hell I'm not even so religious but I pray to Him to bless me with the chance to spend my lifetime with you."

I was overwhelmed with what Arthur just said. He never fails to make me happy and feel blessed, feel lucky to have him. He knew how to win my heart.

"You really do that? Every night?"

He nodded. "Every night. From the day I realized that I fell in love with you."

I didn't know what I did to deserve him. I was so blessed, so grateful, for everything in my life. "Wow, that's so.. sweet of you. Thank you, for being the best husband. I love you so much."

"Thank you, for loving me."

We spent the next few hours, tangled up in bed, just staring at each others and talking. That until Arthur hovered over me and we were back to consuming each others again. Even though I was heavily pregnant, Arthur was being gentle and careful with me. 

Too gentle, if I may add.

Arthur never directly told me this but I guessed he found it fascinating to make love to me while I was pregnant. Either because my libido got high during this trimester, or because my breasts had gotten bigger. Either way, I had no problem with that.

"I think we should get up." I announced once I caught my breath. Arthur collapsed on me, burying his face on the crook of my neck. He was still inside me. "I'm starving."

He was quiet for a moment, then slowly pulled out of me and kissed me. "Let's clean up first."

Arthur and I went to go another shopping, we still had a few things to buy for the baby. It was a quite busy day, the weather was really nice.

We were currently walking around the park, watching everyone doing their own business. Arthur had his arm wrapped around me securely, whenever some biker rode past us he would shield me, or when a dog ran towards us he would stepped ahead and protected me. The small gestures meant everything to me.
