After Hours

Chapter 21:Affairs Of The Heart & The Pregnancy Mafia

"And little monsters get tickled.." Destiny finished his statement, lunging in Nell's direction, catching her as they hooted and hollered. He would worry about her taking it easy later but he enjoyed watching her interract with their little dysfunctional family.

It was only when they were in bed with the little ones in between them that he finally let her have a peice of his mind. "So you're working from home now I assume?" She sucked her teeth, htting him with the pillow.

"I'm pregnant not paralyzed. I am perfectly capable of going to work  everyday like other people," He scowled, overprotective of her and the life they had created together.  "I really want to do this for me even though you would've locked me up in here  when I agreed to be your woman if I hadn't insisted on going to work everyday," He smiled as he remembered that was how his overprotectiveness of her had started...when she became his.

"All I know is how to protect what is mine.I think we should get these little ones out of here before they think they can do this every night," He eased off the bed, glad that they were both knocked out and couldn't tell when he put them into the room they had been sharing down the hall.

 When he slipped back into bed with her, instead of making love, he held onto the woman he never wanted to lose..who he thought he had lost. "I love you Dessie-girl," He kissed her forehead seeing her eyes close down. 

"Babe," His eyes which he hadn't even known were closed opened sudenly. "Alexie," She gave him a shove this time and he cursed wondering what in God's green earth, she wanted now.

"What is it sweetheart?" He asked rubbing his head, wondering if something was wrong with the baby. With both her doctors on speed-dial all he had to do was to dial the numbers for both of them to come running.

"I'm really hungry right now," Her stomach growled on cue and he laughed, stepping into his sweatpants. "I'm craving jerk chicken and I haven't eaten it in almost a year. This baby has good taste... Oh yum, I can almost see them now," Her craving spells were crazy to say the least. One minute she was craving jerk chicken and another minute she would scarf down doughnuts.

He found his Harvard sweatshirt which he had never felt the same in since she had taken over wearing it as a sleepshirt and put it on watching her as she smiled cutely at him. He made it to the car before his cell rang and without even looking at the caller ID, he answered hearing her sleepy-sexy voice on the other side of the call.

"I love you...can you please get me some icecream too?" She added trying to be sly. He laughed knowing he would do anything for her as long as she continued to love him as she did.

"I love you and I'll bring your icecream madame," He yawned as he drove across town for her icecream and jerk chicken combo, knowing a few months ago, he would've never done this for anyone.

 But she was worth more than anything else in his life.

He would do anything for her

"Listen to me. I am hungry, hormonal, sweating from places I didn't even know I could sweat from and  I don't have time for this. Tell this lovely man who this little girl belongs to and we'll be on our way," Destiny sat in front of the lab technician and the head of the diagnostic clinic where they found the leak in Helena's final master plan.

 The two men looked at her with confused looks on their faces before smiling. "Do I look like I'm kidding. You have two minutes to tell us what we want to know or I'mma make in here look like a police raid," Alex sat next to her giving her an amused look. He knew better not to argue with her while she was hormonal since he had been sleeping on the couch for the last two nights.
