Dinosaur King - Chains of Love

Chapter 14 Sometimes I Feel Like

Reese would never expect a simple hug to protect her from her nightmares, but Zander somehow managed to do it. She was woken up by her morning sickness; she was about to get off the bed and rush to the bathroom, however, when she set her feet on the floor, she noticed a bucket beside the bed. She grabbed it without thinking and started throwing up.

The door soon opened and Zander walked in, holding a tray with breakfast. Seeing his fianceé so pale and weak, he quickly set the tray down and rushed to her, pulling her hair back.

She smiled at him softly. He did his best to take care of her.

After a while, she got to eat. Food was pretty good; Zander really tried.

Reese then laid back and relaxed as Zander cleaned everything. He then rested his head on her lap.

"How are you, Ree?" he wondered.

"Better..."

"And your nightmares?"

"Gone for now..." She ran her hand through his hair. "You protected me."

He chuckled. "That's so cheesy! You spend too much time with me."

"Considering that you're my fiancé, I spend the perfect amount of time with you, love." She rubbed his head.

"Oh, my angel~ I love you so much." He gently pulled her nightgown up and kissed her belly. "And I love you too, sweetheart."

Reese blushed; she knew that the baby's too young to even react to sounds, but she couldn't just tell him to stop; he was already used to talking to Eric.

He kissed her belly again. "You're going to be as amazing as your mommy; smart, beautiful, strong, simply an angel. Our little angel." He couldn't hold himself from singing to both of his angels.

As much as she loved his song, she had to interrupt him—they couldn't just lay there the whole day. She took a handful of his hair. He noticed the tug on his raven locks and looked up at her.

"What is it, dear?" he wondered, seeing her grim expression which made him worried. He took her hand.

"I'm just tired," she reassured him, "I should get myself an appointment."

"Already done!" Zander grinned. "I called Daniel while you were asleep; he's free today."

"Thank you; you're amazing, Zan."

"No problem. I'd do anything to make you feel better." He kissed her hand. "Also, I think you might need assistance at the lab." He brought up what he already mentioned briefly yesterday.

"You think so?"

"Well, I won't always be around and I wanna make sure you're safe now that you're pregnant."

"I know." She stroked his hair. "Alright then. If it calms you down."

"That just sounds like I'm forcing you into that..."

"No, you're not. You're right; I'll need some help."

He leaned up to her and pecked her cheek.

Then their Saurolophus jumped on the bed, nuzzling Reese's belly.

Zander smiled at that. "Looks like I'm not the only one who's a little protective over you."

Reese smiled back, patting Sarah's and Amour's backs. "They're going to be with me whenever you're not around."

"I know... That makes me relieved."

It was true; Daniel was free the whole day—the one having troubles at the Z household was Laura. The summer holiday just ended which meant Laura's first day after so many years.
