It had been a week since I found out I'm pregnant. I was still not convinced because all we had was Aida's word and maybe I needed more evidence. I wanted to go back home so that we could do an ultrasound or a CT scan just to be fully convinced.
But Aida wanted us to stay in Aska till I gave birth. If you ask me, that would have been and was selfish on her part wanting to hog us all to herself. What about my people in Sugnam if at all they were there? What about our parents in Zor? Didn't they also have a right to see me pregnant and also see their grandchildren?
This was why I acted as an A-hole intentionally. (Don't tell Adrian. I didn't want to put him in between me and his mother where he had to choose. I wanted it to seem like I was the sole reason why we left Aska.Though we would be back, I promise).
This morning I woke up with Adrian spooning me with his hand on my stomach. He had made it a habit to touch my stomach and it was so irritating but I let him because I love him and I knew he's doing it because he was as confused and as worried as I was.
You see, when we fell in love, we didn't think that we would ever be parents. Maybe by adoption or surrogacy but never biologically. But that wasn't in the near future because we hadn't even thought about it. But now, here we were. Two men, with one of us pregnant. It was a miracle or a blessing as Aida had put it.
So, I know Adrian, like me, went through all the four stages of this and we were now both on the final stage of acceptance.Yes, it's time we accepted that we are going to be parents and Im going to be a mommy, nah, daddy. Hahaha!
Oh, back to the story. I started crying (Yeah, beat me. I know I'm now a certified A-hole). Yes, I started crying. When Adrian didn't wake up immediately, I sniffed louder and exaggerated my crying and that surely woke him up. He looked worried and I kinda felt guilty but I couldn't stop now. I had to see this through. He hugged me worriedly and started patting my back.
"What's wrong baby? Are you in pain?" He asked me worriedly and I swear I wanted to burst out laughing but I remembered I had to be convincing.
"I miss dad and Beau. I have to see them. If I don't then I feel like I would die." *sniff* *sniff*
"It's okay baby. Please be calm. You have to calm down for the babies. You can't stress them you know," he tried and that made me burst out. I gave a full cry and it disgusted even me. I have a deep voice when speaking but it is not pleasant when crying. Talk about ugly.
"It's okay love. Please stop crying. I will talk to Aida so that she can open a portal for us. We will go see Beau, dads and mom then come back again. Okay? Please calm down," he said and I smiled in his arms.
"Really *sniff* really love?"I asked as I snuggled deeper into his arms.
"Yes love. Now, calm down and I will go find you breakfast as I talk to Aida," he said and I went back to sleep. I felt Adrian tuck me in and then I heard him freshen up but sleep took me and I didn't hear him finish or walk out.
I woke up when the sun was already at the centre of the sky meaning that I had overslept, again, and if my stomach didn't groan asking for attention then I wouldn't have woken up. Adrian was smiling looking at me as usual but this was getting more creepy and more suspicious.
"Adrian, baby, how do you think you look every time I wake up and you are seated there looking at me like that? You look like a ghost that's haunting me and you want to kidnap me," I joked as I moved further from him.
He smiled then said, "about the kidnap, that's a yes. I wouldn't mind kidnapping you so that we can be just us two but then I can't be that selfish now, can I? But I look at you because I want to imprint every part of you in my mind. I love you so much and the fact that you are pregnant with my... sorry, our babies (that's after I gave him a death glare), doesn't help much either. It makes my love that much deeper.
Sometimes I ask myself how I can love one person so much," he chuckled and I could see the love in his eyes.
He is just so damn sexy and the fact that he loves me this much doesn't help me either. It makes me fall for him more every day. What I can say is that I'm thankful that Adrian is here with me because I don't want to imagine a life without him in it.
"What did your mom say? Did you talk to her?" I asked him as I was eager to go back to Zor. I have never been away from home, let alone away in another realm.
"Yes. I made her understand why we have to leave but I promised her that we would be back soon because we have to go to Sugnam before you deliver. She's a bit sad but she understands," he told me and I hugged him. That was good news.
I guess being pregnant has its packs because it made me cry like crazy which, in normal times, I wouldn't. It's like my tear glands were overflowing now but they would be dry all the other times.
I ate in bed, freshened up and then we were ready to leave. We didn't have any clothes to change to from these robes we have been wearing in Aska but thank goodness we can teleport. Otherwise, we would look like weirdos walking in the streets of Zor looking like characters straight out of a Chinese ancient drama.
We bid Aida and Jim goodbye. Jim was so sad to see us leave but we promised him that we would be back after a while and that's when he calmed down. We left him under Aida's care and we know that he has turned a new leaf. Aida opened a portal for us and she showed Adrian how to open one from our realm to Aska without landing in any strange places again.
Man! Was I happy to go home! Feels like I have been away for years even though it has been barely two months.
Zor, here I come. Haaaa!
