Undeniably Wanted

Chapter 65: Are you ready?

3 Months Later

-Heather's POV

"What are you doing?"

I wince while turning around slowly from the oven seeing Tessa standing at the kitchen entrance with her hands on her hips. I give her a sheepish smile earning a chuckle and shake of her head.

"Heather, you know what Xavier would say?"

For the last few months, Xavier has slowly become too overbearing. It started off with small things like he didn't want me help carry the groceries or Luca. He then thought that I shouldn't cook due to my chances of burning myself. My limit for patience was hit last week when he had me cut how many hours I could be on my feet.

The students were all excited to learn that I was going to have a baby but not nearly as excited as Luca. I still remember how he was screaming when we told him that he would be an older brother to two babies. He has gotten so protective over me that he told the students not to squeeze me during their hugs. I still chuckle at how he pointed his finger and said "that is my little siblings in there." He was so proud.

My size has increasing daily. I swear Xavier seems more fascinated than me. He is always embracing my stomach and loving on me. Not that I'm complaining... I am happier seeing the pure joy he radiates as well as Luca. I can't believe how lucky I am. Only wish he was not so overbearing which leads to my current predicament.

"Good Morning Tessa. I just wanted to cook." I grumble turning back to the stove for my eggs. I feel her walk up beside me gently taking the spatula out of my hand. I turn to her with a heavy sigh. She rubs my back and then gently pats my shoulder. I chose not to argue and go stand near the door rubbing my stomach softly. I jump slightly when two arms snake around me. I sigh and relax back against the familiar masculine chest.

"Sweetheart, were you trying to cook?" He whispers kissing the back of my head. I stiffen slightly which he chuckles in response. "I just want you to be safe."

"I know Xavier but you won't let me do anything." I sigh while dropping my head feeling my tear ducts rushing forward. Pregnancy hormones are no joke! I can smile for one moment and cry the next and want to kill someone after. I thought originally something was wrong but I was told it was normal, especially with twins.

"Your parents and brother are in town. Would you like to go out for dinner or invite them over?"

It's been a few months since they left. They went back to settle some documents signing the company over to Christopher officially. The news had a field day when they learned that I was not taking over and Chris was. My brother so far has been expanding more and making the company his own which I am proud of. My parents have found a house here in California and are moving in later this month when renovations are completed. I worked through issues with my dad. He is now excited about the grand reception both mothers have planned. It also sounds like a baby shower but regardless, my father is happy.

"Let's invite them over, I don't want to leave the house." I say leaving his embrace to sit down in a chair. He gives me a concerned look sitting beside me. He is about to question however Luca comes barreling into the kitchen making our focus direct towards him. He comes up to me but leans down kissing my shirt covered belly and then walks over to a seat where Tessa has set down food.

"Sweetheart, are you-"

"I'm fine Xavier. Just a little tired today." I say giving him a small smile. He continues to look at me to find any trace of lie. He must be convinced because he nods his head and turns back to Luca who is munching away on a piece of bacon.

"Do I need to call the doctor here instead of us going in?"

I give him a confused look which he clearly recognizes waiting patiently. I make an O face remembering today is our gender appointment. We have been back and forth on whether we should find out or not while Xavier immediately wanted to know. He originally wanted a girl to spoil while I wanted little brothers for Luca. Luca seems to think we will both get our wish.
