The New Man and My Baby

Chapter 8

             The next morning proved to be starting off better like he said it would. When I woke up that morning I saw that Xaiven stayed with me the whole night. He had his huge arm gently laid across my midsection, and he was rubbing it gently. I looked over at the clock sitting on the bedside table and saw that it was a little after seven. I didn't know what time we were leaving but I was gonna make sure we had a healthy breakfast to start off with. Besides I was starving. I mean give a pregnant woman a break here! I am feeding for two now.

I laid my head back down on the pillow. This rubbing motion he was doing was feeling great. It was making me feel really relaxed. I knew he would be awake. Even though he didn't go to sleep until well after I finally went to sleep. He was doing the same thing as I dosed finally last night.

"Xaiven."

Nothing.

"Xaiven," I tried again.

Still nothing. I was wondering if he was ignoring me when I heard a slight snoring sound. I stopped talking and tried to slow my breathing down. I didn't even know why my heart was beating so fast. But then that voice in my head said yes you do. I then realized he was sleeping. He must have been doing this through the whole night. His snoring was so cute though. It was so low that you couldn't even tell he was doing it unless you were being really quite.

I gently eased away from him to go get in the shower. I was going to have a good hearty breakfast waiting for him when he woke up. With my plans in my head, I headed off to the bathroom to start my day.

Xaiven knew before he even fully woke up that Karri was no longer by his side. So he laid there for a moment getting his self together. When he opened his eyes and tried to focus some he notice he smelled jasmine. It must have been some stuff she got from her place he thought. He sat up in the bed, and was hit in the face with a very welcoming aroma. He tilted his nose up in the air and as if he was a bloodhound he climbed out the bed and followed his nose.

As he pushed the door open to the kitchen he started naming off the things he smelled.

"Bacon, eggs, coffee, pancakes, toast, fresh orange juice, and fruit salad."

"My, my, you are good."

"Did you cook all this?"

"Of course I did. Who else?"

"Who is going to eat all of this?"

"Well I don't know about you, but I'm feeding for two right now, and I know you are a growing boy so I am sure you can knock back enough food to feed a small army."

"Yeah and that's about how much food you have cooked here. God woman, how long have you been up?"

"For about forty-five minutes. Took a shower and everything. I'm ready to start the day."

"Well I'm glad to hear you all happy today and ready to start the day because I have a great day planned for us, now sit and eat." He pulled the chair out for me and we went to town on the buffet I made for breakfast.

The first place he took me was All My Baby. I was totally in love with that place. As soon as we walked in the door I just wanted to take everything with me. They had some of the prettiest little things for baby girls and boys. I didn't know what I was having right now so I was just getting the basics and unisex clothes. We were in there for 3 hours I got everything I could think of. After all the shopping I got hungry so Xaiven took me to get something to eat. After eating we hit a few more baby stores and I just looked around because I didn't want to buy too much stuff without knowing the sex of my baby.
