His Corazón

47. Happiness

When we reached home, Lucas carefully helped me walk inside, even though I didn't need his physical support yet but I smiled realising his care for me and the unborn baby.

"Thank you." I smiled sweetly, as he handed me a glass of water.

Advika looked at me and then back at Lucas as he handed her a glass of water as well. "Dada, thank you." I chuckled.

"You're welcome, my girls." He said, dramatically bowing down.

"You so funny, dada." Advika spoke, giggling.

"Yet you love dada, right?"

She nodded her head vigorously, "Yes, lots of love," And she spread her arms wide.

"Awwh! Dada loves his sunshine, lots too."

"And what about mama?" I asked, pouting.

"We love you too." They both hugged me from each side, being careful.

"Dada, when baby come?" Advika asked curiously.

"Well, it will take him a few more months to arrive."

"Oh! How do they come?"

"A fairy gives it to us." Lucas said.

Advika's eyes sparkle hearing Lucas, "Fairy, wow!"

"Yeah! She gave it to us and now the baby is protected in mama's tummy."

"Mama's tummy? Did mama eat the baby?"

"No sweetheart, the baby will be safe in mama's tummy."

"Oh! Me protect mama's tummy now." Advika being possessive places a hand on my tummy.

"Yes, we protect mama and the baby." Lucas said, making advika sit in his lap.

"Yes." Advika spoke determined.

I smiled knowing this pregnancy isn't an easy one but with my people by my side, i can navigate through this journey.

Currently, Lucas is feeding advika her lunch, while I am preparing a box with baby stuff to break this news to our parents.

"Lucas, see," Lucas looked towards me, "It's pretty right?" I spoke, showing the box.
