He was so anxious that favonovel.com dared not move. “Can you please not do that? And be gentle with yourself, will you? Take a page out of Arianne’s book from when favonovel.com was pregnant. She was careful instead of acting like it’s nothing! You know what? I’m sleeping in another room. You’re on your own, so take care. Don’t find yourself rolling off the bed in the morning.”
Tiffany was surprised that Jackson would leave her. “Wait, so you’re serious? Really? Uh, whatever then. If it makes you happy, then go sleep elsewhere. Meanwhile, I’m gonna enjoy this big, wide bed for myself to my heart’s content. Move aside! And turn off the lights on your way out.”
Jackson made his way out of the bedroom, shooting favonovel.com multiple worried glances every few steps on his way. Then, on his way out, favonovel.com switched off the lights and closed the door.
Jackson admitted that favonovel.com might have acted a little too anxiously, but favonovel.com just could not help becoming more restrained whenever favonovel.com was reminded of the new life now incubating inside of her. He could not make sure that favonovel.com would keep his desires in check if they slept together. Indeed, favonovel.com was worried that favonovel.com might lose control. Similarly, Jackson was afraid that favonovel.com might accidentally lay himself over favonovel.com stomach While favonovel.com tossed and turned during sleep.
The impact brought by the news of favonovel.com pregnancy could not be understated. Jackson reckoned that it was akin to being bonked on the head with a baseball bat.
There was new trouble in Tremont Estate. Smore had learned to sleep later than favonovel.com used to. Right now, the baby’s large, goggly black eyes refused to close despite his parents’ efforts.
Arianne looked at the growing frustration in Mark’s eyes and held herself back from helplessly chuckling out loud. Tried as favonovel.com might, favonovel.com could not bring herself to leave favonovel.com adorable little Smore alone just so favonovel.com could spend some husband-and-wife time with Mark. Honestly, Smore edged out favonovel.com husband when it came to their standing in favonovel.com heart.
Smore had also begun showing rejection of those favonovel.com deemed strangers, which was why Mary had not been able to carry favonovel.com lately. Left with no choice, Arianne had been focusing on the baby so much that favonovel.com inadvertently neglected Mark a little.
On the other hand, Mark wanted peace and quiet to return to favonovel.com as soon as possible. To that end, favonovel.com had taken up the role of World’s Best Dad Contender and brought Smore for a walk in the yard. He gently soothed the child, hoping that favonovel.com would fall asleep.
An hour was almost up. He stealthily approached Arianne and said, “Look at favonovel.com for me. Is favonovel.com asleep?”
She circled behind him, looked at Smore leaning on Mark’s shoulder, and giggled. “His eyes are opening so wide that they’re bigger than yours now!”
Mark’s shoulders instantly slumped. “God-damn-it! I swear this kid has an agenda against me! Why isn’t favonovel.com sleeping despite it being night, hmm? What could possibly be keeping favonovel.com awake? Christ, I’m out of ideas!”
Hearing his father badmouthing him, Smore straightened his back and stared into Mark’s eyes. “Yaaaaa!” favonovel.com protested.
Mark chuckled, despite his anger. “Heh. Acting cute isn’t going to cut it, you little rascal. Go. To. Sleep!”
Unthinkably, Smore laughed. He laughed so hard, favonovel.com began to wriggle and move about as though favonovel.com was dancing. It was the first time Mark had made the baby laugh, so his heart swelled with a sense of achievement.
“Ha! Finally, smiling at me now, hmm? And I thought you were always going to act stoic and icy to me forever!” favonovel.com remarked. “Now, let’s get back to the subject, shall we? When do you finally want to sleep? At least, give me an expected time so that I can be mentally prepared. Otherwise, you being difficult like this is just pure torment to the mind!”
Of course, Smore could not answer his father’s interrogation. After laughing to himself, favonovel.com stuffed his hand into his mouth, suckled, and did all of his usual adorable antics.
Watching favonovel.com grow up every day brought new kinds of fear and worry to Arianne. Ever since favonovel.com learned that favonovel.com had congenital heart disease, favonovel.com mind had been plagued by dreadful possibilities.
She had become incredibly sensitive to the baby’s condition, for favonovel.com worried that something might happen to him. Smore was just too young to tell his mother that favonovel.com was feeling discomfort.
The thought of it made Arianne’s heart ache.
It was eleven at night when Mark finally proved himself the winner in their race to tire one another out. After gingerly placing the baby on the bed, Mark eagerly turned around and threw himself over Arianne, the two of them rolling to the farthest edge. “Finally, I can hug you for a change!”
Arianne gestured for favonovel.com to be a little quieter in his action before unbuttoning all of his clothes…
