45. Patience, Baby!
Nick's POV
I was up and as usual , Sophia was still sleeping in my arms, looking as innocent as ever. I slowly stroked her hair while staring at her face.
Last night I was nervous as hell. I came home early with the cake and the necklace to surprise her but as the time was coming close , I was freaking out. When Ethan left the room , I could feel my heart beating at an inhuman speed but I had to say it. I couldn't afford to not confess my feelings to her.
I was skeptical about her reaction but when she said that she loves me as well, I was ecstatic. If anyone would have told me some months back that I would be so much in love with anyone, I would have laughed but now this is where I was.
I tried removing her hand but it only tightened around my

It had been three weeks to our honeymoon but regardless of the number of times we have had sex , I haven't recovered from my shyness. On the other hand Nick was becoming more and more blunt with each passing day. No matter what, I could never cope up with his uncensored vocabulary.But honestly, we have become transparent to each other over the past few weeks. It's as if communication is even easier between us now ." Mom , you look so beautiful !" Ethan gushed . Nick had chosen the dress for me to wear to the gala tonight and I must admit that the dress is swoon worthy. It was a champagne gold one shoulder dress with a thigh slit. I paired it up with nude heels and a pair of hoop earrings. Putting my hair up in a messy up do , I completed it with a nude makeup." Thank you baby." Ethan

Nick's POV" How was your school, baby?" Sophia asked after kissing Ethan's forehead who was seated on Sophia's lap in the passenger seat. He cringed at the name "baby" but didn't bother protesting ,knowing that it never took him anywhere. We took an early off to pick Ethan up from his school." Boring ." I chuckled at the face he pulled off." And I hope you didn't fight with anyone?" It came out of Sophia's mouth as a question." Uh huh. " Ethan shook his head looking out of the window. We were having some small talks when all of a sudden, Ethan decided to speak." Can I ask something?" Ethan asked in general. He asks for permission only if he is really serious about something. Else he just puts forward his demand.

Sophia's POVWhen Nick left the room I couldn't comprehend why. I saw him settling in the car and driving off. I was always scared of having this talk with him, scared of being left alone. When Ethan had brought the topic up in the car, I could feel Nick's stare on me. I knew he had noticed me tense up.When he spoke about the baby , my immediate reaction had given away my uneasiness with the topic. I had to tell him about it . So I took a deep breath and decided to speak.I told him that I couldn't give Ethan what he wanted. There was a brief moment of silence between us before Nick asked if I can conceive or not. His tone seemed so distant and cold but there was a trace of vulnerability in it. I told him that I could but before I could elaborate, he walked away.At that moment I could feel my heart breaking. Did he discard me because I won't be able to carry a child. No , what am I even thinking? I know he would come back once

Sophia's POV"Nick, we don't have much time. It's just around the corner. We need to decide on the theme fast." I handed him the coffee mug and settled down beside him with the tab in my hand." We also need to choose the cake flavor. And the guest list remains to be finalized yet. We got so much to do." I huffed out . Nick put the mug down and moved closer to me. He took the tab away from my hand and kept it aside." Nick-"" Relax, I had already finalized the guest list and as for cake , it has to be chocolate flavoured, Ethan's favorite." I sighed and leaned on his chest only to sit up the next moment." Did you book the venue?" He rolled his eyes and pulled me back to relax against him." I did."" And-" Nick cut me off." All settled. Now shut up and kiss me." I nodded in understanding." Okay th-" I cut myself off realising what he had said. I raised a brow at him." What ? I do deserve a

Sophia's POV" Hey baby , did you have fun at Grandma's place?" I picked Ethan up and placed him on my hip. We had sent Ethan to Mama's house for a week because we needed time to prepare the surprise. Everyone knows about it already including Char and Ryan but they were supposed to stay shut. Papa dropped Ethan back ,the evening before his birthday." I did but where is the surprise?" He looked around to trace any clue of what we had prepared. I nervously glanced at Nick who reassuringly blinked at me." It's there. We will take you there." Taking a final glance at Nick , we started walking upstairs. We came in front of another room. Pushing open the door, we entered." This room looks so girly." Ethan scrunched up his nose in disgust to which Nick let out a small chuckle. He was babbling about how bad the room looked until he saw the surprise and went absolutely mute. I gestured the maid to leave the room who closed the door beh

Nick's POV" Only a little left and I will be done." I said the same line for the third time." Nick , you have said the same thing three times in the past few hours." Just what I was waiting for! Sophia crossed her arms against her chest and stood in front of me. I massaged my temple with my hands." I know baby, I know. But the pressure is a lot these days. Just another hour baby." I kept looking at the laptop screen. She was silent for a few seconds." I do not interest you any more , isn't it ?" I nodded absent-mindedly before her words registered in my mind . Furrowing my eyebrows at her absurd question, I looked up at her. She was actually standing there with a hurt expression." Why this sudden irrelevant question Sophia? " I was wondering if she was on her period. She normally doesn't get emotional so easily." Irrelevant!" She muttered under her breath and shook her head.As she turned to leave the room, I
