Chapter 355 - Family

Claire stood beside the car as she watched Leo put her bag into the car.

Last night they called his parents to tell them they were coming over and his mom told them to pack their stuff, that they were going to spend the night.

So in the morning, after getting some of his stuff, he drove to her home. Leo didn't let her do a thing. He made her sit down and just tell him what and what to pack.

She barely lifted a finger. The only thing he let her do was bath and brush because she had insisted, everything else, he helped her, even eating.

And now he was putting her bag into the car.

When he closed the trunk, he hurried over to the passenger's seat and opened the door for her to get in.

"Leo, I'm just a few weeks, I'm not weak yet."

She groaned already getting sick of his pampering.

"I know." Leo said, helping her to put her seat belt and then kissing her lips, before going to the other side of the car.

"Are you comfortable?"

He asked as he started the car, about to drive out.

Claire nodded and he drove out.

On the way, he stopped by an Ice cream place and bought her some and snacks.

Claire smiled as she took them from him,

"Thank you." She smiled cutely.

"Don you want anything else?"

He asked and she shook her head.

"Mm…"

This tastes so good. She smiled as she ate some more, then looking at him, She brought a spoonful towards his lips,

Leo opened his mouth and ate it,

"what kind of wedding do you want?"

Claire asked as she withdrew the spoon and filled it up again.

"I don't know, I don't really have a choice, anyone you choose is good for me. What do you want?"

"Mm… I love big weddings, with celebrities attending. And everyone taking our pictures. I mean it's not everyday you get to see couples as beautiful as us. I want our wedding to be on the lips of everyone for almost a month if not more."

Leo smiled, "Okay let's do that."

"But why do I feel that you're doing this to make fun of your father?"

"He's not my father."

Claire corrected, "And yes it's part of it. I want the whole world to know what kind of a father he is, because he won't be attending my wedding."

Leo sighed and took her hand, interlocking in his.

"Let's not talk about him today, okay? Today I'd a happy day."

"Right, we shouldn't bring him up anymore."

Claire nodded and continued eating her snacks.

Half way through the ride, Claire dozed off.

Leo adjusted her seat to make her lying posture comfortable. When he arrived she was still sleeping.

Not wanting to wake her up, he remained in the car.

His mother walked out of her little farm after tending the garden, and when she saw him in the driver's side through the wound down window, she opened her lips to scream but Leo stopped her in time by placing a finger over his mouth.

His mother was shocked and she approached the car with caution,

Mouthing a 'what's wrong?' at him, Leo pointed at the passengers side and murmured.

"She's sleeping."

His mom's eyes widened in surprise and she blinked.

"Wake her up then,"

Leo shook his head, "No, maybe the baby wants to sleep, she'll wake up by herself."

His mother's eyes grew.

"Wait… she's having a baby?"

She asked with glee, slapping his arm, as though scolding him for not telling her.

Leo held her hand and led her away from the car so they wouldn't wake Claire.

"I wanted to tell you today,"

"She's really having a baby! Oh my! I'll be a grandma?"

Leo smiled when he saw the excitement in her eyes.

"Where is dad?"

"He went to see your Uncle Mark, so tell me, is it a boy or a girl?"

"mom, she's just a few weeks, we don't know yet."

"Oh, okay. I'm going to be a grandma!"

She exclaimed excitedly, turning to look at Claire who was still sleeping in the car, she smiled,

"Let her sleep, as long as she wants, we don't want to trouble my baby."

Leo chuckled,

"And she'll be very hungry when she wakes up, let me hurry and heat up the food, so she would eat as soon as she wakes up."

His mom said and hurried into the house.

Leo opened the trunk of the car and took out their bags, carrying it into the house. Walking back to the car, he sat down quietly on his seat.

His eyes turned to Claire as he watched her sleep, and as though she sensed something, her eyes fluttered open.

She blinked and looked at him,

"Are we there yet?"

She asked as her eyes turned forward but when she saw the building in front, her eyes widened.

"Leo, why didn't you wake me, how long have we been here?"

"Just now."

