“Hubby, aren’t you angry?” Lauren asks when we are both in bed.
“No. I am ok, just promise me you won’t mention it again.”
“I promised, hubby.”
“Good.” I took the blanket and then rubbed her.
“Hubby, I will go to a doctor tomorrow.” I stopped what I was doing and looked at him.
“Why?”
“I will ask for contraceptives, to make sure you won’t get me pregnant.”
“Why? Did I cum inside?” I ask. “Did I?” I did not remember what happened when I lost consciousness. When I’m still in control, I leave Lauren to the bathroom to shoot. If she’s in the bathroom with me, I cum in her mouth or face.
“No, not yet. But of course hubby. In the future, I want inside. I also want to feel what they say makes it tickle inside to splash.” Then she followed with a giggle. “Then what if you forget, of course, you’re not yourself, right?”
“Ok, but you know, wife, you’re getting naughtier.”
“Maggie said it’s true when you always have sex, you lose your shame in that kind of talk.”
“Don’t believe in everything she said. Do you still see each other?”
“Sometimes, when I want to have coffee. Hubby, will you come with me tomorrow for a check-up?”
“Alright, let’s go to the doctor first before going straight to the mansion.”
“Hubby.”Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
“Hmm?”
“Sorry again earlier, huh? I don’t know that—-”
“It’s okay.”
“Thanks, hubby.” And she leaned on my shoulder and fell asleep there too.
I AM IN THE PARKING LOT while waiting for Lauren who was still in the hospital. I wanted to come with her but she said that she would be the only one going there. It’s almost an hour but she hasn’t come out yet. She said earlier that a lot of people for prenatal.
If I am the one to be followed I want Lauren to be happy. I can give her a child but I don’t want to. Not now, not ever. Not that it’s out of date but I really don’t like it.
She can have a child with anyone but not me. I will not stop her, I will not oppose her, I can even give my surname. I will give to her baby the love and care that every child wants from a father. I can be a good father I know. But it can’t come from me.
I looked at a woman and a man who had just left the hospital. A woman is pregnant and held by her husband I guess. They talk and laugh while walking. A picture of a happy couple. The woman’s face also shows how happy she is while holding her stomach.
I want Lauren to be happy like her. A happiness that I can’t give. But if she finds it in someone else, I will support her and be a partner for her son. Whether we break up or whether she wants to stay. No issue. Because I know I will never find a woman—-maybe.
I am happy and content with my life. I am happy to be single. I don’t have any plans in my life but to be happy. Like Dylan. I want to do everything I want. So if Lauren wants to stay as my wife, I have no problem. If Hendrick can stand her up and we separate-not a big deal either.
I turned to one side of the parking lot when I see Dylan’s car. I am sure it’s his car and I confirmed even more that it was her when I saw him. She was with a woman with a rather large belly. I couldn’t see the woman’s face because she was covered by a large pole.
I was about to go down to find out who it was but I saw Lauren coming. She went straight into the car. Dylan is already riding in his car. Who is the woman with him and—-pregnant?
“Sorry to keep you waiting, hubby. There are as many patients as doc Keisha. I don’t want to interfere because it’s embarrassing for those who came before me.” She kissed me on my cheek.
“It’s ok. How’s the check-up?” I asked and started the engine. I forget about Dylan and who the pregnant woman was with him.
“Fine. She took tests on me first before giving me contraceptives. She said maybe it was already filled but I said there wasn’t but she said for sure. So when the result was negative and I was given pills.”
“Pills?”
“Yes, the option is injectable, IUD, condoms, and pills. I’m afraid of injections so I don’t want to. I am not familiar with IUDs so I don’t want them either. Condom—-I doubt if you want it because I didn’t want it then.” Then she giggled.
“Stop being a silly, wife.”
“Just telling the truth. So just pills.”
“Fine. Are you sure you won’t forget to drink that?” We’re on our way to the mansion. We carry all the presents that we wanted to give to them.
