    Sadly, the second baby''s gender remained a mystery. Ethan would have to wait another month to


    find out.

    It was because the baby did not give the doctor a clear chance to view its gender.


    Following Samantha''s 5th month pregnancy, she had been needing to sleep upright more often.


    She found it more appropriate and noticed how it prevented stomach reflux.


    Aside from that, she was now often using her maternity pillow.


    One night as the couple was fast asleep. Ethan instinctively brought his arm closer to him,


    expecting to embrace his wife. Sadly, Samantha was not in his arm that he awoke with a frown after


    the realization hit him.


    Turning to Samantha, Ethan cleared his throat, sitting up on the bed. He moved closer and saw how


    his wife was beautifully sleeping and hugging the maternity pillow on her left side.


    He leaned over and pecked on Samantha''s cheek. He pressed his lips against her ear and asked,


    "Is the pillow huggable than me?"


    It took seconds for Samantha to wake up from his probing. Ethan had to repeat his words when her


    eyes fluttered open. He asked again, "You are enjoying yourpanion. Is the pillow huggable than


    me?"


    A hiss left his lips before admitting, "Honey, you are making me jealous now."


    Samantha took some time to realize what her husband was saying. Only then did she chuckle and


    answer, "Ethan, hon. With my body changes, it''s really morefortable hugging a pillow and


    elevating my head with the same cushion."


    She reached for his handsome face and exined, "I''m sorry. It''s just that... the pillow is soft and...


    you are." She sneered before adding, "You are hard... Go back to sleep, honey. I''m tired."


    Ethan could only sigh. In their entire marriage, he supposed it was the only time when Samantha


    comined about his well-defined body.


    He asked, "So does that mean, you want me to grow belly fat?"


    Samantha chuckled again and responded, "No, honey. You are perfect the way you are. It''s just


    that... right now, I need morefort and I need the pillow to support my belly."


    She returned to face him again and said, "You understand, right?"


    With another sigh, Ethan nodded and returned to sleeping on his side of the bed, feeling neglected.


    He utterly dered the pregnancy pillow was his rival.


    If the pillow was merely enough to make Ethan jealous, in the next few days, Samantha had


    ordered in azy-boy sofa.


    It was because her babies were pushing her stomach upward that she was asionally


    experiencing acid reflux. She just could no longer sleep on the bed. She needed to have a more


    stable upright position when sleeping at night. Otherwise, there would be no sleeping at all.


    On the day that the sofa was delivered to the mansion, Ethan arrivedte home from work. When


    he entered the master bedroom, he found his wife already asleep on the reclined chair.


    Ethan first bathed and returned to waking his wife. He caressed her cheeks and said, "Honey, I''m


    home now. Let''s sleep on the bed."


    When Samantha awoke, she smiled at her husband and pouted her lips at his request. She weakly


    revealed, "Ethan, hon. I''ve been feeling my stomach acid go up often, and even with the antacid, I


    feel uneasy at night." She sighed and added, "I''d feel much morefortable sleeping here."


    With her answer, Ethan practically leaned back in annoyance. First, it was the pillow and now, here


    came a new sofa.


    His jaws dropped for seconds before he rified, "You mean, I''m going to sleep alone?"


    Samantha, who was already tired, merely closed her eyes and softly answered, "You are not alone,


    honey. I''m here... just sleeping in the chair."


    Ethan could not believe it. His wife wasforted by a mere pillow and a sizable sofa!


    He muttered, "How can... a pillow and a sofa be better than me?"


    Unfortunately, Samantha was already fast asleep and could not respond to hisint.


    That night, Ethan struggled to sleep. He was constantly checking on his wife, making sure she was


    comfortable in her sleep. Often, he would adjust her head, pull up the nket that covered her, or


    just stare at her.


    Ethan even joined Samantha in her early morning snacking. Only after fatigue kicked in did he


    finally closed his eyes to sleep.


    The seeding days were the same. Samantha chose to sleep on thezy-boy chair than rest with


    Ethan on the bed.


    Never had the man felt so lonely since they were married!


    On another asion, while striving to sleep with the same jealous thoughts, Ethan muttered as he


    rested his head on his arms, "I have to find a way to get through this."


    He counted and added, " Four more months to go. Just four months to go."


    ***


    The next morning, Kenzie woke up in a different room. She got up abruptly, looking around.


    She found her Mommy, still sleeping on a sofa, while her brother was still sound asleep next to her.


    She also found her Daddy cuddling with Kyle.


    Bemused, she shook her Daddy and asked, "Daddy, Daddy! Why are we in your room?!"


    Kyle wound up, waking up, hearing Kenzie''s voice at six in the morning. He rubbed his eyes,


    adjusting to a different view. "We are in Daddy''s and Mommy''s room."


    "Daddy?" Kenzie probed again.


    "Kids, it''s a Saturday, you don''t have to wake up early," told Ethan, stillpletely exhausted. He


    hugged Kyle tighter and added, "Go back to sleep, son."


    "But, Daddy. How did we get here?" Kyle probed.


    "Kyle, Kenzie? What are you guys doing here?" This time, Samantha woke up, hearing the voices


    of her twins.


    "We don''t know, Mommy. I woke up and I am here," Kenzie said pouting her lips.


    "I carried them here... Starting today. Kenzie and Kyle will sleep in the room with us," announced


    Ethan while maintaining to close his eyes.


    "Really, Daddy? We are going to sleep with you?" Kyle probed, widening his eyes open. Their


    Daddy rarely invited them to sleep in the master bedroom.


    "Yes, really... until... your Mommy gives birth," revealed Ethan.


    "Yey! I love sleeping with Daddy and Mommy!" Eximed Kenzie.


    Samantha got up and walked over to Ethan''s side. She asked, "Really, hon?"


    "Really... I mean... you have your pillow and your sofa." Ethan opened his eyes and pointed to


    Samantha''s new bed before adding, "I could at least have my kids with me on the same bed."


    Samanthaughed out loud, nearly teary-eyed at his answer. She said, "Ethan, sometimes, you can


    be silly, but I love that part about you."


    She pecked on his cheek and told, "Thanks for understanding, honey."


    "Hmmm." Ethan shifted his position, embracing Samantha in the waist. He warned, "When this is all


    over, you are going to pay me back, big time."


    Samanthaughed again and answered, "Honey, when I give birth." She sighed and exined,


    "There are... new challenges ahead. It''s really best that I repay you while I am still pregnant."
