Nora made her way towards her room with a smile on her face, she couldn't believe how Daniel took things seriously, was even reading a pregnancy book, just for her, now she knew from where he did get all this information.

Nora went to bed after changing her clothes still smiling to herself, she touched her baby bump and rubbed it gently.

​​

"You're going to have a wonderful father?" She whispered to her unborn child.

...

Daniel opened his eyes once he heard the door being locked, he chuckled at himself, he pretended to be sleeping when she entered the room.

He wanted to just pull her in his arms and hug her but he was afraid that he might scare her.

"Achoo." Daniel sneezed.

He placed his hand on his forehead and felt his temperature, it was slightly high, he sighed and got off the bed and walked out of the room heading downstairs to find a medicine for his cold to take, he cursed himself for getting sick, not he might pass his cold to Nora that's why he needs to keep her away from him until he gets better.

...

The next morning, Nora arrived at the dining table expecting to find Daniel there before her but she didn't find him.

She sat down at the chair and the butler started to survive her personally.

"I believe that you are wondering where Mr Daniel is." The butler said as he placed the food on the table.

"Yes, did he leave?" Asked Nora.

"No, my lady, he is sick, with a cold, he didn't want you to catch his cold. That's why he didn't leave his room. I advise you to be around him these days." The butler replied as he poured the fresh orange juice in her cup.

Nora frowned hearing these, he seemed just fine yesterday.

"Did a doctor come and check on him?" Nora asked the butler.

"Yes, the doctor said that he will be fine in a few days." The butler replied.

Nodding her head, Nora started to eat her breakfast, it felt lonely to eat without him on the table but she knew that he was doing this for her own good.

After breakfast, she took a short walk in the garden before she went upstairs, she was going to her room but then she changed her mind and thought about giving Daniel a visit.

Nora reached for the door handle and tried to open the door but it was locked, she sighed and turned around going back to her room.

The next two days, Nora didn't see Daniel at all, he locked himself in his room, only the butler was allowed to enter his room, she understood that he was doing that for her but he doesn't have to take such extreme measures, it's just a cold and it's not like that will not going to get a cold her entire pregnancy, but still, what he did made her heart warm up.

...

Nora was reading a book when she heard a knock on the door, she put the book on the table and stood up walking towards the door to open it.

"Daniel." She called his name surprised, she thought that she wouldn't see him for a few more days.

Daniel entered the room and closed the door behind him before he pulled her into his arms giving her a hug and kissing her forehead.

Nora blushed, lowering her eyes, it felt different every time he touched or kissed her forehead after his confession, it's everything had an intimate meaning now between them which she was trying to ignore for now.

Daniel pulled away and took a step back.

"How do you feel now? better?" Nora asked nervously.

"Yes, thank you for asking." Daniel replied, offering her a warm smile which added to her nervousness.

"It must have been lonely to stay locked up in your room for the whole time." Nora spoke, changing the subject.

Daniel sat down on the sofa and asked her to sit down too which she did but she tried to not look at him, she didn't know if it was her or the pregnancy hormones that made her see him be more handsome today.

"It was, but watching you taking a walk in the garden got rid of all the loneliness." Daniel replied in a low voice as he caressed her face with the back of his hand.

Hearing these, Nora glanced at the man beside her before she looked ahead of her.

Something was off with him today!

Daniel moved closer to Nora and placed his hand on her shoulder pulling her close to him, he had missed her so much in the past two days and right he just kept his hands to himself, she was so beautiful that can't stop staring at her.

Nora wasn't uncomfortable with his touch but with his closeness, she could feel his warm breath on her face and it was beginning to make her anxious.

"May I?" He asked her permission to touch her baby bump and she nodded her head.

He gently put his hand at first and started to feel her tummy gently, it felt harder than the last time he touched it, Daniel smiled as he continued to feel it.

He had read that women are emotionally vulnerable when they are pregnant and he had decided to take advantage of this period and work harder on letting her fall in love with him. Daniel wanted to love, dote on her and pamper her because to him she only deserved the best in life.

Nora gulped softly, she didn't know why but the feeling of his hand on her baby bump felt good, her heart started to beat faster and she started to feel dizzy.

"Look at me, Nora." He whispered in her ear placing a sensual kiss on her neck.

Nora forced herself to look up at him, his captivating blue eyes were looking back at her, she could see her reaction in them, he moved closer bringing his face closer to hers, their lips were inches away but Daniel didn't want to take the next step and see what her reaction would be.

Daniel was about to press his lips against hers but Nora stopped him placing her finger on his lips.

"I- I'm still not ready to take the next step, I need more time, I'm sorry." Nora said as she removed her hand from his lips.

To her surprise, Daniel smiled at her.

"I know, but I'm not going to give up trying until you are completely mine, I'm determined to make my wife and the only woman in my life, of course after you agree which I'm sure you will." Daniel whispered and kissed the corner of her lips before he left the room leaving behind a speechless Nora.

Nora touched the corner of her lips where he had kissed just now and blushed forcefully.

What was with him today? he was so forceful but sweet at the same time.

She sighed and shook her head hopelessly.

...

At Damien and Ina apartment.

Ina and Damien decided to stay at home for tonight and watch a movie, he wanted to cook but Ina told him that they could just order the food, she wanted to spend some quality time with him.

Though they always do, she just felt more clingy this evening.

"Come here." Damien said as he pulled her towards him and covered both of them with the blanket before he started the movie.

The food had arrived and Damien went to the kitchen to bring some plates to eat in it.

"You are not focusing on the move." Ina said without looking at him as her eyes were glued to the screen.

Damien didn't pay attention to her words and continued on slipping his inside her pyjama pants and inside her panty.

Ina closed her eyes when she felt him pushing his finger inside her slowly.

The movie night turned into a wild passionate night as the young couple made love to each other on the couch.

Recently Ina noticed that their lovemaking sessions were getting longer to the point that she might end up passing out from exhaustion.

"I'm sorry, it was supposed to be a movie night but I got carried away." Damien said as he ran his finger up and down her neck back as she laid her head on his chest.

Ina lifted her head and kissed his chin.

"I don't mind, but I feel that there is something else occupying your mind, is it the company." Ina asked.

"Yes and some other few things, but it's nothing to worry about, I will handle everything as long as you are with me." Damien replied.

Ina soon fell asleep in his arms, Damien didn't want to tell Ina now about what her parents told him.

They suggested that they should come and live with them so they can take in Ina as she needs special care now, he didn't know if he should do it or not that's why he told them to give him time to ask her first.
