As soon as Stanley shut the bathroom door behind him, Lauren began to undress. When she was in nothing but her panties, she turned to the mirror and took a glance at her body.
The glance turned into a few minutes admiration of herself. Her face was puffy and a bit red which was expected because of all the tears she shed. She noticed she had lost a little bit of weight and lastly she caressed her still flat belly.
She couldn't believe a little human was growing in her. Not just any little human but the one which is a product of She and Stanley's love; The man she loves more than anything in the world.
"Hi, peanut." She looked down at her belly with so much adoration in her eyes. Happy tears welled up in her eyes too. This was the first time she had the nerve to talk to her precious miracle since she discovered that she could be 99% pregnant.
"Forgive Mommy for being sceptical about you. Please
Stanley was able to get in touch with his doctor who recommended an ob-gyn, Charlotte Nice. He made an appointment on behalf of Lauren which was at 10 am tomorrow.Stan wanted Lauren to take the day off work because he felt that she needed more rest but it ended up not happening. Wrenny assured him she was fine and fit to go on with her every day's activities. He agreed on the account that he was going to bring her home if she gets slightly tired.Stan's eyes never left Laurens' throughout work. They both had breakfast before they left her apartment this morning and he made sure she had a healthy snack for brunch and a proper meal for lunch.After Lauren's confession yesterday, Stanley was determined to always make her happy and feel worthy of herself. (with or without a baby). All Dan said to her was bullshit and nobody deserves to be humiliated like that, most especially Lauren who was the most caring and selfles
A few days later."Remember I warned you before you put me in charge of this huge project. It may not be as brilliant as you want or predict it would be but I promise you that I did my best to make this place as beautiful and homey as possible.""I'm also excited for you to see what myself and the team have done. So papa bear, I hope you enjoy this tour that I'm about to give you." Lauren completed.Stan smiled, "I can't wait to see how you've transformed our new home."Okay then, let me show you around, MI Amor." Wrenny connected her hand with Stan's own and ushered him to the entrance of their medium size mansion.He needed no introduction on the renovations done to the front yard of the house because he has seen them a couple of times and had commended Lauren on the work done.Lately, Lauren has been spending her daytime between working for Stanley a
"You excited?" Stan asked as he took his eyes off the road for a second to take a glance at Lauren who was seated beside him, on the front passenger's seat."I don't know, Should I be?" She said shyly as she toyed with her fingers."There's nothing to be worried about babe. I'm sure this evening will be one of the best moments of my parents' life.""You're carrying their grandchild which is one of the best surprises you can ever give them. Just be prepared because they are going to be all over you, fussing about peanut."Lauren smiled and lovingly caressed her belly with her right hand.Everyone who knew Lauren knew she had a perfectly flat stomach but she started noticing a bulge two days after her first Doctor's appointment.She was beyond excited and had called Stanley to come see it. The duo were happy, knowing their baby was healthy and growing well.&nbs
Despite Stanley's assurance that there was no need for Lauren to feel guilty about the way she told him of peanut's existence, Lauren sort of felt the need to make it up to him. This was Stanley's first time in experiencing fatherhood and she wanted to make each and every moment special.Stanley walked out of the bathroom in his usual nighttime attire. (his sweat pants and no shirt on)He smiled when he saw Wrenny standing in front of her dressing table. Though she was deep in thought, she had a proud smile on her face and was caressing her three months old bump. Something she had grown so fond of lately.Stan bridged the gap between himself and the love of his life, he circled his arms around her waist and kissed her right shoulder, bringing her out of her thoughts."What are you thinking about my love?" He whispered.Lauren turned around to face him. She wrapped her arms ar
A few weeks later.Sixteen weeks Pregnant!Stanley and Lauren could not contain their excitement. In a few minutes, they will be finding out their baby's gender. The duo had talked about and predicted the gender. It turned out they were fine with peanut being a boy or a girl. A healthy baby is all that matters and what they pray for."Your palms are sweaty, " Lauren said to Stanley. They were both seated on one of the double couches in the reception and they had their hands intertwined.Stan chuckled, "I can't help it.""It's fine if you don't want us to know the gender today. We can wait until the baby is born." Lauren proposed.Stanley gave Lauren's hand a light squeeze. "There's no need for that. I want to find out peanut's gender as much as you want to.""I promise you I'm really excited. I guess I'm just a little overwhelmed becaus
Lauren was in her office going over some documents for Stanley when she heard a knock on her door.Before she could give the person permission to come in, the individual peeked a head through the door."Will mama bear be chanced to see me or should I come back later because she's busy doing something for papa bear?"Lauren blushed."Don't be silly Katherine. You know you're always welcome to my office."Kate smiled and made her way in. Though they work in the same office building, they've not seen each other today and it was way past afternoon.Lauren stood up behind her desk to embrace her friend in a hug.Katherine returned the hug, careful not to hurt peanut in the process."Hi, my love" She caressed Wrenny's bump to greet peanut."I hope he's not being naughty?" Kate asked.
23 weeks pregnant!Instead of falling asleep, Lauren found herself tossing and switching positions on the bed.She would have slept like a baby if Stanley was beside her. He would have cradled her possessively yet carefully as if she was his most precious item.To top it all, Peanut wasn't having it this night. He seemed to have noticed his Mom and Dad were having a small fight so he kept moving and kicking every few minutes, making it hard for Lauren to fall asleep.She placed her left hand on her belly, exactly where peanut's kicks were coming from."Sweetheart, Mommy has to sleep. Can you please be nice? I already feel guilty about what I did and the last thing I need is for you to keep kicking me, making me feel even more guilty." Lauren said as another set of fresh tears rolled down her cheeks.She had no doubt peanut sensed the atmosphere be
After what seemed like forever that she had been crying, Lauren's phone rang. She thought of ignoring it but she changed her mind when she saw the caller ID.With shaky hands, she picked up her phone and swiped to answer."Sorry I missed your call Wrenny, I was far away from my phone." Katherine apologized."It's okay." She replied with a voice that made Kate realize she was crying."What is it, Lauren? Are you okay? Is peanut okay? What about Stanley? Please talk to me." Kate said, already at alert.Hearing the concern in her friend's voice, fresh tears rolled down Wrenny's cheeks."You're scaring me, Lauren. Do you need me to come over?" Katerine asked, not caring that where she was was almost a forty minutes drive to Lauren's place."There's no need for you to come over. I got into an argument with Stanley and it ended pr
