The next morning, Fatima woke up at 05:00 am because she needed to pump. Fatima is not a morning person at all, so needless to say, she instantly became pissed when she checked the time and realized that she still had a couple more hours of getting her beauty sleep. Especially since she had barely gotten any sleep the night before, because Orion was hyperactive and didn't fall asleep until like 02:00 am in the morning. Nonetheless, Fatima still reluctantly got out of bed and made her way downstairs to go and pump, but not before checking on her baby first— thankfully, he was out like a light.
Due to the fact that Fatima has spent all her time with Orion ever since he was born, she is just now getting on a schedule of regular pumping. Her doctor recommended that she pumps at least 8 times a day- at an interval of 3/4 hours in order to increase her milk supply. However, sometimes she tends to forget, and will only remember once her breasts get swollen and painful due to being full (like yesterday at work).
Fatima spent about 30 minutes pumping and once she was done, she stored all the milk in the fridge and made her way back to their bedroom. Similar to their son, Zac was also out like a light. It's times like these that lowkey make her envy Zac and playfully want to strangle him for getting her pregnant. Don't get it twisted, Fatima absolutely loves and adores her son, and she also enjoys being his mommy— However, she doesn't enjoy the sleep deprivation that comes with it. In addition, she also feels like fathers have it easy as compared to the moms who have to do the hard part of not only carrying the baby, but also giving birth.
It's not that Zac is unhelpful when it comes to raising their son. In fact, he is very helpful! Zac is a “hands-on” father who wants to be involved in every minor detail of his son's upbringing. Despite the fact that Orion was clinging onto Fatima the whole time, Zac still stayed up with them all night and also didn't go to sleep until 02:00 am, but unlike Fatima, his mind doesn't take long to shut down so that he can rest his body— once his head hits the pillow, it's a wrap! Unfortunately, the same can't be said for Fatima, she needs a few minutes of complete silence before she's able to drift off to sleep.
A few more hours later, Fatima woke up because she got the sudden feeling that someone was watching her sleep. However, she didn't panic because she knew that the chances of it being anyone other than Zac were slim to nonexistent, because the security in their house is top tier!
As she slowly began to open her tired eyes, she saw Zac hovering over her with a mischievous grin on his face- it immediately became clear that he was up to no good! It wasn't long before she felt his hands caressing all over her body, followed by his soft kisses.
Fatima: (sleepy voice) Zac what are you do–
Zac: (puts his finger on her lips) shhh… Just lay back and relax (he whispered and started kissing her from the neck to her collarbone).
Zac: I still owe you that massage I promised you (he said while lifting her nightgown to expose her plump breasts).
He took his time giving each one his undivided attention. Fatima laid there in enjoyment as he started by gently massaging her breasts, followed by passionately licking and sucking on them, and lastly, softly biting on each nipple, causing Fatima to moan as she started to feel herself get hot and bothered.
Zac then rose up and grabbed her face to kiss her passionately as his hand slowly moved down to her panties. Fatima tensed up because she could instantly tell the type of time that he was on, and because she is mentally still dealing with the cryptic pregnancy, she just couldn't bring herself to fully be present in the moment— no matter how badly she wanted to feel him, all of him. Deep down, she knew that this prolonged period of abstinence was killing her just as much as it was killing him (if not worse), but she was just too fearful of what could result from them being intimate.
