THE TIES THAT BIND-Book 3 In The Sexy As Series

Chapter 72

The wedding was in three days and Kaia still didn't have a dress to wear. She felt like an overgrown beached whale. She tore through her closet in frustration. Pulling pretty much everything from the hangers. She had nothing to wear. She would just tell Zayn she wasn't going to go. She headed out to his studio and went inside and plopped down on the couch in frustration. "I'm not going."

"Darling, you promised," Zayn said with a heavy sigh. "The twins will be so upset if you don't go. Destiny has her heart set on showing off how pretty she looks in her flower girl dress. Do you really want to miss that?" He asked her. "What's wrong?"

 She looked at him as he sat on the piano bench and sighed heavily. "I know I promised. But I'm fat and I'm miserable and I have absolutely nothing to wear and I'm not going to go out shopping. The wedding is in three days and I have nothing!"

"I have an idea. What if I could arrange for you to have a Gone With the Wind style dress made for you. You won't have to leave the house, I swear," Zayn grinned at her then kissed her cheek.

 "I don't know," she said and tried to stand up. She felt incredibly large and awkward. "Baby, help me back up please."

 Zayn helped her up and then contemplated continuing on with his little joke.  "Just let me know which room has your favorite set of curtains and I will have Caroline come over and fit you for a dress, it should be enough fabric," he said trying to hide his chuckle.

Kaia glared at him. "You're so not funny Malik," she said. She looked at him and her eyes flooded with tears.

"Baby, come on, I was only messing around. Let me call the girls. I will have a slew of dresses sent over. Lou will come over, do your hair and makeup. You will look beautiful." He said.  "Besides, you're already gorgeous.  So what do you say? Jem can come over and give you a massage. Make you feel like yourself again." He said with a smile.  "How is the little one doing?"

She tried to wipe away her tears. "Do you still think I'm pretty?" She asked him as she let her hands rest on her belly. "Your little one isn't giving me a moment of rest. I can't sit. I can't stand. I toss and turn all bloody night!" She said in frustration.

 "Shall I get the lotion?" He asked.  "You have always looked pretty to me baby. Kinda like sexy as fuck," he smirked.

She nodded her head and her tears still fell. "Yes," she said. She laughed through her tears. "You're sexy as fuck." She took his hand and he led her back to the house. She didn't want to tell him she thought she was in labor. She didn't want Marian to be mad at her for not going to the wedding. "I love you and I love our child but I can't wait to not be pregnant anymore."

 "I can second that!" Zayn joked. "My balls are turning blue.  So shall I call Caroline?"

Kaia stopped and looked at him her eyes wide and she burst into tears. "I'm so sorry baby," she said. "If you want to." She felt horrible.

"Baby, these mood swings of yours are killing me. The world isn't going to end, happy thoughts remember.  Just think next week, we will have our little prince or princess in our arms. You will no longer be pregnant."

"I'm sorry, Zayn," she said trying to put a smile on her face. "They are worse than when I was pregnant with the twins."

"Must mean that this baby is more like you than me," he said trying to make her smile and lighten the mood.  He sent off a few texts to Caroline and her team.  He told them to come later.
