Chapter 47: Chapter 47

The early morning rays illuminated the bedroom through the window. Kate stirred hoping to cling to Alvin but turned out she was touching an empty bed. She sat up yawning then poured herself some water then proceeded to do her early morning routine.

Soon she was strolling around the house. Her mom was still asleep so she went looking for him thus found him after searching for some time in the field playing basketball with Louis drenched in sweat which was unlike him.

" Morning boys!! Louis missed a shot so he grumbled neglecting her greeting. She giggled walking into the court while Alvin kissed her.

" Good morning Kate. How is the baby doing? Louis dropped the basketball. His sullen face turned to that of surprise enveloping her in a hug

" Finally, you're having a baby. What kept you so long? Congratulations big sis" he exclaimed rubbing her growing bump. He was really looking forward to having a nephew.

" We need to celebrate this. It's new year's eve and I know just the place but before that let's get you fed. I hope I become a real doctor soon " he squirmed running into the house while expressing himself with a few ' yes' mentally punching the air.

Alvin chuckled drawing her closer to him cupping her cheeks while she leaned into it with her eyes close praying it stays that way allowing him to stare at her with fervor. His eyes held so much compassion.

She opened her eyes failing to notice it cos she was looking at his calloused hands before meeting his enthralled eyes.

" Our baby is fine Alvin. We need to see the gynecologist for an ultrasound though. I could use the exercise. I'm good at playing basketball" she suggested earning a glare from him which she obeyed dropping the ball.

" Let's go hiking. Believe me, it's good for the baby" she said to him instead of holding his hands while he cooperated. Letting her dangle their hands.

" Do you really want to go to a party? You know that's what Louis meant right?

" Yeah. I need it myself. So do you" she smiled looking forward to it.

The Walk was quiet though Kate tried to start a conversation one way or the other but he didn't say much. She was set to believe he was putting up with her but she won't tell him that she preferred it to his mood swings.

Breakfast was served with Louis laughing most of the time. He was looking forward to being an uncle. Mrs. Patterson was no different.

" Kate, what are you going to name him ? Louis asked eagerly.

" Him? She tends to disagree when Alvin spoke " Simon" which had her frowning. She recalled her dream or rather the nightmare ready to disagree.

" We're not naming him that. It's old school. Alvin, please don't call him that if it's a he" she whined seemingly serious as well. He nods then she muttered thanks.

" Wait, how old is it? Mrs. Patterson asked in ecstasy

" Three months.." Louis cut in

' and you don't know the sex? C'mon, we're in a modern world is. Go and get it done. It's very important" he lectured as she hands up.

" Fine. You're the doctor. What do you think Alvin? She knew he was off that morning. He barely spoke to her which had her thinking she offended him. Not when she was getting comfortable with him.

" Let's do that when we get home. " He agreed.

The dinner continued with Louis still asking questions here and there, telling her about conception and pregnancy. Mrs. Patterson will add one or two words explaining the three trimesters and labor. She had her ears full while Louis instructed Alvin about his role in it.

The only thing he asked was if it was safe to have sex at the moment which had Kate choking while he tried to calm her down and asked again after she was alright.

The neighbors entered to congratulate them on bringing different cuisines and gifts to them. They were invited to dinner. Mrs. Patterson discussed with them about the good old days.

Meanwhile, Kate wasn't comfortable with having a gloomy Alvin. She sat on his lap caressing his hair which had him looking at her.

" Are you okay? You've been awfully quiet lately. Something on your mind? He hummed drawing circles on her lap with his fingers while she raised his chin staring into his eyes then kissed him while stranding him.

Alvin watched her kiss him asking for entrance which he granted then she withdrew pushing him to the bed hovering over him raining kisses on his chest down to his torso.

" Still won't talk to me? She muttered licking and nibbling on his skin then faced him.

" What's wrong? Is it what I said? Please talk to me" she pleaded to resume her assault on his body.

" I'm fine. You didn't do anything" with that he pulled her in for a kiss roughly leaving her breathless when he was done.

" Get dressed. We're going to that party" with that he was gone. She was still panting cussing her luck but did what he said.

She and Louis were playing cards with their mother who was a pro at it.

" Mom, you won again. I'm done being a loser. Kate, how could you stand this for twenty years?

' I do it for fun. Mom never really gave me a choice. Maybe I wasn't really interested in learning or mom is a champ. Can't beat her in my dreams either sorry Louis" she gave him an apologetic smile.

" Whatever I'm done. " Said Louis standing up.

