Let Me Love You Again
Chapter 78

Jess

I snorted and tried to roll over in bed, awkwardly, while the nervous legs continued. I touch my belly feeling one of the children kicking, definitely the female, I felt that she was the one who moved more than the male.

For days now I couldn’t sleep, my stomach and the pains continued. I took my cell phone and checked my messages.

That afternoon I had written to Maya and she had not deigned to answer me, she had seen the message but had not responded. Funny. It wasn’t knitted.

I felt a twinge in my lower abdomen and gnashed my teeth, breathing through my nose as I waited for it to pass.

Andrew next to me slept blissfully, with his hands over his head and his blond hair ruffled. God, how sexy was he, was there a time when I wouldn’t find him sexy? I don’t think so.

It was like that From the moment I saw him again at the beginning of my senior year in high school, although I had imposed myself not to have any kind of relationship until the final exams and seeing him with other girls made me crazy but I had always tried to resist the urge to take them one by one hair, but I could not. My pride wouldn’t let me. I had to be the best, the best. Be the first. And so it was.

I had arrived first but I had spent a whole year watching Andrew flirting with others, in an obvious attempt to get my attention, and then really f*****g them.

Then it was the night of the post-graduation party at home, he had arrived there, fabulous as always and I had completely shaved in order to get him that same night. I wanted him for myself, but he showed up with Shila Torres attached to his arm and neck.

They got in my hot tub and they started making out like there was no tomorrow. At that moment I thought I had arrived too late. That Andrew had grown tired of me and didn’t want me anymore, he didn’t want me anymore.

So I went for the booze. May and Luc gave me one shot of tequila after another while I kept my eyes glued to Andrew and Shila. When she straddled him, I couldn’t take it anymore, and I got in the bathtub, and I snuck between them and separated them.

If she could, Shila would drown me, but I gave her a sweet smile and forced her to sit on the other side in front of us and I started a conversation while touching Andrew.

I had put my hand on his thigh and made my eyes soft until they almost watered me.

I can never forget Andrew’s frowning eyes every time I touched him. Then Shila had invited him to get inside the house, definitely looking for my room to spite me, and I had rested my head on Andrew’s shoulder, blinking like a b***h in heat and Andrew had stayed. As soon as Shila had been distracted by someone else, while we were talking hotly, I jumped on him and kissed him with everything I had. We’d been talking for ten minutes while I stared at his lips intently until I gave in and kissed him.

And his taste had unleashed in me, things I didn’t know I could feel. Andrew had been off the hook for a second, then he dragged me to him and kissed me passionately. He had grabbed me by the h**s and placed me astride him, I had surrounded his neck with my arms and kissed him.

I’d kissed him with everything I’d held for all those previous months.

I remember that I had lost the knowledge of everything that was next to me and of the time, it only mattered to him, his arms, and finally his lips. Then we went to my room, and when we were first together, it was like an explosion. Like we were created to be one.

His body seemed to have been shaped for me, like two pieces of a puzzle that fit together perfectly, and already from that first time I knew I was in love with him. Madly in love with that guy that I had known for years, and that had made me lose my mind for years, and I knew that my life, from that moment, had finally taken on meaning and that I didn’t want to be away from him anymore.

And now I found myself there, more than six years after that night, watching him sleep blissfully in our bed, in our house, with the family we were building together, and even though it had been painful all those years, Even though we had faced hard trials that almost broke us, we were still there, together, as we would be forever.

Again one of the children moved and I smiled touching my huge tummy. We had given life to those two little creatures inside of me, he and I, united, had created something wonderful and I couldn’t wait to have them in my arms and I knew that they would both be perfect.

I Smiled and I passed my hand in his hair while he sighed a “Love” before calming down.

I closed my eyes and tried to fall asleep again, but another thick, stronger one made me stare immediately.

I tried to get up as quietly as possible but the only result was to roll like a whale and sit down with difficulty while another twinge hit me. This time I g*****d and immediately Andrew opened his eyes and turned to me.

As soon as he saw me sitting with one hand on my belly, he stood straight and came towards me, kneeling on the mattress with a worried look.

“Babe, are you okay?” he said, massaging my belly.

“I’m fine, love, it must have been pizza, it wasn’t a good idea to eat pepperoni,” I said with a trembling voice.

“I don’t think it’s the pizza,” he said.

I opened my mouth to answer but a twinge hit me and then a liquid spilled from my legs and wet the whole bed under me.

“Oooooh, f**k,” I said moaning as another twinge hit me even harder.

“f**k,” Andrew said and immediately got up, “Breathe deeply, Jess, you’re in labor,” he said as he turned the bed and walked past me.

He helped me move and sit on the bed, legs apart. He began to breathe with me, looking me in the eyes and caressing my cheek while a handheld over my stomach.

“Now I’ll get everything ready, I’ll get the bag and help you get dressed, so we can go to the hospital, okay?” he said, his forehead resting on mine.

I nodded without being able to say anything else, “Keep breathing,” and I did, I did it as if my whole life depended on it, and I did.

I kept breathing and breathing as Andrew moved frantically around me. A little later he was in front of me again and he was giving me loose pants. He helped me put my legs in and very gently put them on me.

“Okay okay, we’re gonna get up. Can you do it?” he asked me as I continued to breathe deeply as I had seen in thousands of video lessons and how he had made me learn Andrew himself.

I nodded and he immediately pulled me up. I smiled at him and Andrew surrounded my pelvis with one arm, almost lifting me from the ground as we walked towards the entrance. Next to the door, there was the suitcase with my things and in the car, there was another one with the children’s things.

Andrew grabbed her by the handle and opened the door with his elbow.

“We’re having our babies,” I said with my teeth clenched.

Andrew turned to me and kissed me gently on the lips “We are going to have our children” he repeated radiantly.
