Chapter 49 Keep

My smile never faded when my uncles laughed at my son's gender. I just sat around them while Zafia's son stared at my stomach, his little hand that had previously caressed it and sometimes he was talking to. I stopped chewing when I saw Vernon walk away from his father and point at my stomach.
"Y-You want a baby?" startled whisper of his father who was approved by his eldest.
I just shuddered at his father's whisper and Vernon's slight frown.
"You should give your project to someone else first, Zeke. Tomorrow is your husband's pregnancy period, right honey?" Mom asked Dad who nodded.
"Hmm, give it to Lucas," papa fueled to everyone's laughter.
Lucas was busy with everything especially when Zaffiro's position was handed over to him, as far as I know he is in new york now, I just don't know if he will live there.
"I'm just at home Ma, I only go to the site when necessary, I'm also not allowed to leave it," he sniffed at me. "Crying," he laughs promisingly.
"It's also nice that he doesn't have a dog. He likes to bark," I smiled.
"It also tends to howl," it added, which the men laughed at.
I just distracted myself by listening to them. Endless laughter enveloped the living room especially whenever it recounted what I was doing to her. I decided to go upstairs to where her room is, Zeke's room in the mansion is in a good position especially, her room is one in front of the hacienda, right in front.
I just lay down because I was almost lazy to walking and acting what. Maybe this is how it is when the child grows up, often tamarin. I can't even do my laundry anymore and Zeke is almost the only one doing the housework.
I only massaged his body to recover him. In the middle of my meditation, my vision struck a picture frame where my heart pounded even more, I slowly sat up in bed and picked up a picture frame that was at the far end of the small cabinet. It was already dusty but I could clearly see the clear picture.
When I finally touched it, I smiled on purpose because I didn't know that until now he had a photo of us where we were still studying in college. I smiled looking at Zeke's face while holding the flowers. I still remember everything. It was in the middle of our first mission then, Zeke forced me to is him to a wedding booth because he felt Jairo was looking at me then. So to avoid trouble, he chose to drag me to the wedding booth and forced me to marry him.
I just laughed softly when his words echoed in my brain in front of his classmates Lou and Fred.
"Annina, let me marry you in front of many people, Fred, Lou, Zeren and the camera are witnesses, to our love ..."
"We're married, you're mine." Our first wedding.
I flirted earlier than Veron, lol.
But that's how my heart pounded when the door opened causing my handle to fall, the crystals quickly spread on my foot but Zeke also immediately grabbed me away from there.
"F-Fvck," he whispered looking at the broken equipment.
"Zeke—"
"Are you okay? What are you doing?" he promised seriously then stared at my whole being.
I just nodded and felt nervous again, not because of his sudden entry, but because of what I often experience. I'm scared. He supported me on the bed and then he took care of the broken picture frame, he stared at it for a while but he preferred to hide the crystals and wrap them in paper then wrapped them in a bag. After that he went to my side and pulled my hair. Stare stare at my face.
"What are you holding, tsk! I thought you were still asleep," he said shaking his head and then helped me to lie down.
I just closed my eyes and just stared at him, he looked into my eyes and stomach more and more, as if to see if something bad had happened to his son. It spontaneously caressed my stomach then lay down next to me, it was sideways facing me, made a pillow with his hand while its elbow was skewered on the pillow.
"I was scared, I thought what were you doing e," he muttered caressing my cheek.
"Close your eyes," he whispered softly, clinging to me even more.
"I can't."
"Why? I'm not going to leave your side. It's easy, I'll sing to you until you fall asleep," he whispered to my stomach.
I supported myself to lean in front of him, I pressed my head to his chest and he gently touched my nape and his lip was on my mound.
"Is something wrong with you? Is Gale moving again?"
"He's not. Hmm, you have a work?" I asked simply as I could hear his heartbeat.
"Yes. But it's later, when you're asleep. So you close your eyes, Gale is asleep or, you're asleep too. Pregnant women should go to bed early," he said in a hug.
I just let him do what he does, I want to make the most of it because when the baby comes out, I'm sure that's what he'll hug all day. The child is not there yet but is already jealous. I felt it slightly move away from me and the quick kiss on my lip.
"Hopefully, you will give birth on April 12 or 21," he whispered then winked.
I cringed and just smirked. Plan again. His inclination to that.
"Is it the same with my childbirth?"
"Of course, it all means something. My birthday date is 22, you're 11, and it's not on the 33rd calendar, so I just put it together," he said, shaking his head, staring at the ceiling.
"Awesome? Also Gale's name, 4 letters. His G, seventh letter."
"So? G is only the seventh letter, that's right?"
"Of course not. Annika has seven letters, so when based on the alphabet, it is the letter G. The A, of course, is the first, because he is our eldest. The L, on the other hand, is the twelfth L in the alphabet, with twelve letters is Ezekiel Lucio, so L. The E, on the other hand, is fifth in the alphabet, I am the fifth in five consecutive youngest generations. youngest too," was its long explanation that I almost gasped.
Only the brain has it. "What brain do you have? Gale only has four letters, and then the origin is that long? What the hell?!" I just rubbed my forehead and its weak laugh.
"Why? That's great. Besides, my lucky number is 4, you're the fourth one I love."
"W-What?"
"Yes. Of course, mommy, daddy, older brother, then you're the fourth, let's— "
"Stop it! Why do you give meaning to almost everyone? You bastard!"
"Of course, so that when your son asks, you'll have to answer something, maybe later it'll get worse."
"And why should I tell him? You thought of his name and then I'll tell you the whole background?"
"I'm the one who told you the story, so you can tell the story to your son," he replied then burst out laughing.
I didn't think it would nearly take time just because he was telling things about why the child's name was formed. I can say that his brain is different from all the Roux. The name is very simple but the origin is very complex.
"All right, go to sleep, I'll still be looking for a living or, it's like we have to pay the hospital bill, after Gale's baptism, it's really going to happen." I just laughed because of the shock that drew on his face, almost now he just maybe really thought about baptism.
I want to feel sorry for him because he will definitely wake up again to save money.
"Nah, I'll take care of that. You can't be the only one to spend, I have income from my books, I'll just give my share next month, it's also quite big, plus I had some savings when I was a girl. So no need," I replied with a smile that widened his eyes.
"All right, go to sleep first. Because mama will check us up tomorrow. My eyes are closed, my love. Gale is asleep, your mom and I are still early tomorrow." It rubbed against my stomach and then I was lightly patted.
He always make me feel like I am his gold. He is my keeper. The planner. My only letter.
