Ch. 30 : Beach Trip

Gulf's POV

Yeayyyyy~ After few weeks of struggling with my thesis, it's finally done. Now, I only wait for the thesis defence. All these thank to my hubby and my bestie who have accompanied me. Oh, right! I also found out my baby's gender and she is a girl! I am excited, yet worried at the same time. Can I be a good Papa for her? But, you have to know about her daddy. Since we knew we got a princess, he became more protective. He keeps me close to him everyday. Stick with me like a glue. Just like now. I'm just staying here in his office because he doesn't want me to be alone at home. He doesn't even accept any work out of town or abroad. No matter how important it is, he will find another solution. I'm not complaining though. I'm happy because he is here with me. Having him by my side makes me feel secured.

"Phi, pee pee..."

"Hm? Are you calling me?"

"Pee pee..."

"Yes? I'm answering you, baby. Do you need something?", I chuckle because his eyes are still fixed on those documents.

"I. Want. To. Pee-pee."

"Ohhh~ I thought you were calling me..."

"No! I'll just go there myself!"

Geez... Annoying! Doesn't he know I can't hold this too long since I'm pregnant? I climb down the bed, wear my slipper, and go to bathroom. After I'm done with my business, I stand in front of the mirror. My baby bump is showing. Khun Mae and Mama say it's bigger than normal for five months pregnancy. I'm worried at first. But, P'Mild told me that my princess is growing healthily inside. For you, Papa doesn't mind at all to struggle like this. As long as you are healthy. Eat a lot and sleep a lot na, princess~

DUG!

"Akh!", I wince.

What was that? My tummy feels hurt. I don't eat something wrong, right?

DUG! DUG!

"AKH!"

Wait, something is kicking my tummy. I gasp. My princess! I put my hand on the baby bump.

DUG! DUG!

Yes, it's her! Oh my god, how can a little moment like this make me want to cry? Princess, are saying hello to Papa now? Are you happy inside? Please grow well naa~ And, let's surprise daddy! You want to say hi to daddy, right?

I come out from bathroom with a mission. I want to see his reaction. I think he will cry out loud when he knows this. I go to his desk and sit on his laps. Circling my arms around his neck. He immediately wraps my waist and rubs it slowly. He must be thinking I got backache again. I giggle. Do it now, princess!

DUG!

I wince. It's startling, but I'm happy because this means my baby is healthy inside. She must be excited right now. She kicks non-stop. I lift my face to see his reaction. He freezes. With his shocked face and teary eyes.

"B-B-B-Baby...", he stutters.

"Can you feel her? She is saying hi to you~"

"Sobs... She is kicking... Sobs... Our princess is kicking~", I chuckle while wiping his tears.

"You will be real daddy in four months and you still cry like a baby? Ohoooo~"

"And you love this crybaby, right?"

"Do I?", I raise my right eyebrows playfully.

"Of course! If you don't love me, how could we get this princess, hm?", I giggle.
