first time1
Letta remained stunned as she felt Marco’s thumb continuously caressing her lower lip, leaving her only able to gaze into Marco’s eyes, which were now fixed on her. Marco then pulled Letta to sit on his lap, so they faced each other at a close distance.
“You know how hard I’m trying not to devour you right now,” Marco said, making Letta chuckle.
“How hard?” Letta asked, making Marco reach out to the side of Letta’s face and gently caress it, gazing at every inch of his wife’s face.
“Very hard, I don’t want to hurt you with this intense desire,” Marco said, making Letta shake her head immediately.
“You won’t hurt me. I trust you,” Letta said, making Marco shake his head.
“No, we don’t even know how our baby is doing inside here,” Marco said, stroking Letta’s visibly rounded belly, making Letta smile.
“He’s doing fine in there. I even felt his movements last night,” Letta said, making Marco widen his eyes.
“Has he really moved?” Marco asked, making Letta nod.
“He moved while I was asleep, but I could feel it. Whether he was kicking or punching, I don’t know,” Letta replied, making Marco smile broadly.
“Next time, if he moves, let me know,” Marco said, making Letta nod. Marco then embraced Letta, burying his face in the nape of her neck, inhaling Letta’s scent deeply.
“I really love your scent,” Marco said, making Letta smile.
“My current scent is just the medication I’ve been taking,” Letta said, making Marco shake his head.
“No, I recognize this scent very well. Even from the first time we met until now, your scent hasn’t changed, always making me unable to restrain myself,” Marco said, making Letta feel the warm breath of her husband on her neck, prompting Letta to gently push Marco away.
“I’m curious, how did we first meet?” Letta asked, making Marco pause. Marco had to wrack his brain again with Letta’s sudden question. Marco seemed like a writer of a book because he had to craft a story for his wife’s life.
“We met at a party, and our first meeting made me unable to look away from you. That’s why we ended up like this, married, and soon to have a child,” Marco said, making Letta smile as she watched Marco caressing her round belly.
“Are you happy?” Letta asked, making Marco nod his head.
“Yes, very, very happy,” Marco replied, making Letta smile. Letta then gazed at her husband’s face for a moment.
“It seems that I’ve been very much in love with you before as well because, for some reason, even though I don’t remember how we were before, I already liked you so much. I always feel nervous when we’re this close,” Letta said, making Marco pause. Could it be possible, Marco thought, because everything seemed contrary to what Letta had just said.
“Yes, of course, you love me so much because I’m a handsome, wealthy, kind-hearted, understanding man who deeply loves his wife. There’s no room for me to make you leave or reject my feelings,” Marco said, making Letta laugh at her husband’s confidence. But the next moment, Letta nodded, feeling that everything Marco said was a fact.
“Yes, it’s true, I seem to be infatuated with that face of yours,” Letta said, making Marco smile too. Letta fell silent. For some reason, there was a feeling that made her always want to be close to Marco. Letta caressed her husband’s face, prompting Marco to once again try to bring their faces closer, when a door opened, revealing a nurse standing at the doorway.
“Sorry, I should have knocked first,” the nurse said, making Letta tilt her head.
“It’s okay, Sister. Are you going to check on me now?” Letta asked, making Marco slowly lower Letta from his lap.NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.
“No, but it’s time for your prenatal examination,” the nurse replied, making Letta beam, and so did Marco, as this was what they had been waiting for during the examination of their unborn child.
“Okay then,” Letta said, which finally led the nurse and Marco to take Letta to a different room. Marco pushed Letta in a wheelchair because Letta was still not strong enough to walk far, as they had to move to a different room and floor to check Letta’s pregnancy, until they finally arrived at a room with a different doctor as well.
“Please lie down,” the doctor said, making Letta follow every instruction the doctor gave. They were about to perform an ultrasound, making Marco also nervous and excited. This was the first time in his life that he had seen his future child through a large flat screen in front of him.
“Your gestational age is currently at twenty-two weeks, and the fetus’s condition is very good. He’s growing well, although I see the history of your pregnancy, which is enough to make everyone admire your struggle,” the doctor said, making Letta smile.
“Yes, it’s been a tough journey, doctor,” Letta said, making the doctor smile as well. The doctor then explained how each organ of the fetus was already perfectly visible.
“It’s predicted to be a girl,” the doctor said, making Letta smile, as did Marco.
“Look, she seems to be asleep,” the doctor said again, which for some reason made them feel their eyes starting to well up as the doctor stopped the movement of a device on her abdomen.
“Do you want to listen to her heartbeat?” the doctor asked, making Letta nod enthusiastically. The doctor placed the device on Letta’s round belly, starting to search for the fetus’s heartbeat, and the next moment, Letta truly wanted to cry with emotion upon hearing the sound of the heartbeat, which sounded like a galloping horse.
“Her heartbeat sounds fast,” Letta said, her voice trembling, holding back tears, but of course, Letta couldn’t hold it in, as a teardrop moistened the corner of her eye.
“Her heartbeat is also very strong,” the doctor said, making Letta look at Marco, who also looked enthusiastic, and even his expression was indescribable as a wide smile spread across Marco’s face, until the examination was over.
“I will give the report to the doctor currently examining you. Thank you, I hope the mother and the fetus are healthy and will soon leave this hospital,” the doctor said, making Letta smile. Marco pushed Letta in a wheelchair back to her room, but Letta stopped his movement.
“Can we take a walk in the garden first? Look, the sun is shining so brightly. I’m bored staying in the room all the time,” Letta said, making Marco nod slowly. Marco took Letta to the very large hospital garden, adorned with flowers, and the chirping of birds made Letta feel the happiness she was feeling at the moment.
“I’m happy just by hearing the heartbeat of our baby,” Letta said, making Marco nod his head.
“Yes, I’m also very happy. This is the first time I’ve felt something like this. It’s as if my chest wants to shatter because this heartbeat is really beating so strongly,” Marco said, making Letta look up, gazing at her husband with her wide smile, and Marco returned the smile.
