Just as she had anticipated, Jayda made sure she filled her fridge with Ice cream and chocolates so she would have something to personally celebrate her birthday with.The last thing she remembered before she fell asleep was that the next day was Saturday, her birthday and she was going to sleep to her satisfaction and probably wake up at noon.Unfortunately, someone decided to spoil that plan by showering kisses all over her face, disturbing her sleep."Lily, I told you not to come over until 5 in the evening. Why are you here this early?" Jayda mumbled tiredly, not opening her eyes.Lily did not reply and neither did the person showering kisses on her face stop. Jayda groaned, burying her face deeper into the pillow.She heard a familiar chuckle, followed by a very familiar voice whispering in her ear. "Happy Birthday, my love."Jayda's eyes flung open. She smiled as she came face to face with Sebastian.Seb reached for her hands and kissed it. "I wish you long life and prosperity, g
Sebastian took Jayda to an Art Gallery owned by Seb's high school friend, after that they made their way to the movies; Sebby booked a whole theatre for himself and Jayda with VIP treatment and their final stop was at the park not far from Jayda's apartment. They bought Ice Cream, sat on a bench to enjoy it while making conversations and then they took a stroll around the park before they headed back to Jayda's apartment to prepare for her birthday dinner.Sebastian took a shower and got ready in the guest room while Jayda got ready in her room.When he was done, he proceeded to Jayda's room. She had already worn her outfit. He saw her sitting on the bed, about to put on her heels."Let me help you." Sebastian offered even though she could very much do that herself. He slid in the left and right heels on both feet and then helped her stand up.Sebastian tried to hold back tears as he took all of Jayda in. He couldn't believe how lucky he was to tame such an amazing human being. The dre
Immediately Sebastian helped Jayda out of the car, he picked her up in a bridal style and made his way into his apartment."Seb?" She called as she wrapped her arms around his neck."Yes, my love.""I really don't know how to thank you for today.""You need not thank me, sweetheart. I wanted to make today memorable for you and I'm happy my mission was accomplished.""I was totally blown away. I love you more every second.""I'm honoured." Sebastian smiled.He placed her to her feet when he got to his room. "I have one more thing to show you.""Seb" Jayda pouted.Sebastian chuckled and raised his hands in defence. "It's not a gift persay. Well not really, it's something for the two of us.""Okay?" Jayda said unsure as she took a seat on the sofa in Seb's room.Sebastian proceeded to one of the drawers by his nightstand and brought out a brown envelope. He sat beside Jayda, handing her the envelope.She opened it and brought out some documents along with physical keys and keycards.Sebas
Jayda decided to make one last call to a client before she took her leave. As soon as she ended the call, She was distracted by a knock on her glass-walled door. She looked at her entrance and was surprised to see Sebastian, looking devilishly handsome as always.Jayda rose to her feet, welcomed him with a hug and a passionate kiss."I was actually not expecting you but I'm happy you're here. I thought we would be meeting at the hospital."Seb caressed her cheek. "I thought so too but changed my mind. It's better we go in one car than different cars. That way, I will spend more time with you.""You're becoming so clingy." Jayda teased.Seb shrugged with a shy smile on his face. "I can't help it.""So, you ready?" He asked, Jayda nodded.She picked up her handbag and they left for the hospital................."Are you excited?" Jayda asked Seb even though she could see the excitement all over his face."Very excited. I hope my heart doesn't explode with so much happiness." He smiled.
A few weeks laterJayda couldn't help but think something was wrong with Lilian. It has been almost two weeks since She and Sebastian came back from their one week vacation and she hasn't seen Lilian.Whenever Jayda called to greet her, She could tell something was not right and no matter how much she persuaded, Lilian would not say anything. Instead, she would give an excuse to end the call with Jay and also promise to call back but never did.Jayda also reached out to Roman, Lily's boyfriend, maybe he would give her a hint on what was going on.Roman assured her everything was fine but she found it hard to believe him.Having decided that she has had enough, Jayda made up her mind to go visit Lilian; a surprise visit. She knew if she called to inform her that she was coming over, Lilian was going to make some silly excuses and give her lame reasons why she shouldn't show up.After four rings, Lilian finally answered her door."W...what are y....you doing here?" She shuttered when she
The Next DayLilian was still fast asleep in her room when Jayda went to open the door for Roman. She had texted him the night before and pleaded for him to come over this morning and she was glad he heeded to her request."Why didn't you tell me anything?" Jayda accused.Roman rubbed his palms together and let out some air."Lilian and I trust you, we know you will always be there for us. I honestly don't know why we never told you about it. I guess it was a shock to us and we were trying to deal with it in our own way to avoid pity. Had I known bringing the issue of a child will tamper with Lilian and I's relationship, I would have never said anything about it.""She said you really want a child and she could see the desire in your eyes when you look at other people's children.""I won't lie, I do want a child and if I can't have one with Lilian, I would rather not have one at all.""The baby issue started when we stopped using protection when making love. I said I will be the happie
Days LaterJayda was seated behind her desk, going through some files when she felt a weird movement in her belly.At first, She got scared, hoping nothing bad was happening to her daughter. She gently placed her hand on her belly and when she felt the movement again, happy tears welled up in her eyes at the realization of what had just happened."She moved!""Her baby girl kicked!"Jayda wanted to go to the rooftop and shout to the whole world that she felt her baby move for the first time.Smiling like crazy, She reached for her phone and dialled Sebastian who picked up after a few rings."It hasn't even been up to two hours and you're missing me already." Sebastian teased from the other side."Sorry to burst your ego, my dear fiancé, I wasn't missing you. I just called to let you know the latest about your daughter.""Is anything the matter? Do you need me to come over?" Sebastian asked, already at alert."Nothing is wrong Seb. She moved. I felt her tiny kicks.""Are you for real?"
Sebastian felt very useless standing by Jayda, doing nothing than holding her hand and encouraging her to push by whispering soothing and encouraging words in her ear.He wished he could do more, he wished he could go through the labour for her or somehow take away all the pain she was feeling. She was in tears and in great pain and it broke his heart.Seb had tears in his eyes too but he tried as much as he could to hold them back. Jayda relied on him for support and he had to be strong for her."I can see her head, babe, just a few more pushes and she will be with us." Sebastian encouraged, before placing a kiss on her sweaty face."You can do it Jayda, you're the strongest woman I know." He added.Another tear rolled down Jayda's cheek before using all the strength left in her to push really hard.Lo and behold, the cry of a bouncing baby girl followed suit.Jayda jammed her head back against the pillow and heaved a sigh of relief."You did it, my love, I'm so proud of you."
