Loveliest couple

Nicole's pov.

I was still letting his words settle somewhere in my brain when Damon beckoned on me to come forward.

"It's my fault. I wasn't looking. You don't have to fire him" I said convincingly.

He took a deep sigh and looked away. His muscles wasn't so tensed as it was earlier.

Goodness gracious.

I feebly turned to the bodyguard who wore a worried and quivering look on his face.

"You have your job back. He was just angry" I stated and he heaved a sigh of relief.

"Thank you so much, ma'am and I'm really sorry" He apologized bowing and taking steps out of the office.

"Thank you, sir. I'm very sorry" He added gazing at Damon as he left.

After the door was shut, I proceeded to sitting next to him and he still had that angry pulse on his face.

"Let that not repeat itself. Once I fire someone, you have no right to put him back on duty" He muttered daringly.

"Nice to meet you too" I replied and faced the doctor who had been watching the short scenario with Zane too.

"Goodday, Mrs Walton. Let's start the test quickly. This way, please" He said getting up and pointing.

"You need to take plenty of vitamins. According to the result, more lemons and oranges would do the trick. You're getting enough sleep, obviously and keeping your calorie intake normal. Nice work, Nicole. You're sticking to the rules for a healthy baby" The doctor said, wearing a stretched smile.

"Let me see that" Damon chipped in and snatched the tablet from him.

I rolled my eyes as he read through it.

"Alright then, let's go home" He mumbled giving the tablet back to him.

The ride back home was death. Damon was on with his arguing and I gave up halfway. I wonder how things appear in his eyes. Upside down??

How could he dwell on every single thing?

What a jerk.

"If we were to switch places, you would see that you rather sit at home with your lazy as.s taking care of our baby" He said rolling his eyes.

"I'm not lazy!---"

"Yes.you.are" He replied perking his brows.

"You know I'm not lazy! You just wouldn't let me do a single thing! How can you still go on calling me lazy when you restricted me from doing anything??" I yelled angrily.

"Yeah, right. Like, you would do anything if I let you. You keep pretending like this pregnancy is not the best thing that has ever happened to you".

"Thats not true---"

"You would also abort the baby if you had the chance. Thank God for your crazy best friend who requested for money before telling me what was really up with you" He paused and smirked.

"Please, go back to where you're coming from. I'm irritated right now!" I rasped closing my ears with my hands.

"Dying hen" He remarked and I regretted hearing him call me that.

"Choking bird" I replied and he glared at me.

I wrapped my two hands around the other and leaned back on the leather seat of the car. 

Finally! We are home...

I can finally get away from him.

   ~ Later that night ~ 

I was done having a nice hot bubble bath and dressed in my dolphin night dress. Lotions applied, hair arranged and alarm set - I was ready for bed.

Damon was yet to come into the room and I was f***king glad about that. 

I could be here and enjoy this couple of minutes before he brings his annoying self.

Gosh! I forgot to tell the doctor that I felt a funny movement in my abdomen earlier.

He would have been really excited for me.

I carefully got on the bed and maintained my favorite sleeping position which was facing heavenward. 

I'm also happy it's convenient for my baby and I.

I started hearing footsteps and I discovered he was here already. 

Shortly, the door opened and he entered walking slowly towards where I was.

He climbed up the bed and got under the duvet.

I really don't know how we could still share a bed even though we aren't the most loveliest couple.

He wouldn't take another room and so would I.

Well, not yet. It'll definitely happen when the baby comes.

"I'm hor.ny" Damon suddenly whispered and I cringed.

And that's another thing with him. His very open-minded and straight forward.

I had no idea when I shut my legs tighter.
