That was no surprise to her. He was tall, his unruly, wavy hair that fell over his sparsely bearded face in orderly disarray made him almost exotic among the uptight. He was manly, a really handsome man! It would be strange if it didn't draw attention.

Alexis felt proud to be at his side.

"Are you just going to eat this?" He pointed at the plate full of vegetables.

" I found that's basically what I can handle!" A bunch of unseasoned greens! She was biting into a celery stick.

"Are you taking the medicine the doctor ordered?"

“Yes, I started as soon as I bought them. And I noticed that it is in the morning that my stomach is a little more sensitive.

"And the doctor said it tends to get better with time."

" I hope so.

Ethan barely contained a sigh, in between a mouthful of his well"done steak. She seemed less tense that day. She still didn't speak very enthusiastically about the pregnancy or more deeply, but maybe that was normal. It had been one thud after another. He hoped that with t

    Ethan had been pinned to the spot for a few minutes, admiring the beautiful landscape.Alexis lying on the huge bed, her legs dangling to the floor, a white towel barely covering her body… and she was asleep! It was the vision of paradise, which he would not have access to.He closed his eyes for a moment, and then again, roaming over that silky skin that he knew so well. The plush fabric revealed a portion of her full breast and the entire lateral length of her body, including a plump thigh.He would waste a few hours kissing every inch of that silky skin. But all he could do was settle her body comfortably, so she had a peaceful night's sleep. Something he definitely wouldn't have.Resigned, he approached the bed and his gaze lingered on her face. She looked tired but serene. It was so beautiful!He gently brushed a strand of hair from her forehead, scrutinizing her face, as if to burn it into his mind. Her skin was fair, her cheeks rosy, perhaps from her recent bath. The long, curv

    She woke up slowly. Everything around her was white." Are you listening to me?A man's face appeared. She swallowed, feeling her throat dry, and shook her head:“ Where am I?”" In the company's clinic. I'm Doctor Russ. Are you feeling better?" A little dizzy… What happened?“You fainted at reception. Have you been eating right?"No, I…" Then she felt the panic return and she placed her hand on her stomach. " My baby! I'm pregnant…I…I…” She was afraid to ask.The doctor smiled sweetly:" I suspected! Calm down, you and your baby are fine. It was just a pressure drop.As he said that, she sank onto her back, her hand still pressing against her stomach."Are you certain?" Shouldn't I go see my obstetrician?“Well, it never hurts. But for now, everything is fine. I would suggest rest, light food, and fluids. If you feel dizzy again, put your legs up, and it will help, okay? Anyway, normal life. I'll let you rest a little longer... " he got up and then inquired. " Is there anyone you ca

    "I like to spoil you!"" For as long as I can remember, I've been alone! My mother worked too hard to give us a dignified life! She didn't have time to pet me. We barely saw each other! When she arrived, I was sleeping, when I woke up, she had already left! I understood that she needed to work, but I felt very alone! I know it must not have been easy for her either!He listened intently, still massaging her.“Ethan, I was so scared today when the world went dark before my eyes. All I could think about was the baby... – and you, I could have added, but pride wouldn't let me."It's all right now, dear!"She removed her legs from his lap, gently, and sat very close to him, wanting ardently to envelop her in a very tight hug. But he just threw his arm over the back of the couch behind her."I don't want to be that kind of mother to our baby!"It was the first time she said our baby. God, how he wanted to hold her! But he was afraid to do it and be disowned.“An absent mother." You will b

    "You don't know how much I wanted that!" – now she was unbuttoning his shirt. And why didn't you look for me before and get us out of this torture? " he spoke with an effort, because he was tortured by her nails that ran through his abdomen after having bared his chest." You know a stupid feeling called pride? " and then rummaged in his belt." Oh yeah! He already pushed us away once, remember?"Like I said: a silly feeling!" She paused for a moment, looking at him sensually, before pulling the leather piece free.And without stopping to look at him, he released the first button, and then he lowered the zipper...Ethan sucked in air as her small hand slipped under his jeans, finding his hard, throbbing cock.'You drive me crazy, Alexis!' His voice was a husky thread as he kissed her slowly and sensually." I want you!Then she started touching him repeatedly, masturbating him. Ethan's body temperature soared."Take it easy, love!" he whispered breathlessly against her mouth. "If you

    "I really didn't think of that!" Do you have a preference?"No. I'll be happy with whatever comes along." he said, softly, as if about to fall asleep.Alexis couldn't stop stroking him, either. He was the man of her life, the one she was starting her family with.“Ethan … I know that at first I… I wasn't taking this pregnancy well. But everything is different now. This baby is essential to me! "she thought he might have fallen asleep, it was so quiet. " And you too. " Filling her chest with air, she began. " I love …" Look! he exclaimed suddenly, startling her. "I think I felt him move."Between frustrated, relieved and amused, Alexis laughed:" Love, I think it was your impression. I didn't feel anything!" Serious? He looked disappointed. " He is sure? Because it looks like...She interrupted him laughing and pulled him in for a kiss:"The belly is mine, Mr. Marcus!" And I felt nothing! You'll have time for that, Daddy!" I liked that sound: Daddy! "then his hands came to life, cup

    It was Lucy's turn to snort in derision:"Forget it, old man!" I'll be such a good architect, you'll beg to have me in your office!

