Sorry it's been so long guys! There is a lot going on right now and some difficult things I have to deal with so I can't update that much. This chapter is short again, and again a filler. I'm building up to the birth, but that will happen soon!
A few days later...
After we had returned, Serkan and I decided to keep living together. Even though I said I wanted to take it slow, our bonding time proved that that was unnecessary. We loved each other and we wanted to be together, especially for our child that was soon to be born. Normally, we worked together and therefore saw each other during the day and still didn't want to be apart in the evenings. But now I was at home for the last few weeks of my pregnancy and I was bored out of my mind. I couldn't wait to go back to work. I had talked to Serkan about me working from home, but he said I needed to relax. As the hours went by, I couldn't take it anymore and I decided to call Serkan. "Eda? What is it? Is something wrong? Is it the baby?" He says before I can say anything. "No, the baby is fine Serkan. Just bored". "Bored?" "Yes and hungry". "And hungry?" "Yes". He sighs. "Can you please come home and bring me some fries?" "Eda". He sighs again. "Please". "Eda, I have a lot of work to do and I want to be home at a decent hour". "Please" I beg him. "Eda, I can't". Tears well in my eyes and I sniff. "Okay". "Eda? Are you crying?" "No, I'm not". Even though you can hear it. "Okay, fine. I'll come bring you some fries". "Really?" I sniff. "Yes. We can have lunch together and then I'll go back". "Okay, sounds good". "Okay, then I'll go and pick you up some fries and then you'll see me in 20 minutes". "Okay good and Serkan?" "Yes?" "Can you pick me up some ice cream too?"
A few days later..
I was awoken by some gentle shaking. I opened my eyes to see Serkan standing above me. "Hey" I smile at him. I had fallen asleep on the couch reading a book. I was getting tired a lot now. "Hey". "What time is it?" "Just a little after five". "You're home early today". "Yes, I wanted to surprise you". "With what?" I say as I sit up. "Well, my dear wife. Would you like to go on a date with me?" "With you always. What are we doing? Where are we going?" "We're going out for dinner on the yacht. We haven't done that in a while". I smile. "That sounds amazing. I better get ready then".
2 hours later...
We arrived on the boat and it was beautifully decorated with candles and rose petals. "Serkan did you do all this?" "I did". "This is too much" I say with tears in my eyes. My emotions were in over overdrive now. "Nothing is too much for you" he says as he kisses my head. We sat down for dinner and had an amazing date. After we had gotten home, we decided to drink something before turning in. Serkan puts down the tea and also hands me bowl. I look at him confused. "It's ice cream" he says. I immediately smile. The ice cream cravings had been insane lately. He sits down and says: "I wanted to talk to you about something". "Okay". He grabs my legs and puts them over his lap and starts rubbing my feet. I start eating the ice cream as I wait for him to say something. "I've to go to Italy". "What?" I immediately stop eating the ice cream. "For how long?" "A few days". "A few days?" I say in shock. "When?" "Friday". "Friday?" "That's in three days!" "Yes". "Why didn't you say anything before?" "Because I didn't want to upset you". "Damn right I'm upset. You're leaving when I could go into labor anytime". "If that happens I'll get back on a plane immediately. Commercial for all I care! I'll make it back". "Yes? Well you also said that the last time. When we were getting married!". "Please, understand". "I understand that this company means more to you than me". "That's not true. Didn't tonight prove that. I love you, but I have to do this. This is my job. I'll make it back in time I promise". Tears are streaming down my face and I'm battling with myself. "Fine. You can go, but if you don't make it back in time I swear to god, you won't ever see another child of yours born" I threaten. He just laughs and shakes his head. He hugs me and says: "okay. We've got a deal".
3 days later...
We were at the airport as I was saying goodbye to Serkan. "I'll miss you" he says as he hugs me. "I'll miss you too. Please make it back this time". "I promise I will". He kisses the top of my head before kissing me passionately. Then he walks away and tears are streaming down face. Memories of that day come back to me and I've trouble containing myself. After the plane takes off, I walk away towards the exit, but I can't keep the dark thoughts from my mind.
