“Of course, I’m stressed, and I should be. It’s been months and I’m still not pregnant…even though we’ve been trying and trying…” I said as my emotions took over me. My voice cracked and I started sobbing.
“These things can take time and stressing about it isn’t going to help and you know that. Don’t worry so much. It’s not like we’re in a rush…” Edward said as he stroked my head comfortingly.
“Should we go see the doctor…” I whispered desperately.
Maybe we need help from the doctors. Maybe we should just get IVF. Perhaps that is the solution to our problem.
“No. We’re not going to see the doctors or get any help about this. I think you’re over stressing and overthinking everything related to this and it’s starting to get very unhealthy for you. Your health physically and mentally is my top concern
“Sure…” Edward replied as he bent down to kiss me on the cheek.“Edward…I love you,” I said, meaning every word.“Go get your pregnancy test. If it’s positive, I’ll take you to see the doctor,” Edward replied smoothly.He didn’t seem so concerned or excited at all. It was like he was sure that the result would turn out positive. I wished that I could have surprised him but that didn’t seem possible anymore. I also wished that he would look a little more excited that I could be pregnant. Like, seriously, it’s finally happening so I wished he would react even if it’s just a little more…I peed on a pregnancy stick once again. I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve peed on these things. Thinking back, I was very excited and anxious when I first purchased and used this thing for the first time. That was my first time, but I got a positive
**5 Years Later**“Mummy! Wow! You’re here early today!”“Yes! I am…” I called out cheerfully before crouching down with both my arms outstretched.I watched with a mix of pride and joy as I watched a very cute and smiley red-haired boy run straight into my outstretched arm. He hugged me and I hugged him tightly in return.“Hi, Ryder. How was your day at school?” I asked as I gazed into his beautiful eyes. At least, he has my eyes.“It was awesome!” he replied energetically.“Cool! Well, it’s time to go home. Daddy will be back early today too!” I said excitedly.“Wow cool!” Ryder exclaimed excitedly as he raced off ahead towards the parking lot.“No running! Ryder!” I called after him and surprisingly, my little boy stopped in his track and waited for me to catch up to him in my wobbly
A few seconds after those words left my mouth, the front door opened, and Edward walked in along with the troublesome twins. Roseline had her dark hair braided and held her father’s hand. Roseline clearly had Edward in the palm of her hand and was already a pro at sucking up to her father. I decided to give my girl a name similar to my own mother’s name as another way of thinking of her.Edward named the other twin after his mentor, ironically that was my father, so his name is Devon. These three little devils are responsible for keeping Edward and I challenged and super preoccupied.“Mummy…I’m so…hungry…” Devon said as he walked up to me and hugged my leg.“Food is ready. Let’s go to the dining room,” I said as I patted his head before taking his small hand into mine.Edward walked up beside me before placing a sweet kiss on my cheek.&ldqu
“Daddy!” the boy cried out happily as he hugged his father.“Say hello to my good friend. This is Reiner. Reiner, this is my eldest son, Ryder,” Edward quickly introduced the two to each other.“Hello, Sir. My name is Ryder Rosenhall. It is a pleasure to meet you,” the boy said cheerily and with impeccable manners.“I’m Reiner. It’s a pleasure to meet you too,” Reiner replied back before smiling a little at the boy and patting his head.When the boy looked up to smile at him in return, Reiner found himself looking into a pair of very familiar eyes. The boy had his mother’s kind eyes, Natalia’s eyes. He watched as the boy went about eating his food, clearly enjoying himself.“Did you name him?” Reiner asked Edward quietly.“No, his mother did,” Edward replied before smiling at his friend.“I se
I hoped that the children wouldn’t grow up too fast so that we could slowly enjoy and savor these wonderful moments together. I patted their heads in turns as I thanked them for the presents that they had prepared.I glanced over at Edward who was watching this loving scene unfolding with a warm and tender smile on his face. I was sure that Edward had helped all the children pick out their presents for me and, once again, I was so thankful to Edward. He has done so much for me and our children.“Thank you so much everyone for the presents!” I thanked my children with a large smile on my face.Edward came up to hug me lovingly from behind before kissing my temple softly. I took his hands into mine and leaned into his warmth.“Time for bed, kids,” Edward said in a mockingly stern voice.I glanced at the clock on the wall and found that it was much later than I thought it was. It was already
“No, Madame. Is he a friend of yours that got lost? Should I help you search for him?” the guard offered with genuine concern.“No! It’s ok…I…I have to go…” I said in a hurry before sprinting away.I can’t waste any more time. Where could Reiner be?I stopped in my tracks when a thought suddenly hit me.The tree.Without any more thought, I started sprinting to that old tree where I had spent time with him around when we first met. I was breathless by the time that I arrived. Then my heart almost stopped as I spotted a silhouette of a tall man deep in the dimly lit garden.“R! Please wait! R!” I shouted so loud that I was shocked at how loud I could be.I ran towards him as fast as I could, ignoring the tall grass and dry leaves scratching at my feet and ankles. There was no way he couldn’t hear me at this distant. 
