Husband With Benefits

Olivia lay down on the couch with a sigh as she cast a final glance at the surroundings. Everything was perfect for the evening. Now all she needed was her husband coming home on time. All that fragrance had been making her so hungry that she was almost ready to eat a horse by now! It was as if the pregnancy had turned her stomach into a bottomless pit!

As she glance down at her slightly rounded stomach, she placed a hand there and gently caressed, talking to her babies, " Are you both going to be gluttons like your father? Always looking to eat something and then claiming that you’re still growing? Hmm. Well, you can do that, but atleast do it when you come out into this world. If I keep eating like this, I’ll be as fat as a cow by then. How will I use the beauty trap on your father then? Hmm?"

With a giggle, Olivia slid down even more and closed her eyes," Sigh. I’m thinking of all nonsensical things. What beauty trap? When you guys come around, our days and nights are going to be spent looking after the two of you. According to all the parenting books that your father has been foisting on me, I should catch my sleep as much as I can now. You guys won’t be like that, will you?"

"Sigh! Maybe, maybe not. I can only prepare myself. But I am warning the two of you, when it comes to diaper duty, you have to be on my team and poop only when your dad is on duty to change. Understood? Remember, I’ve been your constant companion since you... came out of your daddy!"

Even as she continued talking softly to her babies, Olivia closed her eyes and slowly fell asleep, still mumbling sweetly.

It was how Seb found her on the couch. The house enshrouded in the dark, with little lights casting glow and shadows all over the place. He looked around at the table which had been laid out and the unlit candle and flowers there. She’d prepared so much for their little celebration. Thankfully, he’d come on time, unlike the last time when he’d been late.

However, just as he was about to call her name, his eyes fell on the little curled figure on the couch. Uh oh. She’d fallen asleep again. Looking at the little glow around her face, where it was cast in shadows, he felt all his worries melt away. The questions he had, the answers he needed, could all wait.

Casting aside his suit jacket, he unbuttoned the top two buttons of his shirt and rolled up his sleeves. Slowly, he got onto the couch, spooning up behind her so that his body was around her. He buried his face in the nape of her neck, his nose breathing in her scent, while his hands gently rested over hers on her stomach.
