NateI woke up with the dim early morning light coming from the window but I did not open my eyes. I preferred to stay with my eyes closed and rest while the warmth of Maya’s body enveloped me.She was lying all over me. Her bare, swollen breasts on my abdomen, her head resting on my chest, and her arm clinging to me like a leg. Her warm breath tickled my abdomen and gave me chills but I couldn’t help but feel completely at peace with myself.I hugged and caressed her bareback with my fingers, but she didn’t move completely. Maya was completely numb, and if it wasn’t for the breath that tickled my skin, I could think she was dead.I sighed and kissed her on the head, breathing her sweet perfume, sweeter than usual, and I went back peacefully with her in my arms.I suddenly woke up with Maya freeing herself from my hug quickly. I snorted and left her while she got up and practically ran over me to run out of the room. I heard her go into the bathroom and then choke moans. I immediately

JessI snorted and tried to roll over in bed awkwardly while my nervous legs continued. I touched my belly, feeling one of the children kicking, definitely the female, I felt that she was the one who moved more than the male.For days now, I couldn’t sleep, my stomach and the pains continued. I took my cell phone and checked my messages. That afternoon I had written to Maya, and she had not deigned to answer me, she had seen the message but had not responded. Funny. It wasn’t knitted.I felt a twinge in my lower abdomen and gnashed my teeth, breathing through my nose as I waited for it to pass.Andrew, next to me, slept blissfully with his hands over his head and his blond hair ruffled. God, how sexy was he, was there a time when I wouldn’t find him sexy? I don’t think so.It was like that From the moment I saw him again at the beginning of my senior year in high school, although I had imposed myself not to have any relationship until the final exams and seeing him with other girls m

MayaA few hours beforeI watched Nate as he bleached, and Axel stood there with his mouth open, waiting for the next fork. "Dad," he said in a reproachful tone, grabbing his fork and putting it in his mouth. He must have been hungry."How much?" Nate asked.I looked down at my phone, "More than two months," I said with a string of my voice, feeling the tears rising.Why did I cry now? Again!"Okay," Nate said, super serious, and stood up.I watched him move and walk to the door and then walk out without adding anything else. I frowned at the door as I felt a burst of heat pervading me. God, I missed the air!I went to the kitchen window and opened it wide, looking out with my head to breathe deeply. I looked down, and I saw Nate walking fast through the crowd.I kept breathing deeply while my body was sweating. Heck. What now?True, we were married, and we had already planned the possibility of having children, but IN THE FUTURE, not now! Axel was still small! And I had just started

JessHours had passed, too many hours, the sun had risen, and now it was lighting up the whole room when they had finally given me my epidural. I’ve never screamed so much for a shot as I did in the last few hours. Andrew had taken all the insults that I had poured on him without fighting back, on the contrary, he was kind enough to make me cry and while I just wanted to tear my belly and put an end to that torture.Now I found my legs wide open and three people looking where only Andrew could look."Okay, Jess, is it time to push!" said the gynaecologist between my legs.I pulled myself up and looked at her with blurred vision and tears in my eyes."On three, I want you to push as hard as you can, okay?" she said again and I nodded, "One, two, three! Push!"And so I did. I pushed with all the strength in my body, feeling excruciating pain. I threw myself back on the bed exhausted and shook my head "I can’t do it" whimpering."It’s just the beginning, Jess, you have to keep pushing,"

MayaWe had to wait a few hours before they moved Jess and the children to another room. The sky had darkened, and the sun was on the horizon.Nate had gone away to make a phone call, who he said was booking an appointment with a gynecologist. He returned with the phone still in his ear while Axel slept blissfully in my arms, the pacifier between his lips as he breathed deeply."Yes, Dare," he said on the phone, "Tomorrow at six o'clock is perfect," and continued, stopping in front of me.He hung up the phone and leaned over to get Axel, for a moment, I looked at him badly, I didn’t want to disturb him while he slept."Andrew texted me that Jess woke up," Nate said, and I gave him Axel, who sighed sleepily as Nate placed him over his chest with his blonde head on his shoulders.I grabbed my bag and watched Devon and Lucas practically fall asleep in the bar chair."Jess is awake," I told them they immediately got up.Nate reached out to me, and we went to the floor where Jess and the k