" Where's your husband? The bouncer might not let us in. Go get him." He encouraged as she shrugged.

" He'll be down soon"

" Children concentrate, I'm just warming up. Loser's your turn" she pointed at Louis who grumbled then continued playing. Kate looked at the stairs the moment she heard footsteps and saw Alvin climbing down.

" Wow. Your hubby is all dolled up for you. Lucky you" Louis commented as Kate blushes taking him into view with sweatpants and an Armani sleeve shirt. His hair was ruffled' when did he had a haircut' she thought. Mrs. Patterson just poked her. It was too obvious she was gawking at him.

" Sorry, I'm late fellas. I had a video meeting. Shall we? He stated taking Kate's hands.

" Mom, we'll see you later," Kate said hugging her, a kiss then walked out of the door with them while a chauffeur directed them to the car.

" Is that our ride? Alvin, we don't need a grand entry" she complained uncomfortably about riding in a limo to a party.

' This is who I am Kate. I can't change it"

" Just for today. please! You're not dressed like one either" she whined which had Louis chuckling at the lovebirds.

" I'll pick" Louis chimed in pointing to an SUV

" Anything you say" he shrugged waiting for the driver to pick them up.

Louis technically abandoned them immediately after they entered the biggest party in town. Kate sneered at his tactics to use Alvin for a pass then grabbed a glass of cranberry juice to drink while they were led to a table.

" It's a grand party and you shouldn't drink that. Not nice" he spoke taking it from her and handing her a glass of orange juice instead. She squinted her eyes but took it.

" Thank you. Do you want to dance? she asked dropping the horrible juice on the table taking his hands.

" Like right now? He asked drawing her back as she slammed to his chest from the impact.

" Are you okay? I didn't mean to" he said apologetically

" Make it up to me with a dance. C'mon, the dance floor" she said while trailing her index finger seductively over his shoulder locking gaze with him then led him to the dancefloor.

Alvin shrugged trailing behind to the dancefloor where craziness was taking place.

Kate scoffed then dropped her jacket revealing a high low red dress.

Alvin didn't know what came over him as he joined her tracing her curves with his hands despite the little bump. To him, she was as sexy as hell. Maybe it was because she won't stop writing on him. The dance continued as he drew her to himself with no space between them caressing her cheeks, her arm, shoulder, back then raised her so she could wrap her legs around his waist while she does the same to him: feeling his muscles and skin blowing soothing air on them.

They stayed that way staring at each other then she tilt her head backward as he planted a lingering kiss on her neck with heavy breathing with her hands on his hair.

Most couples were staring at them which had Louis looking their way. He smiled and continued with his business. He was glad they were still in love.

The couple disengaged from each other panting with lips almost touching waiting for who to make the first move then she closed the space with a hot lingering kiss with muffled moans as his hands roam her body.

" Let's go home" he muttered barely audible caressing her hair slowly. She licked her lips agreeing with him as they left the club.

' you okay? He asked helping her into the car.

' yeah. Just.. nevermind" she stuttered fiddling with her hands as he scoffed holding them

" It's nothing to be ashamed of. Hey, you get out" he ordered the driver who was about to enter the pilot seat.

" What are you doing? Alvin, it's not safe" she stated as he took off her underwear then rolled the seats down.

" Louis said otherwise" she wanted to argue. When did he ever listen to her little brother but she was in no position to argue as he smashed his lips on hers hungrily.

Alvin initially drove her home at midnight then carried her straight to the bedroom tucking her in bed. He caressed her hair staring at her then at her bump and ran his hands through his hair as well. He was confused, contemplating, and content.

He lay beside her as she snuggled to him opening her eyes.

" We're home? That was fast" she whispered lying on him while he moved uncomfortably filling her up.

They woke up to the voice of a raging Louis telling tales of how he got stranded without a ride with the driver and how some random girls gave him a ride thanks to the horny couples.

' oh, poor Louis" Mrs.Patterson said hugging him while Kate rubbed her neck in embarrassment as Alvin chuckled taking a seat.

' I'm sorry Louis. I didn't mean to. You left us to ourselves and the club was a very big one. We couldn't have found you even if we looked' she spoke remorsefully

" I wanted you guys to enjoy yourself. It seems I overdid it. The party was awesome. Everyone was talking about you guys. Man, Kate, you rocked Alvin. Wow,' he complimented giving her a thumbs up.

' I have to go. Get ready for a bonfire night. We're having a party today. You know how it's done right? With that, he was out of the door.
