Week 18
"'atamanaa 'an takuna kilakuma tubli bala'an hsnaan fi eadam 'iieta' walidatik alkathir min almataeibi." (I hope you two are doing good in there not giving your mom too much trouble.)
I kept my eyes closed trying to eavesdrop on the cute moment Aahil was having by himself.
Lately, I find him either talking to my belly or massaging shea butter on it.
" I love you guys soooo much and can't wait to meet you but stay inside you have a lot more growing to do." Hearing the container open and the smell hit my nose I knew he was beginning the belly rubs. I didn't mind it felt very good kind of like a mini massage.
Words couldn't even describe how much I appreciate him being too involved.
"Habibti, I know you're not sleeping," I smirked and opened my eyes.
His gaze was focused on rubbing in the moisturizer. "How did you know?"
He scoffed and looked at me. " I know when you're sleeping and when you're awake that little nose thing you do gives it away when you wake up."
"What nose thing!" He placed both of his hands on my bump still looking at me.
"You wiggle your nose like this." He imitates me moving his nose like the woman from bewitched.
" I do not do that Aahil." I chuckled
"Yeah okay, and I'm a virgin." I gasped playfully
"You're a virgin babe why didn't you tell me?" He muttered something in Arabic making me chuckle.
" And you say I play too much."
"You do", he shook his head and continued moisturizing me. "What were you talking about?"
"That is a private matter."
"Private matter? Aahil!" He chuckled and pulled me closer by the legs.
" I was just checking in on them and saying how much I'm excited to see them." He placed his hands over my head and moved closer to my face.
"Oh, so you woke me up from my nap to give me a wonderful belly massage." I raised an eyebrow and he kissed my lips.
"Not intentionally, this was my time to bond." He smirked and kissed me again, "have you felt them move yet?"
I cupped his face and shook my head, "I should be soon though I was reading a blog post and I guess when you have multiples it takes you longer." He hummed and moved down to nuzzle his face into my neck.
"Mmm, the second you feel something let me know."
" I will don't worry what do we have planned for today?"
He lifted his head up, checked his watch, then proceeded to move back to my neck. "In two hours, we have your doctor's appointment that's long overdue for my liking."
He groaned and kissed my neck only to pull away from me. "Then for the rest of the day we have coronation planning, you have to get fitted for the dress."
"Well"
"Mhm, it's going to be a long day." He moved back down to my belly focusing back on his original task. " I'm gonna miss this," he said while looking up at me.
He smiled and gave my bump a small stroke with his thumb.
I reached for his hand which was free and lightly squeezed it.
" We still have time"
" four months isn't enough." He frowned with his eyes still fixated on my belly. He let out a deep sigh
