Chapter 273 - Baby Names

The Party ended before midnight and they had so much fun. But the person who had so much fun was Connor. He was already thinking of the names of the baby. But no matter what the gender was, Connor would love their baby unconditionally. He was just expecting a Princess at first and would love Prince next as long as it is his Johanna. 

"I'm so happy," Connor said while pulling the duvet and helping her lay down. 

"I'm glad you are." She smiled and patted his cheeks. He walked around to the other side and climbed on the bed. He crawled closer to her as he bent down and kissed her tummy. 

"I love you." He said softly to her bump.. "What should we call her? We should think of a name." 

"Con," she giggled and reached his face. "I'm tired. Can we sleep?" 

"I don't think that I will be able to sleep now. I will see our baby sooner or later." 

"You will." 

He kissed her tummy again as he lay down closer to her. He kissed her lips and then her cheeks. 

"Let's plan for our wedding, love." 

She only looked at him and didn't respond. 

"Love, come on." He sighed and caressed her hair. "We've been engaged for a long time and our baby will come out soon. I think it's time that we tie knots and be together until we grow old." 

"Hmm, I will think about that. There's just so much to do." 

"We can elope somewhere. We don't need a grand one." He sighed and pulled the duvet to cover her chest. "My love, although we only have flings and dated for a few weeks, I love you. I've been with a lot of women but you are the one." 

"Okay, stop mentioning other women." She pushed his face but he moved closer again. 

"How about Xanthie? It's an adorable name." 

"Okay." She giggled and pushed his face. "You can name our baby any name you want but not some weird shit." 

"I won't name our Princess something weird." He kissed her lips and she responded. "Damn, I'm so excited." He mumbled as he lay down to his side. "Xanthie or we can go with Quinn." He kept mumbling and when he turned around, his wife was already sleeping sideways, facing him. He grinned and kissed her lips. He turned sideways and admired his beauty. "God, I love you so much." He grumbled. "I'm so happy that I met you." He caressed her hair and stared at her. He slowly shifted away. He won't be able to sleep well if he keeps his head and body alive like this for his love. 

"You can't be horny. She's pregnant." He whispered to himself.

Harvey was currently doing push-ups and sit-ups in his room, ten minutes after he woke up. He needs to trim his muscles and make his wife fall in love with him again. Recently, his wife was annoyed at him for unknown reasons. He didn't have an idea why she was angry and she wouldn't let him touch her. Do all women go to phases like that? 

"Four-hundred-five…" he grumbled and kept doing push-ups. 

"How long are you going to do that?" MJ asked grumpily and threw the shirt into him that she picked up from the floor. 

He stopped and breathed. 

"Babe!" He exclaimed. "This kept happening for days now." 

She only glared at him as she put her cardigan on, slippers and left the room. He quickly followed her and called her. 

"Mitch," he grumbled. 

MJ turned to him with those scary piercing glares. 

"I was starving so much but you fell asleep in a snap and didn't care if I was sleepless from your loud snoring." 

"I~I snore?" He was puzzled. 

"Fuck, you do!" She shouted at him and she started tearing. His heart shattered instantly as he approached her and hugged her but she hit him so hard. 

"Love, tell me what I did wrong," Harvey said, pleading with her. He scooped her face and wiped her tears. 

"I don't know." She cried and started sobbing. "I don't know, Harvey." 

"Hush." He hugged her and kissed her temple. "I'm sorry that I was snoring. I will surely solve that. Do you want some dessert? We can buy anything you want even though it's expensive." He caressed her tummy. 

"Harvey," She sniffled. 

"What?" He asked softly. 

"You weren't seeing anyone, right?" She asked and sniffled again. 

He creased his brows and shook his head. 

"Why would I do that?" He asked. 

"It's fine with me if you boys play adult games or the thing called hentai, but I don't want you to cheat on me!" 

Harvey froze and stared at her. He doesn't know where she got the idea but this is wrong. If she was always this emotional, then it would be bad for their baby. 

"Hey," he held her tummy. "Baby, don't do that." He sighed. "I wouldn't kill them if I would cheat on you." He whispered to her. "You know what I did, right? Do you think I would go through that measure to marry you and cheat on you? I am not that low." 

"I'm sorry." She sniffled. "I just~I don't know where I got it. Maybe I am insecure about my body and I couldn't give you the pleasure you need." 

"That's absurd. I work out every day in front of you to show off my muscles so you won't get mad." He scooped her face and kissed her passionately. She kissed back and hiccuped in the middle. She pushed him and wiped her mouth. "My love, don't be like that. I set my mind and heart, plus my sexy body on you, only." He sighed and reached for her hand. He kissed it and brought it to his wet chest. "Are you hungry?" 

"Yeah." She sniffled. "Let's have sex later but I want to eat first." She said, 

"Okay," he grinned. 

"Get dressed first." 

"Wait for me." 

He rushed back inside and put his shirt on. He grabbed a towel and wiped off his sweat. He smiled at her and held her hand. 

"Are you sure about sex?" 

"Yeah, it's not my first trimester." She told him. "The Doctor said that the baby is healthy." 

"That's good to know. I'm sorry if I wasn't there when you went for a check-up." 

"It's alright. Mom was with me." She said softly. "Your mom was very gentle and protective." 

"She is." He grinned and when they reached the stairs, he held her tummy and her back. "Carefully." 

"I'm fine." She told him. "I can walk up and down for a few staircases like two times a day or maybe five." 

"Hmm." He seemed to stop breathing while they were going down the stairs. "Pew." He said and she laughed at him. "Don't cry again, okay? I will do everything." 

"You better do that." She giggled. 

They reached the kitchen where Karmina was baking cookies. 

"Are you hungry?" Karmina asked. 

"I am." She smiled. Karmina stopped when she noticed her swollen eyes. 

"Did you make your wife cry, Harvey?" Karmina scolded her son. 

"Mom," Harvey sighed and he glanced at Violet who was already eating. They made eye contact and she nodded at her food. 

"I cry by myself. Silly me." 

"That's fine," Karmina said. "I was like that when I got pregnant with Keira too." 

"Yes, you were such a dramatic mom," Harvey said as he pulled the chair for his wife. MJ sat down carefully and smiled at Violet. Harvey served her food and then he went to the sink to wash his hands. He moved a little when Violet put her plate and mug on the sink. 

"I need to speak with you," Violet mumbled. 

"Okay," 

Then, Violet left. He ate with his wife but since his wife would take one hour to eat and chat, he left for a while and went to where Violet was. She was holding a white folder and he called her. 

"Vi, what is it?" 

She turned around to him and sighed. She looked down at the folder and extended it to him. He was about to reach it but she withdrew it back. 

"Before you open it. Please forgive us." 

"Violet, what is it?" Harvey said strictly. 

"Forgive us first." Violet insisted. 

"What mistake did you and others possibly make? You don't have to ask for forgiveness." 

"I'm serious." Violet shook her head. "What we did was wrong and we deserved to be suspended?" 

"Whatever mistake you made, you can't be suspended." He extended his hand. "Give it now." 

Violet extended it to him. Then, he reached for the envelope as he slowly opened it. He stopped first and read it. RR Laboratory. He creased his brows as his stomach clenched. He doesn't know what to think. His thoughts were racing. He pulled out the paper and read it. He creased his brows when his name and Karmina's name were there. 

"What is this?" He grumbled although he already knew it. "What does this mean!" He shouted at her. "I didn't tell you to do this!" 

"We were curious! Your surrogate mother lied to you!" 

Harvey started breathing heavily. 

"Mom," he mumbled.
