Cold Showers

Chapter Forty six

Days Later

Jayda was seated behind her desk, going through some files when she felt a weird movement in her belly.

At first, She got scared, hoping nothing bad was happening to her daughter. She gently placed her hand on her belly and when she felt the movement again, happy tears welled up in her eyes at the realization of what had just happened.

"She moved!"

"Her baby girl kicked!"

Jayda wanted to go to the rooftop and shout to the whole world that she felt her baby move for the first time.

Smiling like crazy, She reached for her phone and dialled Sebastian who picked up after a few rings.

"It hasn't even been up to two hours and you're missing me already." Sebastian teased from the other side.

"Sorry to burst your ego, my dear fiancé, I wasn't missing you. I just called to let you know the latest about your daughter."

"Is anything the matter? Do you need me to come over?" Sebastian asked, already at alert.

"Nothing is wrong Seb. She moved. I felt her tiny kicks."

"Are you for real?" She could picture him with a priceless smile.

Jayda nodded, remembering he could not see her, She replied. "Yes, and it feels so amazing. I think she was trying to tell me how much she loves me and thank me for taking good care of her." Jayda smiled.

"I wish I was there with you to experience her first kick." Sebastian smiled sadly.

"Me too. Don't worry, you'll experience more of her kicks." Jayda assured.

.........................

Later in the evening.

Since they moved into their new home, it was a tradition for Seb and Jayda to have breakfast and dinner together and after dinner, they got ready for bed.

It was either they tuck Aaron in first (when he was around) and in the case where he doesn't sleep early, he stayed with Seb and Jayda in their bedroom, chat with them until he fell asleep after which Sebastian would take him to his room and tuck him in.

Tonight happened to be one of those nights where Aaron refused to go to bed on time. Not after Jayda informed him that she felt his little sister move. He wanted to feel her move too.

"Come on Sissy, it's Aaron, your big brother. I want to feel you move." Aaron pouted with his hands on Jayda's bump.

Jayda chuckled as she looked at her Son and Fiancé do all they could to get a kick from their little one.

"She couldn't be sleeping right? It's just a few minutes past eight?" Sebastian pouted, looking at Jayda. He wanted to feel their little miracle move so bad.

"I have no idea," Jayda replied with a sad smile.

"What are we going to do Aaron?" Seb asked.

Aaron thought for a while and then an idea struck him.

"I have an idea, daddy. I'll sing for her and you will shower Mommy's belly with kisses okay?"

Sebastian stole a glance and Jayda who shrugged.

"Okay, Son." He gave in

As soon as Aaron started singing, Seb started showering romantic kisses on Jayda's bump. A few seconds later, Sebastian felt a kick and his eyes watered.

"Wow." Aaron's eyes lit up with so much excitement as soon as he felt the kick.

"Mama, Sissy kicked, she liked the song" Aaron grinned.

"I think she does." Jayda smiled at her little Aaron.

Sebastian continued to shower Jayda's belly with light kisses. He was really overwhelmed; he could feel his daughter making some light movements and the feeling was amazing.

"Do you think Sissy wants juice, Daddy? She can have mine, it's in the fridge." Aaron offered.

Sebastian smiled as he removed some strands of hair that fell across Aaron's face.

"She's okay for now buddy. She will have the juice tomorrow. I think we actually disturbed her sleep."

"Oh!" Aaron exclaimed.

Seb and Aaron snuggled up to Jayda. Sebastian was on her right-hand side and Aaron was on her left-hand side.

"Thank you for blessing us with our princess," Seb kissed her right cheek.

"Mommy, Daddy, what are we going to call Sissy?"

Sebastian and Jayda looked at each other with smiles on their faces. Their baby's name was something they've never discussed.

"Daddy and I are still thinking about a name for your sister. Do you have any name in mind?" Jayda asked, interested.

"Maybe we can call her Sophie or Alexa," Aaron suggested.

The trio engaged in conversations until Aaron fell asleep after which they both went to tuck him in, in his room.

"I'm impressed with the names you suggested. I wonder why you never said anything before now." Jayda smiled as she slid in beside Sebastian.

Sebastian playfully scratched the back of his neck and spoke shyly. "I never said anything because I wasn't sure you would like the names."

"I love all the names you suggested, thank you for blessing me with such a wonderful miracle." She kissed his cheek.

Sebastian smiled, "We didn't start off on the right part but thank God we are good now. I'm sorry for everything I put you through. That was honestly not the real me."

"I almost went insane when I found out I was pregnant but now, she's the best thing that has ever happened to me. Feeling her move gives me another reason to be grateful. I love you, Sebastian. You, Aaron and our baby girl complete me. Thanks for giving me the best life I never dreamt of."

"Thank you too for loving us unconditionally," Seb placed a long kiss on her forehead.
