Chapter 47: Chapter 47

Since you guys asked for an epilogue. So here you are

5 years later

I was sitting on the counter kitchen munching chips and cookies in the middle of the night. Why do you ask me? Because I'm freaking starving and I ate for two now.

Sean was still at his club, doing God knows what, leaving his pregnant wife sleeping alone at this freaking big house. He didn't come for dinner or giving a call making me angry and anxious at the same time. Was he with another girl or something? I chewed angrily thinking what would I do to my so-called husband.

I was finished with my chips and quickly grabbed my cookies. I moved so fast that I didn't realize that I knocked over a vase near the counter and it fell to the floor with a loud crash making me jump a little.

I looked at the mess under my feet with annoyance. Great, another job for me. I hopped off angrily and carefully picking the glass pieces, trying not to cut myself.

"Valerie?", I heard Sean's voice behind me and I turned around, and instantly, I was met with his gaze. I knew I was mad at him but still, I couldn't resist his charm.

When he saw the glasses, he quickly came towards me. "What happened? Are you hurt?", he asked worriedly as he examined me from head to toe. When he found nothing, he seemed relieved.

"Stay back, okay? I'm going to clean this up", he said pushing a chair for me to sit and I was obligated. He grabbed a cloth, carefully picking up the pieces while I sat there watching him and ate my cookies.

After he was done, he turned to me then to my food. An amused look was evident on his face and I scowled.

"I'm hungry", I said in defiance and he raised his hands in surrender.

"Where were you?", I asked with my mouth full.

"There was an emergency at the club", he sighed as he opened the fridge to grab a beer. "I fired the manager, so I'm filling in until I got a new one", he continued then let out a yawn. He was tired.

"What did he do?", I asked still concentrating on my food.

"Apart from allowing an illegal party inside, he's been stealing our money", he said in gritted teeth and I nodded.

I chewed my last cookie and when it was gone, I felt sad. I'm still hungry.

I looked at Sean with pouted lips and he looked at me funny. "What?", he said.

"I'm still hungry", I placed a hand on my stomach and he chuckled.

"What do you wanna eat baby?", he asked.

"Uhm.. ", I thought about it for a second. "I want Mcflurry", I said.

He smiled. "Alright, let's go", he said grabbing my hand

The whole journey, the road was quiet so in no time, Sean already drove to the drive-through of McDonald's to order. When the car passed the colorful menu display, I was starving again and suddenly craved a burger.

When I told Sean what I wanted, his eyes widen in shock but still ordered anyway. He knew not to mess with pregnant woman's food. After paying and grabbed the food, he drove home while I sat eating my fries and took a sip from my milkshakes. I also got my McFlurry.

When we got home, we took our food to the living room to eat while we watched the TV. Sean was already finished and I was still halfway eating my burger.

After I finished, I rubbed my belly in satisfaction. Sean came closer to me and placed his lips on my temple then my stomach. He suddenly yawned for the second time today and I felt bad.

"I'm sorry", I said.

"For what?", he asked confused.

"For making you drive to McDonald's in the middle of the night", I said apologetically.

He chuckled. "For you and our baby, I'd do anything. And besides, I'm glad to see you eating again"

A few weeks ago when I just discovered I was pregnant, I couldn't eat. I mostly threw my guts out whenever I smelled food. I ate few bites then the next few minutes, I'd run to the toilet.

I and Sean weren't worried at first, thinking that it was normal having nausea in the first trimester. But then one midnight, I woke up feeling very sick and puking my guts out every two hours.

Sean insisted I check with the doctor but I said no and claimed that I'd be better the next day. But it didn't.

In the morning after Sean left to work, I kept going back and forth from the bathroom making my body weak. Mrs. Rhodes was worried and tried to call Sean but I didn't let her.

She was obligated but always kept an eye on me. After few days, I felt a lot better and was having lunch together with Mrs. Rhodes in the kitchen when suddenly my nausea came again making me ran upstairs to the bathroom.

This time, Mrs. Rhodes called Sean and he came home instantly to take me to the doctor. Sean told her about my condition then the doctor explained to us that some women might experience excessive vomiting like I did and the good news was that it wouldn't affect my baby at all making both of us relieved. The doctor then prescribed some medicines to help my nausea and told me to consume them every morning and before bed.

When the doctor tried to weigh me earlier, I realized that I had lost so much weight from the constant vomiting that the doctor advised me to eat more food and drink more liquid to keep me hydrated.

Since that, Sean had been keeping eye on me and made sure that I ate the medicines given. My appetite came back to normal again after few days then later, my appetite seemed to get bigger and so was my scale.

I was insecure at first but Sean convinced me that I shouldn't worry about it. How could I not when Sean working at the club seeing those hot chicks with body-like models every day? I, on the other hand, am a fat pregnant wife with unstable emotions.

"Do you love me, Sean?", I asked.

Sean turned to me, seemed confused with my sudden question. "What?"

"Do you still love me?", I repeated and he looked at me like I was crazy.

"Of course I love you", he said without hesitation and I nodded in response.

"Why are you asking me this?", he asked putting an arm around the couch behind me.

"Nothing", I said quickly dismissed my thoughts. I shouldn't even question him. I knew he loves me.

