TAIS-TOI:

Shut up

Adjusting my eyes to my surroundings, I woke up to the warm sheets around me but Valerius wasn't here. He didn't stay, I thought.

Suddenly the door to my bathroom opened and Valerius stood with a towel hooked around his neck and another wrapped around his waist.

Dieu, if I wasn't sick I would have pounced on him. My eyes slowly scanned his built tatted body, the designs just seemed to get hotter each time I stared at it.

The small droplets of water dripped down his toned body. The thought of licking it off my body became evident that I needed to stop staring else he is going to embarrass me.

"Finished staring?" Valerius smirked, I buried my face in my hands as the heat of embarrassment rushed to my cheeks. "Now let's get your fine ass out that bed, we have got a doctors appointment to attend." Valerius said.

Walking towards me, he lifted me up bridal style off of the bed and headed to the bathroom. Giggling, Valerius placed me on the bathroom counter and prepared my toothbrush by applying a strip of toothpaste on it.

"Open your mouth." He commanded. The double meaning of that sentence most certainly got me thinking of the not so innocent one so I bit my lip as the words came out dominant and extremely sexy. "Such a naughty girl." Valerius stated as he showed off his pearly set of teeth.

"Open, else I will put something bigger than this toothbrush in this pretty little mouth of yours." Valerius whispered as he grabbed my chin gently, brushing my lower lip with the pad of his thumb. "What's bigger than a toothbrush, Val?" I asked ever so innocently, nibbling on my lower lip.

"You know it very well, amore." He winked, his other hand trailing along my thigh. "I don't, you might have to remind me." I whispered, parting my legs partially, allowing Valerius have space.

"Oh really, how would you like me to remind you, amore?" He said, lowering his head to kiss along my neck. Moaning I grabbed his arm and used my other to toy with his hair. "Anything, just do anything." I moaned, feeling his length poking against my thigh.

"Anything?" He asked, sucking on my neck harder as his hand trailed under my top to my nipple, pinching and rubbing along the erected nub. "Yes, please." I pleaded as his assault on my neck had moved down to my collarbone.

"Well, I guess we will have to wait after we visit the doctor's so I can remind you." Valerius pulled away from me and placed the toothbrush in my hand. "Val!" I shouted feeling displeasure and sexually frustrated.

"I love you screaming my name, but be quiet, Theo wouldn't like that." Valerius smirked before shutting the bathroom door, leaving me to frown in frustration.

-

"Amore, are you done?" Valerius said, walking in, wearing a grey turtleneck and black jeans and to finish the look with his silver cross necklace. He looked devilishly hot.

"What are you wearing?" He asked, closing my bedroom door then leaning against it with a deep frown stamped on his face. Looking in the mirror, I stared in bewilderment as to why he was questioning my look.

"Is something wrong?" I flattened out the navy blue dress with a black lace embroidery along the neckline.

Valerius came up behind me and wrapped his arms around me. "Amore, you look ravishing." He whispered, nipping my exposed neck. "If I feel like I need to have you on all fours right now, how would the doctor feel when he looks at you?" Biting my lip, I laughed as he stroked my sides.

"And I don't want anyone looking at what's mine." Valerius sucked on my neck, I bit my lip hard trying hard to conceal the urge to moan. "Well, he can stare as long as he likes but I only have my eyes for one man only." I said truthfully.

"Who is that man?" Valerius questioned, his hands moving slowly around my arms, hugging me while he still nuzzled in the crook of my neck. "Unfortunately, I can't reveal that yet because we have a doctor's appointment to attend." I smirked, using the same words he used on me earlier this morning.

"I will be teaching you a lesson." He groaned, slapping my behind before kissing me on the neck. "I will go start the car." I hummed and began putting my essentials in my black crushed velvet handbag.

The waiting room was not too bad as there was only a mother and he baby and an elderly couple. Valerius and I stayed seated, waiting for my name to be called.

The baby next to us kept crying and it's wails brought sadness to the mother's face as she cooed her baby in her arms yet her cries still continued.

