Demyan Point of View

"Do you love me?" I heard sniffling and I immediately looked down to find her crying.

Uh, what kind of question is that? Suddenly? In such situation!

"Of course I love you. That is why we are having kids." I said nonchalantly when I noticed her sniffle more and used my sweater sleeves to clean her tears and snot from her nose which I tried to ignore.

I may not tell her the whole 'I love you with my whole heart, mind and soul' speeches but isn't it clear that I'm still there with her, for her, by her side only because I have love for her.

Even though I cannot leave her by my own will, I can choose to avoid her and have flings to satisfy my needs but I'm still with her and having kids with her means I love her and I care for her.

It need not need words to tell the obvious.

"I love you toooooo, ARGH!" She yelled in pain and clutched her stomach. The nurse is still looking at the monitor saying that it still takes some time for her to dilate completely.

Right now, I'm standing near scarecrow's bed while she is struggling to deliver our first baby. It's been two years in marriage with her and to say she changed her mind-set is a foolish statement. Zinnia is still the same mental girl we ever know.

Not to mention the whole seven months of pregnancy has been the hardest time on my part. I read in books that usually pregnant women crave unusual stuff to eat but to my dismay, Zinnia's craving is what you call the definition of unusual.

The early trimester of the pregnant was tough for her due to serious morning sickness. I was so worried for her and the baby when she almost vomited everything she took in. We visited many doctors to cure it but none of their medicines could control it.

Guess what controlled her nauseousness?

Gun powder!

One day I was cleaning my favorite hand gun and Scarecrow ran into the bathroom to throw up. She was about to puke all the content in her stomach but stopped midway sniffing my hands. For a moment I didn't understand anything but then she started sniffing my gun too.

God! that was an awkward moment for me.

Who sniffs a gun and controls vomit?

Zinnia did.

That was when we discovered that the stinking ashy gun powder was her cure. Not only that, her food preference was weird too. She loved to eat baby food like cerelac and Cerber. She loved to dip her pizza in it and eat which is even weirder.

I sighed and sighed and sighed whenever she paired baby food with everything she ate. Out of curiosity, I once tasted a sandwich with Cerber fruits and nuts flavor and God was it awful.

That was definitely not anyone sane taste. Heaven knows what kind of baby would come out of all the experiment she did.

"Mr. Monk, please go out." Zinnia brought me out of my thinking state and yelled on the top of her lungs when another contraction hit her.

Though she was a pain in my as*, I still cannot see her in such pain.

"What? Why?" I asked her leaning towards her and wiping the sweat that was forming on her forehead. She must be in lot of pain for her eyes to turn so red.

"Though I am the one who is going though labor, I can tell that you are in more pain than me. You cannot watch the delivery, Dem. You might cry when I cry. So leave." She said in between heaves and sobs.

Uh, I do feel a lot worried and a little aching in heart when I look at her going through such pain but I am no way aching like I am going to die. Technically speaking, I'm not in any physical pain.

Liars are those who say that they can feel the pain of their better half. You cannot actually compare the pain. They are just sugarcoating at the moment of sensitivity.

God would've given the right to conceive kids to men too if they are that strong. Foolish people!

"I'm not in pain. I'm worried, yes but pain, No. You don't have to worry about me and take care yourself." I said and proceeded to wipe the sweat of her face again.

"Oh good, When are Alby and Tuyen coming?" She asked once she sipped a little water. Poor girl, I had always seen her tormenting others, when the time came for her torment, it feels so painful.

"Albina and Callisto will be coming in an hour after leaving Gaio with nanny." I answered her shortly and noticed her face morph into a wide grin when she heard her nephew's name.

Just a week ago, Albina gave birth to a cute baby boy Gaio and she and Zinnia knew no bounds after the bundle of joy came into our lives. It was a hell week for both me and Callisto to control our women over-gushing over the little boy not even giving him enough space to take breath.

According to my wife, he took good breath when he was in her mother's womb so it is not a problem to take breath when her mother is around.

Is that even sensible?

