"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!

    "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.

    " 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.

    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?
