Chapter 25


    **** Smith Bridget P.O.V ****


    I moaned in pain as I tossed on the bed or shall I say thisfy pillow I amying on. The sharp


    pain subsided for a while and then it came back with full force. This time, I didn''t just moan in pain, I


    groaned out loud.


    The pain is so unbearable. I felt thefy pillow move under me and that made me knit my


    eyebrows. Why is the pillow moving? Am I dreaming?


    “Are you okay Bridget? Is something wrong? Are you having nightmares again?” I heard this


    familiar soothing voice that made me realize that I wasn''t sleeping on a pillow but rather on top of


    William.


    I slowly opened my eyes and looked into his concerned eyes. His eyes are half-open indicating


    that he is half asleep. I pouted and whimpered in pain,” I don''t feel too good. My stomach hurts a


    lot.”


    His eyes opened fully and he sat up, pulling her up with him. He stroked her hair and asked,


    “Where does it hurt? Do you need to use the toilet?”


    I shook my head sideways to indicate ''no'' and looked down feeling embarrassed. He noticed my


    embarrassed look and thought of something. He looked at me with widened eyes and asked, “Is it


    your monthly visitor?”


    I looked at him confused. What is a monthly visitor? He saw my puzzled look and immediately


    knew I didn''t understand what he said so he asked again, “Is it... menstrual cramp?” Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org.


    I could see the tips of his ears turning pink. I forced a smile and said, “No. I think I am hungry.” He


    was stunned for a while before chuckling.


    “So you are hungry?,” he asked and I nodded,” I didn''t eat anything except for drinking that weird


    wine Danie and Stephanie gave me.”


    He nodded and stood up before quickly lifting me up in his arms. Point of correction. He carried me


    in a bridal style. As he walked out, he said, “Then let''s go to the kitchen. Mind you, I already told you


    I can only cook pancakes.”


    I smiled and wrapped my hands around his neck to bnce myself. “Well, I have done a lot of


    cleaning over the years so I can cook myself.”


    “I''ll assist you,” he said with a kiss on my forehead.


    When we got to the kitchen, we were surprised to see Todd and Stephanie in the kitchen.


    Stephanie was sitting in front of almost seven tes of food. She was gobbling down one te of


    food hungrily.


    I looked surprised to see her eating this way. A far cry from the perfect Stephanie I met earlier.


    And of course, I am not the only one that is surprised to see her eating like this.


    “Goddess!,” William eximed as he put me down on the kitchen ind. “What is wrong with


    Stephanie?”


    His voice startled both Todd and Stephanie. Stephanie was stunned to see him but it onlysted a


    little while before she ignored us and went back to eating the mountain of food in front of her.


    Todd chuckled nervously and scratched his hair. William gave him a look that clearly says,'' I know


    you are hiding something from me. Spill it out or I''ll make you.''


    Todd understood his look or perhaps William already mind-linked him cause soon he opened his


    mouth and said, “Well, we wanted you two to settle down first before spilling the news.”


    William arched a brow and asked, “What news?” I also looked at him curiously. What news?


    “Well, I and Stephanie are expecting a pup,” he spilt it. Once again both I and William were


    stunned before a beautiful smile broke across William''s face. Howe I never noticed how good


    he looks when he smiles?


    “Woah! That''s great bro!” William eximed as he walked to Todd and hugged him.


    I also got down and went to Stephanie. I smiled and told her, “Congrats.” She smiled and


    squeezed my hand tightly. Obviously, she can''t talk with a mouthful of food.


    I smiled but the smile onlysted for a little while when I heard William speak angrily, “Why did you


    get down from the kitchen Ind? Your stomach still hurts so you should have stayed there.”


    I looked at him. How am I supposed to cook if I sit on the kitchen ind? I can hear Todd''s light


    chuckle. Hell! I could even hear Stephanie snicker behind me. What''s funny?


    I walked to William and held his hands. He did tell me about him having a fickle temper. Any slight


    thing can just make him unnecessarily angry.


    I looked up at him and did what I have never done before. I pouted like I have seen others do and


    told him softly, “How am I supposed to cook if I sit on the kitchen ind? I''m hungry remember?”


    He took in deep breaths and looked down at me. “At least, you should sit there and wait for the


    pain to subside,” this time he spoke softly.


    I smiled and pulled him to the gas. I didn''t even reply and just began to cook. I want to eat


    something beefy so I brought out the ingredients I needed. William just kept on following him. He


    didn''t even leave me nor did he offer to help me bring out the ingredients.


    He hugged me from behind, rested his head on my shoulder and watched me cook. Todd snorts


    and said teasingly, “William, I''ve never seen you act this way. Hell! I didn''t even know you can


    be so lovesick. The PDA is so creepy.”


    I smiled and William turned around to re at him making him shut his mouth. By the time I


    finished cooking, the kitchen was filled with the nice aroma of beef.


    As I turned around with a te of food, Stephanie''s eyes glistened as she red at it. Being so


    sensitive, I noticed her looking at it so I offered her a te.


    When she nodded, Todd gasped and shrieked, “You still want to eat after finishing six tes of


    food!”


    “What!? Your food isn''t that delicious. Bridget''s dish smells nice,” she retorted and William


    laughed.
