Chapter 306 - Have You Changed Your Mind?

Jacob sighed. "I change my mind. Let's not have a baby." Jacob suddenly thought about her pregnancy. During pregnancy, J would definitely feel a lot of difficulties from morning sickness until after labor. More so pregnancy could pose a threat to J's life. Some actually died during and after pregnancy or while giving birth. And Jacob thought about the 'what ifs' and the result scared him. And he was certain that a life without her is impossible. So, he will prevent that from happening.

J's face turned dour. "Jacob, I want to have a baby." J didn't realize until now how eager she is to have a baby with Jacob.

"Honey, I can't. I can't let you suffer. And I cannot lose you." Jacob became stern as well.

J suddenly realized where he is coming from. A dazzling smile appeared on her face. "You are overthinking things."

"I was just being sensible." Jacob was still able to reply after being stunned by J's dazzling smile. Jacob takes out the tray from the bed and offered J a glass of water.

"Morning sickness is normal, some doctors even said that it is a good sign because it means that the placenta is forming well. While this past few years the maternal mortality rate had dropped from 385 to 216 deaths out of 100,000 live births and it is continuously dropping. And most of the causes are preventable so the key is prevention."

"216 is still 216. I would change my mind again if that 216 dropped into 0." Jacob said as he walked in the bathroom to take a shower which made J slacked-jaw.

"You're impossible. How could you change your mind so quickly?" J said as she pursed her lips. Jacob ignored her and closed the door of the bathroom.

When Jacob finished his shower, he found J to be already asleep. She seemed tired. The whole day has been too busy for her. Plus, the fact that she has to travel for more than one hour from the hospital to Naupaka Racing Circuit is too troublesome for her. If he hadn't decided to stay for a week here at Naupaka Racing Circuit, she would have to travel back at Evergreen Villa at this hour leaving her only a couple of hours to sleep.

He walked towards the bed, pulled the blanket and lay beside his wife whose back is facing him. He gently places his arms under her head as a pillow and pulled her close to him. J's back is now touching his chest. Her soft and warm body seemed to have an unimaginable effect on him. It is something that he got used to and would never want to lose.

Actually, he really wanted to have a baby with her, that is why he was the first one to suggest it to her. But the thought of her in pain, difficulty, and danger during her pregnancy made him hesitant. He pulled her closer to him as he tightened his arms around her waist. No matter what happens and whatever the circumstance maybe, he will never let go of this woman beside him.

J felt Jacob beside her, so, she turned around to face him. "Hmm...have you changed your mind?" J mumbled as she squeezed herself in Jacob's chest. Jacob chuckled and said, "Silly. Go to sleep now or else I might not be able to control myself to make a baby with you right here right now."

A flash of a smile appeared on J's lips as she wrapped her arm around Jacob's body. She closed her eyes and drifted to her own dreamland.
