3 Hearts: A Sequel to An Unknown Romance

Chapter 4

Maks' POV

After dinner, Meryl and I started to talk about how we were going to handle the baby.

"I mean, are we financially ready for a baby? Or even mentally ready? Your career would be almost over. What if the baby is deformed? Or has dyslexia like me?" Meryl was getting more stressed out with each 'what if' so I interrupted her.

"Baby, stop. Calm down, everything is going to be okay. We don't need to worry about my career. The only thing that you have to be remotely worried about is your next doctors appointment. Just breathe, I set up your appointment for Monday at 2:30." I tried to comfort her as much as I could. All of Meryl's 'what ifs' were causing me to be worried too. I had to calm down for her and the baby's sake.

"You're right, thank you." Meryl laid her head on my chest and was soon fast asleep. We had decided not to call any family or friends until we were completely positive that she was pregnant.

I just cannot wait to have a little Chmerkovskiy running around here.

Meryl's POV

I heard a cry as I was washing the dishes and rushed into a pale yellow room. The room was two toned, two of the walls were a pale yellow and the other two were a chocolate brown. There was a white crib with a very detailed carousel hanging above. I looked into the crib to find a baby crying at first but when it saw me, it became instantly calm. My mind wouldn't let me see it's face, only it's body. I also couldn't tell if it was a boy or girl. When I picked he/she up, I heard it mutter something.

"What did you say?" I asked soothingly.

"Ma-Ma" Their words were broken, he/she couldn't be over a year old. My heart filled with joy hearing those words come from my child.

I was awaken by the smell of pancakes and hot syrup. Was it really already morning?

I rubbed my eyes and stretched and Maks peeked his head around the corner.

"Good morning sunshine, breakfast is almost ready. How'd you sleep?" Maks went back to flipping his pancakes, I always loved a man that could cook.

"Uh, good I guess. I had a really weird dream." I said as I walked into the kitchen and poured myself a glass of milk.

"I could tell, your eyebrows were furrowed all morning. What was it about?" Maks asked as he achieved a little victory, tossing the pancake in the air. I laughed at his many facial expressions.

"Well, it was about a baby. I'm assuming it was this little one right here." I pointed to my stomach. "But it called me mama, then I woke up."

"Wow." Maks said bringing two plates to the table.

"I think I'm actually kinda excited about having a baby now. I can't wait for a little Chmerkovskiy to call me mommy." I was shocked by my own words. Never in a thousand years did I imagine myself pregnant at 28.

"Yay!!!! I'm glad we are on the same page. You know what tomorrow is, right?" Maks hugged me tightly.

"No, what's tomorrow?" I asked.

"Monday? Your first appointment?"

"Ooh!!!!! I'm excited! I wonder how far along I am."

"Well, when was the last time we had sex?" Maks said calmly. I choked on my pancake. We didn't usually talk about sex, we just did it.

"Uh, the night before last and pretty much every day since we have been married." I giggled, I had never realized how much we had sex.

"Wow, really? We've had sex every single day?" Maks was clearly surprised.

"Yep, I just can't get enough of you." I winked as I put my plate in the sink. Maks did the same.

"You sure can't." Maks turned me around and set me on the counter. He crashed his lips into mine and carried me to the bedroom.
