Xavier’s POV
I ended the call and continued on my way, Jessica stirred a bit and I touched her gently before removing my hand, she relaxed back into her seat, as restless as a cat, if her morning sickness persist then she will have to work from home then, because there is no way I am taking any risks with her, after all it’s her company she can do whatever she wants to.
I got home and carried her upstairs to our room and tucked her in after removing her office wear and footwear, I came downstairs to meet with our cook,
“Hello aunty”
“Sir Xavier, you came back early, where is madam?”
“She is sleeping upstairs, she is a bit sick, I think it’s because of her condition, I came to talk to you about her food ”
“Okay, what should I do?”
“Honestly I don’t really know what a pregnant woman can eat without vomiting or feeling sick”
“I have ideas on what and what, I will get all of them and she will know the ones that can stay down ”
“Thank you a lot aunty, I think she likes sour and sweet things because I saw her assistant taking the package out and I saw her eating it yesterday too, so add it to her menu too ”
“Okay then sir, I will try my best okay, don’t worry she will be fine”
“I hope so too, I will be upstairs then”
“Are you hungry, do you want me to get anything for you?”
“Uhmm….. ah no am fine, I will tell you if I want to eat something later ”
“Okay then”
I went back upstairs to her, she is still sleeping soundly and peacefully, it was calming to look at, I removed my clothes except my briefs and joined her in bed, I had removed everything she was wearing except her panties, I removed her bra to allow her breath well, I cuddle up to her, caressing her back gently, I soon fell asleep.
The next time I awakened, she was already awake, just playing on my chest, I pecked her on her forehead, then her lips,
“How are you feeling sweetie?”
” Am feeling a bit better than before, thank you for your help”
“Why are you thanking me Angel? There is no thanks between people that are married or in a relationship, we care for each other”
“Uhmmm, am hungry but am scared i might throw up again ”
“Don’t worry, I have already informed aunty cook about it, she is trying things that pregnant woman can eat and not vomit so you can choose which one you want okay?”
“Okay then, you what about work? You left work in the middle of the day, do you think they will be okay?”
“Yes, it’s fine, I can work from home if it’s urgent and that reminds me, can you just work from home during this time of your pregnancy, it will help out in case something like this happens again ”
“…. Okay I will think about it but any time I want to go to the office, I can go?”
“Yes of course as long as you promise to call when you feel sick so that I can come pick you up”
“Okay, that’s fair enough ”
“Okay now, dress up let’s go downstairs or if you want the food can be brought up here to you ”
“…….. Uhmmmm, this is really tempting but let me stretch my leg a little bit”
“Okay, let’s get dressed and go”
We dressed up and went downstairs for food, I perceived a smell I have never smelt before, I watched as the cook set the table, she made a varieties of dishes, meat, fish and vegetable, I watched closely as Jessica’s eyes roamed over the food set, she concentrated on the meat dishes totally ignoring the vegetables and others.
She sat down immediately and started eating without wasting time, she was eating like someone that hasn’t eaten anything for a long time, I exchanged eye contact with the cook, seems like little butterfly prefer meat … and vegetable (she went for it too), the cook smiled and left.
I started eating mine albeit slowly, she drank the lemon juice that was made for her, she finished soon and after relaxing a bit, she went upstairs, I was almost done with him, I joined her too, it was after six by then.
We took our bath together and went to sleep because it’s getting late, we dressed up and lay down, she partially on top of me,
“You like the food then? If what I deduced isn’t true”
“It’s ok, I like those ones, everything she made is okay, I just started craving for that at the particular time”
“Okay then, I will tell the cook so that she will be making them for you, if you have any other cravings tell them okay?”
“Okay, Xavier, I want to sleep now, give me some cuddles ”
I hugged her and smiled cuddling her as she wanted, we slept off.
In the middle of the night around one in the morning, I heard sniffling and tiny sobs, I sat up immediately to see Jessica crying,
“What is it sweetheart?”
“Nothing? Am fine”
“It can’t be nothing, why are you crying, come in tell me sweetie, okay, tell me”
She raised her puffy face to me, her face was full of tears and snots, I cleaned it up for her and held her close me,
“Now tell me, what is upsetting you?”
“Am… I want to have a chocolate and vanilla mixed fruit ice cream”
“Is that why you were crying?”
“I couldn’t find it in the fridge and I am craving for it so bad it hurts and it’s late”
“Don’t worry I know where to get it for you, stop crying and wait for me”
“Are you sure, I wouldn’t want you getting it tomorrow ”
“Don’t worry ”
I pecked her and left, honestly I don’t know anywhere but I will go to any (24/7) Supermarket, convenience store around to get it for her.
