"No.Let's wait for a while."She said."It's still early to tell."He kissed her temple."Come let's go to bed.I want to hold my wife in my arms."She willingly went,they slept naked but he didn't make love to her,she snuggled close kissing his jaw before laying her head down on his chest and closing her eyes. She fell asleep after a while,when she woke again it was after midnight Max was fast asleep even in his sleep he was handsome,quietly slipping out of bed she wore her robe and headed downstairs to the kitchen,her stomach was growling and she needed to sate her hunger.She made a sandwich for herself,it was easy and fast with a glass of warm milk.Each bite she took made her aware of how hungry she was,she finished her whole sandwich and the glass of milk.I had been hungry she thought as she rinsed out the glass and plate before putting them in the dishwasher."What are you doing?"She heard Max asked behind her."Do you know what time it is."She faced him,he was only wearing his pajam
"H-how do you know."She asked surprised."Media,it was front page news."She hadn't known that."Thank you again,I'll see you around.""Thank you.Bye."She said as he left,she's got an idea.Why should Max always be the one to send her gifts it was time she return the favour.Max has just concluded an hour long meeting,for him it felt more like ten hours because his mind had been on his wife the whole time and how she was doing.This morning she hadn't look okay he's wondering how she's feeling now, should he call her,or should he go home and see for himself.For the next fifteen minutes he debated whether or not to go,he got up from his chair to leave but saw an incoming call from his personal assistant."Megan.""There's a delivery for you sir.""Just sign for it I'm about to leave for the day.""The guy says he has strict instructions to only let you sign." What new drama was this he thought irritated."Send him through."A few seconds later a man holding a big bouquet of roses entered h
She didn't have anything for the day the light headedness she's been experiencing is proof."No.""We going home."He steered her towards the door."Max wait I still need to lock up and make sure everything is alright for tomorrow."After a brief hesitation he said."What is still left to do."She told him."I'll do it you can wait and watch,it's not negotiable."He added when she open her mouth.For the next twenty minutes she watched him move about her store as if he's been doing it everyday,she quietly drank her tea after five sips it didn't want to go down she got up and a wave of dizziness blurred her vision for a few seconds."Max."She called out,he was by her side in a flash she leaned into him and waited for it subside."My safe haven.""Adriana you don't look so good,you need to see a doctor.""All I need is a bed and you beside me.""You almost fainted."He reasoned."Because I didn't have any food for the day."She finally admitted,the look on his face showed he wasn't pleased about
She wore a tight fit red dress that fell above her knees it had a v-neck,black heels were on her feet and she made her hair ontop of her head,as she headed down the stairs she heard the front door open,she stopped and watched as he appeared at the foot of the steps.For several minutes they stood and gazed at one another.Max doesn't think he'll ever get used to her beauty and the gorgeous smile she keeps on giving him when she sees him,it held so much love he would've been an idiot if he hadn't notice her feelings over the past weeks the glow she has upon seeing him,the warmth in her voice whenever she calls and speak to him then there was the flowers she always sends every week to his office.In such a short time she has made herself an inseparable part of his life.He watched as she descended the last few steps towards him,his eyes closed when she lightly kissed him on the lips he inhale her fresh clean scent,this is one woman that will be the end of him,one woman that will bring him
He lightly touched her cheek with his fingertips allowing it to trail down her arm,he stopped briefly at her breast cupping it,she moaned and smiled.Even in her sleep she responds to his touch,his sweet Adriana.He's seen some changes in her,some days she wakes up tired not in the mood to face the day,some mornings she has alot of energy ready to take on the world.Her stamina for doing it has multiplied,there are days when she eats alot and some days when food didn't hold any appeal,he's notice the changes in her body too.The other night when they were done making love in the shower he had seen her breasts were bigger and fuller compared to the first time he had seen them when she had been a virgin her nipples and areola were darker and bigger.A slight swell at her abdomen,she's even gained a few pounds,since they started making love not once has he seen her get her period or talk about it.He quickly sat upright?Could it be what he think it was.Could she be pregnant?It would explain
She shook her head."Are you stressing?Any new project you working on that's giving you sleepless nights.""No,nothing."She said."There has to be a reason why your blood pressure is so high unless of course if you pregnant.Are you?"She asked after a while."No,I don't think so.""Do you know why you in hospital."She nodded."Well I would say you dehydrated and exhausted that's the reason you fainted,I've put you on an IV to give your body the supplements it needs.We've run a few tests and they should be back in the next few hours we'll keep you here until then.""Is it really necessary for me to stay here."She began."Yes it is,as I said your blood pressure is worrying we need to monitor it and bring it down.If it goes any higher than a hundred and forty you could suffer from cardiac arrest,get a stroke or heart attack this is serious Mrs Torrés and until we know the reason why your blood pressure is so high we cannot let you leave."Adriana slumped back on her pillow she was at a loss
"Then why did you say Amelia will be glad that she won't be alone anymore."She jumped in."If you'll give me a chance to finish."She kept quiet."As I said there isn't anything seriously wrong with you we didn't find anything worrying.But I'm glad to tell you you're pregnant and that explains all your symptoms.""Pregnant?"She said dumbstruck."I'm pregnant.""Yes."Doctor Spencer confirmed."We'll do a ultrasound to see how far along you are and determine the date of your delivery and you'll get to see how many babies you gonna have.Your hcg levels are high you could be carrying multiple."Adriana felt the room spin again she laid down again she doesn't know what's more shocking.Finding out you're pregnant or learning you could be carrying twins.The dream she had about her and Max playing with triplets entered her mind,please god no."You okay?"Max asked,he gently stroked her hair."You knew."She said,meeting his gaze."We'll talk at home for now let doctor Spencer do her work."He kissed
"I knew she looked familiar."Adriana said."I just couldn't place her where,a picture of you two were printed in the paper the following day it was front page news,now I remember.She's beautiful why did you refuse to marry her.""She's a part of my past I'd rather forget and not talk about.My only concern at this moment is you,as for you opening up your second shop it can wait until after the pregnancy.""What!Max that will be after a year.""Exactly,for this whole duration of the pregnancy you'll only focus on yourself and the babies I know Cameroon will do a great job in managing the place without you.I'm not about to take any chances and put one of you at risk.I won't.""Max I'm not the type of person to be confined to a bed all day I'll go crazy."She argued."You'll have to learn starting now,alot can go wrong this early in your pregnancy."And that scares him he thought. "Promise me you'll take things slow."She could see he was worried about them."I promise."She cupped his jaw."Yo
