Chapter 415: Xavier

Nicklaus who whose eyes were closed, opened them slowly. Maybe he heard wrongly, so he asked again;

"What did you say?"

Tiana smiled brightly, "I said we're having a baby."

Nicklaus was just staring, unable to say a word. He couldn't find the right word to say to describe how he was feeling at that moment.

"We're going to have a baby?" Nicklaus asked. His words seemed unreal to his own ears. He had forgotten anything about having a baby. He was even glad she didn't remember that she wanted a baby so badly when she woke up from the coma. He didn't like to see the look of pain in her eyes.

"Yes, yes, we are! You're going to be a father."

Tiana screamed excitedly. It felt unreal. So unreal. She was finally having a baby, they've waited for so long.

"Oh my God!" Nicklaus screamed excitedly. Lifting her up, he twirled her around. Tiana laughed as he kissed all over her face and neck.

"I'm so happy I feel like I'm going to explode!"

Nicklaus said, and she giggled. She knew he wanted a child too, but he didn't want to show it because he didn't want her to worry.

Nicklaus kissed her lips passionately;

"I love you, love you so much. I'm so happy, I don't know what to do"

His joy knew no bounds. It was as though something beautiful was finally happening to them after all these years of pain.

"I love you too, baby."

"Wow! I don't know what to do now. First, we have to go to the hospital. We need to make sure you're fine and the baby is fine baby clothes? Yeah, we need to get baby clothes, and…"

"Babe," Tiana laughed, "it's still so little, maybe a week old or so, we have 9 months, no need to rush." f𝘳𝚎𝐞we𝐛𝑛𝐨𝘃e𝘭.co𝘮

"Right;" Nicklaus smiled, kissing her hair.

"But we still have to go to the hospital."

"Yeah, we do, let me get dressed." She said and walked to the closet. But Nicklaus practically dressed her up.

"It's still a few weeks, I can do all this by myself." She smiled as she watched him help her wear her shoes.

"I know but I don't want you stressing yourself and the baby."

Tiana just let him do what he wanted, it's not like she could stop him, anyway.

At the hospital, Nicklaus got her thoroughly checked, the gynecologist confirmed she was pregnant and said she was perfectly fine; she gave her a list of what to eat and things she should avoid, and a date to return for another checkup.

Nicklaus didn't know how to act with all the joy bubbling inside of him. Driving back home, he made sure she ate a lot of fruit and veggies. Tiana chewed on the carrots as she watched her husband lecture the house workers and the chef on how to treat her from that moment on.

Damn, she was only about two weeks pregnant. What would happen when she was over six months?!

Seeing him like that, she knew he was so going to spoil their baby.

Tiana smiled as her eyes looked at her tummy. It felt so strange that a life was growing inside of her. Her hands rubbed on her stomach and she smiled.

She had everything she ever wished for. A loving husband who dotes on her like she's the only woman in the world, and a baby who's going to put a smile on their faces.

Although she wished her sister was here to celebrate with her, she had chosen her path. 𝙛𝘳𝒆𝒆𝒘e𝗯n𝗼𝘷𝚎𝚕.𝒄૦𝓶

Tiana smiled as she kept the bad thoughts away. This was a happy day, and she deserved every bit of it.

The next day, Tiana woke up to people talking downstairs. When she opened her eyes, Nicklaus was not in bed and going down the stairs. She saw Grandma and Elizabeth.

They were chattering and smiling brightly. Tiana turned quietly to go back to the room. She had not forgotten the experience she had with grandma when they just got married.

She was not even pregnant then, not to talk of now that she was.

But it was too late, as they had already seen her.

"Tiana! My dear!"

Grandma stood up with a beautiful smile on her chin.

Tiana beamed and walked down to them.

Grandma embraced her in a warm hug.

"Oh, I'm so happy for you!"

She said,

"Thank you, grandma." Tiana smiled as she walked to where Elizabeth sat and greeted her, too.

They spent the rest of the morning discussing the baby and how Tiana shouldn't even lift a finger throughout the nine months of pregnancy.

As expected, Grandma made sure they stuffed her with fruits and veggies that morning.

They didn't leave until it was evening. Once they had gone, Tiana went back to bed to sleep.

She didn't wake up until she felt an arm around her waist and pull her close.

A smile stretched her lips. "You're back." She murmured.

"Mm."

Nicklaus said, kissing her neck softly.

"How was your day?" He asked. "Eventful." Tiana replied, "Courtesy of you."

Nicklaus chuckled, "I couldn't help it."

"I know." Tiana said and turned around, hugging him.

They lay in silence for a while before she broke it. "Do you want a boy or a girl?"

"Mm, a girl." He said. "That would have your eyes."

Tiana smiled. "I want a boy that would look like me."

Nicklaus laughed, "and here I thought you were going to say a boy that would look like me."

Tiana chuckled. "Nah, I want a boy with my looks and eyes too."

"What about me? He doesn't take any of my features?"

Nicklaus asked and Tiana looked at him as though deep in thought.

"He does."

"What?"

"Your height." She said, bursting into laughter.

"That's not fair, beautiful." He said, and Tiana laughed.

"Nothing is fair, hubby. Nothing at all."

Three years later.

"Xavier, come back here!." Tiana called as she watched her son leave his food and run to hug his father as he walked down the stairs, laughing mischievously.

The little boy looked exactly like Nicklaus, except he had his mother's eyes.

Nicklaus lifted his son up and kissed his fat cheeks as he carried him back to where his mom was sitting.

Kissing her on the lips, he placed Xavier back in his chair.

Tiana glared at her son, and he laughed, showing off his newly developed milk teeth.

She couldn't even get angry at him.

"How was your night, baby?"

He asked as he tilted Tiana's head to look at him.

"Fine!" Xavier answered, before his mom could form words in her mouth.

Tiana and Nicklaus burst out laughing.

"Xavier I was asking your mother."

Nicklaus said, patting his hair.

Tiana smiled.

''He likes you too much. '' she said;

''It's obvious. '' Nicklaus chuckled, patting Xavier's hair again.

Nicklaus dotted on their son a little too much. It was as though he wanted to give him all the love he couldn't get from his parents.

She didn't blame him. Anyone who had gone through what he did would do the same, and she was happy she was there to help mold him so he wouldn't be a spoilt child.

"Don't be late, okay?" She said, smiling at him.

"I won't,." Nicklaus replied, kissing her lips.

He was about to go before Xavier held his hand. Nicklaus laughed and kissed his forehead.

"Be a good boy in school, okay?"

Xavier nodded, biding his father bye.

Tiana watched Nicklaus leave until he was out the door. These last years were the best time of her life. She had a beautiful baby, a happy home, and a loving husband.

Every day, they woke up to new happiness, as they watched their baby boy grow little by little. From learning the simplest words to holding the lightest things to learning how to walk.

She had never felt so complete. Finally, the world let them be happy.

She reached the peak of her career after having her baby. Nicklaus didn't want her to stress so much by taking care of the baby and going to work, but she didn't want to quit. She loved what she did.

''Mommy... '' Xavier nudged his mom as he opened his mouth for another spoon of food. Tiana smiled as she continued to feed him.
