Chapter-69

Cherish's POV:

I saw a glass of juice kept in front of me, I looked at him from the corner of my eyes.

I heard him, "Your brother and friends are free... I don't have any more use of them...." He said this rudely.

He set them free, I need to meet them and say sorry.

They suffered in this without any reason.

He walked in the closet, getting out of his gym clothes.

I checked the time, but he didn't go to work?

He is skipping why???

I slept last night so deep, yet I remember the fight. I don't want to remember it.

Anyone can feel the tension between us. But isn't it natural.... after all that happened?

I picked the glass of juice as I whispered, "I need a heavy breakfast too...."

I tried to grab my phone from the table when my back felt cramp, I yelped in pain, and the glass slipped out of my hands too.

I grabbed my back, and I hated it. Ah!! I can't handle this weight now!!!

I sat back as I whispered, "This sucks!!!"

I saw Riccardo rushing to me, he might hear the glass breaking, he was on his knees, he asked, "Cherish!!... What happened? Does it hurt?... ... it's too early for this!"

He placed his hand on my belly as he asked, "Where it hurts?"

I said, sitting back properly, "I got a cramp... nothing else..." I tried to be in a comforting position.

God! Being pregnant isn't easy!

I pushed his hand off me a little because I wanted to straighten my back. I whispered, "Move....."

I noticed the anger and dissatisfaction on his face, I tried to lay back as I said, "I need to be comfortable...."

He got up, helping me, placing the pillow under my head. I grasped as I felt little comfort, He was holding my hand in his. He whispered, "Slowly..... it's fine...."

I looked at him, why he cared so much even if he was angry.

I touched my head, and I was so exhausted.

I felt his hand on my face removing the hairs, I didn't realize why I was so sweaty, too.

I whispered, "It's so hot.... Annoying ...."

He soon clicked a few buttons of the AC. I sighed.

I just wanted to do good morning, and this morning is ready to eat me alive. What is going on with my life!!

He asked, "You ok now?"

I opened my eyes to him, and I didn't want to ask him. But I did, "Rub my waist with the ointment.... Now!"

He got me pregnant he should be helping me a little.

He got up saying, "I will send the maid... Since you had so much problem from my help last night...."

I knew he would be spiteful, but I didn't care at that moment. I just want this tightness in my waist to go away.

Then I will deal with this!!

In the evening,

I looked at the outfit he sent me. He wants me to attend a party right now?

Really?

He should have told me in advance. Anyway, I didn't have a great day, I am not in the mood. But...

The maids told me there is a family get-together. So, Mom and Dad will be there, even Isaac. I hope so.

I want to see them so badly.

Plus, this is for the babies. Can I act on my feelings? Won't it be little to unfair with them?

I sighed, looking at the dress, I whispered, "Is being a mother like this... You don't care about how you would feel? How tired and sick you are? Just them...."

Author's POV:

Riccardo checked the time again, He was getting annoyed and angry at the same time. He wanted her to meet and present herself for the first time in front of his family and friend, he wanted to introduce the good news too.

And she was acting up, being late on the get-together kept for her and the babies. This was enough to make him angry.

The maid bowed again as she said, "Sorry, Mr. Valentine, Madam didn't let us enter the room... She said she couldn't come..."

The last string of patience broke in him. He walked upstairs as fast as he could. He had enough.

He was ready to face anything at that moment.

He walked into the room, and he saw her sitting on the sofa looking out. He called her, "Cherish!"

She realized he was here. She looked away, wiping her face. He did notice the room had scattered clothes and other things. One can mistake the room for a war zone. She was wearing the dress he ordered for her, then why did she refuse to come with him.

He furrowed as she wiped her face she looks away. As far as he remembered, there was not much happened since morning that she would cry.

He asked, "I asked you to get ready...."

He said, annoyed, "We are getting late!!"

She whispered, lowering her head, "I am.... not in mood..." She was hiding her face with her free, messy hair very well.

Riccardo walked closer to her as he said, "I have no spare time for new Act, Wife... This is important... Everyone deserves to know we are having kids!"

She looked at him angry as she said, "I won't!!! Is it hard to understand!!! ... Those are easy words!!!" Her red eyes caught his attention. She sniffed a little hiding her face again as she whispered, "Just... leave me alone..."

It bothered him so much, He walked closer to her as he asked, "What is wrong?"

She shook her head in 'NO'.

He asked again a little sweeter this time, "Cherish... Why are you crying?" He noticed the mirror from the corner of his eyes. It had a big crack in the middle.

She whispered, "I... I can't come...."

He asked, sitting next to her, "Why?"

She shook her head again, and she sobbed this time. He was getting worried until he saw her clutching her dress near her waist.

He pulled her hand off, seeing the zipper wide open. The dress had a side zipper, and it was wide open. She whispered. "Stop... making fun of me...."

She was hiding looking at him, and he still asked, "What is the problem in it?" he did notice there was no way that the zipper would go up.

She said, losing her patience, "I am fat!!! the dress won't fit!!! Nothing in the closet fits me well enough!!!! I look ugly!!!"

He stayed silent, She threw the shoes he got her, and she said, "Those damn things don't even fit me!!!! I look so ugly!!!"

Her tears flowed down her cheek. He knew she was a kind of girl who always liked to be perfect. Pretties among the rest. Was this change too much for her?

He said, "I got the wrong size... It's not your fault..." He was careful enough to order a size for six months pregnant women, but he skipped to mention she was pregnant with twins, and maybe they got a smaller size.

She said, cutting his words, "I know.... they are bigger than my usual size... plus those shoes... I am just too fat for everything!!!"

She looked away as she said, "I will not go... You can leave alone...."

He pulled her chin to himself. He was about to speak when she said, "Nobody wants to be spotted with an ugly woman."

She said harshly, "Just go!!!"

He pulled her face to himself again, and he said, "I don't mind... Whatever happens..... You are prettier than anyone...."

He placed his hand on her belly as he said, "This is necessary for them.... I want you to gain a few more pounds for them.... And how you look doesn't matter to me...."

Cherish whispered, "You want me to be ugly......" Her face showed dissatisfaction.

He said, "I can't explain.... But...."

He said, "You got sexy since you are pregnant...." Her face turned red as she noticed he was looking at her chest. They indeed grew.

Riccardo placed his both hand on her belly, kissing it. He said, "You look beautiful, even when they are resting here.... I know they will be as beautiful as you..."

Cherish yelped as she grabbed her belly. Her eyes were big, and Riccardo got worried as he asked, "What... What happened?"

She whispered, "Someone... Kicked from inside...."

She looked down at her stomach, she was smiling all of a sudden, Riccardo asked, "They kicked..... where?"

His excitement was all over his face. She grabbed his hand, forgetting the anger, and everything happened in the past few months, so did he.

She placed his hand on a specific place as she said, "Here...." He was so concentrated there, as if he wished he could feel them a little.

It happened again. This time, it was harder. She grasped but smiled again, Riccardo's eyes were filled with happiness. He kissed her belly again, and he whispered, "Thank you..."

He heard Cherish, "The baby is so strong...."

His smile never stopped. He looked back at her belly as he whispered, "Be kind to your mother.... Love you..." He kissed her belly again.

He got up to connect his lips to her forehead. She was frozen, and she decided to stay angry, but it was failing miserably. Like these babies didn't want their parents to be apart, they intervened.
