Chapter 501 - She is growing (2/2)
He laughed with her.
Both of them were in a good mood.
They took a shower together.
Sophia was careful that his left arm (where stitches are) does not get wet and covered with shower gel. He said that his arm is already healed and fine, but she didn't believe him and made him put a plastic cover, just in case. If shower gel goes over stitches, it will sting, and she does not want him to feel any discomfort, if she can help it.
After shower, Felix helped Sophia apply lotion on her skin. That is her favorite part of their evening routine. Sophia enjoys magic of his palms on her body as he makes sure every inch of her skin is moisturized. As usual, she got all heated up during Felix's thorough… treatment. But she was too tired and decided to suppress her urges for intimacy.
Felix did a lot of research until he found a special cream for her belly, to prevent stretch marks. He made sure every time he applied it, to remind Sophia that even if she gets any stretch marks, he will not love her any less. His care and attention made her feel warm and fuzzy.
Felix kissed her belly and whispered: ”Good night, baby…” That was the last part of their regular evening routine before going under the sheets.
They held each other in the bed while exchanging light kisses and sweet nothings… until they slept off. Sophia slept off first. No matter how much she wanted to enjoy the feeling of his embrace, fatigue won.
Felix was holding Sophia for a long time. He inhaled her scent and listened to her quiet even breathing while daydreaming about them as parents. He hoped that the baby is a girl, and that she will be cute just like her mother. And he promised that he will take her in winter ice skating, and that he will protect her from bullies, and help her with homework… and that he will never abandon them.

Next morning, Isabella woke up late. She had difficulty sleeping off while her mind was thinking about Leah and ended up waking up later than usual. She got ready for the day and checked her phone… it was off. She turned it off last night when she got into the room, fearing that she will give in and contact Leah. Isabella remembers reaching out for her phone few times, caving-in to her desire to reach out to Leah, but the powered off phone reminded her not to. She was tossing and turning in bed for a long time until she slept off, exhausted.
Isabella checked messages, Sophia would message her when she reaches her office… and sure it is, there was a message from about one hour ago: ”I'm in… come whenever you are ready. My secretary will tell you where I am if I'm not in my office.”
There was also another message, from Leah: ”Sorry for being a jerk. I hope you give me a chance to apologize and explain. Lunch?”
