Chapter 90 - Eighty-Nine: A Baby

Three days later, as soon as Becca got home from work, Leo blindfolded her and told her he had a surprise for her. But Becca, on the other hand, thought Leo was going for kinky sex and started shaking.

" Having sex while being blindfolded could be really fun and hot. We should try it sometime but that isn't my intention now." He whispered in her ear, his hands on her shoulders as he guided her towards a room in the house.

"Then what is it?" Becca asked curiously, her hands stretched out trying to feel things in front of her but got nothing. Where the heck was he taking her?

" It's a surprise and you are going to love it," Leo assured.

Becca followed him silently as he led her to a door that he opened and stepped in.

" Well, what do you think?" Leo asked as he took off her blindfold.

Becca squinted at the large room, taking a few steps closer to the numerous bookshelves that were packed with books, the ebony desk on the left corner, and the piano on the far right.

" What is this?" She tilted her head at him and her jaw hung open. 

" Your library and study," Leo answered with a smile then beckoned at the piano." Also, your music room when you get bored, you know? Your own space." 

Leo recalled that Becca asked to have a room to herself because she wanted her own space but since he didn't grant her request back then, he decided to give this to her instead.

She gasped in surprise with a hint of a smile on her gaping lips.

" Do you like it?" Leo asked, hoping she did.

" Like it? Leo, I feel like Belle right now." She said, her hands on her face as she stared around in both awe and curiosity.

"Belle?" Leo asked and Becca nodded.

" You know when the beast shows Belle the huge library in his castle? It feels like the exact same thing." 

" So I am the beast at this moment? The cruel monster you have to stay with?" Leo asked and Becca's eyes widened, the smile on her lips gone as she shook her head.

" Except you are not a beast," Becca said and Leo couldn't help chuckling. If only she knew.

" Come here, my love," Leo said, inviting her into a hug. A smile brightened Becca's face on seeing Leo's opened arms and sauntered to him, snuggling herself in his embrace.

" Thank you, Leo. I love it." She said and raised her head to meet his gaze. " I love you." 

It was incredibly thoughtful of Leo to do something like this for Becca but it wasn't the countless books on the shelves or the room that made her heart swell, it was the intention behind him giving it to her. It was the same for the other times he had given her gifts in the past, it didn't matter to Becca how expensive they were, it was always him and his intention that meant the world to her.

His intention to show her how much she mattered to him. 

He held her tight but gently then bent his head to hers and sealed her lips with his. Her lips moved with his and he loved it, devouring her in a kiss was one of his favorite things to do.

Still kissing Becca, It didn't take long for Leo's desire for her to flare up. He held her by the waist and lifted her before carrying and placing her on the desk.

" Leo" 

" Right. This desk is for reading." Leo said and turned towards the piano. " But that old thing, though, we can use for other purposes." 

Becca flustered as Leo carried her to and placed her on the piano surface.

" How did you know that I used to play the piano?" Becca asked. She used to love playing the piano a lot when she was a kid but things were different now. It had been years since she last touched a piano key.

Leo cocked a brow in response, smiling and Becca shook her head.

" You know what? Don't answer that." From the way he was smiling at her, she could already deduce the answer. He must have found out about it by digging up information about her.

If it hadn't been for his sweet gestures that always found a way to melt her heart, Becca would have smacked him on his chest for invading her privacy like that before.

" Do you also play the piano?" She asked and Leo shook his head.

" Not really."

" Then why do you have it?" Becca tilted her head to the side and he smiled.

" This old thing has been in the house for years, unused. I dusted it off and put it here for you but I do play the violin though."

" You play the violin?" Becca asked in shock. She would never have guessed a man like Leo was into playing a musical instrument like the violin.

" Si, my grandfather said I had to pick a musical instrument so I chose the violin because it reminded me of a crossbow." Leo answer and Becca exploded into giggles.

" A crossbow?" She asked, laughing and Leo narrowed his eyes playfully at her.

" Give me a break, I was seven," Leo remembered how his grandfather would always scold him about everything. It was always Leonardo go practice your violin. Leonardo, stop doing this. Leonardo, why couldn't you be more like Damien?

For the love of God! If it wasn't for his grandmother's sake, he would have ended up shoving the damn violin down the old crapper's throat.

Leo returned his attention to his beloved and his smile brightened. " We can do a duet together if you want," Leo said but just before Becca could tell him that she didn't play the piano anymore, he started undoing the buttons on her shirt.

" Leo, we can't..." She held his hands to stop him.

" Why not?" Leo asked and she blushed.

" I saw my period this morning." She answered and the smile on Leo's face dropped.

" Oh," Disappointment buzz through him.

" It only lasts a couple of days then we can do it whenever you want." Becca immediately added and cupped his face.

" I know but that's not why I'm disappointed my love," Leo said and Becca creased her brows in confusion.

" It's not?"

Leo looked into her eyes. " Do you think a little blood would scare me? I would be willing to make love to your beautiful pussy even if it was shooting fire. I'm disappointed that you got your period in the first place." He felt her stomach and sighed. " I was hoping... I have been praying..."

" Leo, please don't say that," Becca said, biting her lower lip. 

" Why, my love?"

" Because I don't think I'm ready for that yet. I mean it's having a baby we are talking about here and it's such a big step." She explained honestly. What was Leo saying? A baby? They weren't ready for that yet. She didn't even know the first thing about being a mother.

" You said the same thing about moving in with me and here we are, living happily." He said, curling his arms around her waist. " Besides, I want to give you everything and have everything with you."

" But it scares me, Leo," Becca whispered and Leo closed his eyes, taking a deep breath before placing a kiss on her forehead.

" Listen to me, when it comes to me and our relationship, you have nothing to fear, my love." He vowed. " I might not be the ideal prince charming but I will always love, protect and care for you. Every single thought, every damn action of mine revolves around you, my love. You don't understand how deep you have carved yourself into me that I am ready to give up everything for you." 

He hugged her close and filled his nostrils with her scent.

" I know you will take care of me but..." 

" But what?" Leo asked in a tender voice and Becca smiled at him.

" Having a baby now is too soon. We haven't even sought our family's blessings yet. I think we should wait a while longer." Becca negotiated and Leo thinned his lips, his eyes turning sad and... and.. and cute.

How the hell did Leo learn how to be cute? 

Becca stared at him, batting her lashes at him. What the fuck, if Leo was being this cute then Becca was surely doing to be done for.

" How did you learn to be..."

" Cute?" Leo finished her question for her and she nodded. " Practice, my love. Do you know what else is cute? A baby, specifically our baby."

" Leo!" Becca whined and smacked his back.

" Do you know what isn't cute about having babies? Their crying and let's not forget the pain of giving birth."

" Don't worry about all that because it won't matter anymore once the baby is here. I will even help change her diapers." Leo offered.

" Her?" Becca asked, raising a brow.

" Yes, because if I ever have a son that behaved anything like I did when I was young, I swear, I'm going to shoot myself." He said before bending and placing a kiss on her stomach. Even the thought of her pregnant was hot. " Once your period is over, I'm going to make love to you until I finally put a baby inside you.. This is happening, my love."
