HAPPY FOREVER AFTER

“Oh my God” Emma said to Karen and Monica as she returned to the living room from the bathroom. “That must have been the tenth time I’ve been to the bathroom in the last two hours”

“It’s also been the tenth time since you have told us” Karen said sarcastically and Monica giggled. They had come to visit Emma at Daniel’s house.

Emma rolled her eyes. “Yeah, it must be really hard for you to hear,” she said.

Daniel was in the room too. He sat at another table working on his laptop. But he was clearly listening to them because he giggled at Karen’s comment.

Emma turned to him and rolled her eyes, which made him laugh.

“Hey honey” he said to Emma, while smiling. “Is there anything you need me to do for you?”

“Yeah right. Like you haven’t done enough” Emma said, jokingly pointing at her stomach. Daniel simply exchanged glances with Monica and Karen and they laughed again. Emma smiled too.

It was four weeks after their engagement, and Emma was four days past her due date… which was really frustrating. She loved her baby of course, but she was tired of being pregnant. She felt uncomfortable. She was anxious and she had done almost everything the doctor had recommended to induce labor.

“Relax babe,” Monica said. “I’m sure the baby is gonna be here this week”

“Yeah right. That’s what we all thought last week” Emma replied.

“By the way, Monica,” Karen said. “You owe me”

Monica opened her purse and handed some money to Karen. Emma watched them frowning.

“What is the payment for?” Emma asked.

“Oh, we made a bet,” Karen replied. “We bet that if the baby didn’t come last week, Monica would pay me”

Emma and Daniel stared at them in surprise. Then Daniel laughed.

“You guys are really betting on your friend’s discomfort?” he asked.

Neither of them replied as they exchanged glances.

“Well, can I get in on that bet?” Emma asked, which surprised everyone. “Stop looking at me like that… if I’m going to be stuck with this baby arriving late, I better make some money out of it.” she said laughing.

Daniel smiled. “You know why I think the baby isn’t here yet?, it’s because you’ve made such a comfortable home for it, that it doesn’t want out yet”

Emma smiled at him. “Oh, look at you making up crap for me,” she said. “That’s so sweet. Thank you.”

“That’s why you have me,” Daniel said, grinning.

Emma stood again. “Well, I have to pee again.” She said. “Apparently this baby thinks my bladder is a squeeze toy”

Monica and Karen laughed and stood to take their leave too.

“Call us when the baby gets here,” Monica said.Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

“Infact, call us immediately you get to the hospital,” Karen added. “I want to be at the hospital when my God daughter.. Or son is born. I still don’t understand why you didn’t ask to know the sex of the baby.. You are so old fashioned”

“We will call you” Emma said smiling. “Keep your phones close”

————————-

“I can’t believe we still haven’t come up with names we both like for the baby” Emma said to Daniel that evening as she came out of the shower. Daniel stood at a corner of the room, unbuttoning his shirt.

“I never thought it would be so hard to come up with a name,” she continued.

Daniel nodded. “I never thought so too. But here we are”

“I think when the baby comes, when we look at him.. Or her. it won’t be so difficult. But I wonder why it’s so late. I hope nothing is wrong” Emma said as he rubbed her stomach.

Daniel moved closer to her and pulled her closer. “I know it’s troubling, honey. But I’m sure it won’t be long now. I know it’s not easy… You have been amazing throughout all this. Did I ever tell you how grateful I am that you are carrying my baby?” he asked.

Emma smiled up at him. “You have” she whispered. “But it’s nice hearing you say it again”

Daniel grinned and bent to take her lips in his. Cupping her face in his hands. He kissed her passionately, and Emma’s body responded as it always did. He lifted his head and brought his lips to shoulder, his parted mouth kissing her flesh so deeply it hurt, actually, deliciously, hurt.

When he finally pulled back, his pupils dilated, his full mouth moist from their kiss. He lowered his head, kissed the top of her cleavage, kissed it so deeply she thought she might come right there, her breath catching as his fingers pushed the soft material of her nightie out of the way. Her nipples got so hard she nearly wept for the cool of his mouth.

“Hmmmm… You know one other thing the doctor said we could do to induce labor?” she said, though it wasn’t really a question.

Daniel lifted his head and grinned at her, he didn’t say anything but he reached down and pulled her nightie off her while she reached for the zipper of his trousers.

“Do you need a hand?” He asked, still smiling. Her hands were shaking so much she probably did. She smiled back at him as he helped her with the task.

His head lowered and his mouth closed in on one nipple as he sucked. Emma took a breath, unable to think about anything but the incredible way he made her feel.

He lifted his head and kissed her with more force. He pressed her body gently to his, his fierce erection a taste of what was to come and she whimpered.

He led her gently to the bed and his mouth worked his way up her thighs, kissing and nibbling her soft flesh, his tongue doing wicked things, dotting the i in the most decadent of ways. He was so into her, so consuming, so blatant with his adoration, so feverishly good it was impossible not to feel amazing.

“Oh, Emma…” Over and over he said it as he tasted her, over and over he said it as his mouth worked its way upwards, kissing her stomach, her breasts, her neck, her lips as she writhed beneath him.

She loved him. She was happy. It was her last coherent thought as he sucked on her shoulder, her last grasp at reality as he plunged inside her, and for Emma it should have been over, tightening muscles dragging him in, her mind whirring as she screamed his name.

But Daniel was always good, Daniel still doing the making, kissing her, teasing her, as he bucked deep inside her.
