Love doesn't have to be hard

Chapter 24: Tessa is Starting to Show

Two months later:

So Tessa is nineteen weeks pregnant. She is starting to show and tries to hide the baby bump with loose clothes, which are my jogging pants and long-sleeved shirts.

I caught her off guard this morning when she was drinking her cup of half-caff coffee. She got me because her hair was a mess, and her eyes were puffy. 

No matter what, she is still beautiful to me. She finally let me take her shopping to buy some bigger clothes. Who would have ever thought that bad boy Zed could end up with such a beautiful princess?

Definitely not me. I figured I would be lucky to end up with someone like Steph or Molly. Skanky, tattoo-covered, with piercings all over their body and crazy hair colors. Instead, I ended up with the most beautiful, flawless woman, whose skin was as pure as she was, blonde hair and bluish-grey eyes, and the perfect kissable lips. 

She is my angel sent to redeem me from all my bad qualities. We rarely drink. I have slowed down on smoking, and I refuse to smoke around her since she is carrying my child. Honestly, she is the best thing that could have ever happened to me.

Last night, while we were lying in bed, I gave her some promises. I said, "I am going to give you the best life possible. I will work hard to provide for you and our children. I am going to buy you the perfect house, one where our kids will have a playset and a tree house." She told me she would have a perfect life as long as we were together."

I am trying my hardest to fast-track my graduation. The sooner I graduate, the sooner I can start providing for our family. I do need to discuss that we may have to move to a different state, one that offers the highest pay for my job. 

She has discussed taking summer classes so she can graduate early. If we can both graduate in less than two years, then we can find our forever home.

Next week, she will be halfway through the pregnancy. She tries to hide the baby bump, wearing loose clothing. turning the lights off when we make love and not showering with me. I hate that she feels so insecure when I think it's beautiful. 

When I go down on her, I rub her stomach as I please her. Telling her how hard her stomach makes me it's sexy and turns me on. She will laugh and tell me it is not. It really is when I walk in the door every evening after work, and she is sitting on the couch with her shirt pulled up, I am immediately turned on. 

I know I have to shower because I stink and I am greasy. I walk over and kiss her, then take a shower. Normally, I come out in my shorts. Other times, I come out just wearing boxers. Hoping she will have pity on me and make love to me. 

Sometimes I feel I am pushing her to make love so much, and I feel bad, but fuck she is sexy. It is so hard not to make love to her every time I see her. I want her to know that I'm not just interested in the fucking part but that I want our life together to be more. 

The other night, she surprised me. While I was in the shower, she went to our room and lay down in bed with nothing on. When I finished in the shower, I had my boxers on; she wasn't in the kitchen or on the couch. I saw her lying down in bed.  

I asked her if she was okay or if she was feeling bad. She responded with no, I need you. I removed my boxers, and she stared at me and my erection at full attention. She smiled and waved her finger for me to join her.  

I swear I fucking love my wife with everything in my body and soul. She is so amazing. She wanted it hard and fast, and she kept the light on, which only made me harder as I looked at her baby bump.

She is doing good, classes are going great, and she still loves her job. Christian has been sending her home with a lot of manuscripts to read at home. He doesn't want her working so much in the office. He says she can work from home and just log her hours and email them to Kimberly.
