" You look beautiful," Aaron complimented her.
Mina scoffed when she heard that; he hadn't seen her stretched marks and strange cravings.
" You don't need to be polite, Aaron. I know I'm not close to the word beautiful."
Aaron frowned as he stepped closer, his arms gently caging her.
"What are you doing?"
" Can I kiss you?" he asked.
He expected her to push him away, but instead she laced her fingers in his hair, pulling her closer, and she kissed him with hidden emotions. Aaron wrapped his hands around her waist. He lifted her leg, caressing it. Mina pulled away when she felt his hard cock pressing on her bump.
She pressed her forehead on his.
"I've missed you," she confessed
"Me too. You taste like mango. My new favourite ."
Mina flushed. If he knew what she'd added to the mango, would it still be his favourite?
"Let's get inside", Mina suggested.
" Look who finally decided to come in after making out in front of my front door." Naarah sarcastically said
Mina blushed, and Naarah wouldn't make her hear the end of it.
********************************************
Mina lay on the couch, lifting her blouse.
" What are you doing?" Aaron asked with a frown.
" What? Lifting my blouse? Any problem?"
Mina asked, rolling her eyes.
Every day, Aaron's obsessed and possessive self gets the better of him. They were waiting for the sonographer to perform the ultrasound. Aaron had to make sure it wasn't any male.
" Good afternoon, Mr and Mrs Vertecio, I'm Ann, your sonographer for today."
Aaron's lip curled up when he heard the title, he felt good when someone called Mina with his last name. He had to make sure he made that dream happen.
" Are you ready, Mrs. Vertecio?" the doctor asked
Mina nodded, and Aaron held her hand. But she could feel his palm damp with sweat.
' Was he scared? It is rare to witness this side of Aaron.'
She squeezed his hand before looking at him. She gave him a reassuring smile, which made him nod at her.
" There we go…. that's the baby's head. And right there- see that flicker, that is the heartbeat.
Aaron looked at Mina, he couldn't believe he was witnessing this day. Heck, it never crossed his mind to have a baby or an ultrasound. However, here he was, having one with the woman of his dreams. They were going to be parents, a little family he never thought he would have.
Mina's locked with Aaron's, she looked at him with teary eyes. She knew it. She knew she was falling for him, and she couldn't draw a line between them.
' Can she let him in fully? A part of her has allowed him in, but she had to stand her ground. '
The doctor printed the image and handed it to them carefully.
" Everything looks good, your doctor will follow up. Congratulations, Mr.and Mrs. Vertecio