"Sorry, she's teething." The mother apologised as she sat her baby upright. The elderly were called in next and wished the mother a blessing for her baby.

The baby girl stared at me and smiled, leaning towards me. I was surprised by her remark but smiled at her. "You can hold her, if you want?" The mother asked, her face in a wide smile as she stroked her baby's hair.

She handed me her baby and Valerius's hand wrap around my waist. Firstly, I wiped the tears that were beginning to dry up on her face. Her smile was the most beautiful thing ever, it made me feel so relaxed.

The baby looked at Valerius and smiled even brighter. "Ah, do you like Valerius, bébé?" I cooed, making her nuzzle her face into my neck. She was quick to get up and she then leaned over to get some affection from Valerius. It was the cutest and heartfelt experience to see.

"Mrs. James?" A doctor called out, the mother answered and cleared her area before standing up. "Sorry, come on bubba." The mother said to Valerius and I before taking her baby.

The baby gripped onto Valerius's finger hard and was on the verge of crying again. Valerius leaned forward and kissed her head before saying goodbye.

-

Moments passed and the mother and her baby came out of the doctor's office. "Miss Lamoureaux?" Valerius and I stood up and smiled to the lady and waved goodbye to the little angle in her hand who was sucking on her pacifier.

The doctor indicated his hand towards the two leather chairs. Valerius and I both sat down and waited for the awaiting questions. "Hello, I'm Dr. Gray, first things first, how are you?" He asked with a smile on his face.

"I'm not too bad." I said and I felt Valerius burn holes into the side of my head. "Ok, give me an insight on what's wrong?" He said, preparing to type on his laptop.

"I have been feeling dizzy lately and I have been throwing up a lot too." The sounds of taps from his fingers on the keyboard speed up. "So have you recently started to get these symptoms?"

"Yes, except for the throwing up symptom that only started yesterday." I replied. "Ok, when you felt sick did you have a reaction to a certain smell or did it just all of a sudden happen?" He asked, looking at me in the eye before looking at Valerius.

"Um, the eggs and the smell of coffee made me feel sick." I answered before he began to type away again. "Ok to confirm my theory, when was your last cycle?"

I looked at Valerius and sighed before answering. "About a month or so late, but my period is irregular." The doctor nodded before typing again. "Have you been sexually active in the last month?" Dr Gray asked, I grew red with embarrassment.

"Yes," I fidgeted with my fingers before Valerius hand came on top of mine and began rubbing the back of my hand with his thumb. "Do you remember if you used protection?" His dark brown eyes fixed on me.

"I can't remember. Sorry." I said looking at Valerius, who also shook his head. "No worries, but I'd like you take this test for me please." He said, handing me a pregnancy test.

My eyes grew wide and I felt myself becoming nervous than before. A sickly feeling of not knowing what the result may be and how it might affect Valerius and I's relationship. Would he leave me if it turned positive?

-

The three minutes were torture. Peeing on the stick was the most weirdest thing I did but it was necessary. Dr Gray stared at the stick like it was the most hardest thing to read.

He stood up, which lead to me also copying his step. He handed me the test and there was one red line and another line that was faint but coming through.

"Congratulations, you are pregnant." He said, my nose burned as I felt tears brew in my eyes. "I'll let you two have a moment." He smiled before leaving.

I felt hit with so many questions that I couldn't answer. It was so overwhelming that I broke down and cried with the only emotion I could relate to. Happiness.

Valerius stood beside me and picked up the test from my hands. He stared at it long and hard until a small droplet fell from his eyes. "Amore, yo-you're pregnant?" He said enthusiastically, Valerius pulled me into a hug and I cried with so much joy that I couldn't help but look at the test again.

"I am going to be a dad!" Valerius stated before pulling me into a kiss. "You're not mad?" I questioned as my doubts still got the best of me.

"Amore, you have made me the most happiest man alive." Valerius hugged me once again before he placed his hands over my stomach. His sniffles were the most cutest thing I have heard and it was the first time I have seen him get emotional. The first time I saw him cry.

"Our symbol of love is inside of you and I can't wait to meet him or her."