Who knows, maybe convince her to get a piercing too?Ethan took Alexis in a protective and possessive hug:"I would never allow you to pervert my girl!"

    "How are you, miss?" " the other version of Ethan, or rather, Lorenzo smiled at him complacently and held out his hand.The big difference between the two was that Lorenzo came in an impeccable suit, obviously tailored exclusively for him. And her hair was very short and her expression, although friendly, was more serious and dense.When he finally managed to come out of his trance, Alexis laughed awkwardly:" Please forgive me! It's just … It's incredible how similar you two are!"They say in the family that we are twins and that we were separated at birth!" Ethan joked, clapping his cousin on the shoulder."Only that doesn't add up, because I'm younger!" Lorenzo teased." Clear! Keep dreaming! Well, sit down here, Alexis. " he showed a place beside him on a sofa, in front of the chair in which Lorenzo was now making himself comfortable. – As I told you, my cousin is the best lawyer in New York!"Not to brag, but I am!""And modest too!"

    He looked at Alexis, but she avoided his gaze.After an instant in which Amanda was livid, while staring at the two, as if they were from another planet, she said with contempt in her voice:“You know what she's doing, don't you, Ethan? Using the oldest trick to hook you to her...“Think what you want, Amanda."Your opinion is expendable to us!" – completed Alexis.When Mor's lawyer began whispering directions in her ear, Alexis bowed to Ethan."Lorenzo hadn't said anything to me about money…" she whispered to him, who made a gesture for him to wait.“If you refuse, I will file a defamation and libel suit today. And I doubt that would be good for your reputation, would you? Lorenzo gathered his papers and stood up. “Especially if this leaks to the press, along with your appropriation of the Alexis Morgan project. Negative publicity that you can avoid, right?Amanda went pale and then flushed with anger. Norah had mentioned to Alexis that she had heard rumors that the company was not d

    Seven years later...“Noah! – Alexis called from the kitchen. "Don't try to trick me, young man!" I know you're awake! She smiled and shook her head.Soon her little boy, dark, with beautiful and expressive blue eyes and curly hair, appeared. He was the exact copy of his father. Even the heterochromia in his left eye he had. He came with his arms hanging by his sides, dragging his feet and his head down. It was the picture of defeat. But it didn't move her. Every day was the same. And he looked gorgeous in his Buzz Light"year pajamas ..." Mom, why do I have to go to school today? – he retorted. " It's too early, it's raining, it's cold, and I'm still sleepy...“Noah! She grabbed him by the collar of his blouse, leaning down and showering him with kisses, from his rosy cheeks to his neck, where she knew he tickled. " Stop being lazy, boy!" Stop, mother !" – he scolded, squirming to get rid of her hands, while trying to hide his laughter and keep an angry face.With one last kiss on h

    She nodded in agreement, seeking support in her husband's arms, she braced herself." Now. Come on, it's almost there, Alexis... " encouraged the doctor.Ethan was all agony. He hugged the woman's hard body, holding her tight and praying to heaven that it would all be over soon." Ready! – the doctor exclaimed. – A perfect baby… And with great lungs!And then they heard the little one's desperate cry. And Noah was in the world. Alexis collapsed onto the bed, smiling, her body completely given over to exhaustion now.Ethan, as soon as she was seated, went searching for his little treasure.When his eyes landed on that tiny creature that was now wrapped in a towel by the nurse, he could never put into words what he felt at that moment. It was a feeling that everything in life finally made sense. That everything was complete! And that his love for that tiny piece of people was so immense, so intense, that he would give his life for him, without even blinking.Without realizing it, he had

    Alexis sighed and stroked her enormous, nearly nine"month"old belly. As usual, he couldn't help but smile. She could not even believe that she would soon meet her already very beloved son! And thank heavens for having the smoothest of pregnancies. A little nausea or other, but nothing that bothered her too much. Now that she was heading for the final stretch, she was feeling more uncomfortable, her legs more tired, her back that wouldn't let her sleep, or sit, or walk, but still, nothing could take the smile off her face. I was delighted! And seeing the happiness of her beautiful husband, every time he looked at her or caressed her belly and talked to her little one... She asked herself if she deserved so many blessings!Ethan insisted, as did Godmother Norah, that she stay home and rest, but she just couldn't sit still. Like now, when they finished an arrangement that would be delivered the next day, and they were already closing the office. When she felt that her body was asking for

