Normani Janine

I didn't know what exactly was wrong with me today but I knew I didn't like the feeling this pregnancy seemed to be taking a real serious toll on me as it grew.

I have trained myself to not refer to the pregnancy as anything else but just that 'pregnancy' I made sure not to speak to the living being inside me in any informal manner so as not to form any sort of attachment or bond because I knew my status here and I knew that in a short period of time I would soon be out of its life and everyone else's but it seemed very hard to do.

Some people I would be able to live without some I wouldn't and I'm afraid this baby was starting to be one of the latter and this would be all thanks to Hugh.

Ever since Claire had told him in my last check up that babies could hear what was going on around them and that talking to them would help them become more familiar with their surroundings and parent he made it a point of his to talk to the baby at any chance he got.

If things weren't the way they were I bet I wouldn't have any issue with him doing that but circumstances were different and him talking to the baby was a big issue for me especially since I've been trying to avoid him for so many reasons one of the reasons relating to that incident in the library and the fact that I didn't want to create any sort of bond only to have it severed in the long run.

Now he seemed to be making the task much more harder for me than it is. The man was sweet I mean with all the sweet and absolutely cheesy cringe worthy things he would profess to the being in my womb I would always be left feeling uncomfortable

Cause most of the time it left me yearning for things I knew didn't belong to me

"Normani..." speak of the devil and he appears this statement could not be more accurate

"In here..." I called out from the living room sofa that I was laying on. Few seconds later I hear the sound of footsteps coming in my direction

"What are you doing here when Claire specifically told you to rest" he stated immediately he stood in front of me the worry in his tone doing things to me that I refused to acknowledge

"I am resting...." I stated defiantly

"Really in this uncomfortable position"he questioned but it came out more like a statement

"What's it to you anyway Hugh....why the worried tone whether I rest or not it's my body" I stated seemingly getting annoyed

"Well I have a right to worry when it's my baby you're carrying....I wo"

"Oh of course" I interrupt him before he could say anything else that would hurt me as I tried to get up keyword 'Tried' it seemed a very hard task to complete seeing that I was certain I weighed more than a whale at this moment.

Hugh seemed to notice my apparent struggles and he leaned in took my arm in his and helped me to my feet.

His fingers on my bare skin successfully sending shivers down my spine at this point regretting ever wearing this light armless dress"Thank you" I whispered not sure if he heard me or not

"Normani....I" he began

"Ouch!"I yelped Interrupting whatever it is he was about to say "what is it? He asked with worry etched across his face "it's nothing....just a kick that's all" i replied with a small smile to reassure him

"What!.. you mean right now" he asked excitement in his eyes to which I nodded in affirmation to my surprise he went down on one knee in front of me his palm grazing my belle it seemed the baby knew whose hands it was because it gave a healthy kick at the touch.

The smile on Hugh's face was too much to look at it was so adorable it was obvious he was going to be an amazingly adorable father once his kid was born too bad I wouldn't be able to see it.

"I think the baby is going to be a girl.." he muttered his statement surprising me "what do you think"

"Me? I asked baffled

"Yes you" he said this time rubbing my belle the touch doing dangerous things to my heart

"I think it'll be a boy....with beautiful eyes just like yours...." I gasp once I realized what I had just said

"Maybe you should ask Miss Alexandra about it" and to that I tried to make my way back to my room but trust my body to always betray me as my legs wobbled on the floor he rushed to my side lifting me off my feet as we both made my way to my room

"Hmm so you find my eyes beautiful" he said his voice husky his eyes staring directly into mine keeping them glued to his"hmmm" I muttered before I could even stop myself

"Um...yeah anyone with eyes would see that you have beautiful eyes" I replied immediately he placed me on my feet I looked around confirming I was in my room he came towards me with calculating steps causing me to step back till there wasn't any space left for me to move in "I am not asking anyone I'm asking you" he says as he leans in I immediately turned this caused his lips to land on my chin

I sighed in relief at having avoided his kiss only for him to start raining kisses all over my face from my jawline to my chin to my cheekbones my eyes my nose his lips purposely avoiding mine leaving me wanton. once I couldn't take his tease anymore I leaned into him soft sounds coming out of my mouth
