Chapter 153: Chapter 153

Amelia's POV

Tristan accompanied me to the first ultrasound test and we heard our baby's heartbeat for the first time. It was the most beautiful moment when Tristan and I held hands and listened to it. My eyes filled up with tears of joy and at that point in time, I fell in love with that microscopic thing that was my baby, growing up inside me. I promised myself that I would be the best mom in the world to my baby, I would do everything in my power to nurture it into a healthy and happy, and good human being.

As the months passed by, I started growing in size but Tristan's love for me remained the same. I waddled along everywhere, wearing the maternity clothes that I designed for myself. Delia still worked for us and took good care of me. I had grown attached to her and had become too dependent on her. I hated the sights and smells of the kitchen as they made me nauseous. So the entire cooking was on Delia's shoulders and she never complained. I went to my boutique now that the nausea had subsided and I found my appetite again. In fact, I was always hungry now and needed something too much all the time. My pregnancy was progressing well and at the last ultrasound, we came to know that I had a baby boy growing inside me. Tristan was happiest since he could train the chimp to be just like himself. All say he came up with weird names which I always declined.

Anna was expecting twins and she was double my size and needed to be careful. She had nearly stopped going to her institute as it was getting more and more difficult for her to move around. Stefan supported her like a rock. It was something common between the brothers. They were very caring. The times we all gathered together, we both only discussed our pregnancy and our concerns. Mom and gran also gave their inputs which were very informative for us.

Over the last two months, I have noticed a change in Tristan's behavior. He had suddenly matured and outgrown his impulsive ways. He left his goofiness somewhere and carried out his responsibilities well with the utmost dedication. Although I never wanted him to change, I guess fatherhood had made him realize that he needed to be a role model to his baby boy. In fact, everyone was stunned at the changes in him. I knew that he would be a very caring father indeed!

Although I was a little unwell, we were happy to have an addition to our family. Tristan was ecstatic, maybe he wanted to get me pregnant as soon as possible. The whole family looked after me well. I couldn't ask for anything more. I appointed extra staff for my boutique since the pregnancy didn't allow me to take up as much workload as before. The business was flourishing and I could afford it now.

Tristan was the best husband in the world. He was very caring and accompanied me to all my doctor's check-ups and ultrasound tests eagerly. He sang to our baby boy every day, and he too reciprocated with a kick. It proved how naughty he would be when he grew up. Although my days weren't the same every day, some days I was down, and other days I was just managing, Tristan and I took out time for one another. He took me out, we went for walks and we made love whenever I had the energy. He was very patient and understood the hormonal changes that my body was going through. The magic between us was still the same as it was before and only increased with each passing day. That's what true love is all about. You never get tired of the other.

With Anna being pregnant with twins, the whole family started a new game whenever we were together. The game of hunting for names for our babies. My brothers and their families too visited regularly to take an update on my health and they too asked about the name we had finalized. But Tristan didn't like any of the names they suggested and I didn't like the names he suggested. So the game continued.

Arielle was ecstatic to get three babies to play with instead of one. She laid her head on our stomachs to hear them and talk to them. Tristan and Stefan were busy preparing the nurseries for the arrival of our babies.

Gran looked ecstatic as it was actually her wish to see the faces of her great-grandchildren at the earliest. She regularly visited me and took an update on my little chimp who had learned to kick, thanks to his great trainer, his dad.

"But babies don't kick before the seventh month," said mom with astonishment. I rolled my eyes since my baby was kicking in the fifth month! The whole family started planning a baby shower for Anna as well as me. I was at peace with my life now. I knew that with such a supportive family and a loving husband, I would sail through against all odds.

My mom had told me once, "Don't lose hope. True love never fails you. If you're meant to be together, it will happen. Just have patience." I didn't realize it then, I did not fully comprehend the meaning of her words, but today I know that mom was right. Tristan has never failed me, He never broke his promise to me. Despite all odds, he has pursued me and kept his promise of love. Maybe God had helped him all the way since we were fated to be with each other. We were destined to be together!

I knew that with him, despite all ups and downs, I'd be happy, forever!
