Captivated Desires

08

It was just a normal morning as usual. The boys were having breakfast, while Reign was getting ready to head off to work like he always did. He got himself a cup of coffee as he looked at the two little boys eating at the table while I was also nearby.

He stood there and drank his coffee for a moment, his mind partially lost in a work-related thought, as he looked over at the two little boys. He couldn't help but smile to himself, even if it was only briefly, as he watched Lionel and Levi eat their breakfast at the table.

He glanced at me against the counter, seeing me eating some mixed berries. He walked over after a moment and stood beside me against the counter. He reached over and took a berry from the bowl in my hand and ate it himself.

He chewed on the berry for a moment before speaking. "What time is the doctor's appointment today?" he asked me as he put a hand on my hip and leaned his body against the countertop a little.

"2:30 pm, Azar said he can drop me off at your company so you can take me," I said to him.

He nodded at my answer to his question and took another berry from my bowl. He popped the berry in his mouth and chewed it for a moment before he spoke again. "Yeah, that's fine, I can take you there and bring you home," he said to me as he continued to eat another berry from my bowl.

"You can have them," I gave him the bowl of berries "I don't feel too good,".

He took the bowl of berries from me and set it down on the countertop, before turning around to look at me properly. He tilted his head to the side slightly and looked at me with concern. "What do you mean you don't feel good? Are you sick?" he asked me, a worried look in his eyes as he looked at me.

"Morning sickness, I thought it went but it's back," I replied.

He frowned and felt even more concern come over him as I told him it was just morning sickness. He reached up and cupped my face gently with one of his hands while keeping the other on my hip. "Are you puking or just nauseous?" he questioned, his eyes still filled with worry and concern.

"Nausea," I replied gently.

He nodded and continued to gently hold my face in his hand as he spoke. "Just nausea. Okay. That's good that you're not puking, just nauseous. But damn it. I wish I could do more to help you," he mumbled, still concerned about my well-being.

He ran his thumb gently over my cheek as he spoke, his other hand still holding onto my hip. "And I thought morning sickness had passed for you already," he mumbled to himself, feeling terrible that it was back again.

He sighed quietly and continued to look at me, his eyes filled with concern. "Anything I can do to help at all? I can stay home from work if you need me to. I don't care about work for today," he mumbled.

"No it's okay, I was planning on taking Lion to Azar and Olympia's place to see Darius whilst you have Levi at work," I replied gently.

He listened to me and he nodded slowly in understanding and knew he couldn't change my mind, but he still felt bad that I was feeling nauseous again. "Are you sure you'll be okay by yourself? Just nauseous is one thing, but I don't like leaving you alone when you're feeling sick," he said to me gently, still holding my face in one of his hands and his other hand on my hip.

"I'll be okay, I promise," I reassured him gently.

He looked at me for a moment before releasing a small sigh and nodding to me. "Okay, I trust you. But call me if you need me to come home to take care of you," he said, still feeling slightly worried about leaving me by myself even though I reassured him I'd be fine.

He looked down when he felt little hands tugging at his pant leg, and he saw his younger son trying to get his attention. He turned his head and looked down at Levi, seeing the little boy grabbing onto his pant leg and wanting to go with him.

He smiled a bit at the sight of the little boy wanting his attention and wanting to go with him, and he bent down to pick the little boy up in his arms. He straightened up again, held Levi against his chest and leaned down to place a kiss on the side of the little boy's head.

"Is somebody ready to go to the office with me?" he asked in a playful tone to Levi, knowing the little boy would be excited to hear he was coming to work with him.

He knew his younger son would enjoy coming to work with him since the little boy liked to spend time with him whenever he was at the office. He looked down at the little boy's face and smiled a little more when he saw the excited expression on his face.

He chuckled and adjusted his grip on the little boy before he spoke again. "Guessing that's a yes to coming with me, huh?" he said as he continued to smile and held the little boy against his chest.

He looked back at me again for a moment and then spoke again, "I guess I'll see you later, then. Take care of yourself until I get home, okay?" he mumbled to me, still holding Levi against his chest.

"I promise," I gently kissed him.

He felt my lip gently press against his and he kissed you back with a small smile on his face. He leaned into the kiss for a moment before he pulled away with a sigh. "I'll see you later, okay?" he mumbled to you again, still holding the little boy against his chest.

"Remember my appointment," I told him.
