Obsession

12.

Saturday had finally arrived and Raven was excited for the day. She would finally be learning the gender of her growing children and she would also finally be seeing relatives and friends that she had longed to see since the incident.

The time was 7:43 a.m. and she lay restless in her bed, phone propped on her belly as she play FarmVille: Tropical paradise. Stephen tossed from time to time before reaching out and clinging to her. His touch made her smile again. The little kisses he would lay on her belly before he drifted back to sleep. You know the little things.

She could hear the door open downstairs but knew she wasn't allowed to leave her room until Victoria came and fetched the couple. Everything had to be perfect or it wouldn't happen at all. She played her game a little longer before being disturbed by Stephen once again. The little pecks he was giving her made her smile but scrunch her face up at the same time. He had yet to brush his teeth and she knew that his morning breath was a force to be reckoned with.

"Good morning princess."

"Morning baby, go brush your teeth."

He groans making her laugh a little.

"I'm too comfortable to get up. I'll do it when she tells us to get ready."

"Get up. You know the babies hate the smell of your morning breath."

He shakes his head no and burrows it back between her growing boobs. Raven strokes his head slowly making sure to brush his hair in the correct direction so she doesn't ruin his wave pattern.

Everything about her husband was gorgeous. His skin tone alone could make her melt. It was flawless, no blemish in sight. She loved how he kept his beard trimmed but long enough for her to run her fingers through it, it was full but he kept it oiled and detangled. His waves were flawless and would make anyone sea sick just looking at them. They would glisten in the light when he would take his silky off and every Durag he owned matched his outfits.

As they lay there she took the time out to admire and pick out the features on Stephan that she hoped her children would have. She just prayed that they didn't have his thin eyebrows.

"Stop staring at me girl."

She laughed as she looked down finally realizing that he had been awake and watching her watch and look over him.

"I can't admire you?"

"There's nothing special about me. You're the one worth staring at. At I'm glad I get to stare at that pretty little face for the rest of my life."

The spend the rest of their time betting on the gender of their babies, going over names again, and getting ready since the time for the baby shower was approaching soon.

Stephen would occasionally stare at Raven in the mirror while she got dressed and did her make up. Everything about her was beautiful to him. Her lips were his favorite they weren't too small and they weren't too large. She had big brown eyes they always demanded his attention until she laughed then they would thin and you wouldn't know if her eyes were open or shut.

"You know I love you right?" He said while pulling his polo shirt over his head and buttoning the two buttons.

"I do now." Raven clears her throat and turns around to fix his collar and help him put on his necklace.

"I know the past is behind us but I can't help but apologize for everything I've done wrong baby, you know I never meant to hurt you."

"I know Stephan, let's just not talk about it right now. Today's a special day for us let's just relax and enjoy our family and friends ok ?"
