" I understand what you're going through but to me it didn't translate that way. I would have appreciated your communication earlier and not at my insistence." He nodded in understanding kissing my hands. " Can we take a leap of faith once more. I don't doubt that we'll pass our assessment of how well we can provide for them but you're not building an emotional connection with him and that might hurt us." I saw fear and regret flash across his eyes. "I'm sorry love, I'll help more with him from now on. I was just scared." I pulled him into a hug his head landing on my bosom and he nestled into them groaning. " I miss these, can I snack on them just a little?" He asked so sweetly giving me those eyes Zanda often gave me and she knew she had me because I couldn't resist giving her whatever she desired.

" No Yanda the kids." I giggled pushing him off. "Just a little baby, I promise. 10 minutes tops." He begged to which I shook my head to. "But babe it's been a loooong week." He whined. "Tonight, and it won't be a quickie." I whispered and his eyes lit up. My big baby though. "Ok, I love you!" He pecked my lips a wide smile etched on his lips. "Now we need to tell our family and friends about the new addition. How do you prepose we do that?" He asked trailing the pad of his finger on my collarbone.

"Well tomorrow is the Sunday , the others are coming for the day. Perfect time to break the news to them. We can tell the rents and drive down next weekend and since it's a long weekend we can go to both homesteads. The friends well..." I wasn't sure when or how we'd tell them.
"We can invite them over tomorrow as well. We'll Skype the rents and Onami's parents as well. It'll be a big affair." That sounded like a better idea we then agreed on that and off he went to his working station in the backyard banging away.

I was roused from sleep by the suspicious silence and I tumbled out of bed still rubbing the sleep from my eyes to see Yanda was already up but no surprise there. Every spare minute he spent prepping the baby's room. I walked down the hall to Zanda's room and found it empty. I started panicking. I hope Zanda didn't try to pick him up. I hadn't emphasised how she couldn't do that because she'd never tried to. She always plays with him in the crib or play pen. I raced downstairs and followed the low hum of Bluey playing on the living room television. The sight before me stopped the words from tumbling out my mouth.

Yanda had the baby on his chest. He just about covered the span of Yanda's shirtless left pec and Zanda was snuggled into his right and the the three of them fast asleep. My heart just about swelled right out of my rib cage. I grabbed Yanda's phone off the coffee table and snapped pictures of them doing my best not to interrupt them and sent them to myself.

I left them there to go and prepare for the day as we'd have a full house all of today. Right after I'd showered Zanda came up to find me. She climbed onto my lap and clung onto me like she did on most mornings back in Ntabenhle as I worked through my stubborn hair. I finally sleeked it down and tied it in a low bun. "Please do mind like this too Koki." Zanda finally rasped out smiling up at me. "Good morning my sunshine." I greeted smiling down at her. "Morning my Koki." She mumbled nuzzling her head into my neck squeezing me tight. "You smell nice Koki, can I spray that perfume that smells pretty, pretty please Koki." She wanted to spray the Marc Jacobs Daisy Dreams scent. It was her favourite. She'd often slip into my clothes after work and twirl around in them if I'd worn it that day draped in my jewellery. "Okay baby but just this once. Okay?" She squealed peppering my whole face in kisses. I loved this little human with my whole being and I'll be damned if I ever let them take her from me again. And I made sure to tell her as such. "I love you my sunshine, so so much. Do you know that?" She nodded smiling wide back at me, her beady eyes piercing into mine. "Me too koki now can we please do my hair. I want to be pretty like you." I laughed, there was my larger than life unabashed force to be reckoned with Zanda rearing her head again. "Okay baby." I stood up with her in my arms and placed her in the chair.

I looked up in the mirror and caught Yanda staring back at us with the baby in his arms still against his left pec. We're having a photoshoot even if I have drag the three of them to a studio and several of them will be him shirtless and in sweats and our baby cradled in his arm just like now walking over to my vanity table his muscles rippling beneath. "Morning babe." His morning voice reverberated right to my core making my nipples stand to attention. This man made me insatiable. He loved on every single part of me last night I can still feel him as though he's still buried deep within me.
" Good morning love." I whispered breathlessly as he placed a kiss on my cheek. My eyes refusing to tear away from his reflection. Daddy Yanda was damn fine. I bit my lower lip to keep from the sound that threatened to claw its way out of my lungs and I raked my eyes over his back down to his round backside as he walked to the bed and placed the baby gently beside him. "Koki what's taking so long?" Zanda whined impatiently. My eyes widened as I remembered what I'm meant to be doing right now. "Sorry baby, go get the water spray bottle from the bathroom and the detangling brush." She darted off and I caught Yanda's eyes in the mirror again. Amusement and a tinge of lust was dancing behind them.

"Come here." His morning voice ordered and again shot throbs right to my nether region. I normally hate being ordered around but this time my limbs followed it before my mind could process what he'd said and formulate a rebuttal. He widened the space between his legs and I slid into them and settled me on his right thigh placing his hand on my thigh and gently caressing before reaching for my hand and leading it to his very apparent bulge. " This, you do this to me. Sometimes I could be in a meeting and the mere thought of you, the memory of being buried deep in your loins leaves me hard as hell and that just the thought of you and now, now you're gawking at me the look in your eyes begging me to fuck you, testing my restraint, that I might add is hanging by a very loose thread..." with each word he grunted out goosebumps spread across my body making me press my thighs together in attempt to ease the throb between them. "...you're here in my arms but I can't because for one our children are here..." my hears fluttered our children. "And in a few ours so will my siblings and our friends so my dear wife," he punctuated that with a kiss dangerously close to my shirt covered nipple. "Put those eyes away before I call the lot of them and tell them to keep far from my house , distract the kids and pound into you until day break." That idea was appealing to me the longer he peppered my neck in kisses until Zanda broke the list filled air.

"Found them Koki!" I silently wished this day was over and everyone had left my house and the children fast asleep and my husband was fulfilling his promises in throes of passion.
