32. SWEETEST MOMENTS

(Warning: World's fluffiest chapter ahead!)

Six weeks later

"Bright?" I called. Hmm... To where did he disappear to... "Bright?? It's time to read the bedtime story!" I said aloud.

I made myself comfortable under the blankets and tucked a little pillow behind my back for extra support and comfort. My back was hurting really bad, and well... the bump was bigger than before. It was bigger than a balloon. Baby was growing.

"Hmm, you naughty Bubble. You are giving Mommy a really hard time here mm. Wonder where your daddy is now. He went missing after we came to bed, huh? Maybe he fell asleep somewhere." I talked to Bubble, touching my big belly.

"Meh. I disappeared only for a second, and you two are already searching for me." Bright came in, closing the door behind him. I flashed a smile excitedly and waited for him to switch off the lights first, only leaving the bedside light so he could read a fairy tale to Bubble.

"Yay, come quickly. I chose a Disney princess story today." I said, showing him a thick book which had the story along with beautiful pictures matching every scene. It was Snow White and the seven dwarfs.

"Not today, baby," Bright said, taking the book from my hands. He kept it away on his working table while I stared at him with a confused face.

"Why~? You don't want to Bubble to hear bedtime stories?" I whined, kicking the blankets from my body. Though my body was paining so badly, my stubbornness didn't leave me.

Bright gently put the blanket over me again, tucking me in. I felt like a burrito among the thick blankets.

"How about I take care of Mommy tonight?" he asked, caressing my hair. I closed my eyes the second his fingers touched my scalp. His long fingers slid through my hair, skillfully massaging there. "Where is it hurting now?"

"Mhm... mostly back and shoulders, Bright," I said in a low voice. I liked it when Bright noticed my pain and when he took care of it.

"Okay," Bright replied and left the room. I opened my eyes, waited alone for a few seconds, and he came back with the rubber hot water bag. Closing the door behind him, he got onto the bed.

I watched as he kept the hot water bag aside and carefully made me sit from my comfortable position. I winced when I sat due to the severe back pain.

"Slowly," he mumbled. Bright sat behind me and gently took me to his lap. I felt my whole body burn from pain when I moved.

"You are in so much pain, baby. Did you do any heavy work today?" Bright asked.

I stayed silent without answering his question cause... I did some heavy load of work. I took out all the clothes from the closet and rearranged them after leaving aside the worn-out ones. Then I cleaned the dishwasher and vacuumed the floors and sofas.. it wasn't 'that' hard after all.

Bright sighed heavily, getting the answer to his question right away.

"How many times have I told you to get some good rest, huh? We can hire a worker if you have any hard work, okay?? How can I trust you and leave you home alone when you go against my words?" Bright did not sound mad, but he sounded concerned.

I understood what he meant.

"I am sorry... I felt lonely and wanted some exercise. It was also a bit messy." I replied truthfully.

"You have to tell me your needs from today on. No more hiding. I'll take you out or leave you with your friends when you get bored, and we can take a short walk when you want to exercise. Do you get it, baby?"