“I’m sure they’ll enjoy it. I don’t know why you’re so worried and stressed out about this,” Zak spoke to me through the phone. He sounded so amused about all this, but I felt anxious and uncertain.“I don’t know. It’ll be their first time so…” I replied hesitantly.“It’ll be fine. I’ll be there to help you if anything happens but honestly, nothing will happen, Natalia. You’re just over thinking things…” Zak assured me calmly.I could picture his overly confident face as he said those words. After the matter with his mother had settled down, Zak did what was the most responsible thing to do which was to support Lucien fix the family business together. It was amazing to look back and see how much those two have achieved together. The company was set on the right course and was able to maintain its leadership position in the industry.
The children really did seem like they were having fun. They chatted up the many celebrities like it was nothing and also enjoyed walking around. Edward, who was extra worried because he couldn’t be here in person, had sent a pretty large army of bodyguards to guard me and his children. To be honest, I felt like they were more like over-paid babysitters instead. This event already had plenty of security and Zak never turned up to these events without an army of bodyguards of his own.“Yes, thanks to you and congratulations on another movie!” I said happily as I smiled at Zak.“Thank you, Madame,” Zak said teasingly as he took my hand in his and squeezed it.After Madame Francesca was arrested and things had quiet down somewhat, Zak and Annie finally got married. I had hoped, not for my own sake but for Zak’s sake, that perhaps the engagement would be called off because of the scandal around his mother but tha
“I don’t want to know them, and I don’t want to know how you came to know them,” I spat back.Reiner chuckled at my heated speech before he pulled me back into his arms again. I pouted at him before I rolled my eyes at him again in annoyance.“I don’t know any girly names at all. Maybe I have to leave this one to you too,” Reiner murmured as if deep in thought.I wasn’t surprised that he didn’t have any good ideas for names. Even for the boys, Reiner didn’t have any solid ideas that would seem to work. In the end, I was so happy that I came up with Ryder and Lance. Honestly, I didn’t care if other people didn’t like their names. I loved it and they are my sons, so it was right for me to name them. Period.“I have a few names in mind actually. Something like Dahlia, Melody, or Anastasia…” I voiced my options proudly.It wasn’t just Reiner who had been thinking of baby names, I also did my homework as well. The options are not at all finalized but we still had many months ahead of us to
“Maybe…I don’t know…” I murmured before I continued panting and moaning on top of him.I wanted him to thrust into me from below, but Reiner never liked that idea when I was pregnant. He was scared that he would be too forceful and rough with me.“R…fuck me. Can you please…move?” I begged.“Isn’t it risky?” he asked.“It should be fine. I’ll tell you if it gets too rough,” I replied reassuringly.At around 8 weeks our pretty little baby was probably around less than an inch somewhere in my womb so I doubt that his cock could do the baby much damage at this point. I made a mental note to tell Reiner that some other time.I nodded at Reiner to confirm that it was fine. He hesitated for a moment before he thrusted his hips up and pounded his cock into my wet cunt from below. His cock buried itself deeper and harder into my pussy and I cried out at the mind-blowing pleasure. Our hips moved together at the same rhythm as we enjoyed the pleasure of our wild mating. His cock stroked my pussy
“I’m fine. This baby is really taking it easy on me,” I replied before smiling at him.His blue eyes were captivatingly beautiful as he stared deeply into my eyes. Slowly, I leaned in closer to him before kissing him softly on the lips. His lips were warm and so soft. I couldn’t stop kissing him. Our small and soft kissing quickly transformed into more aggressive and demanding ones as our desire started to take control.His tongue probed my lips open before it slipped in to explore the depth of my mouth as I moaned softly into our wet kiss. I kissed him back fervently as my body began yearning for the comfort of his love. Reiner pulled me closer against his hard frame while I captured his face in between my hands to deepen our kiss. My core throbbed with desire, and I wanted him to take me.His hands rove around my body, seeking and stroking my curves until I whimpered softly into our kiss. My desire burned brightly in the pit of my stomach, and I could feel that my pussy was already
“What about mummy?” Lance asked as he wiped tears from his eyes. “Stop crying, Lance. You’re a man. Mummy is fine. I’ll take her home soon,” Reiner replied sternly.Lance is a boy. He’s a young boy. I corrected Reiner in my head. Reiner led the hesitant boys out of the room before returning to my side. He had a worried look on his face and I wondered what was wrong. “I’ll call for the doctor,” Reiner mumbled before turning away. I blinked in confusion at how strangely he was behaving. Did something happen while I was out?“The doctor will be here soon,” Reiner told me after getting off the call. “Is something wrong…with me?” I asked more in confusion than worry.Reiner hesitated before he told me to wait for the doctor to arrive. A short while after, the doctor arrived and after knocking on the room’s door, she walked in. “Hello. How are you feeling?” the doctor asked with a kind smile.Another nurse followed her in and began checking on the IV drip that was attached to my arm.
