Accidentally Married

it was almost a week past jessica’s expected date of delivery and she was agitated. she did not want to show it but she was getting nervous about the situation. why was it taking so long for the baby to come out?

she was eager to meet the baby because she was desperate to know the gender. she had said she wanted a son but xavier had said he wanted a daughter instead because the baby would look like her and he wanted a mini her.

“you can do it” xavier cheered for her as they climbed the stairs. climbing up and down became a hassle for her so she decided to love downstairs.

she called ross when her date passed and there was no sign of the baby coming. although he explained it so well to her she could not help but atoll feel very nervous about it.

“why don’t you come to do it yourself?” she snapped at him.

she had been very snippy in the past few days and it was a wonder to her how understanding xavier had been through it all.

“take a deep breath. you have just three more steps to go” he continued rubbing her back in support of her goal.

ross had advised her to do exercise as it can help the baby come out better and faster. she hated the exercises and the situation. she wanted to pop the baby out of her and be on her merry way but here she was trying her best not to per on herself when she showed extreme emotions like laughter or crying.

“or you can just carry me and we call it a day since i walked all the way here by myself” she suggested. the statement sounded more like a command than a suggestion.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

“come on baby you can do this” he cheered on. he learned from the experience of other seasoned parents by reading and listening to their experiences that staying calm at times like this was the best for both parties.

“i would never let you lay your hands on me again” she swore as she cast a glance at him.

“what does that have to do with this?” xavier asked stunned as to where she went with it.

“you touch me and then i get pregnant and then go through all this over again? never?” she screamed at him. he was almost tempted to laugh but he controlled himself.

jessica hissed out loud. how was he able to successfully control himself? she knew she threw difficult things his way since last week when she was due. she was partially grateful about how he handled it and partially angry that he handled it so well.

“i am sure you would change your mind later” xavier responded.

“never ever” she spat out.

“whatever you say, but you have not taken a step in more than five minutes”

“i will take a step as soon as i am ready to”

“come on you can do it”

in a scream, she said to him “no i can not”

xavier had made jessica complete the exercise and she swore that the only thing that would take her down again was if her water broke and she was ready to go give birth to the baby.

“i hate you” she murmured as she pulled the blanket over her legs.

“i love you” she shouts back from the closet.

“i wonder why you have an unbelievably good hearing” she shouted back to him.

he came out with a robe wrapped around him. “i am about to take a shower do you care to join me?” he asked with a wink as he placed his body on the door frame.

“i do not,” she said in a sharp voice.

“come on”

“i do not want to. i am so exhausted from climbing up the stairs”

a frown took over xavier’s face before he turned around and said “do whatever you want”

jessica sighed and lay down on the bed. she was sorry that she kept snapping at him but it was his fault that she was like this. if he had kept his pants on she would not be feeling as if she was carrying a full sack of rice.

she closed her eyes to try and sleep. she did not know why the doctor had said it was normal that it was way past the date of her delivery and she had not given birth. leslie had given birth a week before the date of expected delivery.

“are you asleep?” xavier muttered as he hovered over her when he came out.

“i have not been able to sleep” she murmured with her eyes closed.

“should we go out and have a good time?”

“i can not have a good time with this belly,” she said rubbing her stomach with a smile on her face.

“of course you can” he said pulling her to a sitting position.

“can you just let me sleep?” she asked with an expression that tells him to just give him what she wanted.

“i can let you have what you want but i want you to have only good memories about this time in out life”

“and i have wonderful memories. i might be snippy but i am really excited and eager to meet this baby” this time the rubbing of her belly was more fondly and gently.

“so lets go out then?”

“would you carry me down the stairs?”

“of course”
