Chapter 66

"And slowly let yourselves as your partner stabilizes you," the instructor on the TV said. He hooked his arms under mine

" ooo this feels good." I spread my feet further apart like I'm going in a wide squat. "Why didn't we think to do this earlier babe?" He chuckled as I rotated my hips easing some of the tension in my lower back.

We moved into the next position that was meant to help with labor. I got on all fours as he pushed some pillows under me. He raised my hips a bit and then started to apply pressure to the side.

"You know, we haven't talked about where I'm gonna give birth." He hummed and started to massage my lower back.

"What were you thinking?"

"At first I was all for the hospital but I want to do a home birth."

"I'm not opposed to it I just want to know why."

"If you're gonna be helping me I want you to be able to and not get shouted at by a doctor. I also don't want unnecessary medical intervention." He leaned down and kissed the back of my neck. I smiled and reached back to pat the side of his thigh.

"So you've come around to me catching our children?" I chuckled

"catching- Aahil, this isn't football." He laughed

"Habibti, we both watched that video that baby flew out. I'm surprised the doctors even caught them!" Normally it's the wife saying 'hey, let's do this to prepare' and most of the time I am the one to initiate those things but never did I think to watch a birthing video. It was his idea and boy was I shocked.

"You know you deserve a kick!" I said in a firm tone

"Why what did I do?" he asked in a dramatic voice while massaging my hips

"You feed me too much and you just reminded me I have to push these chunky babies out!" I whined and he chuckled rubbing my back in the process.

"Yes, but they are healthy and that's what matters." I hummed, shooing off his comment but he was right. He leaned over and kissed me on the cheek

"Now that you mention it I have a property that no one uses we could do it there."

I nodded my head I would consider it there were a lot more things that now needed to be planned since I decided on the home birth. And if it was a different property I would have a lot more cleaning to do to get ready.

"Why doesn't anyone stay there?"

I mean unless it's a vacation home then I would understand but if not, then it's just collecting dust

"That was going to be my house it's on royal grounds but my mom insisted that I stay here in the main palace. Don't get me wrong, though, it's nice living here everything is convenient but it might be time to separate work from my personal life."

It made complete sense I don't know how he didn't crack with technically not having a break. Everything is in one place even if it's on the other side of the palace he's still there.

" I guess it's a good thing we didn't set anything up yet." I chuckled, "I will say though I'll miss them when we move."

But I won't miss the random animals popping up while I'm trying to nap.

"I will too, but we will still be near everyone. It will just be a drive. I know my mom meant well by wanting us to all stay together but it's time, especially after everything."

I lifted my arm using the couch to lift me up. " Come here for a second," he said as he pulled me back towards him.

" I know we have been taking pictures frequently but I want one to take with me." I smiled and looked back at him.