“The instructor is recommending him for a more advanced class. Of course, I already gave the greenlight to that. No point in holding him back if he can go much further,” Reiner told me casually before he began cheering and clapping.Lance had probably just performed another violent miracle. I was so relieved when his session came to an end. “Let’s go outside,” Reiner said as he offered me his hand. “Outside?” I asked. “Yup. It’s going to be Ryder’s turn soon and you don’t want to miss this, trust me,” Reiner said with utmost confidence.I wasn’t sure if I wanted to see what I was about to see. Regardless, I came here after deciding to play the role of a supportive mother and that was what I intended to do until the very end. “Did you…do something like this when you were a boy?” I asked in wonder.“Of course. I probably did much more than them. King was much stricter with me than he is with our sons, and of course, I’m not as strict as King is with my sons. Sometimes I feel like I’
“Oh…yes?” I replied after snapping out of my thoughts. “Ryder and Lance are asking if you want to watch them train this weekend,” Reiner repeat our son’s request.“Oh…sure…I’ll be there,” I replied while still a little confused.“Yay! Mummy’s finally joining us!” Ryder exclaimed cheerfully while Lance clapped his hands and cheered. Since the arrival of the boys and since they started talking, the mansion was never the same again. The peaceful and quiet atmosphere was utterly destroyed. Nowadays, the place was filled with the boys laughing, screaming, and running around. It was almost always loud when they were home apart from the time when they were asleep. It was a change that I had learnt to appreciate. “Are you sure?” Reiner whispered close to my ear to keep his words out of the boy’s earshot.I knew why he was asking. I wasn’t a big fan of watching the boys participating in those pretty…barbaric events. Reiner went with them all the time and helped King and the other instructor
Choosing names for our children was a very challenging task. I learnt from Ryder’s case that our child needed two names. One that would be kept a secret and known only to his parents and grandparents and another name that he would use in public. That was when I realized that Reiner’s name isn’t really Knight. It had never dawned on me before that Reiner’s name wasn’t Knight. I never got around to adopting that name for him and had stuck to calling him Reiner or R. Of course, he never minded, and I thought that it was cute and special for me to be the only one that called him this way. However, it completely slipped my mind that Reiner probably had another name that I knew nothing about. He never mentioned it to me at all. Never mind Ryder’s real name, choosing his public name turned out to be a very political thing. There were many requirements involved that were imposed by King. The name also had to be unique and never used by any agent preceding him. We had many options nominated
At first, I was against it; however, as Ryder got older it became painfully obvious to me that he was eager to follow in the footsteps of his grandfather and his father. It also became evident that he possessed outstanding skills for him to become a leading agent. King was beyond thrilled and spent the majority of his time with Ryder from such a young age while Reiner continued to manage the company. “I’m not sure if Ryder should be taking lessons like that…” I voiced my concern to Reiner straightforwardly. It shocked me when Ryder turned up and showed me how to assemble and then disassemble a gun and he could do it at lightning speed. I couldn’t believe that the red-haired boy that was grinning up at me while holding a gun that he had put together was really my son. “It’s common. Treat it like a sport…a combat sport,” Reiner replied like it was nothing. “Did you do something like this when you were younger too?” I asked, still in disbelief. “Yup. He’s pretty much going through t
In the end, my fears of having a sexless life were unfounded. Being the caring husband that he was, Reiner arranged for us to have a session with a doctor who walked us through various sex positions that were considered safe and recommended for the various stages of pregnancy. The session didn’t just reassure me, but it helped to ease Reiner’s worries that he could be hurting our baby when he made love to me. After that session, after his worries had been laid to rest, Reiner reverted to his old lusty self, and we ended up having sex like we normally did but with extra caution. Getting our sex life back on track made us both happier. Reiner was very professional about his work even when he moved to work back at home with me. That meant that sex was only allowed during lunch breaks and after working hours. I had to say that he made a great CEO. …**A few months later**“Does this feel good?” Reiner asked close to my ear. “Ahhh…yes…” I moaned in reply. “Your breasts are much more se
