His Bedwarmer’s Wife

“Wake up sleepy head.”

I opened my eyes when I felt something on my stomach. I feel Eugene’s kiss on my stomach.

“It’s still early and you’re making a noise,” I said and slowly got up.

“Breakfast is ready,” he said then tickled my stomach. “Hey little Uly, are you excited to come?” The baby, who is now nine months old, kicked. When Eugene speaks.

He named the baby Ulysses since our baby was a boy.

Every day with the same routine Eugene brings food here to our room. He cooks and does all the housework. We have a housemaid but when it comes to taking care of me and my personal needs Eugene is the one who did it. He doesn’t want me to get tired.

After our wedding, I was bedridden because my pregnancy was so sensitive. We also moved to our new house. If before Eugene and I would often go out for pranks, bars, and hangouts somewhere. Now we are stuck at home to fool around. None the two of us go anywhere and we were content with each other’s presence.

We live like another couple. We ate together, slept together. He takes care of me in everything. There’s only one thing we don’t do and that is what real couples do. Though, I know that we can’t really do that because I’m pregnant. But there is another way to ease our lust. But Eugene respected me as a woman and being his wife.

With him, I felt the care and appreciation of a wife. I’m just going to hold my stomach because the baby will move, he’s already worried. When I am pouting he would come immediately to hug me. Now I feel the sweetness of being married.

I am happy being Mrs. Hailey Hian Taylor.

“Ley.” I heard Eugene snap so I laughed. “Eat it,” he said, then we started to eat together.

“Eugene, when’s my next prenatal?” I asked while taking the vitamins he handed me.

“If you don’t give birth this week we have to go back to the hospital.” I nod while drinking water. That’s another thing I admire about him. He knew very well my prenatal date while I didn’t remember. He knew the time I was taking vitamins.

He got up and took the food then sat on the bed and leaned on me.

“Eu,” I said while holding his hand.

“Hmph?” I was in tears smiling at him so he sat down next to me and touched my forehead and face. “Are you ok, are you in pain?” he asked then touched my stomach. “Does your stomach hurt already? Tell me, God Ley, don’t cry, please tell me where it hurts?” He asked worriedly as he groped my whole body.

“Thank you.” He stopped groping me and took a deep breath then put his head on my stomach.

“Baby, Mommy is getting emotional. Can you kick her slowly?” I don’t know but the baby seems to hear Eugene and it moves for a while but also stops immediately. “No, Ley, thank you for giving me this once-in-a-lifetime happiness. Besides, I’m your husband so I can do everything for you and the baby,” he said then held my hand.

“I am the one who should be thankful because you gave direction to my life when you accepted me to be in Uly’s life.”

“Eugene,” I softly call to him.

“Hemp?”

“I think I’m going to give birth.” I winced when I said that because I felt the pain in my hip. Eugene immediately stood up at what I said.

“Huh?” he asked as if confused.

“My stomach hurts,” I added.

“Wait, wait a minute what are we going to do? Wait, what is that? Ah! Call the ambulance and prepare the things. Shit!” he shouted when the cellphone fell into his hand.

“Eugeneeeeee.”

“Wait, Ley,”

“It hurts motherfucker.”

“Wait,” he said then approached me and touched my stomach. “Wait baby, just relax first please, and don’t hurt Mommy,” he said while dialing the hospital number. I heard that he was talking to someone but I couldn’t understand because I was focusing more on my stomach.

The ambulance came and picked me up immediately and Eugene was also with me inside. Until we got to the hospital he was with me. Even in the delivery room, he follows.

He was holding my hand and he was also taking a deep breath. As if he is the one who got to deliver, and then wiped my sweat.

“More Madam Hailey,” the doctor said to me. “I see the head of Ulysses,” he added.

“Ley, it’s a little ok, let’s go breath together so baby Uly will come out.” Maybe if these scenarios happened at another time I would have laughed at Eugene’s reaction. He looks even more hurt than I do.

I made a strong breath and my baby came out. A moment later I heard a cry.

–

“My son is so handsome like me,” Eugene said. Taylor’s and Amaranth’s are here. The Miller’s siblings are here as well. Agatha was carrying baby Uly when Hera took it from her. The baby wrapped like a larva.

“Ley, my nephew is so cute and—-” I looked at Hera who was staring at the baby.

“And what?” I ask.Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

She looked at Eugene then at the baby and back again at Eu who surprised me.

“Eugene, you’re really in love with Hera, aren’t you?”

“What?” Eugene ask.

“See, the baby didn’t even get a single from you except for his balls.” Eugene and I looked at each other and both didn’t know what to say.

“I agree with Hera,” William said.

“You agreed because that’s your girlfriend,” I said.

“Hera, You think I will get her pregnant if don’t love her?” I laughed at what Eugene said when he approached his brother William. “And how about you Will?” he asked.

But even before Will could answer we had already heard daddy’s clearing his throat. William scratched his head and then looked at daddy and punched Eugene as if blaming him.

“Hmph, I’ll marry Hera first,” he said and both of them blushed.

“Great,” Eugene said and the door open, then Ashley gets in.
