She briskly went into the office and started her appointment with the doctor.“How do you feel now?” the doctor asked after reading through her complaint chart.“Dizzy.”“Did you eat anything weird this morning?”“No.”“Have you experienced morning sickness, exhaustion, unusual habits?”“Yes.”The doctor took notes of her answer before proceeding with her next step.“Please, I would like to check your vitals if you don’t mind. Also, I will perform an ultra-sound test.”Astrid agreed to all her doctor had to say. She ended up running some tests and once the result was out, her doctor braced her with the

Once he was sure that she wouldn't wake up, he went into the bathroom to freshen up.However, on removing his shirt, he reconsidered his choice to shower. Astrid's kisses were still imprinted on his skin and he didn't want to wash it off. “This is a hard choice." he placed his hands on the counter, staring at his kiss printed skin on the mirror.“Just take a shower, Ron. I can always imprint them again," her voice muttered behind him and he quickly turned to see her standing in her see-through nightdress.He could tell from her disarranged hair and hooded eyes that she was still sleepy.

    Rowan couldn't help but laugh when he heard his wife's condition. He found it adorable that she was willing to do something naughty regardless of how shy she was.“You are so cute." He pecked her cheek and patted her hair. “Maybe I will eat you later when we are at home. That way you would have any excuse to run away from me," he teased.A tinge of red spread across her face from his indelible words. She could die just from looking at that sleazy smile of his. “What...What are you going to do about the makeup?" she asked, gesturing to his kissey face and body.“My wife branded me, I will happily wear it around for everyone to see," he said with a cheeky smile.“No, you can't do that.
