79 chapter 79. Flashback - 2

Andrew was so worked up that Alexander, who was with him during the whole time because he wanted to be there for his sister's first born, thought Andrew was going to pass out from extreme anxiety before he had a chance to see his first born.

Andrew shuddered lightly, remembering the memory of that day and thinking he had to go through that phase again was terrifying in itself.

Little did he know, this time, on the birth of his second child, whom Beatrice wanted to have desperately not minding his worries, would be more terrifying than anything in his life.

Beatrice tilted her head and peered at Andrew, took few calming breathes knowing it's not good to get angry during pregnancy, suppressing the flame within her. 

Here he was at it again. Even though he is very caring and concerned about her, too much is infuriating. It's always like this almost every day and yet, she can't say anything. Because, it was all out of love. So she could only accept his care and love. 

But that's not the reason to irk her. Her husband called their baby 'thing', which she just couldn't accept. Of course, no mother could accept calling their children that way. 

She struggled to keep the smile on her face before continuing, " That's too rude of you Andy. How can you call our child 'a thing'. I agree we didn't name the baby yet. But that doesn't cover the fact you can go on calling it a thing. Don't you know, babies have ears too and they can understand your words. What if the baby isn't sleeping and hears it. Wouldn't our little baby get hurt? So I advice you to mind your words while addressing MY child. " She greatly emphazied on MY baby, leaving him in utter disbelief, giving a break to take a breath, she continued, " And I still got sometime before going through labor. So you should stop worrying too much. "

Is she going through mood swings? What she mean by saying 'MY baby',that's clearly my baby too. Why is she irked up all of a sudden? Probably she is feeling uncomfortable from all the standing. Ah, I should have understood that earlier and searched for a place to take her for rest.

She should have just told me directly. How am I supposed to know without her telling me? It's good that I am quick witted and read books about pregnant ladies to take care of her earlier. Otherwise it would have been bad. 

He put a hand on back of Beatrice, trying to support her to walk, while searching for a place for her to sit and rest. "Hang on for a second." Andrew said, troubled expression still lingering on his flawless face. He wandered his eyes arround the area, for a nearby place to sit.

Beatrice rolled her eyes at her husband. "I don't know, Andrew. I want to have fresh air. It feels so suffocating to be seated in one place. " She said, while leaning into Andrew's chest even more. "And, for your kind information, my demands are not mine alone, they are the baby's. Baby told it wants something eye pleasing. So I brought baby here. ." Beatrice stated.

Are you sure you ain't asking for things on the name of baby? 

That's the thought crossed his mind. But he didn't dare to say that out loud. 

Just then, they reached towards a stone which was a bit flat and at a perfect height for a very pregnant lady to sit.

Andrew guided her to sit by supporting her back. Beatrice held a very prominent belly and took a seat on the bench looking rock. Andrew made sure that Beatrice was completely comfortable in sitting and sat down on the rock, which was beside the bigger one. 

The rock was bit shorter than the rock on which Beatrice sat. Andrew made himslef comfortable and looked up to gaze into Beatrice's face. Beatrice is also, looking at him with fond smile. 

"So, how are you gonna blame our second baby to do your wishes." Andrew asked, while carassing Beatrice's belly and smiling innocently at it. 

Beatrice gasped dramatically, highly offended by the statement and hit Andrew on his arm, which resulted in loud laugh from her husband. 

"Commander Rutz, now you are accusing me. I should remind you that this baby of ours, has taken over from you. Always having bizzare wishes." Beatrice scolded Andrew and looked away. 

Andrew looked at her in amusement and raised up slightly to kiss Beatrice on cheek. When she felt the kiss being placed, she immediately jerked away, covering her cheek. She glanced around trying to find if anyone saw that. Her cheeks instantly turned rosy from shyness. Even though they are intimate for many times already, she still couldn't help but feel shy from his sudden kisses and hugs. 

"You are impossible, " She scoffed  but her smile was very much visible. That redness never washing away from her face, making her look even more adorable. 

"You always like it, though, my love" Andrew replied cheekily and laughed. 

But, he noticed that Beatrice's attention was not on him. He looked towards the direction she was looking, but he could only see the pebbles that were on the path. He didn't understand what she was looking at. 

"Beatrice, are you alright?"
