"Are you sure you don't want to know the baby's gender?" Anin asked as she wiped my belly."Positive, surprise us," I smiled as I sat up straight with Miall's help."Why do you guys need to have this party again?" He asked. I had to resist the urge to roll my eyes. Men."It's a thing human mothers do. Besides, I think it will be fun," Anin shrugged as she sat behind her desk. "I have a few fun ideas on how we can do the gender reveal.""Do they involve sex positions?" I asked excitedly as I leaned forward."No," Anin responded with her eyes as huge as saucers. "Don't ask questions about the party, but instead, let's talk about what happens now," she said, and I pouted, crossing my arms over my shoulder."You know, you're the only one who lo—" Miall covered my mouth, and I looked at him from the corner of my eye."You were saying?" He looked at Anin."Uhm, it's good that you started exercising for several reasons. It will definitely benefit you when it's time for you to give birth. You
Third Person"I wasn't sure what to get you, so I just brought everything we ha—you're sleeping already?" Miall trailed off as he saw Amanah's body curled up; her breathing was evened.Before joining her on the ground, he put the snacks into a basket. He propped his head up with his hand and watched Amanah as she slept."Isn't this being a little creepy?" Orion asked as he joined Miall; their eye colour had changed into grey, proving they were one.Before they went to the trial, they couldn't be one for long periods; however, now they could switch or stay as one for as long as they needed to.Amanah still had no idea how different he was when they were both in control, which was why they agreed to present themselves individually when they were around her."If it's creepy, what are you doing here?" Miall asked back, and Orion smiled. They touched Amanah's forehead, pushing back the locks that had fallen out of her bun. They both knew she would complain once she woke up because she didn'
It had been over a few days since I had seen Miall's package, and I had not yet recovered.Not because of its size or anything like that, but because it was all there, hovering over me, and I freaked out!I not only freaked out but also resorted to avoiding him because it's way better that way. Every time I got a whiff of him or even saw his shadow, I got excited. Too excited, I'll admit.My breasts became painfully stiff, but I'd blame that on the third trimester. My lower region tingled, and I had to fight myself from moaning.He was making it hard for me just to live! I said I had resorted to avoiding him, but that was a failure because the man was everywhere I was.The only time we were ever apart from each other was when I was at the nursing school volunteering or wherever else Nyleve took me, but that did not stop him from fetching me from wherever God knows where he was just because 'he can'.I was pretty sure Miall knew the effects he had on me, which was why he had made an ext
Third PersonAmanah and Miall sat next to each other on the couch as they awkwardly stared at the screen.Amanah tightly clutched the toss pillow, embarrassed by her actions from earlier on. This was not how she expected it to turn out. All her boldness has dissolved.Turns out, she wasn't feeling as sexy anymore.She turned to look at Miall, and he was already staring back at her; surprised, she turned back and stared at the opaque screen.Fuck, has he been staring this entire time? She thought to herself. Miall kept his stare trained on Amanah, studying all the little details.A beauty mark right at the corner of her eye. Her lashes were long, and would kiss the top of her cheeks whenever she blinked.The way she sucked in her cheeks and blew them out while pouting her plump lips. He paid attention to every single thing she was doing.Miall cocked his head to the side and spread out his arms on the couch; Amanah folded her legs underneath her and clutched the pillow even tighter."Ar
Amanah"And this way, they were able to complete the orientation. Do you understand?" Miall asked, looking at me; this was what I heard. "Gargle gargle, sheru shama shakes, hedi hedi faya."I nodded, looking right into his eyes."Wow, who would've thought you explain things in such an understandable way!" I exclaimed, smiling innocently. Imma fail. This man didn't know any better than I did. "So that tactic didn't work; maybe we should try something else?" Michael suggested as he pushed his glasses up, and I smiled, leaning against my hand as I looked at him."I totally agree," I whispered, and Miall pushed my hand down, making me sit up straight. I stuck out my tongue for him, and he blew me a kiss. I rolled my eyes regardless of the way my heart fluttered. "How did you learn in school, Amanah?" Michael asked as he sat down, crossing his leg over the other. "Uh, they read out of the textbooks and then told us to go study on our own what we didn't understand," I said, clasping my ha
My heart violently beat against my chest as I stared at those huge bronze doors; who could open those anyway? Maybe this was a mistake. I couldn't remember anything at all. All that I had studied was gone the moment we arrived here.What was a leader? The role of a leader is to be a big meanie in front of people because they cannot deal with their own emotions and find it better to bottle up their feelings. After all, they think they deserve to be heard. That didn't sound right. Okay, to be fair, that was a hard question; maybe I should try explaining the phenomena of the eye theory—I knew that one. Purple eyes were purple because they were powerful beings? Oh God, I'm failing!I told them I couldn't do it, I told all of them, and they convinced me I could. Fuck all of them!"Breathe," Miall said as he turned my head and made me face him. Suddenly, all the anxiousness was replaced with butterflies when I saw him smile. "There you go, you'll do great," he whispered, pressing his lips o
"Ugh, I can't wait to give birth already," I groaned as I held onto Miall's hand. We were walking on a trail with giant trees around us. So much for reserving a spot.I usually would be scared because I was sure this was where people disappeared; however, Miall brought a safe feeling."We're almost there," he laughed, squeezing my hand gently."If we had just gone home, I would've already eaten—woah," I stopped my rant as we made it out of the woods. "Blue skies? Blue skies! Are we on—" I turned to face him, and he smiled, nodding."Yes, we're on earth," he confirmed, and a scream left my lips."How!" I covered my mouth. "You didn't even open a portal, though," I whispered, looking at him.We stood on a cliff, and the scenery was beautiful. The lush green forest welcomed us with its warmth and fresh air."Nothing compares to this," I sighed, and Miall cocked his head to the side. "You know what I mean," I laughed, clinging to his arm."Yeah, your polluted air makes you happy," he rolle
"How's the child doing?" I asked Anin as soon as I saw her. "He's fine; he just has a bit of eczema and a fever from being left out there. How did you guys find him?" She asked, and I looked at Miall. "He was crying," I shrugged, and she raised her eyebrow. "While we were on a date," I whispered, and she smiled. "I see. Can I ask you for a favour?" She touched my arm, and it was my turn to raise my eyebrow."What is it?" I asked, and she nervously smiled. "May you please share some of your colostrum with the baby?""I don't have that," I answered. What is colostrum?"Amanah, we went through the different terms last week; I can't believe you've already forgotten. Your breast milk, the baby will wake up soon, and he'll be hungry.""Uhh—" I dragged, and Miall was quick to answer."Like hell she will, no." He flat-out refused."Yes, I'd love to," I smiled, clasping my hands together and looking at Miall. "Thank you so much, Amanah; I'll go get the breast pump," she ran down the hall,
