The next day, Tobias did not go to work and stayed home with Mimi as first thing in the morning, she ran out of bed and threw up.
For most of the entire morning, Mimi hugged the toilet, dry heaving. After she was sure no more would come out, Tobias picked up the sickly girl and placed her in the bed.
"I hate being a woman..." Mimi muttered gloomily. "Too much to bear. Too much to do while bearing. It's unfair!"
Tobias smiled, softly stroking her hair. "I'll be here to make it more fair for you."
Seeing his soft, lovable expression, Mimi scowled. "Easy for you to say. You're not throwing up every morning, experiencing cramps on a daily bases, and about to unpack the biggest load in your life. I could die, you know!"
Tobias's heart skipped a beat. He hastily clasped her hand.
"Don't say that. Even if it's a joke, don't." His voice was low and dark.
Seeing his face twisted with such seriousness and fear, Mimi felt her heart clench with guilt. She reached up and pinched his stiff cheeks. She pulled him to her and kissed his lips.
"I'm sorry. I won't joke about things like that again." She said.
"Better not." He drew her in for another kiss. "I don't want to think of such a thing happening to you."
Mimi laughed softly and stroked his cheek. "It won't."
Rather than saying anything, he kissed her again, harder this time. Inwardly sighing, Mimi indulged the man before he left to let her sleep.
...
Due to her sudden pregnancy, the wedding was postponed. Although Mimi urged to have it anyway, Tobias was strongly against it, not wishing to put any stress or harm on her. Unable to move him, Mimi had no choice but to comply.
Her work at Glory Trade Corporation came to a halt, and Tobias hired a stand-in for Mimi's own company. It was easy to say that for the next eight months, she would be nothing but a useless ball of flesh resting and eating.
When Alec learned of her pregnancy, the man nearly fainted. However, to her surprise, he wasn't as angry as she thought. If anything, he looked quite happy.
"I'm going to be an uncle." He sniffed. "This will be my chance to fix the wrong I had done with the first."
Hearing this, Mimi's brows twitched, and she was quick to give the man a kick in the knee.
Everyone who had learned of her pregnancy sent generous gifts, including her co-workers, Senior Su, Jinny, and Eli Sato.
The biggest change came from Tobias's parents. Vivian Itou mostly. Before, his mother was quite reluctant to hear about their engagement, but she still wished them the best. After the pregnancy, however, the woman turned into a completely new person. She was delighted beyond belief.
Upon seeing Mimi that day, Vivian Itou embraced the girl with warm arms. She touched her belly and continued to smile at her fondly throughout the remainder of her visit.
To Mimi's surprise, Vivian Itou invited her out for baby shopping in the coming week. With nothing better to do, she agreed.
When his parents left, Mimi and Tobias were both stunned. Nonetheless, thankful to see she wasn't bitter about their relationship anymore.
That night, Mimi read pregnancy books as she laid in Tobias's arms.
"I haven't told my father yet." She said, flipping a page.
Tobias's placed one hand on Mimi's shoulders, while the other was placed gently on her belly. As if afraid that his touch would harm her, he didn't dare to rest his palm fully on her abdomen and instead, stroked the sides softly.
Hearing her words, however, made him frown. "Do you want to tell him?"
"Should I not?" She raised her head to stare into the man's worried gaze.
"I don't think it's a good idea. You're in a fragile state right now. I don't want him to say anything that might upset you." He rested his chin on her head.
Mimi laughed. "Don't worry. He's completely harmless to me."
"But still..."
"Tobias." Mimi stared at him sternly. "You have taken away my ability to work, step outside alone, and even eat the foods I want. You will not stop me this time."
Shocked by her response, Tobias slowly nodded his head.
"And you don't get to supervise me." She warned.
"Fine." The man grumbled and kissed her cheek.
He hugged the lovely girl in his embrace. The arm he had placed under her neck moved to help her tuck in some stray strands of hair.
Smiling with triumph, Mimi turned around to kiss his lips. He groaned.
"Careful."
She rolled her eyes. "Toby, I'm not that fragile."
"No. I mean careful where you're touching." His voice deepened.
Lowering her eyes, Mimi's lips tightened. Her hand was directly on his...
"Oops." She giggled and kissed him again. "My mistake."
"Mimi...We can't." He groaned.
"Actually we can," She stroked his chest. "From that book I just read, apparently it's safe to have sex during all nine months. I even asked the doctor after he confirmed I was pregnant."
Tobias raised an eyebrow. Instead of letting him speak, Mimi cupped his face and leaned down, taking his lips in a deep kiss. Opening his mouth, she sucked on his tongue softly. She cradled his hips with her thighs, grinding into him. He released a deep growl from his throat. She felt him harden.
Unable to resist, he started to pull up her dress while rubbing his hand along her leg. He sucked on her lower lip and ran his hand through her hair. He kissed her softly, sweetly, tugging at her lips with his. His other hand moved up to cup her breast, brushing the nipple with his thumb. She gasped when he tugged it, rolling the hard nub between his thumb and forefinger.
He leaned down and bit them with his teeth, playfully, not hurting her. He licked them with his tongue and then carefully set her back on the bed. Mimi reached up to grab him, but he settled her hands above her with one hand. The other moved her dress up and slipped her panties down her legs.
"Toby, let me touch you," Mimi whined, squirming.
"Don't move," He said huskily while prying her legs apart.
She closed her eyes at the touch, his finger grazing across her inner thigh, hardly touching.
"Tobias...please..." She pleaded softly.
"No." He blew soft on her inner thigh and gently pressed his lips on the soft flesh, lowering himself farther and farther down. "Just stay still and let me pamper you."
"You always pamper---ah!" Mimi's head thudded against the mattress, heat pulsing through her blood from the point where his tongue drove deep inside her. His tongue darted firmly within her — sucking, caressing, and causing her to nearly explode.
Even if she twisted her body, he held her firmly from below the waist, so she couldn't even move.
Her leg flexed against his back, urging him closer. Feeling the rough satin strands of his hair against her sensitive inner thighs was its own provocation, heightening her awareness of everything around her.
"Tobias..." She moaned.
He hummed against her, creating more vibrations around her tender flesh. His tongue continued to push in long, slow licks. She sucked air in, opening her legs wider as her toes curled. He thrust one finger inside her, crooking it and hitting her in the spot that turned her moans into one long, high-pitched orgasm.
She shuddered against him, her legs quaking, and when he finally slowed to look up at her, he saw her hair was a wild tumble, and her face was glowing. He licked his wet lips with a smile, finally releasing her hands, which fell limp by her sides. The man crawled up her and kissed her cheek softly.
"Satisfied?" He nibbled her ear.
In disbelief, Mimi blinked at him with astonishment. Looking down, she saw the man was still hard. Very hard. She opened her mouth to speak but was silenced by Tobias's lips.
"Now rest. Don't get greedy." He ordered and pulled her gently in his embrace to sleep.
Sighing, Mimi had no choice but to fall asleep. A hard sensation pressed up against her.
