Stupid Wife [Chaelisa]

39. The Big Day

Roseanne Park-Manoban's POV.

I am standing in front of a huge, comfortable sofa, a smile on my face, creating in my mind a visualization of this beautiful piece in my living room. It will be just perfect, I never thought that despite being stressful, it would also be comforting to buy things for home. Mainly being a new property, recently renovated. All the help we got from our family was essential, without them it would probably take us a few years to have a home like this.

"Is this the chosen one?" I hear my wife's voice beside me and quickly look in her direction. Lisa with one hand resting on her lower back, she has been feeling some pain as her belly has been growing. She will be completing her fifth month of pregnancy soon, and her physical change is remarkable. I didn't think I could fall even more in love with this woman, but those chubby cheeks and the increasingly visible belly make me even more surrendered. "The sofa, love. Did you choose this one?"

"Ah yes yes." I smile awkwardly, I hadn't realized that I had been standing there staring at her while I rambled on with myself. My eyes lock on Gabriel, who has his little hands on my wife's legs. He notices my gaze and quickly walks over to me, arms raised. A clear sign of those who say they want a lap. "You liked it?"

"Yes!"

The one who answers is Gabriel, with his lovely tongue still tangled. We both end up laughing, and I kiss his hair, which is getting more and more curled. For some reason he was born with beautiful curls at the ends, and he is simply the most beautiful thing in the whole world. My wife brings her hand up to our little one's head, lightly ruffling his hair.

"I loved it. I'm sure our guy will like it too."

Louis is spending the weekend in Thailand with Lisa's parents. I still couldn't get used to the fact that he was growing more and more. It was the first trip he had ever taken on his own, and I could hardly be calm until I was sure everything had gone well and my son was safe. Lisa was just as worried, we'd never let him go that far alone.We are very protective mothers, I am fully aware of that. I know I'm not supposed to smother my kids, but how could I not worry? I don't think I will ever fully cord the umbilical cord with any of them.

"I'm sure he'll like it, but not as much as you and this little boy here, right baby?"

Gabriel looks at me, knowing I'm talking about him. He opens a naughty smile and sticks the tip of his tongue out. From seeing his brother smiling that way so much, he ended up adopting the same mania. I like the way my kids get along even with the age difference, and Louis is excited for his sisters to arrive as well. My little one really loves being a big brother. I remember hearing him talk to Lisa's belly several times, even when she barely showed up, saying that he would protect Gabriel and the two of them from everything in this world.

I'm sure Lisa and I will never have to worry about our child. He will be a great man, we raised him to be a great man and I believe we are doing it masterfully.

"Few things are left now. Are you excited?"

Lisa questions as we get back to the car. I put on my seat belt and look through the rearview mirror to carefully exit the parking lot. We haven't moved yet, we've chosen to finish furnishing the whole new house before we do. It would be easier, I didn't want a mess and my pregnant wife in between. We're gonna rent the house we currently have with all the furniture inside, it will be easier and we will profit even more.

"Very. I'm finally living this moment. To be able to be here now, being able to choose everything and remember. It is just wonderful."

My wife places a hand on my thigh and squeezes, I don't even have to look at her to know she must be smiling. Lisa is so happy to see me so excited. It feels great to be able to furnish our new home and to be aware of it. In the current one, it seems strange because I have no memories of almost anything. It's like I've just been put in there and been living because the circumstances made me have to live like that.