    But I knew something was missing. Even though her adoring husband didn't push her, it was no secret how much he wanted a baby. Alexis also avoided talking about this subject, as he was still too afraid to go through that situation again. But every time she saw how much love he treated his little godson, son of Eric and Eileen, the more her heart sank.So, a few weeks ago, without telling him, she had stopped taking the contraceptive… And then came the main gift she planned to give him.Grasping the handle, Alexis bit her lip and slowly opened the door.Ethan looked up at her as she walked in and leaned against the closed door, hands deep in his coat pockets. With that so beautiful, sensual and beloved sexy smile in the corner of his lips, he examined her completely and slowly:"Hmm... Especially... And those red shoes..." His pretty white teeth showed as he widened his smile. "Can I take my clothes off now?"Alexis bit her lip again, throwing her head back, in a short sensual laugh, s

    " Excellent! " and headed for the stairs. "Because all I want is to take care of you!" You must be exhausted! " already in the bedroom, he placed it carefully on the sheets. "You've had a surgical procedure, you shouldn't be walking around!" He feigned an angry expression as he freed her from her shoes.Alexis laughed and stretched out her arms, beckoning him with her hands:" It's because I needed to see you today!Ethan also quickly got rid of his shoes and went to her side:" All you had to do was call me, and I'd be back on my own axis, to you!They stared at each other for a long moment, as if memorizing each other's faces. Arms wrapped around each other, bodies very close together. As if they were one." I love you! Alexis whispered, lost in his blue eyes. "And I would give anything to be able to make love to you…" She nibbled lightly on his lip.Ethan closed his eyes, holding a sigh in his chest.“What's a few weeks? " he himself seemed not to feel firmness in his words. "And t

    'It wasn't your fault, Alexis!' Ethan stated, exasperated to see her in that state, reaching for his hand. “It was natural. The doctor told me..."But I rejected him one day!" " she interrupted him, excited, fleeing contact. "And God punished me by taking him away from me!" And I'm sorry if I let you down... " he added in a thin voice, lowering his head."You didn't let me down!" He softened, this time clasping her hands in his."But you wanted this baby so badly!" She looked at him, dejected."Yes, but that wasn't in your hands!"Alexis raised her teary eyes to him. They looked desperate, anxious. And then the words came out:"Ethan, I love you!" So much! His voice was serious. " You have become the reason for my life! But even feeling this way and feeling this way,” she subtly released her hand from his. "I can't impose myself on you...Wow! What was going on there? Alexis Morgan had just confessed that she loved him? Ethan was stunned for a moment. He couldn't believe his ears!But

    Ethan turned as Norah returned to the living room. But even without the other saying anything, she knew the answer and sighed."You know her, don't you, my friend?" " lamented the brunette."How is she, Norah?"“In a deplorable state, Ethan! Of all the blows she's taken in the last few days, I believe this was by far the biggest blow.Ethan collapsed on the couch:"She was so happy lately!" This is all very unfair! he whispered, anguished. "I need to see her!"“Better not, Ethan!“Damn it, it's my wife, Norah! I have to be by her side now!"I don't think she wants you to see her the way she is, Ethan!" She is really devastated. Give her a break, buddy!He looked at Norah, his blue eyes even more intense. Then he let his shoulders tense and rested his head in his hands."I've never felt so helpless before!" I do not know what to do...The brunette sat next to him, caressing his shoulder:"You'll come out of this situation stronger, Ethan!"" It will be? I don't really believe in it...

    “She… how did she react, Norah?”“You're in shock, Ethan. She just didn't react. It went into automatic mode after I found out what happened. He let them do what they wanted, no questions asked. And I don't know if that's a good thing, Ethan!" Can I see her? He indicated the door."He's asleep, but I am not convinced that's a problem."He put his hand on the doorknob, but stopped himself, taking several deep breaths. Then he straightened up and turned the piece of metal, very slowly."Norah, can you call the doctor, please?" – the brunette asked softly. "I'd like to speak with him."" Yes, of course…Ethan walked in and closed the door, carefully so as not to make any noise. The room was in shadow. Everything very silent. But he could see Alexis's silhouette, huddled in the middle of the white sheets. She looked so small in that bed!What the hell! Your Alexis… your baby! He covered his mouth and nose to stifle an agonized scream. It would have to be strong! He repeated to himself. F

    " The baby? Ethan's question was asked very quietly, as if he already knew and didn't want to hear the answer.The woman shook her head slightly in the negative." Oh God! he gasped, as if he'd taken a powerful blow to the stomach.Then he would bend over, bringing his hands above his knees, as if gasping for air.“I'm so sorry, Ethan! " Norah came to hug him, no longer holding back her tears." My God! " he was too agitated to be able to stay in a hug, so he accepted the touch quickly and pulled away, studying his friend's features. " And Alexis? She is fine?“He's sleeping now. They had to do a curettage, I think that's the name. She's sedated now.“She… how did she react, Norah?”“You're in shock, Ethan. She just didn't react. It went into automatic mode after I found out what happened. He let them do what they wanted, no questions asked. And I don't know if that's a good thing, Ethan!" Can I see her?