"Babe, tell me", he said never left my gaze.

I let out a sigh. "It's just..", I started. "My body's changing, I eat like a disgusting pig and being a bitch to you. Then seeing you working at the club lately where you can see all those girls made me... uneasy", I admitted.

"You think I'd cheat on you?", he frowned, sounded hurt.

"No, of course not", I quickly said. "You know what, it's nothing. I'm just being ridiculous", I said turning my attention to the TV.

He brought his index finger to my chin, tilting my head up. "Sweetheart, I'd never do that to you", he said softly.

"Yes, many girls are hitting on me at the club. But they're not you. You have my heart, my soul, and the best thing is you're having our child", he said rubbing my little bump. "I love you so much Valerie Anne Winters", he said kissing my lips.

Before I knew it, I was already in tears. Stupid hormones.

"I'm sorry I'm doubting you", I said sobbing and he chuckled.

"Oh, my sweet Valerie", he said hugging me as I sobbed in his shirt.

8 months later

"Sean, my water broke", I grabbed Sean's shirt in a tight grip. The fries he was holding fell to the floor as he began to panic.

"Oh, God. Okay, okay what should I do?", he stood up rambling to himself.

"Get the bag", I yelled then he ran upstairs to get the essentials for the hospital.

After knowing he was in the bedroom, I moved to his seat and ate his leftover fries and some chicken nuggets. It's fun pranking him.

I knew it was mean to mess with him like that but I was curious how would he react if I go into labor and I gotta say, his reaction was hilarious.

"Alright, I got everything", Sean appeared at the doorway panting but when he saw me sitting and eating his food with my leg crossed, he gave me a playful glare. I tried so hard not to laugh.

"You did not just do that", he said slipping off the bag from his shoulder.

"But I just did", I chirped.

"Gosh, you almost gave me a heart attack", he said pressing his hand against his chest.

"Sorry", I said extending my arms to hug him.

"You're not getting anything from me. Not after the stunt you just did", he said crossing his arms sulking.

"I'm sorry, okay?", I said closing the two between us as I gave him my puppy dog face.

"Don't do that", he said moving his face away from me. "You know I can't resist that"

"I know. That's why I'm doing it", I said innocently.

"Forgive me?", I pouted my lips.

He didn't move at first but turned to me eventually. He saw my pouty face and he couldn't help but laugh.

"I can never stay mad at you", he muttered to himself.

"I know. You love me", I winked and he chuckled.

"I do", he said pressing his lips to mine.

The next day

"Sean, Sean wakes up", I rocked his body forcefully that he jolted awake looking at me confused.

"What is it babe?", he said sleepily.

"I think my water broke", I said and he rolled his eyes.

"Nice try", he said closing his eyes again. Then the pain started to appear.

"Sean, it hurts", I started to cry and this time he started to look awake.

"Seriously?", he said resting an elbow to support his body.

I smacked his head hard and he groaned in pain. "No, I'm fucking joking", I yelled in frustration. "Just get the damn bag and drive me to the freaking hospital", I gritted my teeth to hold the pain.

Just like that and Sean was quick on his feet putting on his shirt and got the bag on his shoulder. He then turned to help me sat up and lifted me bridal style down the stairs then to the car.

It was 4 in the morning so the road was empty and we quickly got to the hospital. I was directly put into the labor room. The doctor and nurses were getting everything ready and Sean stood beside me patting his foot nervously.

The pain came again and I screamed, all eyes were on me. Sean was quick to hold my hand to give me moral support.

"This is all your fault", I said grabbing his collar with my other hand. Sean seemed taken back by my sudden action and he gulped.

"It's because of you I got pregnant and have to go through all this", I started to scream again as I felt like my body was about to rip apart.

"Now give me a push, Mrs. Winters", the doctor instructed and I did.

I screamed as I pushed. It fucking hurt. The more I pushed, the more the pain making me so exhausted.

"Sean, I can't do this". I whimpered. Tears blurred my vision.

"Sshh, baby", Sean said comforting me. "You can do it. Just hang on, OK?", he said kissing my temple.

"But it hurts", I said sobbing.

"I know baby, I know. But you have to do it. For our child. For me. Can you do that?", he said in a soothing voice.

"Okay", I mumbled as I took a deep breath then gave another push.

After seemed like forever, finally our son was born. Sean cut his umbilical cord and carefully held the crying baby in his arms. He wiped a tear from his eyes as he kept his gaze with the little creature then he turned to me, a wide smile formed on his lips.

Sean came closer to me, bringing the baby into my arms. As soon as I held the baby, he was instantly quiet and leaned his body closer to me. I couldn't hold back my tears. I'm finally a mother and Sean's a father.

"What do you wanna name him?", I asked Sean softly, didn't want to wake the baby.

"I'm thinking about Sean Jr", he said playfully and I gave him a glare

"What? It's a good name", he said innocently and I rolled my eyes.

"Alright alright", he raised his hands in surrender. "How about Brandon?"

Brandon sounds nice. "I like it", I agreed.

"How about Brandon Charles Winters?", I suggested.

"I love it", he said showing his pearly whites.

"Brandon Charles Winters it is", I said looking at my sleeping son.
