New chapter! Hope you all like this and get a few chuckles. I threw this in as a fun little addition to the story. Please leave me a review and tell me the things you'd like to see while she develops. I'd love to get the creative juices flowing with the feedback of those of you who are still reading. Thank you and enjoy! - MJ :)
The next morning, Norma woke up to an early sunrise. She looked over to Alex, so peaceful while he slept. It'd been a long while since she'd seen him so at ease. The life of a cop, at least as she observed, was never easy and highly stressful. To see him resting so easily was a lovely sight. However, a thought couldn't help but float to her mind as she watched him looking so handsome at peace. Intimacy. They hadn't had sex since…well, since their baby's conception. With her being sick and them being tense towards one another for the past few weeks, there was no time for sex.
Slowly, she rolled on top of his muscular body. Her own skin a bit muggy from the heat of the hotel room, her cotton nightie sticking to her back as she began to grind gently on his thigh. Her hands sat on his bare chest as she let some soft groans escape her lips. This baby was making her hormonal, in every aspect. Hell, she was close just from grinding, they hadn't even engaged in intimacy yet.
Alex became more aware of the weight on his leg and looked up to see his wife gently panting above him. She looked in the midst of an orgasm when he woke up, he could feel her wet spot growing on the center of her panties. But before she could let go or engage him fully, he grabbed her shoulders gently and shook his head.
"Norma, stop," he exclaimed, half sitting up to try and move out from under her weight.
She let out another hazy moan of pleasure, her eyes closed, "It feels so good," she groaned, bucking her hips harshly against his leg. Her fingers were clutching the pillow as she felt release coming closer.
His hands moved down to her hips to stop them, "I'm serious, stop it." The tone of his voice was sharp, almost mean. Instantly, he began to feel bad with the way he reacted to her.
She obeyed him. Her grinding came to an immediate halt as she rolled back to her side, almost ashamed of what she was doing. Then, her eyes emitted teardrops. She put her head in her hands as she let herself cry.
"You-" she hiccupped, sobbs intensifying as her body shook, "You're an asshole."
Alex was taken aback by the tears. They pained him yet for some reason they didn't make sense. Horny and then sad? Now seemingly angry? He didn't get it. His hand extended and rested at her back. She moved away from him and kept crying.
"Aw honey, I'm sorry…" he began, even though he didn't really know why he was apologizing. She didn't move though, just kept sitting at the other side of the bed sobbing her eyes out. "Come here, Norma."
"No! You suck," she gasped through the fit, her getting worked up wasn't helping anything.
Alex moved to her and encased her in a hug. She fought to get out of it but he refused to let her go. His lips moved to cover her forehead in light kisses. "I'm sorry, sweetheart. I didn't mean to hurt your feelings."
It took a moment before she finally caved into his chest and sniffled, wiping her tears from under her eyes, "Why'd you force me off of you? I'm your wife and I wanted to make love…"
He giggled a little at that, wrapping an arm tight around her shoulders, "Looked more like you wanted a little session alone to please yourself."
She slapped his chest and let her eyes dart up to him, "That's not funny. I wanted to engage you and you shoved me off."
"Yeah well...I don't feel right," he said simply, pupils tracing the line of fabric in their comforter. He couldn't meet her eyes right now, they were still all red and puffy. It made him feel horrible to think he got her so upset.
"Are you not attracted to me anymore, is that it?" she asked, curling up, her heart began to sink at the thought. She couldn't handle it if Alex wasn't happy anymore, not with everything going on. She didn't have it in her to be a single mother at her age, she knew it'd happen if Alex wasn't happy with her anymore. These thoughts made her so emotional and upset, it killed her to think of him leaving her.
"Shhh," he silenced her question before it could even resonate, "I think you're the most beautiful woman I've ever laid my eyes on. You're perfect. But that's not it...I um- I don't wanna have sex with you because of-"
"The baby?" she finished, her eyes still glaring with utter disappointment. He didn't have to tell her because she could already sense it. "Do you find me unattractive now that I'm pregnant? I mean, I'm barely showing, so I'm not fat-"
"No. It's not because of that. I just don't wanna hurt the baby. Y'know? Like I don't wanna-" he stopped himself and thought out his words before he said them, "What if one day we get a little too into it and I'm too rough with you and I hurt you and I ruin something?"
She laughed, laughed until her stomach ached as a matter of fact. Her arm reached out to take his hand as she crouched over with a fit of giggles, "Alex, that doesn't happen. Our baby is protected and cushioned in my belly, okay? The only time it's gonna get hazardous in our bedroom is when he or she drops."
His head shot up at the word, "Drops? What do you mean?"
Her grin grew greatly as she kissed his fingers, "When a woman drops, it can be a little uncomfortable. There's a lot of pressure. It means that the baby will come closer to my cervix which is incredibly uncomfortable for my….lady parts. But you don't have to fret over that. Not until like...my last week of pregnancy."
"Still," he sighed, "I don't feel comfortable. I feel like our baby knows what we're doing and I don't wanna freak the kid out, y'know? I'm scared that we'll scar our son or daughter before it even has a chance to experience life."
She laughed again, her hand moving to rest on her flat stomach, "Don't you worry. They don't know what we're doing. For all our baby knows, we could be wrestling. It's not like they can see through my belly."
"Okay. Fair point but what if they are sleeping in there and we wake them up? I want the baby to be well rested while it's y'know...chilling in the womb," he said, his tone serious and his face even more convincing.
Norma moved closer and kissed his cheek, "You're just so sweet. No, the baby will be okay. No more what if's out of you. I'm tired of you second guessing all of this. We can be a normal couple like always. And we can enjoy all of the aspects of being married...like really good sex."
"I promise you, I'll try to come around to it. Just don't pressure me, alright? I'm still new to all of this with you. I don't know how to act and I don't know right from wrong when handling pregnancy," he admitted, his hand clasping in hers.
"It's okay, Alex. I love you and I know you only want the best. Even though him or her is still only a fetus, I appreciate you being so considerate."
He kissed her and pulled her back for the pillows. Sex would have to wait until he was comfortable with her. Being a dad was going to be a long, scary ride. But like most things, with a bit of practice, he'd be the best he could be at it. The journey was going to be long and maybe a bit scary but he was overall excited.
Once he learned to get a handle on Norma's little outbursts, he'd be just fine.
He just needed practice.