Leo said and Claire turned to him,

"Thank goodness, hope your parents didn't catch me sleeping?"

"Nope, not at all."

Claire smiled and stepped out of the car.

"Okay, let's go in. Open the trunk let's take out bags,"

She said, walking to the trunk,

"I've already taken it inside."

Claire creased her brows.

"And you said we just arrived?"

"Mm, I took it in just now."

Claire nodded, "Okay, let's go in."

Leo took her hand and led her into the house.

His mom was setting the table when she saw them walk in,

"Oh my beautiful, you're awake."

''. ''

Claire's eyes turned to Leo in shock, did he not say that his mom didn't see her. Leo stared forward with a grin on his lips, making sure not to look at her as he was sure she was glaring at him.

"How are you my dear?"

His mom took off her kitchen gloves and walked towards her, Claire let go of Leo and hugged her.

"I'm very fine, Ma'am. What about you?"

"Oh I'm doing great and you can call me mom! Come here, come here, food is ready, I know you must be hungry."

She said, holding Claire's hand she led her to the table,

Pulling out a chair for Claire, Claire sat on it.

Leo followed and sat in front of her.

"Eat to your fill."

She said and opened the dishes in front of her. Leo took a plate and served her, while his mom sat down and watched her eat with a sweet smile on her lips.

"Oh wow, this tastes so good."

Claire smiled as she tasted the food in her mouth,

"Oh I'm so happy you love it. Do you want anything else?"

His mom asked and Claire shook her head. From the way she was acting she knew Leo already told her she was pregnant.

Now she knew where Leo got his pampering nature from. His mother was sure not going to let her lift a finger to do anything.

"Where is Nina and Daddy?"

Claire asked when she didn't see any of them.

"Oh Nina went to the library and his father will soon be back, he went to see his brother."

She said and Claire nodded.

She continued eating and when she raised her eyes, she found Leo and his mom watching her,

Claire gulped. She isn't the first woman to get pregnant, why were they staring at her like that?

She cleared her throat and drank some water,

"My dear, hope Leo is taking good care of you?"

Claire shook her head,

"Mom, you can't imagine, he pampers me too much, the only thing he let's me do is breathe."

Claire pouted and his mom laughed,

"Oh my dear, you shouldn't do anything. We don't want to harm the baby."

She said, caressing her arm.

Claire sighed,

This baby wasn't out yet and it was already over pampered.

After eating, Leo took Claire to their room and he helped her unzip her dress.

Claire stepped out of it and packed her hair into a bun.

Leo's eyes fell on her flat tummy, Claire caught his gaze,

"Stop staring at my tummy, you won't see any bump till three months."

Leo smiled, grabbing her, he hugged her close,

"I know, it just that… it still feels unreal that our baby is growing in there."

Claire smiled, "Me too."

Leo kissed her forehead,

"I love you so much, Claire."

"I love you too, Leo. And I think you'll make a great dad."

She smiled at him and tiptoed kissing his lips.

Leo held her head and deepened the kiss,

Claire's hands fumbled with his shirt and in the next second, she tossed it on the floor,

Leo lifted her up the ground and carried her to the bed, their lips still connected.

His hands undid his zipper and let his pants fall to the floor.

Leo kissed her again, his hands caressing her b.r.e.a.s.ts,

"It is okay to do it now?"

He asked, his breath heavy as his eyes stared at her l.u.s.tily,

Claire chuckled, "yeah, it's safe as long as we're not too fast I think."

It wasn't as if she'll be able to stop now.

She m.o.a.ned as his lips found her weak spot on her neck, her eyes rolling backward.

Her fingers dug into his back as he felt him enter her slowly.

Her h.i.p.s moved against him but Leo tried to control his pace. Although that was safe, after a while it became frustrating,

"Can you move a little faster?"

She complained, his pace was just slow pure torture.

"What if we hurt the baby?" Leo asked, 

"Ah, a little faster won't hurt, just a little faster,"

"Okay,"

Leo held her h.i.p.s and increased his pace, after a while they were coming. 

Leo fell on the side as he panted, he was about to hug her when a knock came on the door and their eyes turned to it.
