Nothing is going to happen…

Nothing is going to happen…
Freya 

I woke up to Victor’s warmth, his arm was wrapped around my waist from behind, his chest pressed against my back, and his hand was slowly stroking my stomach. He was really soft and gentle with it and I enjoyed it so much, it was exactly what I needed. But then, I sort of noticed he was far gone in thoughts. His mind wasn’t present with me and I could tell he had something on his mind. He would have noticed the second I woke up if he wasn’t so feel in thoughts. 
“Good morning, baby,” I whispered, still half-asleep and he didn’t answer at first. He just tightened his arm around me and buried his face into the back of my shoulder. 
“Baby,” I turned in his arms so I could face him. His eyes were already open, staring at me with a look I couldn’t really read.
“You’re worried,” I said softly while he smiled softly and pulled me closer. 
“I’m not worried, I’m… thinking.” He finally replied and I brushed my fingers along his cheek. 
“About the launch?” I quizzed while he shook his head almost immediately. 
“Not the project or even Nolan. I’m thinking about you and our baby girl.” He retorted and his hand instinctively moved to my stomach again.
“I don’t like what today might come with, considering we don’t know what Nolan plans to pull.” He chimed in.
“So you’re nervous,” I teased lightly and he sighed. 
“Not for me though, for my girls.” He then took a breath and looked at me more seriously. That did something warm to my chest and I cupped his face. 
“We’ll be fine.” I assured him and he pulled me closer, like he was trying to merge us into one body.
“Freya can you stay home today. Please.” He whispered while I blinked and I moved back a bit. 
“What?” I exclaimed. 
“Let me handle the launch. I don’t want you anywhere near Nolan or whatever stunt he thinks he can pull. You and the baby…”
“No.” I sat up quickly, cutting him off. 
“I’m not staying home.” I said firmly while his brows were raised. 
“Freya…”
“I mean it, Victor.” I cut in sharply. 
“I want to be there. I want to stand beside you when they announce you the winner. I want to see the defeated look on Nolan’s face when everything he planned collapses right there in his presence.” I added firmly while he just stared at me. 
I could see the frustration building up in his eyes. He wanted to protect me and I like that but this is a lost cause. I’m going with him and I mean every word I said.
“Nothing will change my mind, baby. Nothing.” I added gently while he exhaled slowly and sank back into the pillows. He didn’t bother arguing again since he also knew I wasn’t going to change my mind.  
We already planned everything before now. The plan was that the driver would come for me later in the day since Victor has to be in a meeting this morning. I already planned my day around that so he should know I wouldn’t agree to a change in plans. 
“I’ll come pick you up myself then. I will let the driver know.” He let out while I frowned a little. 
“Baby, that’s not necessary. The driver is…”
“No, I’ll come myself.” He cut in softly. 
“I’ll finish my meeting, come home, get changed and we will leave together.” He added firmly while I watched him for a moment. 
He was being protective but I could see the slight fear behind the mask and I totally understood him.
“Okay, baby” I finally whispered.
“And I’m getting extra security for today,” he added quickly while I gasped.
“Victor…”
“I’m not going to change my mind too. I’m not taking any risks with you or my baby.” He retorted and I sighed, touching my belly as she gave a small kick, almost like she was agreeing with her dad.
He leaned in and kissed my forehead while I moved closer and rested my hand on his chest.
“We’re going together and we’re winning together.” I whispered and wanted to move back but he wouldn’t let go. He pulled me back into his arms tightly and we stayed that way for a while. 
“Victor,” I murmured, brushing my thumb across his chest.
“You should start getting ready for work before you’re late.” I added but he didn’t move. 
He just looked down at me with a slow, naughty smile that made my heartbeat slip a little.
“I have a few hours before the meeting,” he said quietly and then kissed me.
“And I want you in the bathroom with me.” He muttered while I blinked. 
“What?” I asked but I was already blushing. 
He liked the effect that had on me so he gently placed his hand over my stomach, and started to rub gently over my skin.
“Our baby girl deserves some special treats this morning, and I want to spoil her a little before the world tries to steal the attention of mom and dad.” He replied and I burst into laughter.
“You’re so unbelievable.”
“And you love it,” he shot back and truly, I really do love it. 
Before I could protest again, he was already out of bed, pulling me up with him. I followed him into the bathroom, still shaking my head and blushing like a teenager who couldn’t control her smile around her crush.
I watched as he turned on the warm water, added my favorite vanilla and jasmine bath oils and started filling the tub.
I wanted to undress but once he looked over his shoulder and saw me, he quickly held my hand.
“Daddy is going to handle that,” he chimed in and I rolled my eyes but my cheeks heated instantly.
“Victor…”
“Freya.” He teased and I laughed. 
“Let daddy take care of you.” I laughed even more while he pulled off my nightwear slowly, and the way he watched me like he was just seeing my body for the first time made me blush even harder.
When the bathtub was ready, he held my hand and helped me into the warm water and it felt like heaven. 
He grabbed my juice cup from the counter and placed it in my hand.
“Drink and relax, my love,” he said while I  took a sip, sinking deeper into the tub. “You’re really doing too much.” I teased but I didn’t mean it because I was so enjoying it.
“No, this is exactly the right amount.” He whispered as he kneeled beside the tub and then dipped the bath sponge in the water. He squeezed it out gently, and began running it down my arms in slow, tender strokes, that made my eyes roll back into their sockets. soften on their own.
“You like it?” he asked, pretending like he didn’t already have the answer. it was a casual question.
“Baby, you know I do.” I giggled and didn’t even know when I moaned. 
He chuckled and continued scrubbing. Gd moved to my shoulders, my back, then my legs. He stayed longer on my belly but was careful not to add any pressure on my belly. He really meant it when he said he wanted to give our girl a treat.
“Your daughter is kicking, can you feel it?” I whispered when I felt a soft tap from inside.
He immediately moved his hand to my stomach, leaning closer.
“Oh, she’s awake, good morning, daddy’s little princess.” he murmured, smiling proudly while I laughed softly. 
“Babe, she’s my little princess too.” I chimed in while he quickly shushed me.
“I’m talking to my princess here, please.” He said, brushing small circles on my belly.
“You’re obsessed.” I added and he finally looked up at me. 
“Yeah, I’m obsessed with the both of you.” He said and I swear my heart squeezed so tightly I thought it might burst.
He kept bathing me and I also continued drinkin my juice, letting him spoil me while melt under his touch.
When he was finally done, he looked up and brushed a strand of wet hair from my forehead.
“I love you both so much and no matter what happens today, I promise to protect you teo with my life. Nothing is taking either of you away from me.” He whispered sweetly and I was close to tearing up. 
“Nothing is going to happen. And you can relax knowing you have our support through it all.” I whispered back as I reached out and cupped his cheek. 
“Finish your drink, and go take a nap. You have to be glowing when I come back to pick you up.” He retorted while I laughed. 
He stripped naked and got under the shower while I just watched in awe. 
I can’t believe he’s mine… he gives me more reasons every morning to fall in love with him all over again. 
I just hope everything goes as planned today…
