Chapter 493 - Four Hundred And Ninety-three: He Spoke From His Heart (1/2)

The third point of view:

”Number one,” Reina commenced.

Emerald was full of anticipation for this moment - there was even an imaginary drumline thudding in the distance. He listened to her advice attentively like a student would in class.

”The first thing you should know about pregnant women is that they enjoy comfort food and ice cream is one of them. Cut Cecil some slack and don't make the mistake of monitoring portions or critiquing her requests for strange food combinations. If she asks for pickles and peanut butter at one in the morning, give the woman what she goddamn wants no matter the distance!”

”Or…” Niklaus opined, ”You can simply fill the refrigerator with different flavors of Icecream instead of running to the supermarket at 1 A.M,” He was smug, knowing his suggestion was much better.

Reina threw daggers at him. He was set on irritating her tonight. Well, this was all for Emerald. Nothing else.

”Secondly, never ask Cecil why she is crying again? When women are pregnant their hormones can fluctuate and don't assume she needs a ”reason” to cry. If you want to help her, just offer her a shoulder to cry on, ”

”Or to make things simpler for you or us, the men,” Niklaus opined again, ”Just put on her favorite comedy show and you can say bye-bye to tears,” He made it sound so easy.

Reina turned to him with a massive frown, ”What's your problem, Niklaus?”

”Emerald came for the both of us to give us an insight on pregnancy and fatherhood - he said 'us' remember? So while you explain from the women's point of view, I give him more insightful tips from the men's perspective - my view,” He said.

”He makes sense. No offense Reina, but Niklaus' a fellow man, I believe he would be more empathic,” Emerald pointed out.

”Fine,” Reina spoke through gritted teeth. No matter what, she believed she would be the perfect person to relate the sufferings that comes with pregnancy since she's experienced it first hand.

”Thirdly, never tell Cecil that it would be fun if your kids were a year apart - that is if you plan on having more,” Reina sighed, ”Trust me, that comment could quickly transform the woman you love into a raging monster. Appreciate the pain and sacrifice Cecil is going through both physically and mentally and don't assume she wants to repeat the experience anytime soon,”

”I support that,” Niklaus agreed readily which made Reina narrow her gaze at him suspiciously. He didn't argue with her as usual?

However, it was proven that she was faster than her shadow because Niklaus added, ”You don't have to inform her and get your head yelled off in the process, simply score a prefect shoot in the heat of the moment,” Niklaus hinted that he could easily get her pregnant during sex without voicing his intention.

”Alright. This is it. You're intentionally sabotaging this conversation,” Reina accused him.
