Chapter 65 Bonus Chapter {Part 2}
The due date of her pregnancy came and he opted for delivering the baby at home because she was more comfortable to do it in a familiar environment. More importantly, he would also be able to provide her with maximum security.
Her legs were spread apart as she laid on the bed and held on to his strong arm. He whispered soothing words when ever she grunted in pain because of the cramps.
“You have fully dilated sweety, now you can start pushing” the female doctor said.
“I don’t think I can do this...” she sobbed and looked up at Marcus, who was this close to crying because he wasn’t used to seeing his wife in so much pain. If he could then he would have borne all her agony.
“Princess... you are the strongest woman I have ever met. I know that you can do this” he affirmed and removed the damp hairs from her face. She was bathed in sweat.
Her screams echoed in the room when the labor began and to him, it felt like someone had ripped out his beating heart and sliced it with a knife. He gritted his teeth and held her close until her cries fell silent.
Soon, the room resonated with the cries of another tiny human being. A newcomer.
The doctor cleaned the baby and passed it to her open arms after wrapping the baby in a white towel.
“It’s a girl...” the doctor told them before exiting the room.
Both Marcus and Kate looked down at the bundle of joy with curiosity. It was the proof of their undying love for each other. Kate sniffed when the baby opened her eyes, revealing aqua blue orbs.
“She has got your eyes...” she remarked with a smile.
“She has your hair and nose...” he said as tears streamed down his face. He had never been overwhelmed by so many emotions before. He didn’t even know how to thank her for going through so much pain to give him the greatest joy on earth.
“Shhh... be quiet...” Kate whispered to the excited child in her arms. The baby occasionally made a few babbling sounds, but she understood the assignment and silently watched her mother.
They were playing hide and seek, with Marcus counting to twenty in the adjacent room. Kate hid behind a wardrobe, but made sure that the space had plenty of ventilation for the baby. And the baby seemed to be enjoying it.
Kate arrested her breathing and pressed the baby to her chest when she heard him enter the room.
“Kate...” he called out musically, making her laugh internally.
The baby suddenly made a high-pitched squealing sound, giving away their hiding spot.
“Found you...” Marcus chirped and the baby yelped with happiness upon seeing her dad. Kate laughed at the baby’s cuteness and patted slightly on her back.
“Come little Emma...” he extended his hands towards the baby and the tiny human being immediately jumped to her father’s arms.
Marcus lifted the baby up and gently twirled her around. The baby’s laughter filled the room. He then hugged Emma to his chest and placed a kiss on her forehead.
“Looks like I won honey...” Marcus husked as he pulled his wife to an embrace using his free hand.
“I hope to get a prize tonight....” he rasped in her ear, sending a familiar shiver running down her spine.
“Of course, daddy...” she replied seductively and smirked. With a grunt, he bend down to kiss her, but she escaped his clutches and broke into a run.
He chased behind her, with the baby in his arms.
Ever since Emma came into their lives, their happiness multiplied a thousand-fold. Kate had never been this happy in her entire life and it was the same with Marcus.
It was Marcus’s birthday and Kate decided to throw him a small surprise party. After talking to his men, Kate understood that he never celebrated his birthday after his mother passed away.
She decorated their bedroom and baked a cake with her own hands, but with the guidance of the servants. Kate and Emma stayed secretly inside the dark room, waiting for him to return.
It was way past midnight when Marcus came home after work that day. He walked into the bedroom, hoping to freshen up, but was mesmerized by what he saw on the bed.
Kate was sleeping and on top of her chest, the baby also slept peacefully. He walked towards the bed and kneeled on the floor to get a closer look at the heart-warming sight that was illuminated with moonlight that filled half of the room.
Kate had one arm wrapped protectively around the child. Her chest rose and fell rhythmically with every breath that she took. He reached out and caressed the side of her angelic face and unknowingly, a smile touched his lips.
He then tried to touch the baby, but before he could reach the child, her hand shot out to stop his hand midway. He was shocked. Even in her sleepy state, she was a fierce mother.
Kate blinked open her eyes in anger, but her expression softened when she understood that it was him.
“I wanted to surprise you for your birthday...” she said in a low voice, so as to not disturb the sleeping child. She was a lactating mother and was very tired those days. But she felt pretty bad in falling asleep after planning the party. Only the three of them would be celebrating it, but still...
His eyebrows raised on their own when he turned around to look at the decorations and the covered cake. He was so hypnotized by her that he hadn’t seen all those things when he entered.
How could she ever think that he needed another surprise, other than his wife and the baby? Everything he ever needed was just the both of them.
“I’ll take the baby to the crib. You can light the cake...” he said quietly and carefully picked up the baby and took it to the next room.
When he came back, she was standing next to the candle lit cake with a warm smile.
He approached her with a heart that danced with joy and circled his arms around her waist.
“Happy Birthday, love...” she whispered and fused her lips with his, bracing her hands on his chest.
“Let’s cut the cake” she nodded towards the table and passed him the knife. He entwined her hand with his and cut the vanilla cream cake after blowing the candles while she sang ‘happy birthday’ quietly. He took a small piece of the cake and placed it into her mouth and she also returned the favor to him.
“Is my birthday surprise over?” he rasped while looking into her eyes with mischief.
“Not yet...” she winked and made him sit on the nearby couch.
His breathing stopped when she moved back and let her night dress fall to the ground, leaving her only in her white bra and panties. Then she began dancing seductively, while slowly approaching him.
The pregnancy period had given her more luscious curves to flaunt. His heart beat increased as his intense gaze set every inch of her exposed skin on fire.
One by one, she removed her garments and was stark naked when she reached him.
She straddled on top of Marcus who was sitting on the couch with his rod straight on his hand. He positioned himself at her entrance and she slowly slid down to the base, making him growl with pleasure.
She moaned and began moving up and down on his shaft, her juices making erotic sounds. He took her sensitive nipples into his mouth and sucked on it, making her mewl. His hand trailed down to her core and she fidgeted when he found her clit. Everything felt very sensitive to her.
He cupped the back of her head and kissed her furiously while one of his hands rubbed the sensitive nub between her intimate folds.
They reached their high together and panted to even out their breathing, while resting their foreheads against each other.
Marcus and Kate took a warm bath and went to sleep after checking once more on little Emma.
Marcus sat on the porch swing on the beach house that he brought for his family when Emma turned two. He purchased it so that his children can play freely, without the fear of being under the radar of his enemies.
He turned his head back when he heard the door being unlocked. Kate walked out of the door and yawned, with Emma in her arms.
She passed the child to Marcus before sitting on the swing beside him.
“Had a good sleep honey?” he asked.
“Yes... and I think that our boy wants to become a football player. He has been kicking a lot lately...” she said with a smile and caressed her baby bump.
He looked down and smiled at his wife. She was looking even more beautiful while carrying their second child.
“Love you Kate...” he husked as his eyes scanned her face lovingly.
“I love you too Marcus...” she said and placed a peck on his lips. The baby clapped and giggled when she saw it.
Kate rested her head on his shoulder as he kept the swing in motion and stared out to the out stretched ocean. The musical sound of the waves crashing against the rocks and the wails of the seagulls that flew across the sky filled their senses with happiness.
They both have lost a lot of things and people in their lives, but they found each other. And now they were building a pleasant family together.
Freedom, happiness and peace are things that aren’t given. Sometimes, we have to work for it and the end result will always be worth all the struggles.
The End
