Arranged Marriage

Chapter 18

Thank you for waiting guys let's get into the story>>>>

Author's POV

Fourth's pregnancy was in its fourth month, He continued going to his workplace, performing his work, and attending meetings as normal even though his small bump was now noticeable. Fourth and Gemini kept the news of their pregnancy a secret from their parents since they realized it would be useless given they don't give a damn about them.
Fourth and their baby received more of Gemini's attention, and Gemini started looking up parenting-related journals and articles. Fourth was never allowed to feel uncomfortable or depressed, and Gemini always made an effort to keep him happy. Fourth was also advised not to put too much pressure on himself when it came to his office work, and Gemini assisted Fourth whenever he could.

Similar to today, both were enjoying the weekend at their humble house. Fourth and Gemini were chatting about their future plans while relaxing in the backyard. Fourth was resting on Gemini's chest as he was seated on the blanket that was spread out under the tree.
"Gem, what do you want a boy or a girl," Fourth asked smiling cheerfully
"I'm fine with anything baby I just want to see him/her soon. I want to take care of them and love them just like I do to you"Gemini said kissing Fourth's forehead lightly
"Gem, the baby is hungry," Fourth said caressing his belly Gemini raised his brows
'He just ate a whole pizza how is he hungry so early' Gemini thought in his head
"Gem..."
"Huhh....yes yess baby but didn't you eat a large pizza just half an hour ago how are you hungry so early," Gemini asked confused
"That was for me but now baby is hungry do you want our baby to starve," Fourth asked with a small voice it seems like he was about to cry any moment.
"No not at all baby, what do want my Love I'll bring it for you, " Gemini said soothing the other.
"Really... I want Blueberry flavored ice cream with cheese and sauce," Fourth said in one go smiling from ear to ear.
'Oh, the mood swings are as quick as light, but how is he going to eat it with cheese and sauce, eww?'
"Please wait for a minute na, I'll bring it for you," Gemini said patting his hair and Fourth nodded like a child.

With two scoops of Blueberry Flavored ice cream, cheese, and sauce in two distinct bowls, Gemini delivered everything that was instructed to him and placed it in front of Fourth.
Fourth's mouth watered as he observed the items. He drizzled the sauce over the ice cream and generously sprinkled cheese on top. Gemini was simply observing his baby. He gave a small head shake and grinned at how messy his husband was with ice cream all over his lips. Gemini took the tissue and wiped his mouth when Fourth looked at him and asked, "Do you want to have it?"Fourth asked with puppy eyes and a small pout.
"No you should have it I brought it for you, "Gemini said gulping as he didn't want to eat this weird food combination he knew his baby's cravings.

At night

Gemini was preparing dinner as Fourth sat on the kitchen counter.
"GemGem I wanna cuddle, "Fourth said in a cute voice
"But baby I'm cooking for us how will I cuddle now"Gemini said
"You can do it afterwards na I wanna cuddle right now," He said softly
"But Baby..."
"You don't love me anymore that's why you don't wanna cuddle with me I know I'm fat now you must be hating me now did you find someone more beautiful than me is that what it is..."Fourth said fuming in anger
"Baby what are you saying I love you just you how can I love someone else and you are beautiful as it is I don't need anyone else," Gemini said cupping Fourth's cheeks
"No, if you love me you would cuddle with me. I'm going to sleep you just keep cooking your dinner," he said and got down to go to his room.
"Baby...Love......it's not like that" Going behind him, Gemini pleaded, but Fourth shut the door in his face, "Sleep in the hall, and don't dare enter the room with the spare keys." He spoke authoritatively.
"Baby please let me in, let's cuddle okay I'll cuddle with you come on open the door for me bubs" Gemini pleaded
"Go away" Fourth shouted

Gemini sat next to the door, resting his head on the wall, knowing that these were just Fourth's mood swings and that they would pass in no time. He didn't know when he fell asleep in the same position in which he got up after some time as the position was uncomfortable, but he felt something heavy on his left side and opened his eyes to see his loving husband all cuddled up beside him, trying to fit in his arms.
Gemini smiled at his baby antics he knew Fourth can't sleep without him by his side he kissed Fourth's forehead.
Gemini carefully placed Fourth on the bed alongside him before lying down next to him and giving him a strong embrace. Fourth tightened his grip on Gemini's waist and put his head on his chest as the two of them slept off blissfully in each other's arms.

The next day Gemini got up early and made breakfast for both of them. Fourth also got up after some time got ready for his office and came down.  when Gemini saw him coming down he went to Fourth and hugged him kissing his cheeks lightly, "Good morning baby"
"Good morning Gem, I'm sorry for last night."Fourth smiled at him
"Oh baby it was my fault just forget it let's have breakfast come on" and Gemini guided Fourth to the dining table they had their breakfast peacefully and Gemini dropped Fourth at his office.

Gemini's POV

Right now I'm at my office doing my work I miss my baby already
Ring...Ring......
I heard my phone ring I thought it was Fourth but it was the person I least expected to call me, it was my Father anyway I just picked it up
"Hello," I said in an uninterested tone
"Hello Gemini I need you to come home today right now," my father said
"Why is it something important?" I asked
"Just come home," he said
"I don't have time, "I said bluntly
"You don't have any other option just come home now it's an order," he said and hung up
I took my coat and went to the parking lot I should go there fast as I have to pick up Fourth at 5 pm I don't wanna be late to pick him up just because of these so-called parents of mine.

I reached their mansion in no time and parked my car got down and ring the doorbell.
"Good morning young master" Uncle Joe said
"I told you to just call me Gemini Uncle, how are you," I said smiling at him. he works here for the last 20 years he is like a father figure to me.
"I'm fine Son, how are you and your husband," he asked me
"We both are happy uncle," I said cheerfully
"That's good, come on Your parents are waiting for you," he said
"Is it something serious?" I asked
"I don't know Son," he said
I went to the living room and sat on the single couch in front of my parents
"Ohh glad you are here how are you and your husband," my mother asked
"Don't pretend that you care just get to the point" I said
"We are waiting for someone.....oh here they are," she said
I turned around and saw Fourth's parents coming towards the living room, what are they doing here I thought.
"How are you Gemini and how is your pregnant husband," Fourth's mother asked I wasn't shocked about them knowing of Fourth's pregnancy.
"We are perfectly fine and I don't have all the time in the world," I said a bit rudely
"Okay as you wish, Divorce Fourth," my mother said
"WHAT?" I got up from my seat
"Yes, you heard me right. Divorce Fourth and that's an order," my mother said, is she even in her right state of mind divorce Fourth no never that's never gonna happen.
"You said it for the first and last time, I will not divorce him ever," I declared as I picked up my car keys and walked out.

Author's POV

Fourth, on the other hand, wanted to meet Gemini and decided to surprise him, so he called a cab and went to the parking lot. He felt like someone was following him, but he ignored those feelings and continued walking. However, the next thing he knew, someone had placed a handkerchief over his mouth, and he lost consciousness.
