Chapter 241: Pregnant For Him
"Give her to me. I want to nurse her." Aryana looked at the father and daughter duo on the couch.
Erik stood up. He assisted Aryana with one hand while carrying Baby Erika with the other. He led her to a single couch with a footrest so she could be comfortable while breastfeeding.
The moment she cradled her baby, Erika started seeking her breast. Aryana was wearing a hospital gown customized for nursing mothers so there was a pair of flaps covering her chest area that could be lifted easily to expose her nipple and a portion of her breast.
The first time Baby Erika latched on her breast, she hissed.
"Are you in pain?" Erik stood beside her and inquired worriedly.
"A little bit. The book said it would get better after some time." Aryana smiled gently.
Erik took the stool from the other side of the bed, placed it beside Aryana, and sat on it. He looked at his wife and daughter dotingly. He took his cell phone and snapped a photo of his wife and little princess. He chose an angle that showed Aryana’s beautiful profile and half of Baby Erika’s face.
When Baby Erika was fully fed, Erik took her from Aryana and let her lie with her stomach at his chest.
"I didn’t know you are an expert on handling a newborn, Erik."
"I practiced a lot with a doll," Erik said with pride.
"Now, I realized why I named the baby, Erika. Somehow, my subconscious mind remembered you." Aryana patted the baby’s back gently while staring into Erik’s eyes.