Well, with two mental women we cannot expect sanity. It was only when Tuyen came and shouted at them for being such a nuisance, that's when both of them left the poor boy for his alone time.

"Tuyen and beggar?" Zinnia asked with a painful face which indicated that the pain is shooting up quite frequently.

"Begg- uh, Egor and Tuyen are just five minutes away. They must be here in a minute or two." I said wondering when she will stop calling Egor as beggar.

Egor also just gave in because he has no energy to correct my wife as his wife is heavily pregnant too and was quite tortured due to her demands.

Coincidentally, Tuyen's delivery time was given just four days from now and coincidentally, all the three ladies fell pregnant at the same time.

An hour after Tuyen and Egor arrived, Zinnia's contraction hit more frequently. Tuyen and I tried to console her but She is pushing a human from her bottom obviously she felt like she's being torn to parts.

Not more than two hours, she finally yelled her last shout and the baby cries were heard. The doctor cleaned the baby and wrapped into a pink towel giving the little angel to me.

Zinnia already drifted into deep sleep before even meeting our baby daughter. Doctor said she was fine but was tired so she slipped into sleep so soon.

"This is so fun. I want to have more babies." I heard a hoarse whisper coming from the bed. I looked up from the sofa and saw Zinnia awake and looking at the baby girl with a huge grin.

Normally wives would threaten to cut their husband's junior if ever they come close to them but in my case, she found the labor pains fun and wanted more kids.

Phew...

I cannot ever predict this girl at all.

Her eyes were less red and she had a peaceful glint in her eyes after an hour of power nap. Tuyen and Egor and Albina Callisto met my daughter for ten minutes and went back to their houses because the ladies are tired themselves.

"Sure. Sure." I brushed off her statement for now. Let's first enjoy with our little angel and then see.

The doctor entered the room with a notepad and noted down some readings from the monitor. "What do you want to name your daughter?" She asked pulling out a form and waited for us to tell the name.

"Aurora" Zinnia whispered with a smile.

Aurora? Not bad. It's a very good name for our little fire here. I didn't know she already thought of a name for the baby girl. We couldn't come up with a good name even after trying for two months.

Nevertheless, it's a beautiful name.

"Aurora Lily Petrov." I finished the name cooing at my baby in my arms. The name suits her a lot. She will be one the precious people in my life.

My Aurora!

I gave her an air kiss as we are adviced to not kiss skin to skin with babies right now. The doctor noted down the name and went out leaving my family alone.

"Aurora is a good name. How did you come up with it?" I told her and kissed her soundly.

"You remember the old convenience store uncle who's ghost I always see?" She asked and I nodded remembering the story she told me.

What has this got to do with that dead man?

I don't know where her explanation is going to.

"Aurora is his wife name. After putting his wife's name to our daughter, I hope he stop appearing before me." WHAT?

WHAT THE -?

I was just being so happy for suggesting such a good name for our baby girl but as usual she has a weird story and reason behind it.

Who names their kids in such a manner?

What if our daughter comes to know about reason behind her name in the future? What will she do?

Poor my little angel! What will she go through in the coming years?

Will she become powerless like her father before her mother?

I'm so sorry, my Aurora. I can protect you from the world but not from your mother.

And...

And I love you so much, my sweet little daughter!

Hello Sweeties,

Surprise! Bonus chapter here. Enjoy!

Many of you wanted a love confession between monk and mental girl and also wanted to read the time when she was pregnant. So I wrote all of that in one single bonus chapter. I hope you like it.

I thought a routine love confession would be boring so I used a casual yet a funny way of their confession. 

This the only bonus chapter I write for the couple because whatever further crazy ideas I get, I am going to save them for Albina Callisto book.

I'm under pressure to make that book as crazy as this. Ooofff!

What do you think about Zinnia's craving?

Gun powder is the cure for nausea? Expected from Zinnia. Isn't it?

What do you think about the reason behind their daughter's name?

Please shower me with votes and comments

Share my book with your friends

Lots of Love
