Mina tried to reach her shoes. She took in a deep breath as she nearly reached it, but her baby bump was a hindrance between her and her shoe. She was seven months pregnant and she couldn't wait to see her baby. Her first ultrasound was heartwarming. She wasn't expecting him to show up, but he did, and they listened to their baby's heartbeat together. It was weird at first, she thought seeing him was going to bring back the hatred she had for him, but surprisingly, she missed him. She couldn't keep her hands off him. She couldn't help but sigh as she recalled those months.
********************Five months ago **********
She dipped her mango in the sea water. Naarah had instructed her maids to get. Her cravings and hormones were getting weird. Last week, she was crying over a dog that wasn't hers. It was knocked down by a car. The owner was distracted, which led the dog to run to the road.
" It might have had a family. What if she were a mother? That means her children were going to be orphans." Mina panicked.
Naarah rolled her eyes at her as she turned off the television.
"That's enough, Mina, no more watching television. How can I explain to my cousin if you keep getting emotional over little stuff?"
" I can't help it, my seawater is not salty anymore," she complains.
" I can't with you, Mina, but I still love you."
They spoke for a while, when they heard a car driving into the driveway.
" Are we expecting someone?" Mina asked.
" I don't think so."
They walked outside, and Naarah was ready to murder someone. She hated it when someone came to her house unannounced.
"There are two people who will come here unannounced, my mother or Aaron."
Hearing his name, she felt strange in her body. It's been months since she saw him face to face. They talked if they had the chance, but meeting him physically was something she never expected to witness. She looked ugly, with her stretched marks and the weight she had gained. Will he disgustingly look at her? How will he react to her body and the stretched marks? Mina questioned herself.
The car pulled over in front of them, and they knew the person who was in.
Aaron got out of the car wearing a navy-tailored suit, with messy hair. You could see he had brushed his hands in his her countless times, looking at how it was dishevelled.
He turned to look at the ladies standing in front of the main entrance, one with a murderous look and the other with a complicated expression.
His heart twisted when he saw his princess. He wanted to run towards her, hug her and do a whole lot for her, but he restricted himself.
Naarah left them and went inside, she wasn't ready to deal with these two.
" You are here?" Mina whispered loud enough for Aaron to hear.
"Yes, princess. I couldn't sit still when I heard you were going for your first ultrasound."
Mina made an oh sound; she forgot about it.
Aaron chuckled when he saw her cute expression, his princess was glowing. Pregnancy suits her, and he can't wait to have another baby with her when she gives birth to this one.
