Crave (Completed)

Book 2 -1

Gulf's POV

Seven years after our wedding and I am pregnant again. Not my second pregnancy but my third one. Alex and Nat are now 8 years old, I have Kane which is 4 years old and now I have a three months old in my tummy. It took three years for me to get pregnant again with our third baby. That honeymoon baby didn't worked as Mew's planned it to be. Thank God because our doctor said that we should have wait for at least three years to bear a new child.

"Boo, come on. I said I am hungry. Why are you taking so long?"

"Bii, give me a minute. I can't find Kane."
I am not worried, he must be on our neighbor's backyard again with Alex and his friend Tharn.

Natasha never goes out, not because she doesn't want to but his twin brother doesn't allow her. Alex and Kane always forbid Natasha to go out. My eldest son said that his friends like Nat, that's why she can't go out or those kids will just court her.  At this age, really?

Natasha is mature for her age. She helps me clean the house. She tidies her bed and her brothers' too.

"Mom, how about we bake cookies later?"
I am so tired already but seeing this pretty face made me say Yes.

"Sure, baby. Go and read the recipes again so mommy can help you, okay?"

"Bii, he is not in the house I swear." My husband shouted from our second floor.

"Then find him outside so you can cook pasta  for me already."

"Mommy, Kane loves this one." She showed me the picture of brownies with a colorful sprinkles on top."

"How about what you want baby?" I asked her.

"I am good. You know that I am baking for my brothers." She replied.

"I really have the sweetest daughter."

"Because I am the only daughter here. Hope our new baby will be a girl so I can play with someone too."

"Mommy!!!" Kane ran to me crying. He sat on my lap.

My husband immediately ran towards us and pulled Kane out of my lap.

"You can't do that again, Kane. I told you mommy is pregnant." He told our son.

"Boo, he is light. It is fine. Now that they are here. Go to the kitchen and proceed with cooking."

I turned my gaze to Kane who is still crying. "Tell me why are you crying."

"T-tharn doesn't w-want to play with me. He just plays with Alex all the time."

"Why not play with someone same with your age?"

"But I want to play with goodlooking kids only."
How can he say this at a young age?

"You should play with anyone, baby."

"But you said you only like daddy because he is so goodlooking." My husband throw a glanced at me and showed me his proud smile.

"Did I say that? But I don't choose the person I am going to be friends with just because of their looks." I explained it to me.

"Come here, Kane. I am going to bake your favorite brownies." My daughter carried Kane and acted like a good sister that she is. Who would have thought that this crying machine will turned out as a very charming and sweet sister to her siblings.

Mew and I decided that this will be my last pregnancy. He is worried that this may cause complication to my body. Actually my third pregnancy wasn't planned but we cannot do anything about it since it already happened.
He is being more careful now since my pregnancy with Kane is much more complicated than my first one. I delivered him before our set date.

I can now smell my favorite black carbonara. He is worried that our baby will be dark because of my cravings. I can't understand the connection of the food and my new baby's skin color.

We were both hands on to our kids. Mew only goes to his office twice or thrice a week so he can spend more time with the kids. But now that we are having a third baby, he is now working from home again. I even forced him to go to work so he can make more money.

"Bii, here's your pasta." He is just wearing a boxer shorts and an apron.

"Wow, looks yummy."

"Of course, I sprinkled it with my love." He answered.

"What I meant is you. You look yummy."

"Stop flirting and eat."

"Can't I flirt with my husband now?"

"You can of course but let me finish washing the dishes first then I'll pamper you with love."

"Exciting, boo. Now go. Quick."

Seven years has passed but our love for each other never faded. It just becomes deeper every day.

I walked outside after I was done eating.

The family that we have is too perfect. Everything is surreal.

I hope no one tries to ruin this happiness that we had.

I walked towards the gate when I found another bouquet again. This guy would really not stop. It's a good thing that I am the one who found it first again. I picked up the flowers and read the card.

"I love you still.".

I immediately put in a trash bin nearby.

He won't stop bothering me.

I need to talk with Mew about this already. He needs to hear it from me. I am afraid that this is from my ex-boyfriend. My past is still haunting me. If only I have met Mew first or right after I and Haii broke then maybe he healed my wound right away. Then maybe I never tried to play with others too. Now someone is back to ruin the happy family that I am building. I won't let him.

I hope my instinct is wrong this time. I wish I am wrong because Mew will go insane if he found out that there is someone in his company who is trying to ruin us.
