Sky's POV

With each passing day, I feel like I'm passing a milestone and achieving something great in life which I didn't even feel during all these years of hard work and numerous acknowledgements from the business world. But now, I'm feeling it. And the whole credit goes to my one and only husband, Eco Walker. Yes, it's him.

Eco doesn't have any weird food cravings but his mood swings are beyond ones imagination. I regret saying that he's normal. He's far from normal but can't even categorise him as weird because that'll be an understatement. Just none knows what goes on in his mind, including himself.

"Damn! This cat is becoming more lazy day by day." Eco's voice snaps me out of my thoughts.

I look at him and see him holding the sleeping cat in his lap. The cat is happily resting on his baby bump. Eco is watching some TV series. It's the habit that he developed recently. Watching is not bad but his choice is. He picks the most dramatic shows and puts those in actions in real life, literally experimenting on us, especially on me.

"Baby, sleep." I tell him because it's past sleeping time but he's still watching the show.

"Just 10 minutes more, this episode will finish and I'll sleep." He replies to me but his focus is on the TV.

"Which episode is this?" I ask him.

"Episode 10." He mumbles.

"And you keep saying this one episode since you were at episode 5." I sigh out.

"It's the last, I promise." Promises are meant to be broken, especially Eco's promises, that to very pregnant Eco.

"One last and then I'll be the one to turn off the TV. I won't listen to excuses." I warn him sternly.

Along with him, I wait for the episode to finish and when it does, he himself turns off the TV. He gets up and puts the cat in his bed before walking to our bed, he's waddling actually. It kinda looks funny but cute and adorable most. He keeps saying he feels as if he's carrying not one but many babies and complain that our baby is fat. Knowing his mood swings, I don't take his words to heart since it's all pregnancy part that's speaking. When he reaches the bed, I jump down and help him get on the bed as I lift him up and put him on the bed myself.

"Thank you, baby. I felt like I was climbing a mountain." He thanks me but I shake my head at his words as I too lay down next to him.

Being tired of day's activities, we both close our eyes and drift off to sleep immediately. During the middle of the night, I hear someone sobbing. At first I don't pay attention and try to sleep. But soon the sobs become loud and clear. It wakes me up from my sleep immediately when I remember about very pregnant Eco. Is he the one that's crying? I open my eyes and look at him, it confirms my doubt because he's really crying. I turn on the night lamp and move closer to him.

"Baby, what's wrong? Are you feeling any pain?" I ask him worriedly.

"Baby..." He wails while pulling my nape down and hugging me, "why is Juli so stubborn? She didn't go out on a date with Aan which made him angry and they broke up because of that."

Imagine my shock when I hear his words and realise it's a scene from the series he was watching and he's actually crying because of it? At midnight. Crying for a series. What should I do? I feel like by the end of his pregnancy, I'll go crazy instead of him. I sigh and exhale before seperating from the hug and come face to face to him.

"Baby, it's just a series. Don't take it to heart and cry because of it. It's 2 in the midnight, please sleep and let me sleep." I plead him.

"But Baby I'm hungry." He shows his puppy eyes and pouting lips.