“Yes, sure-sure.”
“Ok,”
“Hubby, can we buy ice cream in the nearby store? I want to eat sweets. Maybe we won’t be late, right?” I look at the time, we still have quite a long time.
“Ok.” I followed what she said and parked outside the convenience store. “What flavor do you want?”
“I’ll go, hubby.”
“Are you sure?”
“Yeah.” She went down to buy what she wanted and just a few moments later she left. I was surprised when I saw her bring a half liter of chocolate ice cream. She also eats with a disposable spoon.
“What the hell, Lauren?” I asked when she got inside the car.
“Why?”
“You bought that big, will you finish that?”
“No, why am I the only one to eat? Of course, there are two of us, so there are two spoons.” I just smiled. I hate sweets, but because of Lauren, I learned to eat them.
While driving she put at my mouth from time to time. She really enjoys eating so I just let it go. It’s also hot, so it’s necessary to cool down anyway.
When we reached the mansion we went straight to the garden, there was no one there except Dane and Ace who is teaching her naughty daughter how to play the flute. But Ace just bangs the flute on the table.
“Ace!” Dane scolded.
“KoDel!” Ace screamed when she saw me and immediately raised her hand for me to carry her. “KoDel, ToDel,” she said then ruffling my hair. Kodel means uncle Dale. She kisses her on the cheek. I kissed Ace on the cheek.
“Hi!” Lauren and Dane greeted each other.
“Do you know how to play the flute?” Lauren asked then dropped the ice cream on the table and picked up the flute that Ace dropped.
“Yeah, although I really liked piano before, I like to play this more now.”
“How did you learn?”
“Wallace thought of me.”
“Wow, that’s nice.”
“Dale, why don’t you play kalimba later?” I stopped playing with Ace and then looked at Lauren because of what Dane said.
“Do you know how to play kalimba?” Lauren asked.
“That was a long time ago,” I answered.
“But you know?” she asked surprisingly.
“Yes.”
“Oh my God, you know that I’ve been wanting to play kalimba since I was a kid.”
“Really, Lauren?” Dane asked.
“Yeah, I want, but you know daddy is too strict and he prefers me to be a singer which also ended up being a daring model. He said that the kalimba is cheap compared to other instruments. But I like it a lot, it is not cheap for me but a unique one. As in super unique especially now you don’t get that much attention.”
“Oh, then why don’t you teach Lauren to play, Dale? It can be your bonding too.”
“Good idea, sister Dane,” Lauren answered quickly. “Please hubby.”
“You will bond when you have a family when you have children. Like Wallace, me, Ace. That one is just not in the mood right now because the father is not there. But when it’s there, she plays.”
“We still not planning to have a child right now, Dane,” Lauren said promptly.
“Why?”
“I think not the right time, I am not ready,” she said and looked at me. “Dale can wait.”
“Well, in that case, it is really necessary to talk about the family. If it’s a woman who wants it, the man can’t do anything because they won’t know if you’re going to get pregnant or not even if they’re not ready. It’s easy to lie like what I did to Wallace. But if you’re the one who doesn’t like it, Dale can’t do anything. Anyway, I hope you can decide soon, it’s happy to have children, Lauren. Even if you’re tired, just see your kids you feel happy.”
“Soon.”
“Anyway, Dale, give me Ace first and I’ll just change her dress.” She took Ace from me. “Dave and Lileth will be here soon. You can stay here. The couple was just waiting for Daze because Lileth will ride with Daze’s vehicle. I’ll leave you first.”
When Dane left with Ace I approached Lauren.
“Why did you tell Dane that you don’t want to have children?”
“So that she doesn’t get angry with you. When I say you don’t want, she will fight you because you are her brother. But she can’t fight me.”
“Lauren.”
“Hubby, I told you, I want to return the favor. You are the only one who trusted me so I want you to be happy.”
“I am lucky to have you.” I kiss her head.
“Me, too.” And she wrapped her hands around my waist.
